The Outsiders

Umberto Eco in his novel, The Cemetery of Prague, base on the Russian Czar secret police effort to discrete the Jews using Antisemitic propaganda  in 1903 publications The Protocols of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of Zion, Michelis say was after the Russian Zionist meeting of 1902. The publisher Pavel Aleksandrovich Krushevan try to obscure by introducing French and lie about the origins, the motivation is found early in the work of Frederick Millingen, The Conquest of the World by the Jews and by the work Hippolytus Lutostansky a former Roman Catholic priest from polish extraction, some of the source Theodor Herzl work Der Judenstaa,  The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu, political satire written (1864) by Maurice Joly and the chapter of the Antisemitic novel Biarritz 1868, by Hermann Ottomar Friedrich Goedsche translated in Russian 1872, the treat was the Russian policy of Rusification  did not work with Jews, even today Putin and Russia, still are trying Rusification by offering the old Soviet Jewish Nation by the border with China, and new holiday, the day of salvation when the the Soviet Army enter the extermination camps, what we do not forget the early purges of Stalin against the Jews ended with assassination of Trotsky, the expulsion of the Jews from Estonia to Siberia or Stalin before his death began preparation for Purges of Jews from the Soviet Union. What is significant the Jews settle in Prague in the 10 Century by the 18 century the Jews were 1/4 for the population, the reason for Prague is the story of the Golen (the word mean raw material), in the Talmud as mention Sanhedrin 38b, Adam was created as a Golen and 65b mention Raba created a man send to Rav Zeira. Rav Zeira spoke to him, but he did not answer. Rav Zeira said: You were created by the sages; return to your dust, possible because the word EMET (Truth) written in the forehead by arising the a word, saying MET(death). The description of the record of story of the Golen related to Elijah Ba'al Shem of Chełm in 1500´s
According to the tradition using the 72 name of Gd and needed 4 people in the time, each of them give a piece of their soul to bring alive, specific is mention in the book of creation.

Judah Loew ben Bezalel, Golen took place in period when Antisemitism was prevail in Prague at the time of  Rudolf II, to defend the Ghetto Joseph the Golen was crated, the story took significance outside world, specially the political and economy freedom the Jews from Prague had, under reins of Maximilian II and Rudolf II especially they had their own flag (Red with a Yellow Magen David)  all this ended under Maria Theresa. The Antisemitic view of the Jews being fable and not having inner strength to defend their selves, for that reason many antisemitic text to challenge the narrative of self confident, independent Jewish identity.

During the German Nazi occupation some of the Jewish cemetery was used as target practice, but  Hitler ordered that this cemetery be saved to serve as part of a museum after all the Jews had been extinguished.

Hitler plan include to used Prague Synagogues is part of the Museum one of the the Sephardi Synagogue.

Islamic Empire

Empires decline due to their own weight, but depended allot in the foundations. The British Empire was a mercantile Empire, the main drive was trade and raw materials, British Empire control India population with 100 Million in 1600´s, in their high 285 Million in  1881 with only 100,000 permanent  bureaucracy and second are Empire founded in conquest, here in holding have different foundation, Rome as Empire of conquest hold to last with Byzantium, but this conquest were dynamic, the produce intellectual, but physical outcomes, because in the case of Rome a Pagan Society and even with Christianity become the Religion of the Empire an intellectual expression along the religious frame was encourage for the few, where Islamic Empire self-disintegrate take a period, which couple with the conquest society, but where the Christians due to their fragmentation gave some room for alternative.

Islam holds Spain after the conquest closed to 900 years, where the original invasion by Umayyad conquest of Hispania extending from 711 to 788 and internal disintegration started in 11 century, with zealotry, in part Umayyad dynasty in Shia point view sympathetic (since—the fact that the grand sons of Uthman, Zaid bin amr bin uthman bin affan and Abdullah bin Amr bin Uthman got married to the Sukaina and Fatima the daughters of Hussein son of Ali to show closeness of Banu hashem and Bani Ummayah), where the Sunni hostility reduce the Islamic revival in peninsula to nihilistic spiral, when Christians Reconquista of the peninsula, the Kingdom of Granada ask for help to the Ottomans to use the Pirates from Algeria and Tunis to pressure the Christians, Ottomans close door to any help. Where Ottomans in failure to capture Vienna twice (1485 and 1529), by the begin of the 20 Century, despite of the Prussian/German Kaiser to developed Ottomans, to  counter weight  the Imperial France and British Empire. The Ottomans have absorbed the knowledge of their subjugated Christians (the Ottoman law is just a copy of the Byzantium law), due to the Islamic law lethargy, could not developed technology or Science, moreover, the Empire could not absorbed new ideas from the conquest, and their failure to make inroads to Europe stop in his  own Lethargy.
