What does diversity mean?
the state of being diverse; variety.
"there was considerable diversity in the style of the reports"
a range of different things.
plural noun: diversities
"newspapers were obliged to allow a diversity of views to be printed"
synonyms: variety, miscellany, assortment, mixture, mix, mélange, range, array,
the state of being diverse; variety

Now apparently, to this professonal George Ciccariello-Maher, associate professor of politics and global studies at Drexel. this educator this purveyor of the most advanced knowledge at Drexel University would add genocide.
The scharade of BLM , when someone's says "all lives matter" and they are shamed into apologizing. When a dissenter is dismissed as an old white guy regularly on the propaganda networks .Trump supporters are regularly called as a group all the ists and plorables that you can think of. Rational coexistence is under attack. The important focus for individuals is what they can do with their life not what they have no control over like genealogy.

    Oh, I have read several books on Genghis. I understand the statement, but not sure I agree. Genghis pulled together a feudal society. He was a conqueror. He was brutal in conquering. However, he did many positive things. Religious tolerance was one. Displacing (killing) the ruling class of conquered lands was another. Leaving people largely alone if they submitted to his rule was another. Most of those he displaced might have been less brutal, but most were corrupt.

    Barbarian just means "not Greek", or later "not Roman", while true, it is an irrelevant distinction, applying to us as well. The later adjective, meaning "uncivilized" does not apply. Genghis lived in accordance with a civilization and culture, and expanded it enormously. If you mean he was brutal, sure he was. So was just about everyone back then.

    I am not familiar with tribute of slaves. Much later than Genghis, the Khan of Russia became a muslim and then allowed a christian church to be created. When you say he wasn't "able to conquer the Rus", do you mean completely? The Monguls did conquer western parts of Russia, and held it for ~300 years.

    The Monguls were brutal, but they, particularly Genghis, initiated several governing principles that were new and positive. His accomplishments are quite astonishing for the chief of a little tribe.

    Come on, Thoritsu, GK was a barbarian. Not being able to conquer the "Rus, he exacted tribute and slaves were part of that tribute. The Golden Horde, you know. Russians called them Tatars.

    Yes, I see that, and realize they had some degree of religious tolerance, but I question if it was as complete as Genghis.

    By Abbasid Spain, I am referring to the Muslim government in Spain in the 8th through 13th centuries. Sometimes called the finest flowering in human thought throughout history. Gave rise to Averroes, Avicenna, Maimonides and eventually Aquinas.

    I've never agreed with the Doctrine of Original Sin, even as a little girl. I could not believe that a perfect, loving creator could form an imperfect soul. The word "sin" can encompass a lot---perhaps only a mistake of action, or could be an intent to do "wrong". Because humans can choose--formerly known as free will-- their actions, then "sin" or "error" can arise.
    Because man has a sense of the about-to-be, which distinguishes him from all other animals, he not only must choose between "me and thou" but also between the "present and the future".So man is not born in original sin, but because he must make these choices, and can never be 100% certain of the future, he is of necessity imperfect. Only God can know all the consequences of any one action, and all the consequences of all actions. So only God can be perfect. I'll get off my soap box now.
    But if you think of "pre-will" instead of free will, you will see that man's choices are based somewhat on each man's unique nature. And that it is by living our lives independently that man can learn by the mistakes he makes. You have the right to make your own mistakes.

    I am not quite sure I get the free will idea you mentioned. As I remember, and it was quite awhile ago !, we all had free will and were therefore all sins were our fault

    With only less than 3 weeks left in office, what a STUPID thing to do. He just wants to go after Trump and make it difficult for him. If I were Trump, I would just get rid of ALL of Obama's exec orders on the first day in office. being hacked is OUR problem for not being secure.

    I don't think they were the first. I'm thinking that Abbasid Spain was the most tolerant.

    That free will and predestination thing is pretty inconsistent---

    I couldn't agree more.
    And now, and now, Ovomit has gone and thrown the Russians out of America! Did you hear that yet?

    Monguls were good for that, even though they were the first government to offer religious freedom. We could learn some things from them.

    I was raised a catholic but there were so many inconsistencies I began to question it and eventually dropped out

    Project Ajax in '52 or '53, led directly to the Iranian revolution of 1979, and that in combination with the Carter/Brzezinski provocation of the Soviet Union into Afghanistan in 1979 ended in the 9/11 atrocity and the emergence of a fanatical terrorist regime. The abandonment of Iraq helped enormously in the formation of that cult. Because cult it is. And reminds me somewhat of the Cult of the Assassins, and the Old Man of The Mountain. Even Salah al Din fought that vermin. Only with the coming of the Mongols was it exterminated.

    Religion and God are distinct. Religion is only man's attempt to understand, and relate to, an incomprehensible greater reality.
    Like you, I found much to disagree with in "religion". But that doesn't mean it is all wrong.
    I debated once, in my younger days, with a Jesuit priest (it was at a Newman Club meeting in college). My argument was that you could not believe in both free-will and pre-destination. We went at it for about half an hour, until finally he said, it's something you have to accept on faith. Well, it didn't satisfy me. Today, though, I've come to believe it is pre-will and free destination. Ask me about that sometime.
    I thought you probably weren't all that religious.

    It also would be nice if our "elder statesmen" would help Russia in the fight against terrorism, instead of arming terrorist, through what they think are the militant opposition, in Syria. Where do you think those weapons are going to end up? Now there you should have a valid fear.

    The Muslim countries are getting a little tired of Obama's interference in their affairs; instigating revolutions across the Near and Middle East, toppling regimes, leaving Iraq to the dustbin of history. Luckily Syria, with its rightful president, Assad, along with the help of V. Putin, Turkey and Iran may in the near future reach some measure of stability.

    Your first sentence is a weak argument. Check your premises.
    Your second, I agree. I would like to see more (legitimate) Muslims voicing objections and offering aid. But you know, that is changing. Assad is beginning to stabilize Syria, Turkey is entering the fight, Iran is against the terrorists. The Sauds threw Bin Laden out of the country, back in the '70's or '80's. Jordan is moderate, Muslims were dancing with Jews in Bahrain, celebrating Hanukkah with them. You need to view other websites; for instance, try the English RT news feed.

    I am not a fan of any religion actually. There are aspects of most religions that make sense, but the idea of simply believing in what someone else wrote in a book a long time ago is a good way to conduct ones life doesnt appeal to me. I like some of the practicality of the jewish religion, the financial and family aspects of the mormon religion. The intolerance aspects of islam and the mormons as well as the christians doesnt appeal to me much, though.

    Probably won't convince most of those afraid of what they perceive to be consequences of the religion. Fear, (and in this case, it is probably fear of the unknown, in combination with the absolute brutality and savagery of the Islamic State of Nowhere) is a hard habit to overcome.
    But thanks, DOB. I was pretty sure I'd get my clock cleaned for going "against the grain."
