History does not end, it leads to the future.
If proof is sought that nothing in life is
simple and the past is the gateway to the
morrow there is a lesson to be learned that
those of limited curiosity bypass. History
begins when a sense of inflated importance
in self is affronted by refusal for there are those
convinced their mission is sacred and must be
venerated even by those who express doubt
and dismissal. Such occurred in Medina when
Judaean tribes clung to their belief eschewing
Islam, a wan version of Judaism, suffering
death or exile and slavery for their resolution.
The Arabian desert was wracked with conflict
between claimants, the House of Saud and
that of the Hashemite Kingdom. Hostilities
reduced to a simmer by colonial intervention
solving the critical issue of territory, yet no
solution to Islam's pique at the resurgence of
ancient Judaea in the present Israel with all
antagonists within the history that foreordained
an endless conflict with the ancient people
reliving their history in denial of surrender.
