I am fascinated...would you be willing to provide a link or (as brief as you wish, I don't want to impose) a synopsis?
Cheers!
This is off the wall & a bit irreverent — hate to attack the dead — but I couldn’t help wondering if Steven Jobs’s personality had a lot to do with his Syrian father. In his dealings with people he seemed very Arabic — hotheaded, vain, cunning, vicious, impetulant. At the same time he considered himself a poet & a romantic (other Arab traits). “Reality distortion” is a very Middle Eastern mentality.
Just my .02.
More on topic — I always felt there was a strong Arabic undercurrent in Latino societies. Part of it may have to do with the Spanish conquerors, many of whom probably intermarried with Arabs/North Africans. Likewise for Italy.
Western-style democracy only works in a gentleman culture, like Britain (formerly, anyway) or Japan. Not where it’s tribal or diverse.
For later re read.
Ping for Later.

You all MUST read this.
Recent genetic studies have shown that invaders, even those who dominate for long periods, generally have remarkably little impact on the gene pool of the area. Since the Muslim invaders of Spain were not genetically based, but were rather based on religion, and also were by all accounts very few in number, I would expect the genetic impact to be even less than usual.
But cultural patterns are probably minimally, if at all, based in the genetic code. Which doesn't mean they aren't persistent and critically important. Only that a Japanese boy brought up from birth in 10th century Spain by Moslem parents, and fully accepted by his compatriots, would be difficult to tell apart by his actions from his friends of Arab, Berber, Gothic, Celtic and Roman ancestry.
Bump for the present.
These conglomerates of filth are the reason for nuclear weapons. Gather the vermin into a confined area and sterilize them. After that initial cleansing, the small packs and lone wolfs of the remaining abusers can be controlled by small arms fire. There is no excuse to continue allowing scum to abuse women, rape children and harm innocents.
How long before some fringe FReeper declare that this "proves" that the CFR is "Zionist?"
I guess that made him an advocate of "Asiatic despotism." Wonder if he ever realized the irony?
Also, an older post that may interest:

It's a great pic of her.
Bump for great justice.
How are you gentlemen.

Resistance. Restoration. Retribution.
I don’t see how the author proves the theory with actual examples.
South Americans are very diverse. People are even distict culturally from one town to another. That cruelty that is mentioned didn’t exist intil Marxism put its’ ugly tentacles there.
What ruined South America was Marxism, corruption, drugs, the evil that imported that system.
Haven’t you seen the legions of American actors that supported Chavez? Of course former American President Carter was Chavez’ biggest cheerleader.

The 2009 “coup d’état in Honduras was carried out with the acquiescence of the U.S. government at the time. In fact, the Millennium Challenge Corp., an independent U.S. foreign-aid agency chaired by the Secretary of State — Hillary Clinton at the time — continued to provide funding to the coup regime in the immediate aftermath of the putsch, even as the U.S. State Department indicated publicly that it had suspended assistance programs in Honduras.”

“There has indeed been a “marked resurgence” of Iranian state sponsorship of terrorism over the past 18 months. But as the new Nisman report drives hom, here’s an even more disturbing fact — Iran has run intelligence networks in the United States’ backyard to “sponsor, foster and execute terrorist attacks” for decades.”
“Criminal plans” by Iran could be under way in Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago, the report said.
