    “Pre-Islamic”…

    When are we going to have the balls to admit all the cultural appropriation and assimilation committed by the Abtahamic faiths?

    Islam did to Arabic, Semetic and other middle eastern mysticisms, as the Catholic church did to European paganism.

    A bit of genocide, with the motto of the round table. “Embrace, expand, extinguish”.

    Merry Christmas, you filthy animals.

      Kinda like how smart phones were a popular technology innovation that rapidly spread, the idea of no-human-sacrifices-required was kinda the same thing. I promise you, the various European pagan religious leaders back then were abusing their power just as Abrahamic religious leaders abuse their power today.
