Saudi Arabia to build 200 Mosques in Germany

You clearly know nothing of Islam then.

We know Him enough not attach pagan qualities onto Him, as Christians do.

 

If you hate someone or a group of people, then aren't you bound to hurt them in some way? How could it be otherwise?

 

I know Islam offers its adherents benefits which can exist only in a carnal three dimensional world...something which doesn't exist after death.

You are looking at outward symbols, rather than what exists within a person's heart. Paganism is pride and self indulgence, while Christianity is humility and love. Anyway it's a personal acceptance and development, that's why Christianity can't be imposed on anyone.

 

What does that mean?

 

Oh come on Goomba, let's cut it out. You know very well the Christians are the ones taking the brunt of the attacks. When the war started, the first city the jihadists entered was Homs, and the first thing they did was tell the sixty thousand Christians to leave or be killed. Of course the MSM never mentioned it.

 

Lol, the Sunnis are clearly the ones taking the brunt of the attacks, as the wealthy Christians are peacefully living their lives in regime strongholds.

 

You can't seem to understand that I don't care if they supposedly worship "the same God" as Christians. I'm disgusted by their anti-woman culture and the fact they think they're justified to murder people just because someone names a bear 'Mohammad' or draws a cartoon of that silly pedo.

 

Saudi Arabia has built a 600 mile fence to keep ISIS out and two weeks ago they arrested 431 ISIS sympathizers.

 

Yes, I too am disgusted by Western culture.

 

If America is so racist, why are so many non-whites running over here?

Fine, I hope to stay out of here then.

 

I think that is axiomatic. I also think that it is axiomatic that protracted retribution leads to history repeating itself.

I'd argue that Americans (perhaps except for Southerners) are much more tolerant than their European ancestors, but this is all due to history.

Minorities are running to America for the same reasons Westerners were running to Islamic territories when Europe was stuck in the dark ages.

Sorry, but if the West is allowed to intervene in the East, then its a two-way street.

Christianity adopted pagan holidays because people worshipped a certain way, and there was no reason not to retain these practices as long as they weren't sinful or harmful. For instance the Church took the temples to Zeus and dedicated them to the Prophet Elias. They even took his attributes and made him the protector of Storms.

The same thing with holidays. The Puritanical US even banned Christmas because people were getting drunk and riotous the way they did during the pagan holiday of Saturnalia.

As far as Christianity goes, there's a psychological aspect to it. When someone accepts Jesus as having died for their sins, they are letting go of their pride and accepting themselves as sinners in need of repentance. It is that pride which was hindering God's Spirit from entering their hearts.

The comfort and perfection of one's heart is known as God's Grace, since it's a gift God gives to those who are willing to accept His Son and repent for their sins. It's a continuous growth process and doesn't happen overnight, and people can fall from Grace as well.

Goomba, the West never ran to Islam during the dark ages, they ran to Byzantium, joined the army and were given land...mostly in Anatolia.

Also the Arab golden age had to do with Alexandria and their schools and libraries. The Greek world was still alive and well you know...even though many were forced to convert.

 

You are too proud to admit the historical truth.

 

Why would ISIS, Al Nusra, Al Sham, etc., attack the Sunnis, when they themselves are Sunnis?

 

Hmmm, let me see, oh yes!- the Assad regime are targeting the Sunnis! Duh?

 

You know this is a lot of hogwash. Who is writing such lies?

The British didn't fund Ibn Saud.. They bet on the Emir of Mecca.. and as for the Rasheeds.. They were chased out of town .. Two years later they were summoned for a meeting and offered jobs in administering the kingdom.. or they could go into permanent exile.. All took the jobs and Ibn Saud married some of their daughters ...

For the same reason ISIS declared war on KSA which has a Sunni majority.

 

Obviously you never heard of the Byzantine Empire? According to the historian Durant, when Constantinople fell after a thousand years, it had more schools, educated people and libraries than all the cities of Europe. As an example of how highly educated they were, they would only write in classical Greek. It was these teachers that the European kings and nobility brought back from the Crusades that woke up Europe, and started the Renaissance.




This map was during the Age of Justinian in the sixth century when the empire was at its height. It kept getting smaller as time went on, and when the pilgrims couldn't visit the Holy Sites, the Emperor asked the Pope for help. This started the Crusades.

 

Er, I've certainly heard of them. It's just laughable that you base the centuries-long Islamic Golden Age on some Greek books.

 

No doubt. There are some serious problems within "western culture", but our comparative treatment of women is certainly not one of them. I've certainly never seen a young, fit man forcing an elderly woman to carry heavy sacks of grain in the sweltering heat while she wears an oppressive, black blanket over her body, that is, until I went to a Sunni Muslim city in Iraq. This was done openly in public view of everyone during the busiest time of day. Nobody objected in the slightest. In the west, abusers and exploiters of women have to do their dirty work in secret, otherwise they will get beaten or otherwise dealt with by real men. In America specifically, an old woman struggling beneath the weight of a heavy object would probably have to wait all of three seconds before multiple people offered her help.

 

Southern communities are plenty tolerant and diverse. There are Mosques in every southern state. Alabama alone has dozens of Mosques. And I don't see an army of southern people marching on these mosques with torches and pitchforks.

Of course, you have a very jaundiced, very absurdist view of the "west" and the people who live there, although you have no problem trying to utilize their superior wealth and technology for your own sectional blood feuds.

 

Yes, and I've never seen a whole population not care that so many of its female youth are having (*)(*)(*)(*) sprayed on their faces for the whole world to see.

 

What will be justice for what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians? Hypocrite

 

That's because its against the law to burn down mosques, and when it comes to the law, Americans are such a subservient bunch.

My views on the West are objective and free of any personal animosity. They are general in tone.

So what if we utilize your wealth and technology? It's not like the West didn't do the same when we ruled the world.
