Rant of a linguist

First, the Germanic tribes were suddenly all Celts.

For me, what counts is the language people speak, as evidenced by old place names if we're talking historic tribes. What's so difficult about all this?

By the way: Farsi (=Persian) is an Indo-European language. Persians (and Kurds, the former Medes), are not Arabs. The languages aren't even structurally related.-

What century does that pope LIVE in??

Inner!Urq thinks that another crusade to 'save' the Holy Land for Christianity would be a really, really bad idea...
