But who were the speakers of this ancient language? Linguistic detective work offers someclues: you can deduce a people’s history from the words they use. Study of some fifty ancient vocabularies has led to areconstruction of the lifestyle of the first Indo-Europeans, a vanished people. From the words they used, it seems likelythat they lived a half-settled, half-nomadic existence. They worshipped gods who are clear ancestors of Indian,Mediterranean, and Celtic deities. However, exactly who the original Indo-Europeans were and when they lived remain ahotly debated mystery. According to an early theory, they lived in Mesopotamia, but this idea was exploded bynineteenth-century archaeology. Today, some argue for the Krugan culture of the Russian steppes, others for the farmingculture of the Danube valley. The most widely accepted theory locates the Indo-Europeans in a cold, northern climatewhere common words for snow and wolf were important. None of these prehistoric languages had a word for the sea.From this, and from our knowledge of nature, it is clear that the Indo-Europeans must have lived somewhere in northerncentral Europe.

Assaulted from all quarters, theMuslim world turned in on itself. Henceforth modernism became alien. Should cultural and religious identity beaffirmed by rejecting this modernism, which the West symbolized? Or, on the contrary, should the road ofmodernization be embarked upon with resolution, thus risking loss of identity? Neither Iran, nor Turkey, nor theArab world has ever succeeded in resolving this dilemma. Even today we can observe a lurching alternationbetween phases of forced westernization and phases of extremist, strongly xenophobic traditionalism.The Arab world—simultaneously fascinated and terrified by these Franj [Franks], whom they encountered asbarbarians, but whom subsequently managed to dominate the earth—cannot bring itself to consider the crusades amere episode in the bygone past. It is often surprising to discover the extent to which the attitude of the Arabs (andof Muslims in general) towards the West is still influenced, even today, by events that supposedly ended someseven centuries ago.
