Those who are descendents of diaspora Jews - are descendents of Jews that were exiled. They have mixed into their blood other genes, of those that, shall we say, liked to have fun with their daughters, among the host countries. But still they are direct descendents of those who left, as Jews are those whose mothers were Jews. So they are right.

I think the middle eastern ones are the purest Hebrews, like Yemenite, Iranian, and Iraqi ones (Iraqi Jews in particular, they even have cities in Iraq, such as Heet).

Like to have fun with their daughters? are you talking about the Ashkenazis?

It's in the name, Hindu, which I think it means Indian (In my language, Hindi means Indian).

Hindu is a Persian word- hindu for Indians is 'sanatana Dharma'.
It doesn't spread like Islam or Christianity is because Hindus do not consider religion as something that needs to be spread through force or pressure.
That is the fundamental reason for the spread of Christianity and Islam.

The Jews were a reclusive people, keeping to themselves, and generally persecuted and bereft of rights. I am not at this moment going into the whys and wheres of it, just - in general. The host countries were not free of people who liked the looks of Jewish ..... and thought everything was allowed. After all - who's going to defend them? Pogroms were not a rarity.

So, while there were not a lot of intermarriages, not without the ..... leaving the community completely and usually converting to the husband's faith when such did happen, there were a fair number of children fathered by locals. Being children of Jewish mothers they were all, naturally, Jewish.

Purity of blood has never been a question with Jews, so I don't know how to answer your claim, or what it is based on.

Thanks for the info. You know? many words that I think are Indian end up being Farsi..like Stan as in PakiSTAN.

Why don't we at least see Hindu missionaries? invitations?

LOL!!! good one, I have topics that don't include the word Mesopotamia or Sumer!!!

I don't think we all do place ethnicity above religion..you do know that Iran means the land of Aryans, right? they're more proud of being Aryans than Europeans themselves.

Some religions do believe in the superiority of its people.

Maybe you will be surprised to learn, that bulgarians also have an iranian origin.

You sort of do nowadays- there is a hindu sect called ISKON and Hare Krishna- they mostly stand around busy junctions and give out pamphlets.
But historically speaking, Indic religions like hinduism,buddhism and jainism arnt very proselytic. The bulk of Buddhist proselytism is a byproduct of monks travelling(Buddha said that travelling and seeing new lands and new cultures is a key part of attaining nirvana) and indirectly spreading their philosophies.
The indic religions have a different viewpoint than the mesopotamian ones- there isnt a word for religion in indic languages for example. The word most often associated with religion is dharma- which doesn't translate well into english- dharma is not faith, it is more consistent with the 'way of life' or 'the beat of the universe'.
Most indic faiths believe that their way is the correct way of the universe and ultimately, the way of the universe wins, whether you follow it or oppose it, thus there is no reason to actively spread it.
They also think that religion is a deeply personal matter and it can't be spread unless the recepient is ready on their own accord. ie, they espouse the viewpoint of 'come to us when you are ready' rather than 'we will come to you'.

Not at all, unless you're surprised that Iraqis have Iranian and European origins besides Arab.

Don't most of the people of Europe have origins in Iran?

And I respect to see the oldest religion in the world is only the 3rd biggest religion in the world..peace is a bless.

You're right about the difference of the Indus and Mesopotamian religion, Mesopotamian religions are the cradle of modern day's biggest religions (Islam and Christianity). The only difference is that they worshipped many different gods and never forced their religion upon any people like Muslims and Christians do.

Yes, Islam and Christianity certainly do not approve it.

Judaism was originally sent to the Israelites, and Israelites only.

I get what you say as, Islam and Christianity aprove the racial differences, if I understand you correct.?

Now,

Racial difference is the fact, It is visible fact that all the christians and muslims has differences withing their religion.

For example in Europea there are mediterneal looking brunette people and also there are blond scandinavians.

There are sheerer differences amongs Muslim people than that

In this sense what does it means aproving the reality or not?

You probably mean They don't aprove racism.

No, racial differences.

Ethnic groups might discriminate, but not those two religions.
