People actually believe this crap?

So just to stay on topic, it might well be a conspiracy by the whole western world to keep writing "allah" among otherwise fully translated texts, only to make it sound strange to us. I mean it's like if they translated an article in arabic and kept the word "shoebox" untranslated, why ? :p

Good information. I'm not religious, I'm too smart for that. It is funny seeing people aregue over who the invisible wizard in the sky favors.

I'm going to go put on a fire suit now after that comment, I'll need it.

If you are serious, well Stalin would completely agree with you.

This is why I love America. I can say Putin is a sociopath who should be shot, Bush needs to be confined to his farm and the Queen gets it on with horses. Oh yeah and Allah is the creation of a pedophile nomad. I can go to sleep tonight knowing no one will break my door down for saying these things on the internets. :p

Oh sure, people should have every right to deny the existence of the Holocaust and form organizations about it just as they should be able to declare 9/11 a hoax that never happened and create websites about it.

You know that when you say stuff like "Bush should be shot!" on the telephone or Internet, it's tracked right? Nixon's wiretapping program during the '70s did essentially the same thing, the only difference being that you can do it with no problem when it comes to the Internet or a cell phone. It's a capital offense to say you'll shoot the president...

Oh, and Mikhayl is right. "Allah" is just the Arabic translation for "God". For instance, "Allahu Akbar!" means "God is Great". "Alaykum as-Salaam" is a general farewell statement that pretty much all Middle-Easterners use ("Peace be upon you."). It's like the word "Christ", which is Latin for "Savior/Messiah".

That's a pretty controversial thing to talk about, even on the news. That may be why they didn't include it in their article.

#22. The Philadelphia Experiment.

All SH3&4 players now it's true. But... it involved submarines and their crews. The evidence is here:

I like #27 "(...) But conspiracy theorists believe the project is a weapon to bring down aircraft and missiles by lifting sections of the atmosphere, cause earthquakes or even a huge weather modification machine."

S.O.S. Météores any one?

Fun read, thanks for posting!

[SandyCaesar]

Read was extremely fun. Implications, though old news, were chilling.

All it goes to prove: there is nothing people will not believe. I think I may have stumbled upon the First Law of Conspiracy: The number of believers in a particular conspiracy theory is directly proportional to the length of the scientific explanation. If they don't want to hear how something happened, they'll go ahead and formulate their own explanations, and before you know it...

Okay, I'll shut up, or else the Men in Black are going to come for me soon.

The participators in this thread know too much

The Black Helicopters are on their way...

[SandyCaesar]

Actually...I suspect that some of those conspiracy theories were started by government officials hoping to have a laugh. Hey, at least that means the government is doing something effectively.

[Raptor1]

Wait, wait...is that a conspiracy on how conspiracy theories come into existence? :hmm:

No. The real conspiracy is that all of these conspiracies are actually true and to cover up the truth 'they' create conspiracy theories so people think it's a conspiracy instead of the truth, theoretically anyway.
