It is very difficult to understand society, whilst many are in favour of deporting islam from (this discussion is Europe and hypocrisy) Europe, there is no acceptance regarding statements that white South Africans could just return to Europe. Whites are not considered minority refugees in South Africa.

Then there were Jews who had no country, so Zionist sometimes lived among Islamic tribes and had Abraham influence on religion, this could be middle east but could also be many Hungarian Jews who searched for land and during russian war ended up living with Syrians during the spice war.

Moses is their main prophet. Some other main prophets are: Joshua, Samuel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel. Some other minor prophets are: Hosea, Joel ...

John the Baptist (Judah)
Jesus Christ (Judah) were prophets who influenced modern day Christianity.

By the early 17th century Dutch control was more complete. Holland conquered the city of Malacca in 1641. This conquest also brought them control of the Malay Peninsula and nearby islands. In 1658 they gained control of the cinnamon trade in Ceylon. In 1663 they established exclusive trading rights in the pepper ports along the Malabar Coast of western India. By the end of the 17th century more Indonesian Islands fell under Dutch control, giving Holland unchallenged rights to the Asian spice trade.
This is example of cultural influence in West that has zero to do with the west.

In Arabic, Jeremiah's name is usually vocalised Irmiyā, Armiyā or Ūrmiyā.

There is no mention in the Holy Qur’an or in the Prophet’s Sunnah of the name Jeremiah, and there is no affirmation that he was one of the Prophets; rather this is something that was mentioned by the historians.

In this case we are not required to believe in him, because of the possibility that this may be one of the lies of the People of the Book, and it is not permissible for us to disbelieve in him, because of the possibility that he may indeed have been a Prophet. Rather we refrain from such a decision in his case.

Turkish Afrikaans telenovela
What is this type of movie? What is the influence and why? Is Afrikaans or flemisch still used in Europe today?

Example:
Packed with drama and romance, the series follows the story of Farah Ersadi, a 28-year-old Iranian doctor living in Istanbul. Unable to practice medicine in Turkey, she works illegally as a cleaner to support her six-year-old son, Kerimsah, who suffers from a life-threatening autoimmune disease.

Farah's life takes a dramatic turn when she witnesses a murder carried out by the local mafia. The mafia boss orders Tahir Lekesiz to eliminate her, but Tahir is torn between his loyalty to the mafia and his growing feelings for Farah and her son

The Qur’ān (2:258) mentions a prophet-like figure who was variously interpreted by Islamic exegetical tradition and by Western studies. Some of these interpretations in Islamic literature identify him as Jeremiah and the events alluded to in the Qur’ān as taking place around the city of Jerusalem. Islamic post-Qur’ān literature has elaborated on this, including Jeremiah in the historical prophetical line and depicting him as a prophet who was unsuccessful and had to escape his town before its destruction, brought about by Nebuchadnezzar. Islamic literature added details and narratives to these stories and also in some cases connected Jeremiah to Arab genealogy and lore. Echoes of the biblical book of Jeremiah are also attested to, albeit not in relation to the description of his life and mission given in the Islamic exegetical sources

^ That’s an abstract of Chapter 31, “The Prophet Jeremiah in Islamic Thought,” from The Oxford Handbook of Jeremiah.

It looks interesting.

Settler colonies like South Africa and Australia (you could throw in the US, Mexico, South America and Canada) often involve people fleeing poverty and persecution for the promise of Eden. Like the biblical Yaweh of old, we settler colonists create a world in the image of our ancestors. Australia, Canada and New Zealand are simply transplants of the homes of our forbearers. I was amazed how much suburbs of California or the burroughs of the UK look so much like the suburbs of Melbourne or Sydney.

A famous Australian writer named Henry Lawson called the new power in the colony of Australia "mammon which according to biblical writers means a world meant for riches, often used to describe the debasing influence of material wealth. Our cultural roots hasn't changed, its about expansion and exploitation with no real purpose other than for the material benefit of a lucky few who post their expensive lifestyle on IG.
