Nowadays, there are many claims that Christianity and Judaism are actually plagiarized versions of Islam. I do not agree with this claim. It is true that there is a lot of pseudo-history in the West, but this does not mean that a certain desert monotheism that retains original habits is the origin of the other two.
It is known that Judaism, Christianity and Islam all belong to one of the Abrahamic religions. Since all three give Abraham (Ibrahim) a high status, it is a recognized fact that these three religions have the same origin. He is the only one among them. The difference is only a question of who comes first and who comes last.
There are many common connections between the scriptures of the three religions. For example, much of the content in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible comes from the Jewish Bible, the Tanach (Hebrew Bible). There are also many similarities in the mythological figures that appear in the three religions, such as Abraham, who is called Ibrahim in Islam, Moses, who is called Musa in Islam, etc.
Among them, Christianity clearly admits that it originated from Judaism. In other words, the disputes about the origin of the Abrahamic religions are mainly between the Jews and the Muslims. Both of them are arguing about who comes first.
So which of the two is true? This is a very important question, related to the direction of Western pseudo-history exposure.
If we conduct a pseudo-historical analysis based on Islam as the first faith of the Abrahamic religions, the final result will only be to graft many of the civilizational achievements of the entire West, and even the East and the world, onto Arabia or Persia.
In the Arabian and Persian regions, even eating was a problem in ancient times. How could such a harsh environment produce many civilizations and technological achievements? Especially in modern history, the Arab and Persian regions are synonymous with backwardness and isolation.
Not only do they retain the ancient nomadic religious customs and have always been closed to themselves, but they have never thought about development and progress. It seems that any thoughts and behaviors that are not in line with their own beliefs will be regarded as heretics by them.
When Europe and East Asia entered the period of rapid development of the Industrial Revolution, Arabia and Persia were still in primitive nomadic tribal slave societies, and they rejected any reason that would enable them to carry out religious reform.
Especially in terms of the cultural quality of the people, the religious rulers in the Middle East are deeply afraid that their citizens or religious people will come into contact with the written word, or study or interpret religious scriptures themselves, and are very careful to prevent the crisis of religious reform among the public. Therefore, the ruling elite is doing their best to Restrict social development (similar to the Qing Dynasty's approach to restricting the Han people).
What culture can be produced in such an area? They could initially rely on primitive violence to invade surrounding tribes and countries, thereby spreading their own religion for enslavement.
But after the surrounding tribes and countries have learned and applied the advanced technology originated from the Eastern Chinese Han people, what is waiting for the Arabs? Maybe it's death. Because they are not enterprising and unwilling to accept any foreign ideas and technologies (except for firearms and other military violence instruments).
Since the Middle Ages, Arabs and Persians have been invaded and enslaved by the Sinicized Turks and Mongols from the east. Where did the Turkic nomadic tribes come from? They migrated from the east. Where did the Mongols come from? They were also nomadic tribes that migrated from the east.
Whether they are Turks or Mongols, they have had complex exchanges and high-level integration with the Chinese region, and have learned a lot of advanced civilization and technology from the Han people, which has made their westward movement (conquest to the west) extremely smooth. This is the result of military and various aspects of technology The result of crushing on levels.
In particular, the Mongolian Western Expedition directly led to the large-scale application of Han gunpowder technology on the western battlefield. This was the first large-scale leakage of Chinese technology and civilization. The losses to China were very heavy because of the Mongolian plunder. A large number of precious technologies have been spread overseas.
The Song Dynasty was the peak period of the development of Chinese gunpowder technology. Shen Kuo, a scientist from the Song Dynasty, introduced in detail the production methods, properties, uses, etc. of gunpowder in "Mengxi Bi Tan", and proposed the theory that "nitrate is mainly straight, sulfur is mainly horizontal", and pointed out the impact of different ratios on the performance of gunpowder .
During the Song Dynasty, various weapons that used gunpowder technology as propellant or explosives appeared successively, such as rockets, muskets, thunder cannons, landmines, flying fire rings, etc. These weapons played an important role in the Han people's resistance to foreign invasion, especially the Mongol army.
These gunpowder technologies were spread to Europe with the Mongols' Western Expeditions. Among them, the Mongols' most important military strategic partners were the Turks. The Mongols later ruled the vast areas of Eastern Europe and established many Mongol empires, and the Turks later ruled the Middle East and established the Ottoman Empire.
The Mongols in Europe were later assimilated by Christianity, and the Turks in the Middle East were assimilated by Islam. Due to the closed nature of Islam, the Middle East continues to maintain its former backwardness and stagnation.
In Europe, due to a series of means such as the conquest of the Mongols, the infiltration of the Jews, the Jesuits' mission to China and their support to help establish the rule of the Qing Dynasty, they finally achieved the reversal of Eastern civilization in the field of science and technology. It has led the world at the forefront for hundreds of years.
The above is my explanation of the outflow of Chinese civilization and science and technology that led to the development and progress of Europe. Some pseudo-historians say that Arab and Islamic culture promoted the development of Europe. I absolutely do not want to agree with this! I personally believe that it was the Eastern Chinese civilization that laid the foundation for the development of Europe and the Middle East, not the so-called Arabia and Persia.
As for the question of who copied whom between Islam and Judaism, it is clearer and easier to understand. It is actually very simple to clarify the relationship, and there is no need for much history to verify. It is just through the relationship between Islam and Judaism in financial and commercial lending. Views lead to conclusions.
The Quran gives Arab merchants a lofty and sacred status. Muhammad once said, "Businessmen are like messengers in the world and trustworthy servants of God on the earth. From this we can see that business is crucial to Islamic society. link.
But a religion that values commerce so much prohibits lending. Are you sure this is not a joke? Coincidentally, Christianity also says the same, and Christianity also prohibits believers from lending money. The two major Abrahamic religions prohibit believers from lending money, but only Judaism can lend money. Only Jews can open banks, collect deposits, and make a fortune by borrowing interest. This is really incredible.
It is a known fact that in the Middle Ages, whether it was the royal families of European countries or the royal families of Middle Eastern countries, due to the constraints imposed on them by the Abrahamic religions, they were prohibited from opening bank deposit institutions. So who would host this institution? Yes, they are all Jews.
The palace bankers of the Ottoman Empire (the person in charge of the management of royal property) were generally held by Jews, and the same was true for the palace bankers of royal families in various European countries.
This is also an important reason why whether you are in various European countries or various countries in the Middle East, you can see that there are Jewish rich bankers in these countries, and they have been forced to give up such important power institutions to the Jews.
Let’s give an vivid example and hope readers can understand it. A man discovered an island in the ocean. In order to prevent others from seizing the island, he forged a tombstone of his ancestors on the island, and then claimed that the island was left to him by his ancestors.
This man later promulgated many laws on the island that were beneficial to him, saying that new people on the island must live on the island according to his own rules. So the people who came to the island later had to abide by these inexplicable and unknown rules in order to survive on the island.
Are these rules reasonable? Unreasonable, are these rules legal? It's not legal, but that's how people followed these rules, because they were set by the first people to come to the island, and they were willing to accept that person's rules.
If you want to understand the above, you will know why the monarchs of various countries in Europe and the Middle East did not open their own banks and deposit the money in their own vaults, but handed it over to others, because they were latecomers who accepted the rules of the island.
Yes, such simple logic, but why can’t everyone figure it out? Why don’t the governments, churches, and royal families of Christian and Islamic countries open their own banks? Is it because it is difficult to open a bank? Or is it because the bank is unlucky?
Then why does money become auspicious and acceptable to the teachings by allowing Jews to open banks? This is logic.
