Ergo is quite a comedian He presents the Middle east as if it were virtually ALL MUSLIM FOR ALL TIME somehow he forgot that lots and lots of peoples were genocided ALMOST out of existence in the GLORIOUS AGE OF ISLAMIC CONQUEST
My own son --who had his very early schooling in jewish religious schools did notice ---when he attended a special high school ---attended by lots of the children of UN diplomats ----ie VERY CULTURALLY DIVERSE ----he said "ma, jews see history as the last 6000 years, christians -----as the last 2000 years and for muslims history is not much more than the past 1000 years IT STARTS WITH MUHUMMAD.
Ergo starts his understanding of history-----some time around 1920 and sees the middle east as MUSLIM LAND which---btw is the perception of muslims I have encountered over the past 50 years -----most of whom were not actually MIDDLE EASTERN MUSLIMS-----the further away they were from the middle east----the MORE REVISIONIST is the history they seem to have learned
for the most revised history ----talk to a muslim from south east Asia ------whose understanding of south east asia BEGINS with the creation thereof by a MOGHUL EMPEROR-----who also invented CHAPPATTIS and DHAL ----inspired by the genius of Muhummad who got it from the angel gabriel
