This is a video of a very interesting and worth watching interview of the amazing Nassim Nicholas Taleb (who needs no introduction) and Gad Saad

Here is the video

Taleb believes that what he calls: "minority rule" is how Islam became the dominant religion in Egypt. A Muslim marries a Christian but once it happens there is no going back. Christians lost one member of their religion and they don't regard it a "big deal." However, it might take hundreds of years but in due time Muslims become the majority and Christians the minority! And once the majority become Muslims Arabization was not far behind.

Another example is halal food. What is the big deal if a fast food chain offers only halal food as part of let us say virtue signaling or for what ever pure business reason. However, in due time all available food will halal. It is hard to believe but it makes lots of sense

However, this "minority rule" could very well explain the Islamization of Iran but it does not explain the fact that Arabization failed in Iran

Fascinating video
