"Not having to look your enemy in the eye makes things a lot easier."

From Rome to Rwanda, humans have had no problem getting up close and stabby-hacky.

Japan even cultivated "atrocity" as general policy, including bayonet and edged-weapon practice on captives.

You're kidding, right ? It's a ridiculous claim that a muslim found out something centuries before "western" scientists ever did, without any substantiation or source. You're not seriously expecting a source I hope. Muslims claim this sort of absurdities all the time. Talking to them about this will teach you one thing : you'll never have to wait long for a violence once you start demanding realism.

The De Viginere cipher was discovered in the 16th century. It was, obviously, not cracked in the 9th. Worse than that, al Kindi never did any math at all, and his attempts to bring a tiny bit of reason into islam ended with his execution by religious "fatwa". Whatever little discoveries he made, we only know about them because Christian monks recorded them, muslims burned his books *and* the author, after beheading him, after torturing him. What this means, other than that even a tiny amount of reason is considered an enemy of islam worthy of execution is beyond anyone who has studied even a little bit of history.

The fantasy :
muslims "knew about interstellar galactic material in the 6th century"

The reality of idiocies defended by muslim scolars, TODAY :
muhammad and allah claim the sun sets in a muddy pool
Oh, and, btw, there is exactly 1 reason children are disfigured and die from polio (Obviously the disease is going to spread again in 5 years or so. I guess allah must really hate babies)
(needless to say the sun sets over the horizon. It obviously does not contact anything, nor does it appear to touch anything consistently)
(and to get into historical relations between islam and science : read up on, say, the colossus, or the library of alexandria, or look up just what the center of knowledge and richess in the ancient world was, before muslims brought their genocides and wars. Look up statistics like that a single city like Luxemburg has more cultural output than ALL muslim nations COMBINED. How small countries yearly output in books is easily 10 times the cumulative muslim cultural output of all time. I mean you cannot imagine just how bad islam fucked up. The region, the people, the disgusting wars, executions and the total absense of any culture worth mentioning)

I guess it doesn't take much to make idiots happy. Feel free to choose what you believe. However, may I point out I have one BIG problem with this piss-poor disgusting excuse for a religion. I don't mind any religion, really. I'm an atheist myself, and feel free to choose what to believe. However, I have a problem with muslims : the killings, the death, the disgusting executions, and the everlasting destruction of people and minds islam brings wherever it goes. You don't get to kill. Not with allah's permission. Not for racist reasons. No gendercide. Not for political reasons (just look at the frontpage of tomorrow's news). Not for religious reasons. The only thing muslims excel in, is genocide and massacres.

There is not a SINGLE muslim country that has managed to hold on to the level of technology that it had in the year 700 A.D. under islam. Not a single one. That's the sad reality. Christians split the atom, discovered the technology to keep 6 billion humans alive on this planet, and put a man on the moon, in cooperation with Jews and Atheists. That's reality.

This sick disease of a religion should be burned off the earth. Yes, you heard me. We should just end it, because the more delays, the more people wil

Here is one article. And another article from a right wing perspective, and yet another article from the left side of the aisle. Then there's this and this and this, too.

Any more objections?

Oh and about their prisoner harvesting?

Thank you very much and have a nice day.

Since you have yet to admit the US shouldnt be committing the genocide, perhaps you can enlighten us -- are you a Nazi?

What American genocide? You're throwing around a term I don't think you understand nor do you have any backing of. This is genocide.

Or are you going to deny that Saddam was outrightly genocidal and continue to support a lie?

"What is India doing to the population, making them suffer?"

Yes, what is India doing to the population? Nothing compared to the sort of ethnic cleaning that took place in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir and the Kashmir valley in the name of Islam, perpetrated by Pak-trained terrorists from Pak, Afghanistan, Chechnya etc.

"When were Bengalis evicted or their land taken?"

Please refer to this page http://www.gendercide.org/case_bangladesh.html
The following is from that page...

"The Hindus -- "We are only killing the men; the women and children go free. We are soldiers not cowards to kill them ..." I was to hear in Comilla [site of a major military base] [Comments R.J. Rummel: "One would think that murdering an unarmed man was a heroic act" (Death By Government, p. 323)]"

You only have to see these results http://www.google.co.in/search?q=Hindus+in+Banglad esh+1971&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&i e=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla: en-US:official to realise what sort of barbarism has been allowed to flourish in the name of Islam.

"Saudi Arabia hasn't evicted anyone nor stole their land."

The polytheists in existence in Saudi Arabi during the time of Mohammad were converted or massacred. Presenting someone with a choice between becoming a Muslim or dying is forcible conversion.

"Afghanistan? Who was evicted and killed? "

Read history. Afghanistan was a Hindu province till 1000 AD. It was attacked and its citizens converted to Islam or massacred. Kandhar is the current mispronunciation of the Sanskrit term Gandhar which was the capital of a flourishing ancient Hindu kingdom. Uzbekistan and Takzikistan Formed part of the Afghan kingdom in those times. Tashkent has one of those ancient Shiv temples standing even today.

Baku (capital of the Azerbaijan region) known for its underground petroleum yields has still an ancient Hindu temple of the Divine Flame generated by the subterraneas petrol and gas). During the Czar regimes in Russia a Punjabi priest officiated at that temple. The walls display some religious stanzas written in Punjabi Gurumakhi script. The market there also had Hindu merchants. Nearby was a locality too of Hindu inhabitants.

Kenduj a province of Afghanistan, ruled by a king had a Hindu prime minister. This is mentioned in history books. Albirruni's travel account contains details of ancient Hindu Afghanistan, He mentions a Hindu king, Khingla whose coins bore the imprint of God Shiva.

Arabs began invading Afghanistan around, 155A.D. A Persian chronicle TARIKH-E-SISTAN records that invasion and the plunder and devastation of a shiva temple there The invader ibn-e-Samurah carried away the gold idol of Shiva among other Valuables. When ibn Samurah invaded kandhar he carried out a general massacre.

But I guess all the Hindu and Buddhist population of the region just decided to vanish into nothingness and present their lands to the muslims.

"Look, even if it happened once, you're blowing it tremendously out of proportion. Islam wasn't spread by the sword."

Most of the middle east to the east of Saudi Arabia was forcibly taken by Islam through massacres and forced conversions. Iran was Persian. Afghanistan was Hindu. Uzbekistan was Hindu. What are they now? Islamic countries. I have given you examples of 4 countries (Pak, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Iran) that were made Islamic by the sword. You have given me one example of Indonesia. I don't think you know what you're talking about.

"Are you going to blame Kashmir on Pakistan?"

Kashmir is Pakistan's fault. It trained and sent Armed tribals alongwith their Pak army reg

the witch hunts didn't happen in the middle ages, it was the begining of these modern times of enlightenment and science that brought them on (random link pulled from google, you can find better ones if you look) http://www.gendercide.org/case_witchhunts.html the witch hunts didn't get into full gear until around 1550. you could also add in things like 'preserving the last embers of writing and knowledge through the dark ages', 'reintroducing the writings of aristotle that had been lost to the west by translating arabic sources', 'incorporating the teachings of jewish and muslim philosphers into church doctrine' and other scholarly pursuits to your christian game.

• It was extremely common for polling booths to be attacked by goons paid by one of the candidates and all the ballot papers destroyed.
• Large numbers of "party members" would vote repeatedly by pretending to be someone else or using special techniques that would remove the ink from their fingers.
• Earlier, results for each voting center would be individually known. This would lead to goons beating up people of those villages that voted against them. AFAIK this doesn't happen in the current system because the EVMs are centrally processed and only constituency-wise results are known.

Don't be a luddite. ID cards aren't infringing on anyone's freedom. It sounds especially ridiculous considering that in India we have a long way to go to achieve basic freedoms, like the right of a female to live. Voter ID cards and EVMs are the best thing to happen to India's political system in a long time.

There are a lot of people who are still slaves. Some were never paid for. And most of them are women.

if you don't believe me, look up "honour killings" on the internet, and then ask yourself if you don't want a massive cultural change in Iraq.
