Comments by "Sandy Tatham" (@sandytatham3592) on "Astrology in the early Islamicate World" video.
"Islamicate" is a relatively new invented word to mean that these practices are not directly connected to Islam, but they are found to exist in an environment dominated by Islamic culture and rule... just in case some Muslims are offended (my guess).

Relax. He's used the made-up word "Islamicate" in the video's title so you don't need to feel that he's judging all Muslims. It includes others (non-Muslims) who live in an Islamic-dominated culture and who are carrying out these 'haram' practices.

Why do we need these made-up words "Islamicate" and "Islamophobia"? Is there an equivalent in the Christian, Buddhist, Hindu or Jewish worlds? Is it because Muslims get hurt so easily that we need to discuss their ideology with a very 'soft' touch?

@AboutThings_byTarif : I also think it's odd. If this related to practices in a Christian culture, they would say in the "Christian world" or "Christendom". Why not just say "Islamic world" instead of using the invented word "Islamicate"?
