And maybe that's the problem:hmm:

Yes, the problem is indeed that you can't see the difference.

No, the problem is that there IS no difference. You're all quoting stuff that "happened" thousands of years ago to justify your hate, Just like the fundamentalists of today.

Untill the world grows up and learns from its past we are all doomed to keep repeating it

So you're saying that all the CURRENT DAY Islamic attacks against the non-Islamic world have nothing to do with the 1400 year old book?

Uh huh.

No I'm not DUH!

I'm saying that you lot are exactly the same, both justifying your hate with stuff that "happened" thousands of years ago

Do pay attention 007:D

I truly don't think you don't catch on. No one here hates anyone for any event that took place 1400 years ago. That was water under the bridge way back when.

Try something more recent, like today, yesterday, the day before, last week, last month, last year, the past several years, past decades, even centuries.

Robbo, is Hirsi Ali also a xenophobe?

lol

this thread tickled my funny-bone ;)

I have a more insulting idea than dipping bullets in spam -

Chop off the right hands of the bad guys and let them live with having to eat with the same hand they wipe their bottom with.

Come to think of it, how does Abu Hamza manage this? Last I heard there was going to be some special dude employed in his prison to help him out with his ablutions... hows that for respect in the nick? Get some biatch to wipe your backside for you lol Prisoner Cell Block H was so far behind the times back then :lol::lol:


Hehe, three pages of discussion over a U-tube (or whatever) movie :up: (where is the popcorn eating smilie when I need it?)

Is that first enough for you?

I'll just copy and paste what I had to write to another history revisionist poster here about a month or 2 ago:
Quote:

Why the Crusades Were Called

The Crusaders' sack of Jerusalem in 1099, according to journalist Amin Maalouf in The Crusades Through Arab Eyes, was the "starting point of a millennial hostility between Islam and the West." Islamic scholar and apologist John Esposito is a bit more expansive - he blames the Crusades ("so-called holy warriors") in general for disrupting a pluralistic civilization: "Five centuries of peaceful coexistence elapsed before political events and an imperial-papal power play led to centuries-long series of so-called holy wars that pitted Christendom against Islam and left an enduring legacy of misunderstanding and distrust."

Maalouf doesn't seem to consider whether "millennial hostility" may have begun with the Prophet Muhammad's veiled threat, issued over 450 years before the Crusaders entered Jerusalem, to neighboring non-Muslim leaders to "embrace Islam and you will be safe." Nor does he discuss the possibility that Muslims may have stoked that "millennial hostility" by seizing Christian lands - which amounted to two-thirds of what had formerly been the Christian world - centuries before the Crusades. Esposito's "five centuries of peaceful coexistence" were exemplified, he says, by the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem in 638: "churches and the Christian population were left unmolested." But he doesn't mention Sophronius' Christmas sermon for 634, when he complained of the Muslims' "savage barbarous and bloody sword" and of how difficult that sword had made life for Christians.


PC Myth: The Crusades were an unprovoked attack by Europe against the Islamic world

Wrong. The conquest of Jerusalem in 638 stood at the beginning of centuries of Muslim aggression, and Christians in the Holy Land faced an escalating spiral of persecution. A few examples: Early in the eighth century, sixty pilgrims from Amorium were crucified; around the same time, the Muslim governor of Caesarea seized a group of pilgrims from Iconium and had them all executed as spies - except for a small number who converted to Islam; and Muslims demanded money from pilgrims, threatening to ransack the Church of the Resurrection if they didn't pay. Later in the eighth century, a Muslim ruler banned displays of the cross in Jerusalem. He also increased the anti-religious tax (jizya) that Christians had to pay and forbade Christians to engage in religious instruction of others, even their own children.

Brutal subordination and violence became the rules of the day for Christians in the Holy Land. In 772, the caliph al-Mansur ordered the hands of Christians and Jews to be stamped with a distinctive symbol. Conversions to Christianity were dealt with particularly harshly. In 789, Muslims beheaded a monk who had converted from Islam and plundered the Bethlehem monastery of Saint Theodosius, killing many more monks. Other monasteries in the region suffered the same fate. Early in the ninth century, the persecutions grew so severe that large numbers of Christians fled to Constantinople and other Christian cities. More persecutions in 923 saw additional churches destroyed, and in 937, Muslims went on a Palm Sunday rampage in Jerusalem, plundering and destroying the Church of Calvary and the Church of the Resurrection.

In reaction to this persecution of Christians, the Byzantines moved from a defensive policy toward the Muslims to the offensive position of trying to recapture some of their lost territories. In the 960s, General Nicephorus Phocas (a future Byzantine emperor) carried out a series of successful campaigns against the Muslims, recapturing Crete, Cilicia, Cyprus, and even parts of Syria. In 969, he recaptured the ancient Christian city of Antioch. The Byzantines extended this campaign into Syria in the 970s.

In Islamic theology, if any land has ever belonged to the House of Islam, it belongs forever - and Muslims must wage war to regain control over it. In 974, faced with a string of loses to the Byzantines, the Abbasid (Sunni) caliph in Baghdad declared jihad. This followed the yearly jihad campaigns against the Byzantines launched by Saif al-Dawla, ruler of the Shi'ite Hamdanid dynasty in Aleppo from 944 to 967. Saif al-Dawla appealed to Muslims to fight the Byzantines on the pretext that they were taking lands that belonged to the House of Islam. This appeal was so successful that Muslim warriors from as far off as Central Asia joined the jihads.

However, Sunni/Shi'ite disunity ultimately hampered Islamic jihad efforts, and in 1001 the Byzantine emperor Basil II concluded a ten-year truce with the Fatimid (Shi'ite) caliph.

Basil, however, soon learned that to conclude such truces was futile. In 1004, the sixth Fatimid caliph, Abu 'Ali al-Mansur al-hakim (985-1021), turned violently against the faith of his Christian mother and uncles (two of whom were patriarchs), ordering the destruction of churches, the burning of crosses, and the seizure of church property. He moved against the Jews with similar ferocity. Over the next ten years, thirty thousand churches were destroyed, and untold numbers of Christians converted to Islam simply to save their lives. In 1009, al-Hakim gave his most spectacular anti-Christian order: He commanded that the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem be destroyed, along with several other churches (including the Church of the Resurrection). The Church of the Holy Sepulcher, rebuilt by the Byzantines in the seventh century after the Persians burned and earlier version, marks the traditional site of Christ's burial; it also served as a model for the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Al-Hakim commanded that the tomb within be cut down to the bedrock. He ordered Christians to wear heavy crosses around their necks (and for Jews, heavy blocks of wood in the shape of a calf). He piled on other humiliating decrees, culminating in the order that they accept Islam of leave his dominions.

The erratic caliph ultimately relaxed his persecution of non-muslims and even returned much of the property he has seized from the Church. A partial cause of al-Hakim's changed attitude was probably in increasingly tenuous connection to Islamic orthodoxy. In 1021, he disappeared under mysterious circumstances; some of his followers proclaimed him divine and found a sect based on this mystery and other esoteric teachings of a Muslim cleric, Muhammad ibn Isma'il al-Darazi (after whom the Druze sect is named). Thanks to al-Hakim's change of policy, which continued after his death, the Byzantines were allowed to rebuild the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in 1027.

Nevertheless, Christians were in a precarious position, and pilgrims remained under threat. In 1056 the Muslims expelled three hundred Christians from Jerusalem and forbade European Christians from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. When the fierce and fanatical Seljuk Turks swept down from Central Asia, they enforced a new Islamic rigor, making life increasingly difficult for both native Christians and pilgrims (whose pilgrimages they blocked). After they crushed the Byzantines at Manzikert in 1071 and took the Byzantine emperor Romanus IV Diogenes prisoner, all of Asia Minor was open to them, and their advance was virtually unstoppable. In 1076, they conquered Syria; in 1077, Jerusalem. The Seljuk emir Atsiz bib Uwaq promised not to harm the inhabitants of Jerusalem, but once his men had entered the city, they murdered three thousand people. The Seljuks established the sultanate of Rum (Rome, referring to the New Rome, Constantinople) in Nicaea that same years, perilously close to Constantinople itself; from there they continued to threaten the Byzantines and harass the Christians all over their new domains.

The Christian empire of Byzantium, which before Islam's wars of conquest had ruled over a vast expanse including southern Italy, North Africa, the Middle East, and Arabia, was reduced to little more than Greece. It looked as if death at the hands of the Seljuks was imminent. The Church of Constantinople considered the popes schismatic and had squabbled with them for centuries, but the new emperor Alexius I Commenus (1081-1118), swallowed his pride and appealed for help. And that is how the First Crusade came about: It was a response to the Byzantine Emperor's call for help.

Honestly, I only hate people who wish to control my way of life I have grown accustom to.

Now if it occurred 6000 years or just a few minutes ago...does not matter... the fact remains.

If you wish to discount the Bible as historic proof... because of "whatever"...:roll:

Your reply is historically extremely inaccurate. There were no such things as Muslims or Islam before some 1400 years ago. Had you asked Haggar and Yishmael if they were Muslims, they would have responded "whah?" (pronounce like Tim Allen responding to Wilson in "Home Improvement"). It is only Islam that claims its own 6th century invention goes back to Adam and Eve (double "whah?"). So unless you're a Muslim, Hagar and Islam have nothing to do with each other. Besides, Islam claims Abraham was a good Muslim, too ("whah?"), and you'll never see Islam hating in any which way patriarch Ibrahim - nosiree! :nope:

In addition, historically, there was a tremendous amount of population mixes 2500 years ago in the entire region, courtesy of the Babylonians. Claiming that Arabs are purebred descendents of Yishmael is simply false.

I do not have the time right now to search for where I saw this discussed on Islamic sites quite some time ago.

While there are many incidents of Muslims becoming very agitated by live pigs or pig figures, you'll find no lack of fatwas saying that lives pigs are simply another one of G-d's creations and there's nothing wrong with petting or holding them at the zoo or farm.

Come to think of it, I'm surprised that didn't happen when the British East India Company's army used pork fat bullets.
At first it happened by accident there, but when someone pointed out that pork fat was used to grease the bullets the EIC's army publicised it for a bit to try and reduce the rebellion's moral, until they realised it was a very bad idea!

I do not have the time right now to search for where I saw this discussed on Islamic sites quite some time ago.

Basic taqiyya 101. To further jihad and spread the power of the clergy, they can eat pig, screw prostitutes, get completely pissed down at the local boozer. Just so long as when the ganglord attacks, that mujahid has already cut the telephone wires and killed the gate guard.

That's totally in the quran. I don't know where. I always just assume 7 or 9 until shown otherwise. Here's a similar one I googled.
Qur'an:4:94 "Believers, when you go abroad to fight wars in Allah's Cause, investigate carefully, and say not to anyone who greets you: ‘You are not a believer!' Coveting the chance profits of this life (so that you may despoil him). With Allah are plenteous spoils and booty."

For mujahideen in the land of Dar al-Harb, anything goes. Yay for despoiling!

However, I support anything that fractures islam along clan and sect lines. Pig bullets sounds like it would just that purpose for a short time before all the ayatollahs got word out to all the clan imams what the new party line was.

I'll stick on facts. It would be probably very interesting to join the discussion, but I'm affraid it's not possible because of my too poor English. There is enough misunerstanding in this thread, I'm not going to add language issues as another source of it.

But I''ve read whole the thread and found many bull**ts (pig**ts?) here.

Arabia had none superiority over anyone before Muhammad appeared. They were a big bunch of tribes fighting each other, hearding their camels, enjoying sunny weather, worshipping stones and mountains and writing unbelievably good poetry. In the Medieval 'Arabia', as you call it, id est the Arab-Muslim Empire (as historians call it nowadays), however they reached an extremely high level of civilisation (under Islamic rule, take a note): literature, social and healthcare, medicine, philosophy, mathematics and so on. Much higher than in Europe. There are uncountable reasons of fall down of the Empire, as usually. One of them is time (no empire lasts forever), devastating Mongol invasions, alienation of the rulers etc. etc. But all the best achievements of Arab-Muslim civilisation (BUT poetry) were gained only after Muhammad founded Islam.

Probably for the same reasons, as Moses, Jozue and Israelites (you can found the story in the Bible), who murdered whole cities and wiped quite a few civilisations. :) Religion is a strange thing, man, and takes one's reason away...

Take a note: Muhammad is NOT treated as a 'holy man' in Islam, it would be a heresy to call him that. Learn more about Islam, it's always good to know more than know less, even if Islam is your enemy.

Also refrain from using the term "Muhammedans", which is highly offensive to Muslims, as they don't worship Muhammad, but the God, Allah.

Islam is like any other religion or ideology. It evolves. Christianism had to go through its 2k years history full of blood, hatred and suffering before it became a (quite) peacefull religion. Even Bhuddism has blood on its hands. As almost every ideology does. But that doesn't mean that "Islam is evil". If it's so, that means any human ideology or thought is evil. Democracy is evil too, as thousands of people die now in Iraq, because Americans want to plant it on Iraqi ground with their military power.

Never forget, that there are hundreds of millions muslims in the world. And the so called Al-Qaida is run probably by no more than like 1k men, if that many. Whole the rest of the Muslims wish rather to stay home, live their own lives, earn money, grow children, watch TV and play computer games. The fundamentalists are dangerous regardless of their religion or ideology. Are they communists, Islamic, Jewish or Christian fanatics, nazis or greens...

When you discuss the reasons of the actual terrorist issue, never forget King David Hotel in Jerusalem. NEVER forget that. Islam is not the very origin of the terror. The Palestine is. If not the Palestine problem, there would not be any Hamas, Hizbullah, PLO, IJ. And in the Palestinian conflict neither side is clean, nor the international community is. There is no black and white, there are only flavours of grey, my friends.

That's not true. Islam doesn't refer to any of the 'patriarches' as "Muslim". They were "righteous worshippers of the [one] God", no more, no less. Abraham, Moses, Jesus and so on were NOT Muslims, as one could become Muslim only after foundation of Islam itself.

Same applies to any 'nation'. In these times there was not such a name as "Arab", nor was it one people, nation or anything. Various tribes dwelled in the Arabian peninsula, speaking different languages, with different cultures. The same applies to Israelites - you can't say they were "sons of Abraham and Sarah", as historians seem to prove that they were a union of some semitic tribes (related extremely closely the what we call 'Arabic tribes').

The Peninsula was never under Babylonian rule, by the way.


PS To the guys who have "Lan astaslam" (لن أستسلم) phrase in their sig: you are using a wrong word. The verb 'astaslama' means "to surrender, to capitulate", but has no connection to Islam. Other word derivated from this verb are: 'istislam' - 'capitulation'; 'istislami' - 'capitulant [the one who capitulates']. If you'd like to express surrending AND taking Islam, you should use other verb, the very one that word 'Islam' comes from: 'aslama' (to submit, to take Islam). Words 'Islam', 'Muslim', 'Islami' all come from the verb 'aslama' (NOT 'astaslama'). So, if you want to express the idea of 'not surrending to Islam', you should use the correct phrase: Lan aslam (لن أسلم). :rotfl:

And remember to shoot you propaganda guy. He hasn't done well.

"And all the kings of Arabia (Hebrew: "Malchei Arav") and all the kings of the allies who dwell in the desert."
- Jeremiah, 25:24

This was precisely at the time of Babylonian rule. There is also a reference to Arabian kings in Kings I, 10:15. As implied, there were numerous such kings, inidcating seemingly tribal kingdoms, quite common at the time.

The same applies to Israelites - you can't say they were "sons of Abraham and Sarah", as historians seem to prove that they were a union of some semitic tribes (related extremely closely the what we call 'Arabic tribes').
Very misleading. Jew law is very specific what qualifies a person as being either Jewish by birth or by conversion. However, even at the exodus from Egypt the Torah mentions a "mixed multitude" (Hebrew: "eirev rav") of converts who joined the exodus. These were Egyptians and other "foreign nationals" who joined the Israelites, with the begrudging approval of Moses but not of G-d's, with disasterous consequences from that point in Jewish history onward.

The Peninsula was never under Babylonian rule, by the way.
Tons of refugees fled Egypt and Mesepotamia to the Arabian peninsula and Babylonian king Nabonidus went on a campaign against Arabia around 550BCE and settled there for the remainder of his life. BTW, Nabonidus' son was the biblicall famous Belshazzar, who couldn't read the writing on the wall. ;)

PS To the guys who have "Lan astaslam" (لن أستسلم) phrase in their sig: you are using a wrong word. The verb 'astaslama' means "to surrender, to capitulate", but has no connection to Islam.
Not directly. At least I know that. The point of the signature is that we will not tolerate Islam's intended subjugation of us non-Islamic infidels. A clear and elementary message.

Other word derivated from this verb are: 'istislam' - 'capitulation'; 'istislami' - 'capitulant [the one who capitulates']. If you'd like to express surrending AND taking Islam, you should use other verb, the very one that word 'Islam' comes from: 'aslama' (to submit, to take Islam). Words 'Islam', 'Muslim', 'Islami' all come from the verb 'aslama' (NOT 'astaslama'). So, if you want to express the idea of 'not surrending to Islam', you should use the correct phrase: Lan aslam (لن أسلم). :rotfl:
Sound right either way.

On the contrary!
