Our attitude concerning mockery of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon

Arsalan, you completely ignored my question.

Yes, I am sure that was the case with some people and also some Jews, Christians, and Muslims Romans and Perians were not loyal to the "Muslim" empire during the Caliphs.

If I remember correct some people thought that the descendants of Ali shoudl run the "Muslim" empire.

During the first Caliphate there was a LOT of KILLING going on. Come on Arsalan. Are you trying to parody the stereotypical Muslim?

When Muslims conquored lands it was only defensive and have nothing to do with taking lands and the actual wars were completely peaceful and everyone just tossed down their arms and became happy servants to their new rulers and everyone lived on a continental size sugar cone with ice cream and a cherry on top. But when evil Europeans came and reconquered lands that had been in their possession for 1000 years that was a big fat bloody bath and those evil Christian Crusades were wrong wrong wrong and they knocked the cherry off the top and the Holy ice cream melted blah blah blah

so in summary
Muslim Crusades were peaceful and everyone ate lolly pops.
Christian Crusades were evil and eveyone lost their lolly pops.

I find it odd that something as important as .. ooo I don't know .. killing people, wouldn't be made crystal clear in the what you two both consider to be a "perfect" book.

The book has been around in it's current form for at least 1000 years surely someone would have settled this a LONG LONG time ago.

(whatever perfect means).

Ehh, they were. Whole towns helped the Muslims to get rid of their Roman masters. Romans joined the Muslims when they were fighting against the Romans who wanted to conquer them.

Yes, that was a part of the Muslim community, not the non-Muslims.

A lot of killing going on? You mean the wars instigated by the Persians and the Romans? One side wanted to kill the Muslims, as they had already done with several tribes in their lands, and one side wanted to conquer more land. And the Muslims did not sit back and let these people kill them. Unfortunately, these victories over the people who actually started these hostilies have now been dubbed "conquests" and are seen as synonymous to the spread of Islam. Which is wrong.

What do you mean killing people?

 

he's unfamiliar with the concept of blood feud, so he does not know that killing people wasn't as casual as it is today.

Let me get this straight.

The Persians wanted to conqueror Arab cities? It was the Persians fault? Is that your position?

The Egyptians, who also deserved to be conquered?

Oh, and the North Africans, they somehow also deserved to be conquered?

Oh and the Sicilians - they somehow was going to what? Come to Arabia and occupy a mud village in the middle of no where?? Is that what you are saying here Arsalan?!?!?!

The Island of Cete did what? They were going to occupy Arabs? From where - their little Island???:bugeye:

Please tell me you don't think that!

The Vandals - they were gonna come and git them poor Arabs cause they really really really like that there purdy moon rock ... come on...


Yup, Muslims I see now.

Muslim crusades = defense and liberty and lolly pops and invention of zero while...
Christian crusades = evil bloody blood bath blood blood.

Yup, wow, it's all soooo clear to me now.

Thanks Arsalan,

Michael


Khalid ibn al-Walid
Do you not see the wealth of the land of the Persians? Do you not remember the poverty of the land of the Arabs? Do you not see how the crops in this land cover the earth? If the holy war were not enjoined by Allah, we should still come and conquer this rich land and exchange the hunger of our deserts for the abundant eating which is now ours
Annals of the Early Caliphate (p. 75)



Yup purely a defensive liberation.
Please Arsalan - you don't still think Muslim's invented Ballet do you???
:roflmao:


HEY, I know we're not supposed to show images of The Last New Prophet BUT.....

The New Holy Qur'an

US troops are "greatest force for human liberation the world has ever known"

Geeze GW Bush even sounds like a Muslim Prophet - I guess He is a Direct Descendant!!!! Hahahahahaaa LOL

It;'s all making sense now. The USA is liberating them poor Iraqis I mean look at how many Muslim are working with USA. Yes, pure lollys and candy Its a new Caliphate with GW as The Prophet...

 

Im surprised that someone who loves Wiki that much failed to read the following regarding the Muslim "conquests" of North Africa:

:roflmao: Yes, thats some darn good academic material right there!

As you probably know now, and if you dont you should, the Romans wanted to control a lot of places and they were afraid of the Muslims in the religious sense and that it was spreading and therefore other countries were joining this new "empire". So they started hostilities trying to take these Muslim countries. On the other side, the Persians were getting all crazy after the Prophet passed away and thought the religion was over and started slaughtering Muslims. It was in response to these threats and attacks from both sides that they were fought by Khalid bin Walid, one of the most successful generals in the history of mankind. And then you take a quote attributed to him on wiki supposedly from a William Muir book, a quote which is nowhere to be found in ANY hadith or record, and which, as the wiki page claims, was nothing but a morale boosting quote and not the reason behind the fighting, and then you try to paint the Muslim "conquests" off as some kind of aggressive holy war to get control of some resources. It is indeed utterly absurd Michael

Dunno bout ballet, but the first working camera obscura was in Egypt and the first flying man was a Muslim.

Ok then let me get rid of this obsession you seem to have with Bush being a descendent of the Prophet. Your source was probably this place which features the following images:

Now, the original article I posted was this where it states that the blood of the Prophet passed into the Royals of England in the 15th century. Now, as we can see from the above images, De Clare's bloodline splits at around the start of the 14th century with one bloodline leading to Lovering who was the ancestor of Bush and the other bloodline leading to Elizabeth II. If the Prophets bloodline passed into the Royals of England, it would have to have passed into it during the time of or inbetween Anne Wells and Mary Elizabeth Carpenter and therefore the Prophet was not the ancestor of Bush. Understand now?

 

I have my reasons for believing in the things I do. Agree to disagree?

There's only one true interpretation, but thousands of different opinions. We're representing two of them.

Just friendly discourse.

 

Arsalan,

You're doing it again.

Muslim war of Aggression = Lolly's and Candy
Christian war of Aggression = Bloody Blood Soaked Blood

War of Aggression is always what it is.
Bloody Blood Soaked Blood

There is only one reason for conquering other peoples land and if you can not figure it out take a look at the modern day liberation of Iraq and how 9/11 was used to justify it. Arabs wanted a peace of pie and ended up taking the whole thing. No different than what the Mongolians or English or Romans of Greeks or etc...

RE: William Muir one would have to get the book.

As to the GW Bush Jr's genealogy sorry but he is a direct descendant of Margaret De Clare - 22 generation to be precise

That makes him a Direct Descendant of Mohammad.

Whose you're daddy

lol

 

So whose is true?

How does one find out what the "true" interpretation is? (should it be just truth - full stop?

Also, it seems rather silly that something as important as killing wouldn't be settling as to what is exactly "true" - you know, given that people have been reading The "Perfect" Qur'anic-entanglement for Ooooo about 1000+ years...

funny that - I mean, being a "perfect" book an all...

Michael

 

Whose argument do you find more appealing?

Research.

The book is perfect. The followers, however, are not.

 

Fortunately, thats not what happened and your evidence for it has been disproven. And I have not mentioned the Crusades yet...

It couldnt possibly be that they were being attacked

"Theyre Arabs, they must be at fault!"

He cannot be a direct descendent as ive shown already. The Prophets bloodline entered King Edwards bloodline in the 15th century whereas the bloodline that was going to lead to Bush split at the start of the 14th century. The bloodline where the PRophets blood passed into through the Royals was a long long way off from de Clare and therefore there is no direct descendency.

 

What kind of killing are you talking about exactly?

 

Evidence for what? For people dieing when at war?!?!

What exactly is your position, that Muslims conquered Persia, Egypt, Syria, Spain, Crete, Sicily, etc... and no body was killed?

That's asinine.

Arsalan is it your opinion that during the Muslim Crusades into Persia, Egypt, Byzantine, Syria and Spain that many many many people died or not? If not then explain how war of aggression can occur without many many people dieing. Magic?

Michael


RE Bush
Sadly you seem to be correct in that our beloved Dweedle Dumb New Prophet Bush may not be related - BUT, as that bastard is related to soo many f*cking royals all over Europe I'm sure I could turn up something if I had the time.

Any kind of killing.

The First Crusade was launched in 1095

Its quite possible that a lot of intermingling was going on.

 

Whats with all these notions about Arabs?

This may sound incredibly funny, but Michael actually works in a lab.

Fine, but obviously these Muslims went to those countries/areas to conquer them. It is inevitable that because of that Islam got some foothold in those areas. Simply by just being there the locals would have come in contact with the new religion and some of them must have converted, encouraged or not.

Also, it was a Muslim empire.. that in itself says enough.

 

Sure but the aim of the Empire was not conversion. And we only call it Muslim Empire because most people here are black and white thinkers.

I don't think the Mongols who conquered the Persians and Arabs had a desire to spread or undermine religion, do you?
