That the Ethiopian nation has been governed by successive states whose borders have shifted over the millenia does not diminish its historical continuity, as much as you would like to discount it. I suspect the fact that avowedly Christian Ethiopia did not kill all of its Muslims and yet still lives challenges your dream of an inevitable Clash of Civilizations. So you ignore it...

The same could be said of Britain, as much as you would like to discredit it.

"I suspect the fact that avowedly Christian Ethiopia did not kill all of its Muslims and yet still lives challenges your dream of an inevitable Clash of Civilizations. So you ignore it..."

I suspect it was the command from the "prophet" to specifically not mess with the Christians of Ethiopia had something more to do with it. They are, BTW, having their own problems with the resurgence of Jihad.

"So you ignore it..."

You continue to ignore - or attempt to hide - reality.
