Nearby topic cluster: Khazars, Judaism, Abbasids, Monotheism, Identity. ## Extracted Topic Notes - diagnosis: Using Koestler, he argues that Khazaria adopted Judaism because Christianity or Islam would have subordinated it to Byzantium or the Abbasid Caliphate, while Judaism offered neutral monotheistic authority.
