Muslims very often mention the Crusades as justification for all kinds of anti western activities so why isn't turnabout fair play? |
:rotfl: Which race or country don't cry about history when things have gone wrong for an entire people? :hmm: Lets see
Anyhow as a practicing Atheist (yes I am Heathen), I couldn't really give a crap about your religion. If you want to play 'religious wars' (the biggest fairytale is religion) go frig off to another planet (make sure it is inhospitable) cause your hatred passes to the next generation.
And AVON LADY, I ain't anti-semite either......I hate religion full stop!! For religion brands people, and 'normal' people have the same beliefs. And actually since that night
, been doing abit of reserach and watching programs about Israel (am I getting ill
) . 'The Two Caves' I think the story is called, where the Romans built a fort on a cliff and waited for the few remaining Judeans who had escaped from the smashing of the great temple and fortress of Judea. (see the Jews always causing troubles, caused another revolt :P ). Anyhow I learnt that land should be actually name Judea, not Palestine, Palestine is basically from when the ROmans smashed the lands and drove the Jewish peoples away.
