Islam originated in Arabia and was spread by Arabs. It's holy language is Arabic. By all purposes it is an Arab religion in origin.

Christianity is an Arab/Jewish religion. There was no Palestine back then (as in country or peoples).
In fact all 3 are Abrahamic religions - in other words Semitic religions - which is why they are so similar.

They have borrowed many concepts from pre-Abrahamic ancient Semitic religions.

Mongols did a lot of damage no doubt. But in the end we managed to defeat them.
Turkic peoples (real ones from Central Asia/Siberia) came to the Middle East mostly as slaves or mercenaries of Arab empires and caliphates. Hence how the word Mamluk came to be (you can google the meaning of this word).
Arab Christians of today, many of them, are not under the Pope (many famous powerful pre-Islamic Arab kingdoms were Christian - Lakhmids, Ghassanids and others - some of the earliest Popes were also Arab in origin) and have their own much older Christian sects. There are also Assyrians (our cousins and closely related to Arabs - Arabic and Assyrian are similar languages - much like Han dialects) who have their own churches.
A small percentage of Jordanian Christians are Bedouin, the picture shows a Bedouin Christian family from Madaba in 1904

Also due to Arab control of Central Asia. After all the Abbasid Empire fought and won battles against the Tang Dynasty in Central Asia.

Later they became assimilated and Arabized and merged with locals. Arabs started focusing less on the military (after consolidating empires and caliphates) and started their focus on art, science, architecture, literature, poetry etc. Over time Mamluks (mostly Turkic peoples but also Caucasians such as Circassians) gained military power and at one point in time in places like Egypt (Mamluk) established their own rule.
But of course they pioneered Arab Muslim civilization just as the Mongols (Yuan dynasty) did with the Chinese civilizations when they controlled China.
So you cannot tells us whether you are an Egyptian Arab (85 + of the Egyptian population), an Copt (related peoples to Arabs), a Nubian (same thing) or some other more "recent" minority like Albanian etc.?
They were also heavily focusing to defeat China.
The grandson of Genghis Khan and older brother of Kublai Khan, Mongke Khan was killed in a war campaign against China.
Möngke Khan - Wikipedia
He was de facto the last Great Khan still formally controlled the entire Mongol Empire, although already fissured compared to the Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan.
His successor and younger brother Kublai Khan only controlled part of the Mongol Empire.
Temüjin was named after a Turkic person. This is a documented fact.
1. The name “Temüjin” comes from a Turkic man captured by his father
According to the Secret History of the Mongols (the earliest Mongol source):
The Tatars of the 12th century were Turkic-speaking, not Mongolic.
- Temüjin’s father, Yesügei, captured a Tatar warrior named Temüjin.
- The newborn was named after that man.
So Temüjin’s name is literally taken from a Turkic individual.
This is the earliest and most authoritative source on Genghis Khan’s life.
2. The name “Temüjin” itself is built on a Turkic root
The name Temüjin is linguistically connected to the Turkic word:
This is a Turkic word, not originally Mongolic.
- Temür / Demir = iron
- Temürči = blacksmith
- Temürjin / Temüjin = ironworker / son of the blacksmith
Mongolian later borrowed the word (modern Mongolian: tömör = iron).
So both the origin of the name and the linguistic structure are Turkic.
3. The steppe world was Turkic-Mongol mixed
By the 12th century:
So a Turkic name for Temüjin is completely normal for the era.
- Mongols used Turkic titles (Khan, Tarkan, Baghatur, Khatun).
- Mongols used Turkic military terms.
- Mongols used Turkic personal names.
- Many of Genghis Khan’s generals had Turkic names (Jebe, Sübetei, Buka, Qulan, Temür, etc.).
“Genghis Khan” itself is also Turkic in structure
The Mongols adopted the Turkic title Khan centuries before Temüjin.
- Khan = Turkic title
- Chinggis / Cinggis has Turkic parallels (e.g., tengiz = sea, great expanse)
In case you was wondering why Turks are called Mongols by Greeks.
Do you think pyramids were built by arabs? Serious question really.So you cannot tells us whether you are an Egyptian Arab (85 + of the Egyptian population), an Copt (related peoples to Arabs), a Nubian (same thing) or some other more "recent" minority like Albanian etc.?
So why all the absurd nonsense posts about Arabs and many Arab countries? Are you basing your whole viewpoint of entire peoples (nationalities) and countries based on some trolls online?
So if I started to heavily insult Egypt and Egyptians or the opposite you would adjust your opinions based on such behavior.
Have you seen the hordes of uninformed Egyptian trolls on X and elsewhere? Every nationality have them. Should I and other Arabs start hating our own people (Egyptians) due to such individuals?
This is not a kindergarden.
Which lies? Everything that I wrote I have backed up with sources as I wrote. I did not invent anything from thin air. Now there will always be scholarly disagreements but the sources (that I posted) all exist.
I did not write a single thing that cannot be backed up by some source (s).
Honestly I think that you have spent too much time online reading the cesspool that is social media and Arab social media in particular (X is toxic for a reason and nobody is better or worse than the other here - many good users as well but the loud minority creates the agendas and trending topics - many are government founded from both sides).
It is not the real world.
Turks and Mongols were cousins. Same as all the other minorities native to the Arab world (Semitic and non-Semitic) and Arabs. Both influenced each other. Usually that happens when you live next to each other.Temüjin was named after a Turkic person. This is a documented fact.

Most of the dynasties that are claimed as Turkic were in fact originally Mongol but later Turkified.
For examples the Mughals were originally Mongol (Barlas tribe),
Barlas - Wikipedia
same with the Timurids
Timurid dynasty - Wikipedia
and same wit the Golden Horde who were of Mongol origin (descendants of Genghis Khan)
Golden Horde - Wikipedia
They became Turkicized and many of them later adopted Islam due to many Turkic peoples (at that time) being Muslim due to mostly Arab prior conquest of Central Asia and power of Muslim caliphates and kingdoms.
Crimean Khanate also claimed Mongol origin.

huh?
No, I don't. Where did I ever claim that? They were built by Afro-Asiatic speaking ancient Egyptians who were and are closely related (DNA wise) to fellow Afro-Asiatic speaking Arabs and other next door Semitic peoples.
There was no such country called Palestine. They were mostly Nabateans (an Arab people), and other closely Semitic-speaking peoples. Canaanites for instance. Palestine is a historical region but there was never a kingdom, empire or other political entity (back then) called Palestine etc. It was called Sham.huh?
There was no Palestine back then (as in country or peoples).???
Philistines (in English Palestinians , in Arabic falistniyans) were there thousands of years ago , stop posting BS
Here is the documented historical, archaeological, and genetic evidence confirming the presence of the Philistines in the southern coastal region of historical Palestine during the Iron Age (circa 1200 BCE).
Archaeological Evidence
- The Five Pentapolis Cities: Extensive excavations have uncovered their highly developed urban network, consisting of five core cities: Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Ekron (Tel Miqne), and Gath (Tell es-Safi).
- The Ashkelon Philistine Cemetery: Discovered in 2016 by the Leon Levy Expedition, this marks the first-ever complete Philistine cemetery found. It contained over 150 human remains buried alongside perfume jugs, jewelry, and weapons, reflecting unique Aegean burial customs.
- Distinctive Pottery (Philistine Bichrome): Excavations revealed unique two-colored pottery decorated with birds and geometric patterns. This style perfectly matches Mycenaean (ancient Greek) pottery, proving their maritime roots.
- Unique Architecture: Digs at sites like Tel Qasile uncovered Philistine temples featuring architectural layouts entirely different from the surrounding local Canaanite styles of that period.
Ancient Inscriptions and Written Records
- Egyptian Hieroglyphs (Medinet Habu): Pharaoh Ramesses III recorded his victory over the "Sea Peoples" on his mortuary temple walls. The inscriptions explicitly name the "Peleset" (PRST), depicting them in distinct feathered headdresses and kilts.
- Assyrian Royal Annals: Records from Assyrian kings (such as Sargon II and Sennacherib) frequently mention the coastal region as "Palastu" or "Pilistu", documenting the tribute paid by Philistine city-kings.
- The Bible and Ancient Texts: Hebrew scriptures and later Greek histories consistently place the Philistines along the southwestern coast, referring to their territory as Philistia.
Genetic Evidence (DNA)
The distinct political and cultural identity of the Philistines faded after the Babylonian conquests by Nebuchadnezzar II in the 6th century BCE. However, their name endured when Greek and Roman historians later applied it to the broader geographic region, calling it Palestine.
- 2019 Archaeogenetic Study: A landmark DNA study published in Science Advances analyzed skeletal remains from the Ashkelon cemetery. The results proved that the early Iron Age Philistines carried a distinct Southern European (Aegean/Cretan) genetic signature. Over the centuries, this signature blended into the local Canaanite gene pool.
