The original sin was putting individualism above social cohesion.

some of these people treat their ideology very much like others would their religion

i think i have already sent this?

i dunno

Maajid desperately trying to derail a caller that compared Islam in Europe to what happened to native Americans when white man arrived, LOL

worst part about that post I sent is its has some truth to it

Change my mind

god is dead, we asked 100 people who among you is the murderer of the original murderer

don't say things like that - I'll have Marilyn Manson playing in my head for the rest of the day, LOL

"Truth" twisted by an agenda. Their religion destroyed whatever hope their "region" had to begin with.

i was trying to quote nietzsche but lost the thread mid sentence

Iran was great before the islamists took power <:GWcorbinTopKek:384871333705678868>

most certainly greater than now

Saudi was semi secular before the Saudi family got power

iraq and syria were livable before

wonder who gave power to them...

Saudi got power because of the brits mate

yeah, my point

they must have thought religious people are easier to manage

everything traces back to the evil empire!

<:GWcorbinTopKek:384871333705678868>

a bit of a simplificaion

but kinda

USA had more to do with the free pass to spread Salafism

^

Only reason the muslim world became so conservative eas because of the Saudis

They got rich from the oil

Built mosques and religious schools everywhere

in exchange for American military bases

And spread their hyper conservative form of islam, Wahabbism.

yeah america has it's faults too by existing and having gold, had kris kristoffersson not found the west indies - islam probably wouldn't exist anymore

that spanish armada was bound for a different place before america was discovered

Sometimes you have to go full “Rome sacking Jerusalem “ on them

The Spanish Armada... ahh, those were the days

The birth of the British Empire (English Empire back then)... built on a myth and pure luck

...and then bluff everyone who thought the Armada was defeated in battle

hey we can blame the scandinavians for that, had vikings not invaded the british isles they wouldn't be that interested in seafaring

yeah, those feckers

When did history forget that the largest religions did not become so through conversion but through the sword

sailing is life
