Colonized or conquered?

[BenLurkin]

It left off England.

[Jim Noble]

Why did you post that?

Conquest and colonization is the history of our species. It’s perfectly normal.
Are you complaining Muslims do it better than Christians?

[bwest]

Note the inclusion of “palestine”, whatever that is.

Where’s Turkey?

Muslims don’t colonize. They invade and then seek to destroy the local culture and replace the laws and religion and culture with Islam.

I think Grok convulated the predominantly Muslim countries and countries once colonized by Muslim. As far as I know, Indonesia never been under Ottoman or Indian Moghul. Islam spread but not by Islamic colonization. Meanwhile, countries like Spain, Serbia, Albania, part of Italy and yes, Turkey are all colonized by them.

The list of ones NOT colonized by muzzies would be shorter.

I posted a comment on this FR thread about how conversational AI platforms are prone to sycophancy (it might be useful to some on this thread).

Here's the thread:

AI endorses and affirms your delusions

Here's my comment:

One way around AI’s tendency to adapt to perceived user preferences (what might be called sycophancy) is to ask it to respond from a purely logical point of view.

The pretraining process teaches AI patterns, reasoning methods, and how to navigate logical structures. In other words, it’s designed to analyze the data it was trained on using logical consistency.

So when you prompt it to respond logically, it will prioritize formal reasoning and rely on its pretrained knowledge base and internal structures—largely independent of any personalization layers or conversational bias toward your style or preferences.

Although there are small groups of islamists in Hungary, Greece, Sicily and Spain, they are by no means a majority. Here are two recent census numbers:

Religion in Hungary: In the national census of 2022, 42.5% of the population identified themselves as Christians, of various denominations. Only 1.3% are adherents of other religions—Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Baháʼí, Taoism, paganism, and New Age.

Religion in Greece: Christianity, chiefly Greek Orthodox, represented 81% of the total population in 2022 and is constitutionally recognized as the "prevailing religion" of Greece. Religions with smaller numbers: Islam (2%), other Christian denominations (1%), atheists (14.7%).
