Can you source this, this seems very high, the only Arabic countries where there is a big number of Christians is in Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine. Egypt, too, but it's very small proportionally in Egypt.


What? Any sources for this? It looks like you're conflating the concept of statistical significance (alpha values) with human perceptions of populations.


It seems the number is actually closer to 5%, as I apparently had some number from before the recent mess which has caused a significant number of christians to leave the area:

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-11509256

The thing is, it doesn't even have one-in-five prevalence at 10%, and 10% is where I (and psychologically, humans) cut off for significance, generally. In statist, it's generally 5%, but depends on settings. Anyhow, the point is, that these minorities don't really make it ified, they're too small to.


When you're talking about such a huge sample size, percentages don't even really matter that much; We are talking about 40+ million people here.

What is annoying to me, is to see these blatantly wrong words being wielded, when there's such an obvious alternative word - anti-Jew or anti-Israelite. And it is like you say - it helps to communicate to wield the right words.


It only helps to communicate if both people are in agreement that the term is wrong; IE, it would probably make things smoother communicating between me and you. In a lot of cases however, I'd even say the vast majority, it just sounds awkward.

They didn't come from fundamentalists, but they came from Christian thinkers who ignored bits of the Book to become un-Christianly tolerant.


Christian theology its self is pretty tolerant of other religions; In fact, it even allows for interfaith marriage:


1 Corinthians 7:12-14

12 To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 13 And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, she must not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy.

Anti + Semitic, means you're against Semtic folk: Arabs of all kinds, Israelites, Amhars, and more. It's just fully insensible to do such a thing, and it is a duty of those who speak English to never abuse a word to this extent. A majority can be wrong.

So I shouldn't say that Xapy is nitpicking because he is not literally pulling nits out of anyone's hair. Nor should I say he's being dense because his mass per volume is not increasing.

Those are figurative words - I do not nitpick for those, but saying "Xapy is only pointing out biggest things" (when you mean nitpicking) or saying I'm hollow, this's ridiculous.
