The Crucible Forges the Future

 

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.
