Darko Bulatovic - Muslims, knowing Allah allowed for Jews and Christians to mislead them self by corrupting the text, what assurance did you get from Allah that you are special in that regard?

Muhammad Rasheed - The question asks me, as a Muslim, to ignore common sense and historical knowledge to blindly convert to the caricatured strawman form of Islam that xenophobic online hate trolls invented to mock the faith.

There’s a network of online Christian missionaries (Sam Shamoun, Christian Prince, GodLogic, etc.) who specialize in using semantic word play and the deliberate twisting of Islamic concepts to convert their preferred prey—third world, poorly-studied ‘cultural Muslims’—to Christianity, and “Allah allowed for Jews and Christians to mislead them self[sic]” is one of those disingenuous twists. It gives the impression that the Qur’an is saying that the Jews and Christians went into a zombie-like trance and inadvertently corrupted their texts without realizing it, when in fact, the corruption was very much a conscious, deliberate act, the mentality of which was not present among the early Muslims, whose fire of faith zeal inspired them to actively want to preserve the Word of God their prophet preached with full devotion. Obviously, the Jews and Christians NEVER had such an attitude about their books, and seemed to take for granted that there would always be a new prophet coming along to return them to the Path (while they protested the holy mission kicking-n-screaming, mind you), so they held no sense of urgency that they should strictly record what the prophets preached from their Lord.

Allah allowed this because it is humanity’s job to manage our affairs based on what was revealed. If we decide to mismanage the gifts given to us by our Guardian Lord—no matter who we are—then we will answer for our choices on the Day of Judgment. The Question’s author wants to pin his people’s poor guardianship of their book on God, when that demonstration of a lack of accountability is not how any of this works at all.

Darko Bulatovic - Haha there is a difference between you and me.

I know I will stand to Allah alone and have to prove I loved those who believe in Him.

Muhammad Rasheed - Those who directly corrupted the text will be held accountable for what they did, and those of you who blindly support their corruption will be held accountable for what you did. And you will indeed do so standing alone before your Lord.

Darko Bulatovic - What will be with people like you? Who know nothing for certain but judged by hear-say? You have shown evidence or detailed knowledge of what exactly? Of nothing.

Muhammad Rasheed - Darko wrote: “What will be with people like you?”

Whatever God so Wills, naturally. In scripture, He said that people like me—who believe in our Lord unseen—will receive forgiveness and a great reward.

Darko wrote: “Who know nothing for certain but judged by hear-say?”

Do you think the inerrant Word of God is “hear-say?” How foolish.

Darko wrote: “You have shown evidence or detailed knowledge of what exactly? Of nothing.”

Am I expected to believe that a creature like you is somehow a respecter of knowledge & evidence? lol The nature of your original question above reveals this is not at all the case.

James Fell - 

A Trojan could have prevented this Troy.

Greg Lose - Honestly doesnt even look all that while….

Muhammad Rasheed - @Greg... He looks exactly like a white guy. He may not be a Michael B. Jordan alpha-specimen among the race, but he definitely displays the white racial phenotype kit.

Nikolai Hermansen - @Greg... He looks Balkan tbh. Some Slavic, Turkish, maybe Mongolic dna.

Just based of visual cues, but of course I can’t know for sure.

Muhammad Rasheed - @Nikolai... Are those "races" listed, or nationalities/ethnicities? Are there currently whites, blacks and Asian racial phenotypes living in the Balkans, Slav, Turkey and Mongolia?

Nikolai Hermansen - @Muhammad... Those are a mix of phenotypes and ethnicities.

The Turkic peoples (those that live in Turkey today), originally came from the steppes over near Mongolia and western China, they migrated east, and thus Turks spread into the Balkans.

None of those are black, mongolic is pretty wide in terms of history. The mongol empire was ginormous, and much of its population were Turkic-mongolic peoples of the steppes. Some of their successor states ruled large swaths of Eastern Europe for centuries, and thus they also spread from there.

The Slavs, I believe, came down from the now southern Russian plains/steppes, the bulgars migrated from around the urals down to modern day Bulgaria in around the 7th century AD.

Muhammad Rasheed - 

ME: "Are there currently whites, blacks and Asian racial phenotypes living in the Balkans, Slav, Turkey and Mongolia?"

YOU: "The Turkic peoples (those that live in Turkey today), originally came from"

There are lots of diverse groups in Turkey and in these other places, from many different backgrounds. Of the people currently living in Turkey, are there representatives of the white, black and Asian racial phenotype?

Nikolai Hermansen - Dude, don’t be rude.

There are some. But there’s more than just one phenotype for each of those groups. There isn’t just one “white phenotype”, and so on.

There are many types of people in Turkey, but the main population, those of TURKIC origin, came from the steppes, as I said.

How is this even relevant to what I said? Why are you bringing in race? I was just taking a loose guess about his genetic heritage based on his fave.

Muhammad Rasheed - Nikolai wrote: "Dude, don’t be rude."

What did I post that was rude?

Nikolai wrote: "But there’s more than just one phenotype for each of those groups. There isn’t just one 'white phenotype,' and so on."

This is 100% my point in every way. There's a difference between racial phenotype "race" versus nationalities/ethnicities. This guy may be Balkan, Slavic, Turkish, but he also has the white racial phenotype kit. 

Bringing up his ethnic/nationality in a racial discussion is irrelevant, and even could be considered a clumsy misdirection attempt.

Nikolai Hermansen - He looks mostly mongolic/turkic in my opinion, how is that white phenotype? Would you considering mongols and Turks white? Many don’t.

It’s not as easy as just saying “he’s white”. There’s much more to it, especially when it comes to ethnicity. And I didn’t bring up nationality, I brought up ethnicity, which is extremely relevant in a conversation* about the look of a person.

And are you trying to accuse me of misdirection, or what? And for what?

Muhammad Rasheed - Nikolai wrote: "He looks mostly mongolic/turkic in my opinion, how is that white phenotype?"

He has light skin, a thin nose, straight hair and a round eye. These are the Caucasoid racial features.

Nikolai wrote: "Would you considering mongols and Turks white?"

Which returns me to my original question—are there whites, blacks and Asian representatives of the three racial phenotype groups living in those nations? What does nationality have to do with race?

Nikolai wrote: "Many don’t."

You're attempting to use the Appeal to the Majority logical fallacy to prove a point? Curious.

Nikolai wrote: "It’s not as easy as just saying 'he’s white.'"

It is if you have eyes to see with. If you're ignoring what's real to operate from behind a deceitful ideology, then the faux-complexity can come into it.

Nikolai wrote: "There’s much more to it"

Not organically.

Nikolai wrote: "especially when it comes to ethnicity"

lol Ethnicities often contain multiple racial groups, especially those that fell within the very racially diverse Ottoman Empire.

Nikolai wrote: "And I didn’t bring up nationality"

Meanwhile, both Turkey and Mongolia are nations.

Nikolai wrote: "I brought up ethnicity, which is extremely relevant in a conversation* about the look of a person."

Only if you're attempting to create confusion from behind the tenets of an ideology-based mindset.

Nikolai wrote: "And are you trying to accuse me of misdirection, or what?"

Sure, if it turns out that's what you're actually doing.

Nikolai wrote: "And for what?"

Well, from here it looks like the point is to pretend that only the most attractive white people are authentically "real" white people, while the ugly ones are somehow magically not, apparently so that you can advocate for Hitler's Aryan Ideal doctrine. White nationalist racist hate trolls do that type of clown-world foolishness all the time, where they pretend that Gabourey Sidibe and Lester Green are the average Black people and only Brad Pitt and Taylor Swift are the only true-authentic look for white people.
