What part is the meme?

2017-08-11 02:33:31 UTC  

The hellenic world transformed the world and then so did the Romans, whose Empire didn't offically collapse until the 5th century. Do you think that all the infrastructure disappears over night? The 'dark ages' is a misleading term.

@Deleted User 15th century

2017-08-11 02:33:59 UTC  

@Valtiel We Wuz Kangz n Sheit but then da evil Mongols came and sacked Baghdad.

2017-08-11 02:34:39 UTC  

@Deleted User no shit. It took hundreds of years for Europe to go from Rome to Feudalism

2017-08-11 02:34:42 UTC  

@Deleted User That's correct. My mind is always in the Western Empire, my mistake. All praise to Constantinople.

@National Trotskyist when the kidnapped the Persian king?

2017-08-11 02:35:52 UTC

2017-08-11 02:36:08 UTC  

Persians We rent Muslims

2017-08-11 02:36:18 UTC  

Were not*

2017-08-11 02:36:53 UTC  

What is: The golden age of Islam and who took the banner of Aristotlean logic and carried it further for centuries?
Who are: Farabi, **Avicenna**, Ghazali, Rumi, Sinan?
Bonus: Early stages of Ottoman Empire until 16th century

2017-08-11 02:37:35 UTC  

There's that side too. Don't forget Islamic Spain, that was pretty comfy.

2017-08-11 02:38:09 UTC  

Khawarij just need to assassinate more rulers

2017-08-11 02:38:17 UTC  

no big deal

2017-08-11 02:38:20 UTC  

This time in history is heavily politicised.

2017-08-11 02:38:20 UTC  

😎

2017-08-11 02:38:26 UTC  

Now I'm giving you the sources to look at, without including any personal bias.

2017-08-11 02:39:28 UTC  

These multi-way discussions can be confusing. But thanks.

2017-08-11 02:40:17 UTC  

I still don't know why you became Sufi and want to reform Islam. It seems anti-historical, where the prophet was the best example, and his companions. They were not Sufi.

2017-08-11 02:40:43 UTC  

Simple, it is outdated.

2017-08-11 02:41:05 UTC  

>outdated
How do you mean?

2017-08-11 02:41:14 UTC  

It's the current year?

2017-08-11 02:41:51 UTC  

Huh? It can't be applied to today's conditions.

2017-08-11 02:42:24 UTC  

what do you mean

2017-08-11 02:43:46 UTC  

The practice, being written and applied in deserts and 1400 years ago, is totally irrelevant to today's times.

2017-08-11 02:43:57 UTC  

I'm shocked.

2017-08-11 02:44:08 UTC  

Most of it, at least. The truth still stands there, that's why we don't put it wholely into trash bin.

2017-08-11 02:44:16 UTC  

this is some tip top heresy you have my friend

2017-08-11 02:44:23 UTC  

Allah is the best of planners?

2017-08-11 02:44:36 UTC  

People would like to call that, yeah. I would be beheaded in Saudi Arabia.

2017-08-11 02:45:03 UTC  

This sounds a lot like 'Jesus was just a nice guy, the rest of it doesn't matter'.

2017-08-11 02:45:13 UTC  

What new age christians say.

2017-08-11 02:45:15 UTC  

this sounds a lot like protestantism

2017-08-11 02:45:23 UTC  

but with an islamic spin

2017-08-11 02:45:41 UTC  

>who needs scripture anyways

2017-08-11 02:45:46 UTC  

Also as for me being a *leftist*, the whole idea originates around the verse: "Property belongs to Allah" (Imran - 3:180) and goes on and on from here.

2017-08-11 02:47:34 UTC  

The parts where it seems like it would contradict and clash with materialism, I can talk upon tomorrow, I'll be going to sleep soon.

2017-08-11 02:48:48 UTC  

That seems to tie into Zakat (charity). Okay, thanks for the chat.

>Allah is just a nice guy, the rest of it doesn't matter

2017-08-11 02:55:12 UTC  

"""Nice guy"""
