Question: What is something inconsistent in the Jewish population of the country known for its Muslims and people who attempted a large-scale effort at translation?

The Arabs undertook large-scale efforts at translation. Having conquered the Greek world, they made Arabic versions of its philosophical and scientific works. During the Middle Ages, translations of some of these Arabic versions were made into Latin, chiefly at Córdoba in Spain. King Alfonso X el Sabio (Alphonse the Wise) of Castille in the 13th century promoted this effort by founding a Schola Traductorum (School of Translation) in Toledo. There Arabic texts, Hebrew texts, and Latin texts were translated into the other tongues by Muslim, Jewish and Christian scholars, who also argued the merits of their respective religions. Latin translations of Greek and original Arab works of scholarship and science helped advance European Scholasticism, and thus European science and culture. <SEP> In Syria, Jews of both origins, numbering altogether fewer than 3,000 in 1987, are found. After a mass emigration in 1992, today fewer than 200 Jews live in Syria, mostly in the capital. In Syria, as elsewhere, the degree to which Jews submit to the disciplines of their religion varies. Syrian Jews are Arabic-speaking and barely distinguishable from the Arabs around them. <SEP> Most Kurds (8.5%) and most Turkoman (3%) are Sunni and account for the difference between Sunnis and Sunni Arabs, while 13% of Syrians are Shia Muslims (particularly Alawite, Twelvers, and Ismailis but there are also Arabs, Kurds and Turkoman), 10% Christian (the majority are Antiochian Greek Orthodox, the rest are Syrian Orthodox, Greek Catholic and other Catholic Rites, Assyrian Church of the East, Armenian Orthodox, Protestants and other denominations), and 3% Druze. Druze number around 500,000, and concentrate mainly in the southern area of Jabal al-Druze.President Bashar al-Assad's family is Alawite and Alawites dominate the government of Syria and hold key military positions. Sunni Muslims make up between 69–74% of Syria's population and Sunni Arabs account for 59–60% of the population. In May 2013, SOHR stated that out of 94,000 killed during the Syrian Civil War, at least 41,000 were Alawites.Christians (2.5 million), a sizable number of whom are found among Syria's population of Palestinian refugees, are divided into several sects: Chalcedonian Antiochian Orthodox make up 45.7% of the Christian population; the Catholics (Melkite, Armenian Catholic, Syriac Catholic, Maronite, Chaldean Catholic and Latin) make up 16.2%; the Armenian Apostolic Church 10.9%, the Syriac Orthodox make up 22.4%; Assyrian Church of the East and several smaller Christian denominations account for the remainder. Many Christian monasteries also exist. Many Christian Syrians belong to a high socio-economic class. <SEP> during the siege of jerusalem by the first crusade in 1099, the jewish inhabitants of the city fought side by side with the fatimid garrison and the muslim population who tried in vain to defend the city against the crusaders. when the city fell, about 60,000 people were massacred, including 6,000 jews seeking refuge in a synagogue. at this time, a full thousand years after the fall of the jewish state, there were jewish communities all over the country. fifty of them are known and include jerusalem, tiberias, ramleh, ashkelon, caesarea, and gaza. according to albert of aachen, the jewish residents of haifa were the main fighting force of the city, and "mixed with saracen [fatimid] troops", they fought bravely for close to a month until forced into retreat by the crusader fleet and land army. however, joshua prawer expressed doubt over the story, noting that albert did not attend the crusades and that such a prominent role for the jews is not mentioned by any other source. [undue weight? – discuss] <SEP> in asia, the spread of buddhism led to large-scale ongoing translation efforts spanning well over a thousand years. the tangut empire was especially efficient in such efforts; exploiting the then newly invented block printing, and with the full support of the government (contemporary sources describe the emperor and his mother personally contributing to the translation effort, alongside sages of various nationalities), the tanguts took mere decades to translate volumes that had taken the chinese centuries to render.
