White supremacists celebrate a middle eastern religion that worshiped “Alaha” and culturally enriched Europe by wiping out the indigenous religions and resulted in over a thousand years of women wearing hijabs.
little hard to read the flow of but i got and appreciated the message in the end 6/10 meme :)
Could you explain, then, please? My brain turned into pudding attempting to understand this…
Chap at the top is claiming “Christianity is part of European identity” but the image contrasts the pagan religions of Europe 2,000 years ago (you can throw in the Celts, Romans and Greeks too) on the left with Christianity which has it’s roots in various Middle Eastern religions (Judaism, Zoroastrianism, etc) on the right.
“Elaha” (ܐܠܗܐ) is the Aramaic for “God” and “Alaha” (ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ) is the same word in Syriac (both languages used by the early Church), which is similar to other Semitic languages like Hebrew (Elohim) and Arabic (Allah).
The meme is basically making fun of the fact that Christianity, as an evangelizing religion, necessarily is not core piece of any culture it interacts with, but a colonial replacement for already existent local traditions.
Europe was majority pagan until several centuries after Christ had come and gone, and that demographic balance was mostly tipped by wiping the alternatives out.
I think there’s just not as much structure as the spacing would suggest. Image shows a milieu of religious expression including but also beyond Christianity across Europe. Character ignores all of the counter examples and claims there’s only one.
This might be more traditionally expressed with something like the SpongeBob Pile meme macro.
Islamic culture just can’t compare to the advanced West. They try so hard to compete with our violence and cruelty, but they just don’t have the technology to compete. I mean they’d have to do eleven nine elevens every day for 10 thousand years just to equal the senseless violence of a single WWI battle.
I have faith that Muslim immigrants will be capable of matching the West for barbarity and bloodthirstiness within a few generations if they try hard to integrate into Western Civilization.
Excuse me sir Jesus was a white man from Kentucky.
