    Wouldn’t this mean that their language has not evolved which kind explain why their thinking also seems pretty archaic on a few important issues… honor killings just the tip of the iceberg?

      That’s an ignorant and racist comment dude. Grow up and do some research. We have institutes that develop and maintain Modern Standard Arabic across most Arabic-speaking countries.

      their thinking also seems pretty archaic on a few important issues… honor killings just the tip of the iceberg?

      “Their thinking” is what led you to algebra, modern medicine, geometry, architecture, and astronomy. You’re judging entire peoples based on some bad examples? That’s like me judging your entire civilisation based solely on the actions of white supremacists and other hate groups or cultist shit.

      We have a multitude cultures too. We have many religions (and not just Islam). We have many ethnicities (and aren’t all Arab). We have good people and bad people. Just like you do. Does that make us any different?

        arabic =/= islamic, by the way just like english =/= christian

        people’s inability to seperate language from national identity, from religion, is the same reason people are still to this day, dumbfounded or in denial that some of the most ferocious resistance of the russian invasion of ukraine are from primarily russian speaking regions.

        just because you are A and B, does not mean you are automatically C.
