Eric replies: Marshall understates, it is one common religion, an enigma
rolled into ironies ! Spread over a wide area, the out-of-Africa Semites were
essentially Hindu: Think 'Temple to OM' in Egypt's 'Shiva' Oasis, where
Vaskan-Tamil is spoken to this day. Both groups honour a common "Father",
Avram(Abraham). A benign laissez-faire Faith evolved in an unkind terrain, and
the Devas were firmly in place after Persia was settled. One has to consider
the arrival of monotheisim in the region a calamity, when seen in the context
of the consequent upheavals of the last two millenia. Credit here is shared by
both Abe and Zoroaster, and violence by the latter's group drove the Persian
Hindus who survived into the eastern desert - Afghanistan, and then into India.
A millenium later, in a cute twist, we exported Buddhism to
Bamian !The Semitic groups had long competed and clashed with the northern
Hatti-Kadesh (Hittites). These Aryas/Kavkasians posed the threat that sent
Abraham across a thousand mile desert trek from Ur/Basra to Kannan(Cannan),
where the Habrus first confronted Samson-Arafat and his Philistines. The
desert is unforgiving, but new 'prophets' extended hope through their endless
vicissitudes. Mohammed was determined to be the last, but Bahulla and his
Bahais,in Iran, along with Ahmed and his Ahmadis in Karachi are a reminder that
'hope springs eternal in the human breast.' eric.
