    He is buried in Lod (modern day Israel).

    Ah the good old crusades where you could massacre whole villages of darkies in the name of the one true God.

    I thought he was greek. Our country is built on and by Greeks, Romans, Iraqis, Norwegians, Germans, French, Danes, Indians, Arabs, Israelis. But say one good thing about an immigrant and youre a loony lefty/tinfoil hat brigade

    I thought it was China, Russia and Saudi Arabia that owned all the buildings now?

    I knew about the Romans, Normans and Vikings but not sure where the rest come in. If you mean built as in the infrastructure, you could add the Irish and Americans to that. Can you give us a brief summary of how the Greeks, Iraqi, Israeli, Arabs, Germans and Indians built this country? Genuinely interested.

    India, provided major funding for the empire.
    Saxons were from Germany
    Iraq and Isael (Palestine) were once part of British Protectorates. We didn't govern them for altruistic purposes. That pretty much covers some Arabs too. You could throw Aden into the mix as well.
    The Greeks...well you have a point there.

    Lord Byron famously said "We are all Greeks" in recognition of the fact that they advanced the world so much.

    You mean the Winston Churchill who's response to the 1943 Bengali famine was to say 'I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion. The famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits.'
