Comment your questions for Barry below.
How is it that both Christianity and Islam recognize that Jews were given the land of Israel by God, but then deny their indigenous claims?
To what extent did demographic shifts particularly the influx and integration of peoples from conquered territories contribute to the weakening or eventual collapse of the Roman Empire and is there a parallel in todays mass migration with the lack of assimilation.
