Ahmadis sentenced to death for blasphemy
Oct 19th, 2017 at 12:04pm
 
Quote:
Days After Sentencing 3 Ahmadi Muslims To Death, Pakistan Wins UN Human Rights Seat


When posters abusing and calling for the social boycott of Ahmadi Muslims were plastered in a Pakistani village, four Ahmadis decided to remove them from their Mosque. In retrospect, it was a bad decision. Just five days ago, a Pakistani court handed three of them the death sentence for “blasphemy” (for tearing down “religious posters”). The fourth one? just a few days after his arrest, he was gunned down while in police custody.

This kind of blasphemy sentence is not an anomaly. It is a small glimpse into the systematic and state-sponsored persecution of Ahmadi Muslims across the country

Since the inception of these laws, over a hundred Ahmadiyya Mosques have either been sealed by the State, or burned down or forcibly taken over by extremist mobs

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

So do most other Muslims, Baron.  Unfortunately, their key belief in Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as the Promised Messiah and Mahdi, as prophesied by the Islamic prophet Muhammad, runs counter to the main thinking of mainstream Islam.   It is akin to believing that Saint Paul was the true messiah for the Christians...    Roll Eyes

Reforming Islam
Can it be done?
Tanveer Ahmed

15 April 2017

The Koran was placed on the highest possible level in my household. It was a mark of awe that the Holy Book should sit on the top of the book shelf. By the time I was a teenager, I was expected to perform a purification ritual, wudu, before reading it. Menstruating women were not allowed to touch it.

I was always encouraged to read it in Arabic, because otherwise I would not understand the true meaning of the text, or so I was told. This was also the response from clerics or mullahs if questions about uncomfortable passages encouraging the killing of unbelievers, hitting women or executing homosexuals arose. I had to understand the root words in Arabic before I could offer any opinions.

This has always been the way with all structures of authority. Control of the language and terminology is a way of maintaining power. Catholic priests did the same with Latin and the Bible. But then along came the printing press and Luther, smashing up the old hierarchies. Suddenly information spread like wildfire, books were easily printed in other languages and illiterate people had motivation to learn to read. Soon they could read the text of the Bible and decide for themselves, upending previous hierarchies.

While the Reformation is considered a problematic word in Islam, because Wahhabism and the nation of Saudi Arabia are considered the products of an equivalent purification of Islam, the reform of Islam may be driven by the internet.

British ex-Muslim Maryam Namazie says that the internet is helping to unshackle Muslim atheists, previously hiding in the midst of their respectable, pious brethren. Translation software is allowing for much easier textual understanding and investigation of so called Arabic root words. When scepticism or unbelief takes hold, unbelievers have access to an available online community of support.

‘This has brought with it courage and hope for the right to live as they choose. It’s become a global resistance movement,’ writes Namazie.

The development represents a major threat to the stability and hierarchy of Islamic countries. The Saudis are taking it very seriously with authorities equating atheism with terrorism in new laws. In Egypt, the highest Sunni authority has joined forces with the youth ministry to combat rising expressions of atheism. Apostasy is punishable by death in at least thirteen Islamic countries with many more carrying offences like flogging and imprisonment.

Nor are such attitudes limited to beyond our shores. As recent footage of a Hizb ut-Tahrir meeting in Sydney illustrates, there is no shortage of locally based Muslims who agree that apostates must be killed in Islam. Their escape clause is that this should occur only in an ideal Islamic state, which Australia thankfully falls short of.

Such legalistic technicalities were not necessary for my Uber driver namesake who travelled hundreds of kilometres from Northern England to kill an Ahmadi shopkeeper, Asad Shah, residing in Glasgow. That Tanveer Ahmed is now a hero in his native Pakistan for upholding Islamic values by killing heretics. A rally of support for his actions was held earlier this year.

That such tensions are simmering within Muslim communities is a measure of the genuine desire of many to implement needed reform. But the vast bulk of support from Western governments and media outlets are aimed at aiding so called moderate, religious Muslims; most of whom fall into the apologist category. Supporting atheists from Islam is politically incorrect, because authorities and respectable pundits do not want to be accused of encouraging Muslims to leave the religion. Furthermore, as we’ve just seen with the cancellation of Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s trip, even reasonably held atheist views from Islam are seen as threatening, insensitive and demeaning to religious Muslims. This is one of the biggest barriers to the reform of Islam, that Muslim identity is so tightly wrapped up in the expression of self. We may see hijabs and beards as external markers but they are fashion accessories to an inner outfit of historical injustice, moral superiority and a barely disguised middle finger to Anglo-Saxon, mainstream Australia.

For decades Muslims have protested that any legitimate criticism of Israel is deflected by Jews with accusations of anti-semitism. But now Muslims have jumped on the bandwagon themselves with the term Islamophobia used as a defence against the scrutiny of the set of ideas that is Islam.

The result is often an unsophisticated debate veering from proclamations that Islam is a falsely maligned religion of peace to more antagonistic voices demanding bans on Muslim immigration. By aggressively crowding out the most informed Islamic reformers, like Hirsi Ali or British thinker Maajid Nawaz, defensive Muslims are rewarded with the likes of Wilders, Trump or Hanson.

But Islamic reform depends upon having a large variety of voices and thinkers in the tent varying from feminists, gays and atheists. The notion of an atheist or cultural Muslim has traditionally been a joke, an oxymoron in Islam, but it is time for this new category. As the Canadian-Pakistani physician illustrates in his book The Atheist Muslim, the vast majority of Muslims completely reject the passages in the Koran encouraging the hitting of women, executing homosexuals or killing apostates. But in their rejection they are usually limited to intellectual gymnastics about the passages lacking context because Muslims still believe the text as the word of God. The implications of the way most Muslims behave is that they do not actually believe the Koran being the literal word of God. As Rizvi notes, religious believers all self select their views within certain confines.

There are many cafeteria Catholics who ignore the faith’s teachings around abortion and contraception but retain their Catholic identities. Likewise many Jews openly reject belief in an Abrahamic God but are committed to traditions like Passover. Judaism progressed from questioning the Torah as being the word of God to accepting that it was created by men with divine inspiration.

Figures like Hirsi Ali have changed their attitudes to reform, believing that it’s important to be in the tent with Muslims, whereas previously she was resigned to abandoning the religion altogether. But any progress still depends upon Muslims giving up such a space and not seeing atheists as existential threats. There is only a flicker of such attitudinal change thus far.

https://www.spectator.co.uk/2017/04/reforming-islam/

So can it be done? No. Islam can bee abandoned but reforming is only possible if the ideas that the Koran is the eternal, perfect and unalterable word of god is rejected. But then if that idea is rejected, Mohammed's 'final prophethood' has to be also rejected.

After that,  what is left of Islam??

The Muslims are suffering their own Inquisition just

as Christians did under the Roman Catholics.


THE TRUE FACE OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC INQUISITION --
ROTTEN SPIRITUAL FRUIT FROM THE ABYSS OF HELL

Since history books have been largely rewritten,
few people know specific details of this murderous campaign that lasted over 1,200 years,
killing 75 million people.
But, once you understand the unprecedented horrors of the Inquisition,
you will never look at Roman Catholicism the same way again.

Yep, kill disbelievers, wherever you find them.

In ISLAM, disbelief is a capital crime.

In places that enforce ISLAMIC law, it is completely lawful to execute,
1/ disbelievers
2/ apostates,
3/ blasphemers,
4/ any person who is deemed to have 'insulted' ISLAM.


e.g.
brian,

Do you remember the Mohammed Teddy Bear incident, in the Sudan, a few years ago ?

Where an English woman was working as a school teacher in the Sudan.

And she suggested to her pupils, the name 'Mohammed' for a toy Teddy Bear that she had, in the classroom.

This English woman was arrested, and local moslems held street protests calling for her to be beheaded, for insulting the Messenger of Allah.

Where is the international pressure? Ditto for the world's silence on the Saudi destruction of Yemen. Why isn't Rex Tillerson or Julie Bishop on their moral high horse over this? The cold hard truth is no one wants to apply any serious pressure on Pakistan because the US so desperately needs it to prosecute the war in Afghanistan. These atrocities will continue so long as the world remains silent, and complicit in them.

It would be Islamophobic for Julie Bishop or any non muslim to whinge about Islamic blasphemy laws in Pakistan.

Where are the muslims having a whinge about blasphemy laws where sharia law prevails or would it be blasphemy for muslims to whinge about their blasphemy laws?

What happened to Salman Taseer when he opposed blasphemy laws?

'The killer of my father, Salman Taseer, was showered with rose petals by fanatics. How could they do this?'


Thousands of Pakistanis showered rose petals on the assassin of Salman Taseer, the governor of Punjab who sought clemency for a Christian woman sentenced to death. Here his eldest son, Aatish Taseer, who lives in Delhi, mourns his death - and the nihilism of a country that could not tolerate a patriot who was humanitarian to his core.

Quote:
Why Would the Pakistani Intelligence Agency Support the Taliban?


One of the most disturbing aspects of the revelations contained in WikiLeaks is the picture it paints of the behavior of Pakistan.
Pakistan, it seems, has been playing a ‘double game,’ assuring the US that it is doing what it can to tackle the fundamentalist militancy within its borders, taking incredible quantities of US aid in both cash and kind, but not only allowing militancy to flourish within its borders, but also, the leaks show, tolerating contact between top-level figures from its Intelligence Agency and commanders of the insurgency.
Given the allied perception that the fundamentalist militants pose a clear threat not just to the allied but to Pakistan too, one of the questions which is most often asked is: why is Pakistan doing this?
There are a number of reasons. Foremost amongst them is the Pakistani Intelligence Agency’s institutional perception that the main threat to the country comes from India. This runs deep and colors most Pakistani analysts’ view of the conflict on its Western border.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Now now, G, they're allies.

I'm sure Alevine would approve of us shaking the Pakistani Attorney General's hand.

It would be Islamophobic for Julie Bishop or any non muslim to whinge about Islamic blasphemy laws in Pakistan.

Where are the muslims having a whinge about blasphemy laws where sharia law prevails or would it be blasphemy for muslims to whinge about their blasphemy laws?

What happened to Salman Taseer when he opposed blasphemy laws?
Quote:
'The killer of my father, Salman Taseer, was showered with rose petals by fanatics. How could they do this?'


Thousands of Pakistanis showered rose petals on the assassin of Salman Taseer, the governor of Punjab who sought clemency for a Christian woman sentenced to death. Here his eldest son, Aatish Taseer, who lives in Delhi, mourns his death - and the nihilism of a country that could not tolerate a patriot who was humanitarian to his core.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/pakistan/8248162/The-killer-of-my...


The Pakistani ISI created the Taliban, the even gave Bin Laden a safe place to stay so the USA had trouble finding him
Quote:
Why Would the Pakistani Intelligence Agency Support the Taliban?


One of the most disturbing aspects of the revelations contained in WikiLeaks is the picture it paints of the behavior of Pakistan.
Pakistan, it seems, has been playing a ‘double game,’ assuring the US that it is doing what it can to tackle the fundamentalist militancy within its borders, taking incredible quantities of US aid in both cash and kind, but not only allowing militancy to flourish within its borders, but also, the leaks show, tolerating contact between top-level figures from its Intelligence Agency and commanders of the insurgency.
Given the allied perception that the fundamentalist militants pose a clear threat not just to the allied but to Pakistan too, one of the questions which is most often asked is: why is Pakistan doing this?
There are a number of reasons. Foremost amongst them is the Pakistani Intelligence Agency’s institutional perception that the main threat to the country comes from India. This runs deep and colors most Pakistani analysts’ view of the conflict on its Western border. It means, firstly, that they see the Taliban as an acceptable bulwark against Indian ambitions to dominate the region, whether real or perceived

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/azeem-ibrahim/why-would-the-pakistani-i_b_663005....


They're good enough for Mr Trump, Barron. Pakistanis are perfectly free to visit Amerika.

As for those cunning swarthy Yemenis -

Ban them - until we can work out what the hell is going on.

No FD.

The international community calls out human rights abuses around the world all the time. This is not cultural imperialism by the way, its standing up for human rights. t doesn't do this in Pakistan or Saudi Arabia for reasons we are all aware of. We can't directly stop a nation from abusing its people, but we can criticise it. And thats what we should be doing.

Sure we can stop them. We have been interfering in the Muslim world for centuries to make them stop. It has worked fairly well for slavery. Now we are giving them the gift of democracy.

It's politically incorrect for our politicians to call it out when Muslims do this sort of thing. They would be branded Islamophobes and accused by the apologists of spreading hate. Remember, Brian says he has no right or ability to criticise other nations or religions.

That's true, FD. It's considered politically incorrect in Canberra to disagree with any aspect of US foreign policy. Julie Bishop is at pains to agree with everything Donald Trump says, you can see. She looks physically in pain when she's asked about Trump's latest tweets.

Do you uphold the use of porkies in your campaign against the Yemenis?

A simple yes or no will suffice.

Frank,

Only the Saudis represent true moslems.        Wink

The 'moslems' in Yemen are rebels [AND, Shia!!!!].

Therefore, they are deemed to be infidels.

Therefore, it is 100% righteous, for teh true moslems, to slaughter every last one of those infidels.





THE RULE IS THAT...

Whenever and wherever a moslem is involved in a conflict,
a moslem only ever kills those who are deserving of death.

i.e.
The infidel.


------- >


SYRIA: An example of moslems slaughtering moslems...
...and an example of moslems justifying this slaughter, as a moslem war against infidels.

It's politically incorrect for our politicians to call it out when Muslims do this sort of thing. They would be branded Islamophobes and accused by the apologists of spreading hate. Remember, Brian says he has no right or ability to criticise other nations or religions.


That's true, FD. It's considered politically incorrect in Canberra to disagree with any aspect of US foreign policy. Julie Bishop is at pains to agree with everything Donald Trump says, you can see. She looks physically in pain when she's asked about Trump's latest tweets.

Do you uphold the use of porkies in your campaign against the Yemenis?

A simple yes or no will suffice.

Oh, Trump is making the Saudies kill the Shia dogs of Yemen. And Julie Bishop agrees with him.

Another geopolitical insight from Kameel that Paki cameleer.

Do you think we should engage in a bit more cultural imperialism Gandalf?


No FD.

The international community calls out human rights abuses around the world all the time. This is not cultural imperialism by the way, its standing up for human rights. t doesn't do this in Pakistan or Saudi Arabia for reasons we are all aware of. We can't directly stop a nation from abusing its people, but we can criticise it. And thats what we should be doing.


Sure we can stop them. We have been interfering in the Muslim world for centuries to make them stop. It has worked fairly well for slavery. Now we are giving them the gift of democracy.


Aww isn't that sweet? FD actually believes the wars with the Islamic world have been to stop slavery.

So what do you have in mind FD - a full scale invasion of Pakistan? Arming a rebel faction to overthrow the democratically elected government? I mean these sorts of campaigns have worked so swimmingly in the recent past haven't they?

No Frank, not sure where you got that idea. The Saudis are trying to destroy what they see as the threat of an Iranian proxy (Huthis) in Yemen. With material and (at least until very recently) direct logistical support from the US.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_Wars

The Barbary Wars were a series of conflicts that culminated in two wars fought at different times over the same reasons between the United States, Sweden, and the Barbary states (the de jure possessions of the Ottoman Empire, but de facto independent, Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli) of North Africa in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Swedes had been at war with the Tripolitans since 1800; they were eventually joined by the Americans.[2] At issue was the Barbary pirates' demand for tribute from American merchant vessels in the Mediterranean Sea. If ships of a given country failed to pay, pirates would attack the ship and take their goods, and often enslave crew members or hold them for ransom.

After the Barbary wars, western powers continued to interfere in Muslim countries to first bring about an end to the international slave trade, then local slave trades, and finally to make slavery illegal. Sex slavery is a big reason why everyone is ganging up on ISIS.

As for what I would suggest, I think we should start with killing off ISIS and firmly establishing democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It wasn't one way traffic FD:

European sources often mention Christian captives on the Barbary Coast of North Africa - Cervantes was a slave in Algiers between 1575 and 1580, for instance - but much less is known about Muslims captured on the other side. And yet, the business of kidnapping, ransoming, trading, and owning slaves of a different religion was not only a North African or Ottoman affair. It followed the Christian-Muslim frontier, from Morocco to the Black Sea, and it was fundamentally reciprocal. The Maltese corsairs were just as terrifying as their Tunisian or Algerian counterparts, and Christian Cossacks rivaled Muslim Tatars in Eastern Europe. While captured Christians were sold on the slave markets of Caffa, Istanbul, Tunis, and Algiers, the Muslims snatched by Christian raiders ended up as rowers on the galleys of the pope, builders of imperial palaces in Vienna, or domestic slaves in Venice and Malta.

Numbers
Systematic research on the demography and treatment of Muslim slaves in early modern Europe still remains to be done. We have enough information, however, to draw some preliminary conclusions about their presence in the Mediterranean area, based on the research done by Michel Fontenay, Salvatore Bono, Anne Brogini, Wolfgang Kaiser, and Robert C. Davis. First, their number was higher than previously thought: for instance, Salvatore Bono estimates that there were about twenty thousand Muslim slaves around 1600 in Naples alone, and four to five hundred thousand between 1500 and 1800 on the Italian peninsula. If we extrapolate these numbers to all of southern Europe, we easily get above one million and possibly more for the entire early modern period—as is also the case with the Christian slaves on the Barbary Coast, who amounted to at least one million in a conservative estimate. These numbers are certainly lower than those pertaining to transatlantic slavery, but they are by no means negligible.

Yes it is an 'et tu' argument - but not the way you think.

Your kindergarten logic that the west made war on the muslim world to stop slavery is flawed on two counts: 1. this supposedly anti-slave west was itself enjoying a thriving slave industry of its own at the time of the war you cite and 2. if the war was in response to the muslims taking western slaves, there is no reason why the same logic can't apply in reverse - ie why not say the muslims were waging war against the west to stop the enslavement of muslims? Its obviously a dumb argument to make, but no more so than yours.

Bans on slavery in the west began prior to the Barbary wars. The anti-slavery movement had been active for a very long time.

In any case, why would you expect the west to permit Muslims to wage war on them in a quest for slaves until slavery had been entirely eradicated in the west? Is this some idiotic Islamic notion of fairness? Or are you just upset that the west won and brought an end to institutionalised sex slavery, thus depriving Muslims of the primary historical mechanism for spreading Islam?

Quote:

Because they were not. Though I am not surprised that a Muslim would simply discard the facts when they are inconvenient. They were following Muhammad's example of stealing everything they could, killing anyone who stood in their way, and catching slaves whenever they were in a position to do so.

Western nations killed a lot of Muslims to bring the slave trade to an end. They destroyed the Barbary slave trading ports. They followed this up with more of that "foreign interference" Muslims constantly whine about to end local slave trade and eventually free slaves in the Muslim world.

Contrary to your Islam-inspired BS spin, the timing of this is entirely consistent with the ending of slavery in the west. Meanwhile, Australian Muslims today are still travelling across the world to die for ISIS and participate in the newly resurrected Islamic trade in sex slaves. They do this in the name of Islam, not because it is all George Bush's fault. The west is still leading Muslim nations by the nose into the 19th century.

Yes it is an 'et tu' argument - but not the way you think.

Your kindergarten logic that the west made war on the muslim world to stop slavery is flawed on two counts: 1. this supposedly anti-slave west was itself enjoying a thriving slave industry of its own at the time of the war you cite and 2. if the war was in response to the muslims taking western slaves, there is no reason why the same logic can't apply in reverse - ie why not say the muslims were waging war against the west to stop the enslavement of muslims? Its obviously a dumb argument to make, but no more so than yours.


You've done it now, G. FD's going to put you in Spineless Apologetics for saying the Muslims invaded us in the name of Freeeeedom.

Bans on slavery in the west began prior to the Barbary wars. The anti-slavery movement had been active for a very long time.

In any case, why would you expect the west to permit Muslims to wage war on them in a quest for slaves until slavery had been entirely eradicated in the west? Is this some idiotic Islamic notion of fairness? Or are you just upset that the west won and brought an end to institutionalised sex slavery, thus depriving Muslims of the primary historical mechanism for spreading Islam?

Because they were not. Though I am not surprised that a Muslim would simply discard the facts when they are inconvenient. They were following Muhammad's example of stealing everything they could, killing anyone who stood in their way, and catching slaves whenever they were in a position to do so.

Western nations killed a lot of Muslims to bring the slave trade to an end. They destroyed the Barbary slave trading ports. They followed this up with more of that "foreign interference" Muslims constantly whine about to end local slave trade and eventually free slaves in the Muslim world.

Contrary to your Islam-inspired BS spin, the timing of this is entirely consistent with the ending of slavery in the west. Meanwhile, Australian Muslims today are still travelling across the world to die for ISIS and participate in the newly resurrected Islamic trade in sex slaves. They do this in the name of Islam, not because it is all George Bush's fault. The west is still leading Muslim nations by the nose into the 19th century.


That's right. Look how successful we are at leading the Saudis by the nose.

We're bringing them Freeeedom. Every day, in every way, things keep getting better and better, no?

muslims are exactly where you'd expect them to be, after 1400 years of islam.

How can anything be other than what it is, as muslims are totally subservient to the ravings of a deformed psychopath muhammad.

He created islam by giving his moon god allah a refashion.

Under muhammads' lunacy, the ancient moon god allah became a monotheistic god of hatred, muhammad taught that killing was compulsory, non-muslims and muslims who are considered to be hypocrites and corrupters are to be slaughtered by the higher grade of muslims.

These muslim assassins are to be given hour'is and little boys as a reward for their foul atrocities committed against mankind.

This is exactly what is happening today 1400 years later.

The irony is that many muslims who are the legitimate target of the killer muslims, are so deluded and brain washed they actually lie to try and excuse the very cause of all islamic terror problems (islamic doctrine).

The blood will always flow until truth prevails and someone (muslims and apologists), decide to question the perversion in the qur'an.

The first problem here is you labelling the Barbery Wars a "quest for slaves". At the very least you are being disingenuous. From your own source:

At issue was the Barbary pirates' demand for tribute from American merchant vessels in the Mediterranean Sea. If ships of a given country failed to pay, pirates would attack the ship and take their goods, and often enslave crew members or hold them for ransom.

And the Maltese and other Christian pirates who raped and pillaged and traded hundreds of thousands of muslim slaves - what sinister prophet were they following? Perhaps they were secretly muslim.

On planet earth, in the actual past, western nations killed a lot of muslims to build themselves extraordinarily profitable empires.

In the process they directly slaughtered or were responsible for the death of more people than at any time in the history of mankind. Even more than the muslims. This was in pursuit of wealth, not some altruistic campaign against slavery or rape.

Well yes, but we did try. Every little bit helps, you know.

If the Muselman won't accept our help, what to do?

We installed marvellous despots to take care of them, and this is the thanks we get. Well I'm sorry, Muslims, but you could learn to show a little more gratitude and respect.

Typical.

Then you have a reading comprehension problem. Here it is again:

At issue was the Barbary pirates' demand for tribute from American merchant vessels in the Mediterranean Sea.

Its estimated the Europeans had around 1 million muslim slaves during the 'Barbary' period, which was roughly the same as the number of European slaves held by the Barbary states. In light of this, explain to me FD how your fairy tale about one side representing the evil slavers and one side representing the noble anti-slavers stacks up?

Rubbish. We are/were occupying Iraq and Afghanistan for the purposes of eliminating the threat of terrorists and attempting to create stability. And if that means propping up anti democracy, and strongmen who directly work against democracy (eg Karzai, Al-Maliki) - we have proven we are willing to do so.

- estimates between 2-13 million in Congo alone during King Leopold's brutal rule

- would you care to hazard a guess as to how many millions of native Indians were slaughtered by European imperialists In South, Central and North America combined? I think we can safely assume it runs into the millions.

True, G, but we did all that to bring them Freeeeeedom.

We went in to free the slaves, stop the cannibals and stand up for women's rights.

That's FD's case, and we're sticking to it.

What do you think would have happened to American merchants if the Americans had not paid this tribute?

If, as you claim, the Barbarians were doing this to end the slavery of Muslims, why did they not demand this instead of tribute?

Quote:

One side represents the people who brought slavery to an end, both internally and externally. The other side is the group who had to have this imposed on them and to this day are trying to reintroduce institutionalised sex slavery as a mechanism for spreading their religion. Nothing you have said actually contradicts this. Your only complaint appears to be that Muslim slavers were not given the free reign to rape and pillage you seem to think they deserve.

You are throwing out a lot of claims without backing them up, such as:

Quote:
Its estimated the Europeans had around 1 million muslim slaves during the 'Barbary' period, which was roughly the same as the number of European slaves held by the Barbary states.


Quote:

Where did you get these claims from Gandalf? Is this the one where the British are at fault for a drought in India?

Quote:

And if that means propping up anti democracy, and strongmen who directly work against democracy (eg Karzai, Al-Maliki) - we have proven we are willing to do so.


So you actually agree we are hanging around to set up democracy, but just disagree with the spin that we are hanging round to set up democracy? Does it bother you that every little step the Muslim world takes towards civilised society is by direct intervention from non-Muslim nations? The Arab spring gave birth to ISIS. The only hope for these Muslims is to be babysat by the very people they blame for all their problems.

Possible enslavement. But it doesn't make it a "quest for slaves". The "quest" was quite clearly the payment of tribute. Or as your own source clearly states: At issue was the Barbary pirates' demand for tribute from American merchant vessels in the Mediterranean Sea. It doesn't say "at issue was the Barbary pirates taking of slaves" or similar. It was at most a side issue - and an issue that clearly both sides were equally engaging in.

The second claim is stating the bleeding obvious. Shall we add them up FD? How many Indians in North, central and South America died because of European imperialism/greed? Into the millions, no question. How many Africans were slaughtered as a result of the European rape of their resources? Estimated between 2-13 million in Congo alone during just a few short years of King Leopold's reign of terror. And thats barely scratching the surface. We haven't even talked about the rape and pillage of Asia. Can you think of any other period in history of roughly the same time frame in which as many people were slaughtered or died as a direct result of imperialism? I doubt the muslims even came close to that death toll even in 1400 years.

How on earth did you get that from what I said?

Again, we are (were) in Iraq and Afghanistan to stop the threat of terrorism, not see the set up democracy. And usually that means supporting and propping up distinctly anti-democratic and corrupt thugs like Karzai and Maliki.

It doesn't say taking of slaves because the Americans were paying tribute as an alternative to becoming victims of Islamic slavery. Now, see if you can join the dots. Would you say that the paying of tribute was connected to the issue of slavery?

Gee, G, you're being ever so nice to FD by proposing that we invaded Iraq to fight terrorism.

I say, weren't we there to ban Islam? I think you'll find that's just why FD changed his mind.

Of course it is. But it doesn't make it a "quest for slaves". The "quest" was to extort money from merchant vessels - not to round up slaves.

Are you serious? You seriously don't think that European imperialism hasn't killed millions? Here you go, this is a good a starting point as any:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrocities_in_the_Congo_Free_State

Quote:
It is argued that the reduction in the Congo was atypical and can be attributed to the direct and indirect effects of colonial rule and especially to disease and falling birthrate.[15] Estimates of the size of the overall population decline (or mortality displacement) remain disputed but range between two and 13 million.[b]


There you go FD - "millions" in just one of the many examples of European imperialism pillage and plunder.

Or how about the Spanish in South America?

Clearly the US is keen on establishing something that they can label as a "democracy" for obvious PR purposes. The question is what that actually is in practice. Common sense dictates that where they still have a say on the matter (which is not really the case for Iraq anymore), they are not going to "try" to achieve, or even allow to happen a democratic outcome that threatens their interests. An obvious example would be the free and fair election of the Taliban, or similar. Much the same as when the EU, with US support, acted swiftly to punish the Palestinians economically for the free and fair election of Hamas in 2006. The US's track record in both Iraq and Afghanistan - eg propping up anti-democratic despots, and suppressing genuine grassroots democratic movements - confirms this common sense view.

Black slaves in islam?

a selection from this site tells us

In the over 13 centuries of the Arab slave trade in Africa unknown number of Africans were enslaved and shipped to the Middle East. It is claimed that a vast majority of the male black slaves, estimated at around 80%, were castrated.

The Caliphate in Baghdad at the beginning of the 10th Century had 7,000 black eunuchs and 4,000 white eunuchs in his palace. The Arab slave trade typically dealt in the sale of castrated male slaves. Black boys at the age of eight to twelve had their scrotum and penis completely amputated. Around 9 out of 10 bled to death during the procedure, but
the high price brought by eunuchs on the market made the practice profitable.

while parts of this site say

Black Slavery in the Middle East
It was more widespread and brutal than the American counterpart


The United States abolished the importation of slaves in 1808. Before that, 361,000 African slaves had been imported into English-speaking North America. [1] Through natural increase, their number in the United States rose to 1.75 million in 1825 and 4.5 million in 1861. By contrast, from the time of the Arab conquest of the Middle East in the seventh century, approximately 14 million black slaves were imported into the area that extends from Morocco through Iran.

&

Consequently, of the 3,000 female slaves emancipated in Zanzibar in 1860, only five percent had ever had a child. [5] Many of the children born to slave women were murdered. In 1856, the Anti-Slave Reporter observed that in Constantinople, the murder of the babies of black slave women was practiced “as a matter of course and without the least remorse.” As a result, in Constantinople, “it was commonplace for Turkish gentlemen to have numerous [black] concubines, [but] it was rare to see a mulatto.” [6]

then this one says in part


Another extremely cruel, dehumanizing and degrading aspect of Islamic slavery was the large-scale castration of male captives

&

it becomes evident that the overwhelming majority of the black slaves of the Islamic world were castrated;

&

The third reason for the high demand for eunuchs was homosexual infatuation of many Muslim rulers, generals and nobles. Eunuchs, kept for carnal indulgence, also called ghilman, used to be handsome young boys. They used to wear ‘rich and attractive uniforms and often beautified and perfumed their bodies in effeminate fashion.’ The concept
of ghilman comes from the following verses of the Quran, which describes heavenly male attendants (ghilman) in paradise:'

*‘Round about them will serve, (devoted) to them, young male servants (handsome) as Pearls well guarded.’ [Quran 52:24]
*‘There wait on them immortal youths, with bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring.’ [Quran 56:17–18]
*'Round about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): If thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls. Quran 76:19

Why restrict your comparison to North America? Was it because you were afraid to reveal the fact that in the slave trades, the total figures between the two civilizations are actually comparable?

Meanwhile, in actual, non cherry-picked history:

Quote:
Current estimates are that about 12 million Africans were shipped across the Atlantic,[5] although the number purchased by the traders was considerably higher, as the passage had a high death rate.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_trade

So an estimated total of 12 million slaves arrived alive in the Americas (little bit more than 361 thousand) - in a 300 year or so period. Compared to (your source's) estimate of 13 million slaves traded in the entire area Iran to Morocco over a period of around 1400 years.

Does that change the perspective somewhat moses?

Are you serious? You seriously don't think that European imperialism hasn't killed millions? Here you go, this is a good a starting point as any:


Were the Europeans responsible for disease, famine and falling birth rate?

And also, there was far more to your claim than that. Where did you get the actual claim from? Did you research it independently, or did you parrot something your Imam told you and now seek out some kind of validation?

Wasn't this mostly attributable to disease also?

Quote:

Would it be fair to say they pursue this goal by creating an actual democracy? And would it also be fair to say that the PR purposes are a reflection of the value placed on democracy by voters in the west?

Quote:

I'd say they are a bit more focussed on killing off ISIS than interfering. Also, the west was highly critical of the religious exclusion that happened through democratic processes in Iraq and has sought to interfere by making the government more inclusive. Hardly sinister stuff, Gandalf. You have to be pretty desperate for excuses to blame the evil west for the problems Muslims create for themselves to use that as an example.

Quote:

Are you suggesting that the presence of democracy is a get-out-of-jail-free card for the consequences of government policy? Isn't that like saying it was wrong to depose Hitler because he was elected?

My perspective has not changed one iota gandi.

I, as most normal people do, have an inbuilt aversion to slavery, I know it is wrong.

Where does my antipathy come from?

I am fortunate enough to have been born in an era and civilization, where slavery is an abomination.

However I know slavery was widely accepted in most societies from the dawn of time.

When the campaign to abolish slavery began, somewhere around about 250 years ago, my perception is that it was white people from Europe (Britain / France etc.) and America, who were at the very forefront of the movement to abolish slavery.

It most certainly was not any muslims who were agitating for the end of slavery 250 years ago.

Also the practice of "complete" castrates, which means their penis and testicles were cut off (eunuchs), is one of the most depraved and putrid evils of the slave trade,

Who relished in this evil deed gandi?

muslims loved it.

At least the American and European wanted entire slaves as this meant they could breed more slaves and not have to buy them.

So for my part I think muslims should hang their head in shame when it comes to the subject of slavery.

muslims were slave traders from day one of islam, they murdered babies who were born of their black concubines, they slaughtered untold millions of black males who did not survive the "complete castration" (eunuchs) process.

muslims are a sick people with their bacha bazi” and ghilman, a perverted qur'an which promises these little boys in allahs' brothel in the sky.

When it comes to slavery and depraved behaviour towards their fellow man gandi, muslims are at the very bottom of the heap.

It is literally the only source I have quoted on the subject, and you requoted it in its entirety - clearly without even having read it. Who is playing silly games now? Estimated around 1 million muslim slaves taken based on extrapolation of known figures. Comparable to the number of European slaves taken by muslims. So can we start whining about Europeans 'raping and pillaging' and, oh yes, your favourite ' "depopulating" muslim lands in some barbaric "quest for slaves"? (which by the way, since I evidently need to keep pointing it out - is just a stupid argument as yours)

freediver wrote on Oct 26th, 2017 at 7:24pm:

European diseases like small pox? - obviously. Particularly when they were spread deliberately. Do you seriously think that massive cultural and upheaval that comes with invasion and brutal occupation, along with all the terror campaigns that come with that - is not going to have an adverse impact on things like birth rates and famine?

Or shall we ask wikipedia? Remember, wikipedia is rock solid, otherwise it would be corrected within half an hour - remember?

1. Congo:

Quote:
It is argued that the reduction in the Congo was atypical and can be attributed to the direct and indirect effects of colonial rule and especially to disease and falling birthrate.[15] Estimates of the size of the overall population decline (or mortality displacement) remain disputed but range between two and 13 million.[b]


2. South America:

Quote:
With the initial conquest of the Americas completed, the Spanish implemented the encomienda system. In theory, encomienda placed groups of indigenous peoples under Spanish oversight to foster cultural assimilation and conversion to Christianity, but in practice led to the legally sanctioned exploitation of natural resources and forced labor under brutal conditions with a high death rate. Though the Spaniards did not set out to exterminate the indigenous peoples, believing their numbers to be inexhaustible, their actions led to the annihilation of entire tribes such as the Arawak.[33] In the 1760s, an expedition despatched to fortify California, led by Gaspar de Portolà and Junípero Serra, was marked by slavery, forced conversions and genocide through the introduction of disease.


freediver wrote on Oct 26th, 2017 at 7:24pm:

That there were more people slaughtered by European colonialism than at any other period previously seen in history? I call it stating the bleeding obvious - and yes, I made it up. Because its so bleeding obvious. Shall we add them up? few million in the Americas, few million in Africa, probably a few million in Asia - thats quite a few million, in a shockingly small period of time (~300 years). FD can you think of any other period prior to that, of around 300 years (or even longer if you like), where so many people have been killed as a result of imperialism (or any other action)? Obviously not - why? Because at no other point in history did any power have such reach, such technology and such power to cause so much destruction. Not because Europeans are inherently bad - and I'm sure the muslims would have done similar if they had the technology and wealth the Europeans had. It was the first time in which the world became "global". Before that, people just concentrated on slaughtering/subjugating in their own isolated little pockets. Even when empires grew big (eg Mongols, muslim), they didn't have the technology or resources to create as much destruction as the Europeans could. Of course the Europeans have exceeded themselves even of that impressive feat - as we saw from the near-apocalyptic carnage of WWI and WWII.

No. Creating an "actual democracy" wouldn't involve allowing Karzai to rig elections, or vetting candidates before they were allowed to stand.

You are really answering your own question regarding why the US wouldn't establish an "actual democracy" in Afghanistan or Iraq. It goes back to my  point about common sense. If the west is going to oppose and actively undermine a group like Hamas in the event that they are democratically elected - and let me be clear, they may well be justified in doing so - why on earth would they facilitate their election in the first place? Thus the US would never countenance the possibility that belligerent candidates such as the Taliban could some day be freely and fairly elected to power in Afghanistan. So they take steps to ensure that is never a possibility in the first place. That is why they vet candidates before election and dictate who can and cannot stand for election. You're not seriously saying an "actual democracy" involves voting only for candidates that have been pre-approved by a foreign occupying power are you?

In what percentage of new world deaths would you say the disease was deliberately spread?

Are you also holding Europeans accountable for the cases that were not deliberate?

No Gandalf. I am asking you to stop being a slippery Muslim and back up what you actually said:

Quote:
Its estimated the Europeans had around 1 million muslim slaves during the 'Barbary' period, which was roughly the same as the number of European slaves held by the Barbary states.


Quote:

Which of these are you trying to pass someone else's writing off as your own? Where did you get these claims from?

Quote:
No. Creating an "actual democracy" wouldn't involve allowing Karzai to rig elections, or vetting candidates before they were allowed to stand.


So it is only a real democracy if people can only get elected if we allow them to, but it is also not a democracy if we vet the candidates? Are you trying to define democracy out of existence?

Quote:

Because supporting democracy is not the same thing as giving elected leaders free reign on the global stage. Your point is completely irrelevant. Whether Hamas gets elected democratically has nothing at all to do with whether they get on with other governments. Democracy merely allows the population to correct the problem internally. It does not force them to, as the case of Hamas shows.

Quote:
Thus the US would never countenance the possibility that belligerent candidates such as the Taliban could some day be freely and fairly elected to power in Afghanistan. So they take steps to ensure that is never a possibility in the first place.


This is not possible Gandalf. You cannot control eternity. Democracy provides the mechanism for the majority to seize power and wield it how they will. It is inevitable that this will happen, no matter how many constraints it starts off with. The people will either lose democracy completely, or take charge of it. The middle ground that you suggest is our real agenda is inherently unstable.

Your suggestion flies in the face of common sense. If we did not want the Iraqi and Afghan people to control their own countries, then setting up democracy would be the last thing we would do, even if we only got them 80% of the way there.

Quote:
That is why they vet candidates before election and dictate who can and cannot stand for election. You're not seriously saying an "actual democracy" involves voting only for candidates that have been pre-approved by a foreign occupying power are you?


No. Nor does it involve occupying the country. Nor does it involve killing leaders, like we did with Saddam. Are you seriously suggesting we plan on doing any of these things indefinitely? Does that pass your common sense test?

Yes. The diseases didn't spread because of some benign, innocent non-disruptive contact with the natives. They spread because the imperialistic Europeans barged in uninvited to rape and pillage and make slaves. But please, feel free to demonstrate your ability in spin and give us a jolly yarn about how imperialists who invade in order to rape and pillage - are somehow not responsible for the decimating effects of the small pox and common cold viruses they bring along with them.

Are you now clear on the "easily above 1 million" (not my quote) muslim slave claim? Or would you like me to explain more about what you have already seen and requoted? The other claim, "In the process they directly slaughtered or were responsible for the death of more people than at any time in the history of mankind." - as already clearly explained is my own claim, that is based on the bleeding obvious. Do you need me to go through the figures again? By the way, you haven't answered my question - can you think of any other period in history where the actions of one power or civilization was responsible - indirectly and directly for so many deaths? You do agree that it runs into the millions right? Its almost certain that the muslims didn't even come close to creating as much death and suffering in 1400 years as the Europeans achieved in a mere ~300 years - wouldn't you agree?

And constrained they most definitely are at the moment - by the US and her allies, who
will not allow an "actual democracy" while ever they have the power to control Afghanistan. You're not disputing this basic point - despite your protestations that the US is somehow "trying" to establish democracy. Really, the only argument you can make here is that Afghan democracy will "inevitably" take flight, but only after the US either relinquishes control, or is forced out of Afghanistan politics. Even if you retreat to a "democracy was only possible because of US action" argument - its very different from the one you are attempting here - that the US is trying to create an "actual democracy". That is not their aim IMO - their aim is to eliminate the threat of terrorism. And no, I don't accept that (at least in the minds of US policy makers), creating a true democracy is the best remedy for that. The history of US active suppression of true democratic movements in regions of strategic interest suggests the exact opposite.


freediver wrote on Oct 27th, 2017 at 12:36pm:

Indeed it is - but just because a particular policy direction is clearly bad and short-sighted and makes things "inherently unstable", doesn't mean US leaders won't pursue it anyway. And its evident that the US in recent years have quite a flare for "inherently unstable" when it comes to their ventures in the middle east - wouldn't you agree?

Your own personal theory on whats the best system to create stable and safe governments for western interests is entirely irrelevant to what western leaders think and do. As it turns out, there are plenty of examples in history (Iran, Chile, Nicuragua) where the US has done the exact opposite of what you suggest here. Instead they decided in their wisdom, to create despots who tirelessly suppressed democratic movements.

Plenty of examples? Your examples, G, are the rule. Uncle has never tried to establish "democracy" in another country, including Afghanistan and Iraq. The US even avoids the description of democracy for itself.

The jig's up. FD's silly Freeedom ruse  got called out in Iraq. He's been shown all this, G, time and time again. We had these chats before you even came here. The pre-2007 FD once had them himself. Remember, FD once said exactly what you're saying now. No speaka da English, no?

The post-2007 FD is an imposter. The best he can do is complain about your spelling.

Gandalf, this is what your quote said:

Systematic research on the demography and treatment of Muslim slaves in early modern Europe still remains to be done.

How do you get from that to these two claims:

Quote:
Its estimated the Europeans had around 1 million muslim slaves during the 'Barbary' period, which was roughly the same as the number of European slaves held by the Barbary states.


Quote:
In the process they directly slaughtered or were responsible for the death of more people than at any time in the history of mankind.

Yes. The diseases didn't spread because of some benign, innocent non-disruptive contact with the natives. They spread because the imperialistic Europeans barged in uninvited to rape and pillage and make slaves


That's how the flu spreads, is it? by rape and pillage?

Quote:
Are you now clear on the "easily above 1 million" (not my quote) muslim slave claim?


You source claims to extrapolate to this number for all of Europe and for the entire early modern period.

Quote:
The other claim, "In the process they directly slaughtered or were responsible for the death of more people than at any time in the history of mankind." - as already clearly explained is my own claim, that is based on the bleeding obvious. Do you need me to go through the figures again?


Sure. Let's start with the total, which for some reason you are reluctant to give.

Quote:
And constrained they most definitely are at the moment


So I ask again Gandalf, are you seriously suggesting we plan on doing any of these things indefinitely? Does that pass your common sense test? Are you really arguing that the need for military intervention to establish democracy mean we are not actually establishing democracy because of the military intervention?

Quote:
You're not disputing this basic point - despite your protestations that the US is somehow "trying" to establish democracy.


Yes I am. I am saying it is inevitable, and the US and allies do what they do knowing this. You cannot give people a say in how they are governed at the same time as expecting to maintain control of the situation.

Quote:
Really, the only argument you can make here is that Afghan democracy will "inevitably" take flight, but only after the US either relinquishes control, or is forced out of Afghanistan politics.


Duh. The US will leave when they leave. They will either leave voluntarily or will be forced out. Great insight there Gandalf. Do you have a point, or are you just desperate to dismiss the bleeding obvious - that the west is dragging the Muslim world by the nose into the 19th century - as some kind of sinister conspiracy?

Quote:
Indeed it is - but just because a particular policy direction is clearly bad and short-sighted and makes things "inherently unstable"


You miss the point Gandalf. I am not criticising it for 'creating instability'. I am saying that what you pretend is our true agenda is a condition that cannot go on existing. It will either transition to functioning democracy or revert back to dictatorship. You mistake a transition to fully functional democracy as implying violent instability.

Quote:
Your own personal theory on whats the best system to create stable and safe governments for western interests is entirely irrelevant to what western leaders think and do.


What is this theory of mine Gandalf?

Has Gandalf discussed the Islamic death penalty for blasphemy or like the usual muslim bullshit has he deflected the topic to talk about anything else to avoid the topic of death for blasphemy?  Roll Eyes

That we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq to establish freedom and democracy, silly. Nothing could be further from the truth. The US has all but acknowledged this. Back in the day, you acknowledged it. You changed your mind, remember?

In Afghanistan, the US installed Karzai, a corporate gas man who had lived in the US. They then supported election fraud to keep him in power for his 4 term limit. Apparently, he now wields power from behind the throne.

In Iraq, the US installed Brenner, a Republican crony, who rewrote the Iraqi constitution and held off on elections for 4 years while he fielded candidates and banned the entire political and administrative caste from office.

Prior to these "democracies", the US installed dictators in every country they invaded or sent the CIA into. From The Shah of Iran to General Diem to Pinochet, the US has never supported democracy in the developing world. It installs dictators for a reason: they keep the oil, crops and US business going. They have minimal taxes for foreign investment, they provide massive development contracts to US businesses, and they allow foreign (US) ownership of land, water and resources. They set up loans and keep the regime drowned in debt.

Any democracy or revolution would put a stop to this. Whenever this did happen, the US quietly stepped in and ousted them. The only exception?

Castro. Over 50 CIA-acknowledged assassination attempts and no luck.

Of course it's a conspiracy. The 1954 Guatemalan coup was a conspiracy between the CIA and the American United Fruit Company, as every schoolboy knows.

The CIA ousted the democratically elected Jacobo Arbenz and installed the military dictatorship of Carlos Armas.

Arbenz, you see, had introduced a minimum wage and land reforms. United Fruit didn't like it. The Eisenhower administration's Allen Dulles, CIA Director, and John Foster Dulles, Secretary of State, were major shareholders. Their coup was codenamed Operation PBSUCCESS.

What kind of crops?

Er, Fruit, I think.

The US is a conspiracy between the US government and its corporations. At the end of his administration, Eisenhower came out to expose this. He called this conspiracy the Military-Industrial Complex.

Freeedom, innit.

They neglected to invade the country that carried out Sept 11 because, you know, the Saudis have a precious resource: oil.

No, old boy, I don't think the Saudis export sand. Oil.

Back in 2001 it was all Uncle thought about. That was before they found their own oil.

You'd think they would have tried a bit harder, no? There's no way they'd invade Iraq now.

You changed your mind too, isn't it? Nothing to do with oil, of course.

Oil is a global commodity. It's no use to Iraq, Iran, Saudis etc if it cannot be traded.

It is a lot easier and cheaper for the US to assert its market dominance than to occupy any country for 'oil'. It makes no sense. How much of US oil came from Iraq before the war? None.
How much is the US importing from Iraq now?? 

The top five source countries of U.S. petroleum imports in 2016 were Canada, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Mexico, and Colombia. 
No Iraq, no Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, etc.


The 'US did it for oil' is a pedestrian, idiotic argument.  Just the thing for you to advance.

This is why the US would not be invading now, old chap. They invaded then because Iraq had the second biggest oil reserves in 2003. The US was in recession. Oil prices were at an all-time high.

You might have noticed the ramped-up US rhetoric on Venezuela. They're now on the US sht list. Ultimately though, oil prices are down, so no one's invading any Ayrabs or Injuns. Not unless they can find a market for sand or mud.

But I'm curious. Why did you change the neoconservative position you held in 2001?

Was it always absolutely never ever or squishy, evasive yeah-but-no-but spinelessness?

Civilisable? Come come, you remember Sir Reggie's story about Mustapha Khunt's calling card. You retold it enough times.

You know very well the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq were about punishing the dirty Khunts. As you said, you would have gone further and recolonised all the tinted lands. You had as much of a chuckle about democratising them as you do now about your own youth.

As you well know, you were never young, old boy. You were aged from birth.

And we wouldn't have it any other way.

You source claims to extrapolate to this number for all of Europe and for the entire early modern period.


I never claimed it was anything else.

FD why the games about no source and no link? You've clearly found it now. Did you just not see it at the time you were throwing round your usual childish "slippery muslim" slurs?

Quote:
Sure. Let's start with the total, which for some reason you are reluctant to give.


I don't know the total FD - there are just too many. I do know though that it runs into the many millions - just in Congo alone. Another 8 million or so in Spanish occupied America.

Can you think of any other period in history where so many were killed as a result of the actions of one civilization/power? You do agree that even over 1400 years the muslims didn't even come close to the death and destruction reaped by the Europeans in a mere ~300 years - right? You seem reluctant to address this point.

Quote:
That's how the flu spreads, is it? by rape and pillage?


In this case, yes. Do you agree that native American populations wouldn't have been decimated by European diseases if the Europeans hadn't invaded them to rape and pillage their lands? A simple yes or no will suffice.

Quote:
the need for military intervention to establish democracy


Here's your first problem FD - this flawed premise. If you actually believe the US goes around invading countries "to establish democracy", then there's not much more that can be said.

Quote:
Duh. The US will leave when they leave. They will either leave voluntarily or will be forced out. Great insight there Gandalf. Do you have a point, or are you just desperate to dismiss the bleeding obvious


My "point" - which is bleeding obvious - is that arguing that Afghanistan will inevitably become democratic after the US leave is not an argument that the US intended or wanted this all along. My personal view is that the fear of an "actual democracy" emerging in Afghanistan is whats prompting the US to stay longer than they probably would have otherwise.

Quote:
You miss the point Gandalf. I am not criticising it for 'creating instability'. I am saying that what you pretend is our true agenda is a condition that cannot go on existing.


I know you are FD. But just because you think this, and probably even the US policy makers think this - it doesn't mean they will do it. Democratic governments plan on very short-term timelines, and while they may understand there may be long term problems cause by short term expediency, luckily for them they won't be around to deal with it. I'm sure you understand only too well this problem in relation to climate change policies. Trump, for example, recently announced there will be no timeline for exiting Afghanistan. And while this may be seen as prudent in terms of not letting the enemy know exactly how long they have to "wait it out", another interpretation is that Trump simply wants to leave the difficult decisions related to an exit strategy to the next administration.

Then you have a reading comprehension problem. Here it is again:

At issue was the Barbary pirates' demand for tribute from American merchant vessels in the Mediterranean Sea.

Its estimated the Europeans had around 1 million muslim slaves during the 'Barbary' period, which was roughly the same as the number of European slaves held by the Barbary states. In light of this, explain to me FD how your fairy tale about one side representing the evil slavers and one side representing the noble anti-slavers stacks up?

Rubbish. We are/were occupying Iraq and Afghanistan for the purposes of eliminating the threat of terrorists and attempting to create stability. And if that means propping up anti democracy, and strongmen who directly work against democracy (eg Karzai, Al-Maliki) - we have proven we are willing to do so.

How many Gandalf?


- estimates between 2-13 million in Congo alone during King Leopold's brutal rule

- would you care to hazard a guess as to how many millions of native Indians were slaughtered by European imperialists In South, Central and North America combined? I think we can safely assume it runs into the millions.

The first problem here is you labelling the Barbery Wars a "quest for slaves". At the very least you are being disingenuous. From your own source:

At issue was the Barbary pirates' demand for tribute from American merchant vessels in the Mediterranean Sea. If ships of a given country failed to pay, pirates would attack the ship and take their goods, and often enslave crew members or hold them for ransom.

They were following Muhammad's example of stealing everything they could, killing anyone who stood in their way, and catching slaves whenever they were in a position to do so.


And the Maltese and other Christian pirates who raped and pillaged and traded hundreds of thousands of muslim slaves - what sinister prophet were they following? Perhaps they were secretly muslim.

freediver wrote on Oct 24th, 2017 at 12:33pm:
Western nations killed a lot of Muslims to bring the slave trade to an end. They destroyed the Barbary slave trading ports. They followed this up with more of that "foreign interference" Muslims constantly whine about to end local slave trade and eventually free slaves in the Muslim world.


On planet earth, in the actual past, western nations killed a lot of muslims to build themselves extraordinarily profitable empires. In fact they occupied virtually all of the muslim world at one point - as well as great swathes of the rest of the world. In the process they directly slaughtered or were responsible for the death of more people than at any time in the history of mankind. Even more than the muslims. This was in pursuit of wealth, not some altruistic campaign against slavery or rape.

That we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq to establish freedom and democracy, silly. Nothing could be further from the truth. The US has all but acknowledged this. Back in the day, you acknowledged it. You changed your mind, remember? 



Yeah, the US did it to control the world's rubble market.  It is a precious resource that you can't get on the open market like you can buy, say, oil.



The US did it as revenge for Sept 11, old boy.

They neglected to invade the country that carried out Sept 11 because, you know, the Saudis have a precious resource: oil.



And sand.



No, old boy, I don't think the Saudis export sand. Oil.

Back in 2001 it was all Uncle thought about. That was before they found their own oil.

You'd think they would have tried a bit harder, no? There's no way they'd invade Iraq now.

You changed your mind too, isn't it? Nothing to do with oil, of course.

What changed your mind, old chap?

Oil is a global commodity. It's no use to Iraq, Iran, Saudis etc if it cannot be traded.

It is a lot easier and cheaper for the US to assert its market dominance than to occupy any country for 'oil'. It makes no sense. How much of US oil came from Iraq before the war? None.
How much is the US importing from Iraq now?? 

The top five source countries of U.S. petroleum imports in 2016 were Canada, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Mexico, and Colombia. 
No Iraq, no Afghanistan, Kuwait, Qatar, etc.


The 'US did it for oil' is a pedestrian, idiotic argument.  Just the thing for you to advance.



This is why the US would not be invading now, old chap. They invaded then because Iraq had the second biggest oil reserves in 2003. The US was in recession. Oil prices were at an all-time high.

You might have noticed the ramped-up US rhetoric on Venezuela. They're now on the US sht list. Ultimately though, oil prices are down, so no one's invading any Ayrabs or Injuns. Not unless they can find a market for sand or mud.

But I'm curious. Why did you change the neoconservative position you held in 2001?

Was it always absolutely never ever or squishy, evasive yeah-but-no-but spinelessness?


It's  cheaper and easier just to buy oil on the open market, whatever it's market price, than to invade a country.  For the US to invade anyone for a resource they could easily buy is daft.
It wasn't  for oil, it was for political reasons.

Not at all. The military are just sitting there, doing nothing. The bombs are all made by Uncle's friends. Who cares? The taxpayer will pick up the bill.

Anyway, it depends how much they'll fight back. The US invaded Panama in the 80s - a piece of cake after they bombed the slums, taking out about 60,000.   

Money for jam, innit. The Panama Canal brings in billions in revenues.

The US didn't invade Iraq just for the oil, but the oil security and a military foothold on the Arabian peninsula.

Mission accomplished.

FD is not only clueless about sources someone else quotes - he's even clueless about his own quotes. How embarrassing.

FD perhaps if for once you were more specific about what actual claims of mine you think has "no source, no link", this discussion would be slightly less inane. Why do you just bombard us with a whole block of quotes rather than specifying which actual specific claim(s) you take issue with? I mean you're surely not including the extract from the very wikipedia article that you yourself quoted are you? Surely even you would understand that my preface "from your own source" is a bit of a giveaway right? So why do you include it in your accusation? Your last accusation was still about the 1 million muslim slaves, and pretending I had no source for it. I guess even you realised the game was up on that one when you started referencing that very source yourself.

Why do you always point this out as a suprise, G? There's only one response to FD's no speaka da English game, and that's ah.

The lack of any interesting language of any kind coming out of FD, of course, goes without ah-ing.

Speaking of slippery, why is it you just vaguely quote an entire block that contains about half a dozen claims? Why is that you have never actually specified which claim you take issue with? Is it actually the source for the 1 million muslim slaves claim that you yourself have quoted? Could you enlighten me now FD with something thats sactually coherent?

I quoted both of the posts in their entirety, because you lied about including a link in the original post. I made this pretty obvious at the time.

Then you went on to lie about me not quoting the claims I was asking you about. The many times I have asked you previously to back up what you said, I only quoted the relevant bits.

OK FD, lets play your little game of 'guess what FD is talking about' if you really are going to refuse to give me a straight answer.

I'm guessing - which is what I'm forced to resort to - this is the claim you have issue with:

polite_gandalf wrote on Oct 25th, 2017 at 8:45am:
Its estimated the Europeans had around 1 million muslim slaves during the 'Barbary' period, which was roughly the same as the number of European slaves held by the Barbary states.


yes?

If so, then I'll show you as clearly and simply as I can the source.

It is from the article at this url:
http://www.hum.leiden.edu/history/slavery-studies/news/muslim-slaves.html

and here is the quote giving that particular estimate:

Quote:
If we extrapolate these numbers to all of southern Europe, we easily get above one million and possibly more for the entire early modern period—as is also the case with the Christian slaves on the Barbary Coast, who amounted to at least one million in a conservative estimate.


All quoted and referenced in post# 52 - as previously explained.

Here we have an estimate of the number of muslim slaves taken by Europeans during the "entire early modern era", which according to wikipedia is:

Quote:
Early modern Europe is the period of European history between the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, roughly the late 15th century to the late 18th century.


- which is roughly the same period as the 'Barbary' pirates operated. Its during that time that, according to the article I quoted, roughly the same number of muslim slaves were taken by European pirates as the number of European slaves taken by muslim pirates.

Now, if thats settled, we can move on to whatever other claims you think I haven't sourced. Do I have to guess what that is also?

Systematic research on the demography and treatment of Muslim slaves in early modern Europe still remains to be done.

How do you get from that to these two claims:

Quote:
Its estimated the Europeans had around 1 million muslim slaves during the 'Barbary' period, which was roughly the same as the number of European slaves held by the Barbary states.


this is how I "get" it FD:

Quote:
If we extrapolate these numbers to all of southern Europe, we easily get above one million and possibly more for the entire early modern period—as is also the case with the Christian slaves on the Barbary Coast, who amounted to at least one million in a conservative estimate.


http://www.hum.leiden.edu/history/slavery-studies/news/muslim-slaves.html

FD how are you going to keep up this farce about me lying about sourcing this claim? Let me guess, your next tactic is to say an "extrapolation" is not an "estimation"?

Ask him why he's not answering your questions, FD. Ask him why he's playing the usual slippery Muslim routine. Ask him if he's a jellyfish.

Then you'll be free to answer my questions, ja?

Now now, Matty, I don't just fck TROLLS, you know.

Mind you, you'll have to try a bit harder if you'd like a poke from moi, dear.  Try a decent porkie or two - that usually works.

You are either confused or being deliberately obtuse. Given your persistence with this idiotic "guess what I'm talking about" game of yours, I suspect the latter. What you quoted was simply a restatement of my original source. I have explained this, and I literally don't know how I can be any clearer than I have been.

If the second claim is about European colonial deaths being greater than at any time - there is no source, I stated this from the beginning. As I have said twice already, it is a statement of the bleeding obvious.

As soon as you told me where the original source was, I found it. Surprise surprise. Only problem was I had to go through pages and pages of your slippery Muslim routine to get it. And now you are blaming me for your tapdancing.

There was no need for you to guess what I was asking about, and you lie again to suggest there was. I quoted you many times. You lied by claiming there was a link with the original post, then when I quoted the original post in its entirety to show there was no link you lied about me being unclear, because you were not sure which part of the whole post I was asking you about. At every step of the way we got the slippery Muslim routine from you, and you blaming me for it. As a Muslim, no matter how you behave, you are the victim, right?

I could not have been clearer. I quoted you. I asked where you got it from. I did so from immediately after the post I copied the quote from. You could not have been more evasive. Which is not surprising, given the absurdity of the claims you are making.

so your petty attack on me is no longer that I lied about having a source? Merely that I was "slippery" about where the source was?

freediver wrote on Oct 31st, 2017 at 12:31pm:

If thats true, why did you continue on with the "gandalf's lying about having a source" jihad for several pages after I told you? It went right up until yesterday when you were still whinging about not being able to find any link. This is despite me telling you where the original source was a full 3 days, and 4 pages earlier (post#87)

Can you understand my bemusement when you insinuate that I had no source, complete with your usual petty "slippery muslim" ad-hom routine - right after you directly quoted it? FD do you usually quote something without having a clue as to what its about?

freediver wrote on Oct 31st, 2017 at 12:31pm:

You posted a massive quote bomb which contained at least 3 separate claims - and then tried to pass this off as one claim that I lied about having a source for. How could you possible say with a straight face this "could not have been clearer"? One of the things you quoted was my claim about imperialism deaths that I made abundantly clear from the very beginning had no source, and that it was merely a statement of "the bleeding obvious". I explained this at least 2 times for you FD, and still you quoted it as part of your demand for a source. Why was that FD? I even asked you to clarify what specifically in that massive quote bomb you took issue with - and you responded with your usual childish tantrum.

Its almost as if you deliberately set out to be vague and confusing - so that when I inevitably protest at your vagueness, you can just fall back to your standard 'slippery muslim' ad hom. I'm beginning to think this is a deliberate set strategy of yours.

I said that an invasion for oil would have been idiotic because it is a lot easier and cheaper to buy oil on the open market (and that Iraq is not a major source of oil for the US anyway).  You climbed down a bit and said the invasion was for not for oil but oil security and a foothold.  So I asked you to explain what 'oil security' was achieved or could be achieved by the invasion (and what foothold when the US Fifth Fleet is already the largest US base in the ME).

But, just like Bwian and any other student from the Vicky Pollard School of Mohammedan Logic, you are now onto asking a question about my views - which I gave you already: invasion for oil is a stupid argument and only people like you and Bwian would advance.  SO do tell us about invasions for oil security, Kameel. Then ask a question.

(Re "carpet-bombing" - my doctrine is: give them freedom and self-determination but if they misuse it and turn on you or their own people and their neighbours, kill them. Repeat until pacified and civilised. Is this what you were after?  The alternative is to keep them enslaved by their own monster, making cheap T shirts to pay for chemical weapons and a nuclear program.  Do you want them to make cheap T shirts and nuclear weapons, Kameel, or do you want to give them civilisation and freeeeedom??
(For which they will despise you more than if you killed them, BTW, because you would have demonstrated that they had lived in error for all those centuries. None of the peoples with massive chips on their shoulders about whitey can cope well with that. Is that the white man's burden gotcha you are looking for?))

Tsk tsk indeed. The US invaded Iraq for oil security and a foothold. Would you care to ask me again? You can try to out-do FD in the slippery evasion stakes.

Your kill-them doctrine sounds a little like the old Muslim victimhood ruse to me, dear boy. If they turn on you or their own people or their neighbours? Most cunning.

If they possess WMDs or nuclear fuel rods or you can think of an old Kurd-gassing 20 years ago that you backed on the Security Council, kill them.

What do you think, old boy? Stupid or mendacious?

Well, why not? FD must have missed it.

I do hope you're not saying FD deliberately avoids questions. G!

That would be accusing FD of being a jellyfish. That would be accusing FD of being a cowering, handwringing spineless apologist, too scared to express an opinion or say what he thinks.

I'm sorry, G, that's just not on. FD just misses our questions - and, it would seem, our links.

Cunning, no?

How have they achieved oil security from Iraq? They are not importing from Iraq enough oil to care whether it's secure or not.
What additional foothold do they have that they didn't before?

The US don't need to import oil from Iraq. All they ever wanted was global oil security. The supply of oil - its price - shapes everything. Capitalism is driven by oil. Just look at how the US economy has recovered after the Saudis dropped the price to outbid Iran.

It doesn't matter where you get your crude oil from, it's a global market. There is only one price.

Ultimately, of course, it was all a waste of time. They discovered enough oil in Canada and Alaska to keep things going for years. Whoever would have guessed back in 2003 that God didn't put all the oil under just the "bad guys" land?

You'd think Dick Cheney, ex-Halliburton CEO, would have had more foresight, no? It turns out the invasion of Iraq was a waste of time after all.

But then, you knew that already, right?

Youthful naivety, innit.

No one's saying it went to plan. In fact if you look at the geo-political situation vis Iraq and Iran, we can see that it was a massive backfire. The US wanted a client state that would act as a bulwark against the threat of Iran. What they got was a shia regime that is now closely aligned with Iran - to the extent that Iran are sending in their own troops to secure Iraqi cities from ISIS. Factor in Assad's continued grip on Syria, and Hezbollah remaining in South Lebanon - and you have a continuous shia supply line from Iran all the way to the border of Israel.

Oh, I know. What did Saddam do?

Among other things, he threatened to sell Iraqi oil in Euros rather than dollars. Makes sense, no? The majority of Iraqi oil went to Europe.

But no, that was against the rules.

Ah yes, other things - like gassing the Kurds 20 years previously. Like having a nuclear weapons program. Like possessing WMDs. Like funding al Qaida.

But I'm curious. Where's your graph for the Iraq invasion lowering Saddam's threat to American victims' lives? You show me yours.

Now stop playing cute and admit the real reason Uncle mistook Iraq for Saudi Arabia.

After all, dear boy, did you not blame Islam?

If thats true, why did you continue on with the "gandalf's lying about having a source" jihad for several pages after I told you? It went right up until yesterday when you were still whinging about not being able to find any link. This is despite me telling you where the original source was a full 3 days, and 4 pages earlier (post#87)

Can you understand my bemusement when you insinuate that I had no source, complete with your usual petty "slippery muslim" ad-hom routine - right after you directly quoted it? FD do you usually quote something without having a clue as to what its about?

I could not have been clearer. I quoted you. I asked where you got it from.


You posted a massive quote bomb which contained at least 3 separate claims - and then tried to pass this off as one claim that I lied about having a source for. How could you possible say with a straight face this "could not have been clearer"? One of the things you quoted was my claim about imperialism deaths that I made abundantly clear from the very beginning had no source, and that it was merely a statement of "the bleeding obvious". I explained this at least 2 times for you FD, and still you quoted it as part of your demand for a source. Why was that FD? I even asked you to clarify what specifically in that massive quote bomb you took issue with - and you responded with your usual childish tantrum.

Its almost as if you deliberately set out to be vague and confusing - so that when I inevitably protest at your vagueness, you can just fall back to your standard 'slippery muslim' ad hom. I'm beginning to think this is a deliberate set strategy of yours.


It was crystal clear Gandalf. I quoted the passage I was asking you to back up. How could you possibly be confused about that?

I quoted them several times. You lie again when you accuse me of using a quote bomb that left you unsure which bits I was asking about. I quoted the specific sentences over and over prior to that, and only quoted both posts in their entirety when you lied by claiming the link was in that post. Again, I made it crystal clear that this was the reason for quoting the whole post.

You lied about providing a link in the post. Now, if you provided a link in a different post, which it turns out you did for one of the two quotes I was asking about, the obvious thing to do would be to say so, without doing the slippery Muslim routine for pages and pages. Even better would have been to not pass off the text you copied and pasted as your own words.

I did say so FD. I never said there was a post that contained a link which wasn't there. I only ever said I sourced my claim in the post I quoted it in. I never said I provided the same source in subsequent posts in which the claim was repeated. Why would I? The problem here is that you originally didn't believe me when I said the claim had been sourced in my post - since your first response was a sarcastic 'did you post it here or some random place in the last 6 months'. At first I simply couldn't believe you didn't know what post I was referring to - given that a) it was literally the only source I had posted on the topic in this thread and b) you yourself had directly quoted it. After it became obvious you really were clueless, I provided the post# in which the claim was made. Now that you are unable to sustain your original insinuation that there was no source, you've just resorted to some really incoherent and sad ranting about lying about this and that, and apparently attempted plagiarizing or some such. All because you refuse to pay attention to what people actually post - to the extent that you will actually quote someone without having any idea what that quote says. And then when your (willful) ignorance is called out, you insist the onus is on someone else to spoon feed to you what you flatly refuse to comprehend yourself.

Do you get what I'm saying about you refusing to listen and comprehend what people actually tell you, which causes you to wrongly fly off into incoherent tantrums about "slippery muslims" who won't explain things clearly to you?

Maybe you could ask FD a question about what it actually says, G.

A novel approach, I know.

You are lying again Gandalf. Your first response was to quote some numbers from the Congo and ask me to guess some numbers. The second response was to claim it is stating the bleeding obvious, offering to add the numbers up, then again ask me what the numbers are. This is also the response when you lied about quoting the first source - or is this a vague reference to thefact that it is a direct quote passed off as your own work? Your third response was back to the congo. You did not explain there was no source, though with your slippery Muslim routine it quickly became obvious you were making up nonsense.

Let's consider the claim:

Quote:
On planet earth, in the actual past, western nations killed a lot of muslims to build themselves extraordinarily profitable empires. In fact they occupied virtually all of the muslim world at one point - as well as great swathes of the rest of the world. In the process they directly slaughtered or were responsible for the death of more people than at any time in the history of mankind. Even more than the muslims. This was in pursuit of wealth, not some altruistic campaign against slavery or rape.


I have included the whole paragraph this time. But don't get confused, I have highlighted the bit I am asking you about.

Am I correct that this claim is largely based on you blaming them for diseases that were introduced to the new world, as well as the weather? And that you justify this by characterising the spread of old world diseases through the new world by examples when it was done deliberately? And that you constantly ask me to guess the numbers, but will not say how many you think were killed? It's a bit hard to tell because you cite one or two specific examples as justification for such a sweeping generalisation.

Is the "directly slaughtered" number even significant, or did you just throw this in so it was not so obvious you were comparing the death toll from disease and drought with the Islami prediliction for rape and pillage?

I would like an answer to the question posed too please, FD. I've tried asking it, repeating it, answering all your questions, agreeing with you, saying ah, saying please, and I've tried repeating the question again.

So far, nothing.

Apart from calling you a jellyfish and having you banned, is there a more effective method?

Yes FD, I mentioned the weather didn't I.  Roll Eyes You know what? I think I've been very clear and logical in my point about this, I don't think I'll partake in your little game of 'find novel ways of twisting gandalf's words'. You can either read and understand what I've actually said, and debate like an adult, or stay out of the discussion. And why do you keep accusing me of not wanting to say how many were killed? I have stated at least twice now that I don't know - other than undoubtedly being in the many millions. Do you actually disagree that the number of people killed as a result of European imperialism run into the many millions? You haven't actually said. Presumably because you are terrified of acknowledging the true horror of European colonialism. You don't even have to agree they were morally responsible in all cases (if you really think that inadvertently spreading disease as they raped and pillaged is not their responsibility)

Quote:
the Islami prediliction for rape and pillage?


Do you agree that more people were killed by rape and pillage in just ~300 years of European colonialism than were similarly killed over the entire 1400 years of muslim conquering? Do you reckon the muslims even got close to the 8 million killed by the Spanish in the Americas alone? (and yes I sourced that one)

Some of the evidence you provided did. Did you read your own evidence Gandalf?

Am I wrong Gandalf, or just putting the wrong spin on it?

Quote:
I have stated at least twice now that I don't know - other than undoubtedly being in the many millions.


And "being in the millions" makes it more deaths than any other period in history? Has it dawned on you how silly this is? Is that why you are being so evasive?

So saying I don't know is being evasive is it FD?

Speaking of evasive, can you think of another period in history where so many people were killed by one civilization invading and raping and pillaging so many places? Do you agree that more people died as a result of ~300 years of European invasions and occupations than the number who died as a result of 1400 years of muslim invasions and occupations?

See if you can ignore me again and tell me I'm the evasive one with a straight face.

Given that you won't say how many, I wouldn't know where to begin. But "in the millions" is far from unique, especially for a period spanning centuries. Also, what period of time are you including? After all, we are still occupying Muslim lands, right?

FD, can you name one (1) developing country Uncle has established Freeeedom?

Can you name one (1) Muslim country who killed more than European colonisation?

We'll have a discussion. You know, like in 2007.

They tend to develop very quickly when they adopt freedom and democracy. But for an example, choose any wealthy liberal democracy. Prior to being a wealthy liberal democracy, it was an illiberal, autocratic shithole. Just the way Muhammad likes it.

What do you think, FD? Did the Ottomans kill more decent white people than European civilisation as Matty asserts?

How about the Pakis?

Cunning Islamic cheating but not cunning enough, Kameel.



What time frame are you interested in? Are you talking existing countries or countries that no longer exist?

No worries. Kindly name the grand aggregate of ALL Muslim countries and their Western colonial equivalent - by kill.

The Muslims created the largest land empire that had ever existed in just over a century. They did this by rape and pillage. Then they converted everyone to Islam. Rape was also a big part of that. Despite having the biggest empire that have ever existed, in what had been the wealthiest place on earth for 10000 years, they did not significantly improve living standards, which remained well short of those seen earlier in the same place and at the same time in China. Today, the land that had been the wealthiest for all of human civilisation up till Muhammad is now among the most backwards, poor and oppressive places on earth.

I blame Islam. You?

I most certainly will not. FD's beef with G is over that utilitarian phenomenon known as a number.

G has posted things called figures. FD tried the old no speaka da English ruse for a few pages, but you speak Danish so we know you can keep up.

Try reading the numerals, old boy. Do you take any issue with G's maths?

Have a go, FD. We can discuss the underage marriage figures, FGM and that Jew Moh tortured for his gold when you're done, okay?

Oh, dear, here we go again.  You still refuse to accept that the Mongol Empire was larger than the Muslim Empire, FD?   Tsk, tsk. what is the point in trying to educate you if you refuse to learn?   Roll Eyes

The Mongol empire covered most of the Eurasian landmass, it stretched from Eastern Europe to the Sea of Okst.  From near the Barents Sea to the Persian Gulf.

The Muslim "Empire" (ie, of the First Caliphate) covered only the Arabian Peninsular and it's near surrounds.

Given that you won't say how many, I wouldn't know where to begin. But "in the millions" is far from unique, especially for a period spanning centuries. Also, what period of time are you including? After all, we are still occupying Muslim lands, right?


The period of European colonialism - roughly mid/late 16th century to the end of the 19th century. Thats a good place to begin. I am quite confident that no other preceding period in history of raping and pillaging by one civilization of similar duration has caused even close to so many deaths - let alone devastation and upheaval of the lands they raped and pillaged. What do you think? Do you agree that the muslims wouldn't have come close to this (both deaths and destruction) during their entire 1400 years of conquering? Do you at least concede that diseases that struck non-Europeans as a result of the Europeans invading, raping and pillaging their lands - are deaths as a result of European imperialism?

I most certainly will not. FD's beef with G is over that utilitarian phenomenon known as a number.

G has posted things called figures. FD tried the old no speaka da English ruse for a few pages, but you speak Danish so we know you can keep up.

Try reading the numerals, old boy. Do you take any issue with G's maths?


8 million estimated native Indians in South America. 2-13 million in Congo. Thats just for starters. How many North American Indians were wiped out? Arguably the greatest genocide in all of history, complete with small pox blankets. Africa - probably the most ravaged continent by Europeans of all - the devastating effects of which are only to evident to this very day. Oh but FD will say the diseases the Europeans spread while raping and pillaging were not deliberately spread, so its all good. No moral responsibility. He'll probably also try on the "wheres the source Gandalf" ruse for these figures, and once again "forget" that he's read and even quoted the wikipedia quotes that I posted. He'll then continue on with the "oh there's no exact total, sorry can't discuss it" copout. Apparently oblivious to the fact that undeniably entire continents were violently overtaken, and entire populations ethnically cleansed, and often annihilated - unlike in any other time in history. It is simply self-evident that European colonialism was the most disruptive, violent and devastating period for the most number of people, in the smallest period of time, in all of history.

Well sure, but I don't buy the Smallpox blankets. Settlers had no idea of germ theory, and wouldn't be able to spread smallpox without getting it themselves.

And where would they even get the smallpox virus from?

In Australia, Aborigines in Sydney were wiped out by smallpox, not deliberately, but through contact with Europeans.

More people have been killed in a single year Gandalf. Yet you struggle to match it from a 300 year period.

Also, didn't your link about the Congo say a lot of the deaths were caused by drought? Have you read it?

.

Gandalf, Africa is not the new world. With the possible exception of sub saharan Africa, European diseases were already well established there. In fact, the role of disease was often reversed in Africa compared to the new world. There were a lot of tropical diseases preventing colonisation of central Africa.

As for rape and pillage, nothing comes close to Islam in using rape to spread an ideology.

Quote:
He'll then continue on with the "oh there's no exact total, sorry can't discuss it" copout.


I'm not asking for an exact number Gandalf. Would you agree that it was actually you 'copping out' by demanding I guess the numbers for you? Would you agree that saying one number is greater than another number, and asking people whether they agree with you, while refusing to say what either number is, is particularly stupid?

Is it also a cop-out when you include disease and weather among your causes, but throw a hissy fit when asked about it and refuse to answer simple questions? It's a simple question Gandalf. Are you including deaths caused by weather?

Does it FD? Lets see - go to the article and press ctrl-f and type in the word "drought". How many hits do you get? Never mind, I'll save you the trouble, we know you have an aversion to actually reading sources. Its zero, nada, zilch. Oh, and just for fun, why not do the same for "weather". Oh what the hell, lets try "climate". Can you guess how many hits there are?

But it makes me curious, where did you get that nonsense about drought?

And just think, you're the one asking me if I've read it.

from my link:

Quote:
It is argued that the reduction in the Congo was atypical and can be attributed to the direct and indirect effects of colonial rule and especially to disease and falling birthrate


hmmm now where have I seen that quote before? Oh thats right, the time I posted it before, in this thread, which you ignored.

I was actually inviting you to use your common sense. I kinda figured that the establishment of (by far) the largest programs of invasion and conquest and ethnic cleansing the world has ever seen - the first time that such a program had global reach, the first time in which entire continents were conquered and in many cases cleansed of natives - by the many millions - is self-evidently a level of slaughter and destruction not seen before in history. Also, the irony of you, on so many previous occasions refusing to cite evidence for your claims while hiding behind the most absurd "I defer to common sense" justifications - is not lost on me.

freediver wrote on Nov 3rd, 2017 at 12:13pm:
s it also a cop-out when you include disease and weather among your causes


and you would of course be referring to the non-existent reference to weather in my Congo article yes?

FD, did you know I've cited 2 articles to demonstrate the level of carnage European imperialism inflicted? I feel I need to ask, since you have proven so clueless as to just about everything I have posted in this thread. Now to be fair I can't recall if the Latin American one mentions weather - but I can say that both articles cite evidence supporting the idea that the effects of colonialism caused, indirectly or directly, the death toll. I have highlighted these relevant parts of both articles - more than once. And yet still you insist I am including unrelated causes to the deaths.

Remember that point about you not listening to what people say that I keep banging on about?

lso, didn't your link about the Congo say a lot of the deaths were caused by drought? Have you read it?


Does it FD? Lets see - go to the article and press ctrl-f and type in the word "drought". How many hits do you get? Never mind, I'll save you the trouble, we know you have an aversion to actually reading sources. Its zero, nada, zilch. Oh, and just for fun, why not do the same for "weather". Oh what the hell, lets try "climate". Can you guess how many hits there are?

But it makes me curious, where did you get that nonsense about drought?

And just think, you're the one asking me if I've read it.

from my link:

Quote:
It is argued that the reduction in the Congo was atypical and can be attributed to the direct and indirect effects of colonial rule and especially to disease and falling birthrate




Excuse me, G, are you suggesting here that FD has made up a complete porkie about your article?

And even worse, are you suggesting he hasn't even read it? These are serious allegations, G.

You'll need to respond to this, FD. If this is true, it completely undermines your credibility. There is, however, a way to retrieve it.

Provide a quote from G's article.

The Mongol empire covered most of the Eurasian landmass, it stretched from Eastern Europe to the Sea of Okst.  From near the Barents Sea to the Persian Gulf.

The Muslim "Empire" (ie, of the First Caliphate) covered only the Arabian Peninsular and it's near surrounds.

Well sure, but I don't buy the Smallpox blankets. Settlers had no idea of germ theory, and wouldn't be able to spread smallpox without getting it themselves.

And where would they even get the smallpox virus from?

In Australia, Aborigines in Sydney were wiped out by smallpox, not deliberately, but through contact with Europeans.

A theory, Brian, and not a very good one. Discoveries in smallpox/cowpox inoculation didn't happen until the 1790s.

The colonisers spread the virus through their own genetic antibodies.

Well, actually, you're correct about vaccination but variolaton (the use of Smallpox pustules) started at the turn of the 18th century CE in Europe, Karnal:

Quote:
In January 1714 Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society published an account of a letter John Woodward had received from Emmanuel Timonius in Constantinople.[18] Smallpox inoculation was advocated as a proven method of curbing the severity of the disease.

The practice was introduced to England by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. Lady Montagu's husband, Edward Wortley Montagu, served as the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire from 1716 to 1718. She witnessed firsthand the Turkish use of inoculation in Istanbul,[19] and was greatly impressed:[20] she had lost a brother to smallpox and bore facial scars from the disease herself. When a smallpox epidemic threatened England in 1721, she called on her physician, Charles Maitland, to inoculate her daughter. She invited friends to see her daughter, including Sir Hans Sloane, the King's physician. Sufficient interest arose that Maitland gained permission to test inoculation at Newgate Prison in exchange for their freedom on six prisoners due to be hanged, an experiment which was witnessed by a number of notable doctors.[21] All survived, and in 1722 the Prince of Wales' daughters received inoculations.[22]

The practice of inoculation slowly spread amongst the royal families of Europe, usually followed by more general adoption amongst the people.

The practice is documented in America as early as 1721, when Zabdiel Boylston, at the urging of Cotton Mather, successfully inoculated two slaves and his own son. Mather, a prominent Boston minister, had heard a description of the African practice of inoculation from his Sudanese slave, Onesimus, in 1706, and later from Timoni's report to the Royal Society,[23] but had been previously unable to convince local physicians to attempt the procedure.[24] Following this initial success, Boylston began performing inoculations throughout Boston, despite much controversy and at least one attempt upon his life. The effectiveness of the procedure was proven when, of the nearly three hundred people Boylston inoculated during the outbreak, only six died, whereas the mortality rate among those who contracted the disease naturally was one in six.[25] Boylston traveled to London in 1724. There he published his results and was elected to the Royal Society in 1726.

In France, considerable opposition arose to the introduction of inoculation, and it was banned by the Parlement. Voltaire, in his Lettres Philosophiques, wrote a criticism of his countrymen for being opposed to inoculation and having so little regard for the welfare of their children, concluding that "had inoculation been practised in France it would have saved the lives of thousands.".[27]

Inoculation grew in popularity in Europe through the 18th century. Given the high prevalence and often severe consequences of smallpox in Europe in the 18th century (according to Voltaire, there was a 60% incidence of first infection, a 20% mortality rate, and a 20% incidence of severe scarring),[28] many parents felt that the benefits of inoculation outweighed the risks and so inoculated their children.[29]

This is, of course, well before the arrival of the First Fleet to Australia...

British deliberate use of smallpox for biological warfare:

Quote:
British officers, including the top British commanding generals, ordered, sanctioned, paid for and conducted the use of smallpox against the Native Americans. As described by one historian, "there is no doubt that British military authorities approved of attempts to spread smallpox among the enemy", and "it was deliberate British policy to infect the indians with smallpox"


Quote:
"Out of our regard to them we gave them two Blankets and an Handkerchief out of the Small Pox Hospital. I hope it will have the desired effect."
William Trent, William Trent's Journal at Fort Pitt


Quote:
"You will do well to try to inoculate the Indians, by means of blankets, as well as to try every other method that can serve to extirpate this execrable race." — Jeffery Amherst[12]

From your link:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrocities_in_the_Congo_Free_State

Disease, famine and violence combined to reduce the birth-rate while excess deaths rose.

Hmmm. What causes famine in Africa Gandalf?

Also from tour link:

In 1901 alone it was estimated that half-a-million Congolese had died from sleeping sickness.

Is this one of those diseases you blame Europeans for?

Oh look, also from your link:

Diseases imported by Arab traders, European colonists and African porters ravaged the Congolese population and "greatly exceeded" the numbers killed by violence.

Grin Grin Grin

Are Europeans also to blame for these diseases Gandalf?

Quote:
I was actually inviting you to use your common sense. I kinda figured that the establishment of (by far) the largest programs of invasion and conquest and ethnic cleansing the world has ever seen - the first time that such a program had global reach, the first time in which entire continents were conquered and in many cases cleansed of natives - by the many millions - is self-evidently a level of slaughter and destruction not seen before in history. Also, the irony of you, on so many previous occasions refusing to cite evidence for your claims while hiding behind the most absurd "I defer to common sense" justifications - is not lost on me.


And yet the numbers you quoted have been exceeded in a single year outside of that period Gandalf. Are you using "common snse" to defend a statement you know to be wrong as some kind of payback for other people using the term to try to get you to acknowledge the bleeding obvious?

Expertly cherry picked FD. Now I'll simply revert back to what I noted from the article before - which you are falling over yourself to avoid:

Quote:
It is argued that the reduction in the Congo was atypical and can be attributed to the direct and indirect effects of colonial rule and especially to disease and falling birthrate.[15] Estimates of the size of the overall population decline (or mortality displacement) remain disputed but range between two and 13 million.[b]


Gosh FD, do you think this article is blaming the spread of the disease as a "direct or indirect effect of colonial rule"?

Gandalf, are Europeans to blame for the diseases imported by Arab traders?

How do you explain that the sum total number of deaths you have presented from a 300 year period you claim to be the bloodiest in all history, which apparently includes deaths caused by the weather and Arab diseases, is less than the number who have died in a single year of war outside of this period? The closest you have come to an explanation is that it is obvious, but the only obvious thing here is that you are making it up again. Perhaps you would like to retract your claim rather than digging yourself in deeper?

And no, FD, Europeans are not responsible for diseases spread by Arabs. Arabs are responsible for diseases spread by Arabs, just like Europeans are responsible for diseases spread by Europeans.

Really FD? Which year? Which war? Or are you referring to a period since - when my claim was specifically about the history up until that time? If so, then I agree, the western Christians exceeded themselves spectacularly in unprecedented levels of slaughter during WWII.

For someone who insists the numbers can't be known and therefore can't be debated - you nevertheless seem to know an awful lot about which periods and which war exceeds it.

Which "single year of war" before the 300 years of European rape and pillage aka the colonial period, resulted in more deaths?

Yes thats right folks, the person who fabricated the claim about the weather being responsible for the Congo deaths, is now accusing me of making things up.

But you are counting the deaths caused by the diseases introduced by Arab traders as being caused by Europeans, right? Even though those Europeans actually went to signficant effort to cure and treat them, saving a lot of lives in the process?

Ah. So when you say things like
* "the establishment of (by far) the largest programs of invasion and conquest and ethnic cleansing the world has ever seen"
* "Arguably the greatest genocide in all of history"
* "unlike in any other time in history"
* "It is simply self-evident that European colonialism was the most disruptive, violent and devastating period for the most number of people, in the smallest period of time, in all of history."
you actually mean "before that time"? Surely I have quoted you enough times on this to stop you lying about it now?

Like I said Gandalf, surely it would be easier to simply retract these statements instead of trying to lie your way out of them. And it should not take 20 pages of your special Muslim tapdance routine to get you to acknowledge this. It is particularly ironic coming after you had to correct Brian Ross recently on a very similar point. I note he still does not understand either.

The first fleet did not treat Boongs, FD. They had no hospitals and no treatment. An estimated 90% of the local Sydney population died of smallpox.

In fact, where did Europeans ever treat natives? India? Burma? French Guyana? The Belgian Congo?

The public hospital wasn't around until the late 19th century, so please show how managing a public health outbreak was even possible.

Do you uphold the use of porkies in your campaign against the Muslim?

Please explain that one too. Your porkie campaign has been ramped up of late, but perhaps a more important question is this:

Do you expect people to be so dumb as to believe your porkies? Do you expect them not to read back over your claims in past posts? Do you think they'll read your latest concoction - no references or proof - and just say ah?

I don't think you do. I think your subsequent howlers are just a way to avoid fessing up and saying you lied the first time.

But that's just me.

Whistleblower Schoolteacher: Mass Migration, Radical Islam Making Education Impossible

An experienced teacher from a heavily migrant-occupied neighbourhood in a German city has said the spread of radical Islamism is creating divisions in society and turning young children against education.

The claim that educational attainment, as well as attitudes towards work and school, have all suffered recently because of a “gigantic integration problem” and radical Islam comes just days after a new report revealed the number of teachers being forced to report their elementary-aged pupils to the authorities for radical Salafist views is rising.

I was referring to the latest FD howler that European settlers provided natives medical treatment. As G has shown, the exact opposite appears to be the case. In many colonies, a program of systematic genocide was carried out. This,was certainly the case in much of South America.

In other countries, populations were either sold into slavery or indentured labour. The populations of Asia, Africa and the Americas show this today. The population of the Carribean is almost exclusively descended from slaves. In Singapore, almost everyone is descended from forced laborers.

As usual, old boy, you seek to use porkies to defend your greater message, that of keeping out the tinted races. For you and FD, all your porkies are justified to this end. You don't seek truth, you  just want to exclude others and deny them the same opportunities offered to you.  You defend a history that in many cases was indefencable. You seek to erase and whitewash this history and paint the tinted bogeyman as the aggressor.

You can't win this debate because there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary. G has even pointed this out to me.

When the facts are laid bare, I prefer to go with them, but that's just me. You prefer to tapdance, deny, evade and spread porkies.

No worries, just don't get all toosh when this is pointed out.

If only someone could invoke the force that these evil ancient uneducated Englishmen held, the problems of the world would be solved.

I mean a few ships here and there, so the locals lay down and cried and the English simply took over. (a handful of men conquered the cowering masses of millions)

Pity we couldn't harness whatever they had in those days (imagine the land of the muslims today if somebody could control them and bring the bloodshed death and destruction to an end)

Ah well not for a while yet I'd say, then again the ole leftard hero Kim Jong-un just might be stupid enough to start the whole show rolling with a nuclear missile fired in a direction clearly meant to start another war.

If that occurs I'm a number one supporter of the evil Americans, English, Jews, etc. etc. so that makes me the enemy of the muzzies and lefties around the globe, oh well it's nice to be loved.

The US couldn't even occupy one Arab country without bungling so badly, a resistance movement was formed that has now spread out into the world.

The British were cunning. They didn't just occupy the place, they used local warlords and power brokers, much as the US did during the Cold War - before it got all moralistic and decided to invade Iraq in the name of Freeeedom.

What the colonisers had in those days were monopolies, forced labour, brutal rulers and organised crime.

I'd say we've moved on somewhat, Moses, but do you know? Some places places haven't moved on at all.

Nope. I'm blaming Europeans for the deaths that were caused directly or indirectly by European colonialism. Its, you know, that citation from the article that you keep ducking and weaving from:

It is argued that the reduction in the Congo was atypical and can be attributed to the direct and indirect effects of colonial rule and especially to disease and falling birthrate.[15] Estimates of the size of the overall population decline (or mortality displacement) remain disputed but range between two and 13 million.


But feel free to pretend I'm still talking about Arab diseases and a non-existent reference to drought.


Quote:
Ah. So when you say things like
* "the establishment of (by far) the largest programs of invasion and conquest and ethnic cleansing the world has ever seen"
* "Arguably the greatest genocide in all of history"
* "unlike in any other time in history"
* "It is simply self-evident that European colonialism was the most disruptive, violent and devastating period for the most number of people, in the smallest period of time, in all of history."
you actually mean "before that time"? Surely I have quoted you enough times on this to stop you lying about it now?


Actually its when I say things like

polite_gandalf wrote on Oct 27th, 2017 at 9:47am:
That there were more people slaughtered by European colonialism than at any other period previously seen in history?


- should be a bit of a giveaway that I'm asking about, err 'any other period previously seen'.

But you are right - European christians certainly have exceeded themselves in scale of slaughter since. Something we certainly should be highlighting, so thanks. Good pickup.

Quote:
Like I said Gandalf, surely it would be easier to simply retract these statements instead of trying to lie your way out of them. And it should not take 20 pages of your special Muslim tapdance routine to get you to acknowledge this. It is particularly ironic coming after you had to correct Brian Ross recently on a very similar point. I note he still does not understand either.


It shouldn't take you more than 20 pages to acknowledge that I was indeed clearly talking about the period until that time - as clearly stated in post# 83 -but I'm sure you'll manage. At least it will enable you to continue ducking and weaving from things like the point regarding direct and indirect European colonial deaths in the free state article, and pretending its only about Arab diseases and drought.

Quote:
That is you Gandalf. I asked you for the numbers. All I got in response was obfuscation.


Sorry FD, if only I would give you actual figures like the 8 million in Latin America and the 2-13 million in the Congo... repeatedly... like I'm talking to a brick wall...

So when Muslims lie and backpedal, that is actually their way of clarifying? This is what you said Gandalf:

Quote:
It is simply self-evident that European colonialism was the most disruptive, violent and devastating period for the most number of people, in the smallest period of time, in all of history.


You made repeated, crystal clear claims referring to all history. How exactly is that "clearly talking about the period until that time"? Are we supposed to assume that because you are a Muslim, you mean something completely different from what you say, and it is up to us to acknowledge all your double meanings? Is it always the non-Muslim's fault when they don't understand your tendency to mean the opposite of what you say?

Quote:
No we didn't FD. You claimed the Congo free state article mentioned drought. It does not.


It mentions famine Gandalf. For some reason you were unwilling to suggest what causes famine in Africa. Hence my suggestion that you take it up where we left off, rather than absurdly declaring a point was established after you ran away from it.

Quote:
Nope. I'm blaming Europeans for the deaths that were caused directly or indirectly by European colonialism. Its, you know, that citation from the article that you keep ducking and weaving from:


Yes Gandalf. I understand that as soon as you read "whitey is to blame" your brain went into autopilot. But the number of deaths you quoted and attributed to Europeans included deaths caused by both weather, and diseases introduced by Arabs that the Europeans were actually trying to treat and cure. Your inability to think for yourself on this point is not an argument.

I said it on October 27 - which by my calculation is 18 days before you erroneously claimed I never said it. And once again, as seems to be your habit, you quoted me saying it - before inexplicably forgetting it and claiming I never said it.

So 'famine' is a synonym for 'drought' or 'weather' is it FD?

FD: the article mentions drought and weather
gandalf: where?
FD: err I mean famine

You're hillarious FD. The lengths you will go to to spinelessly apologise for European colonialism is breathtaking. The Europeans weren't raping and pillaging the Congo - its all a big misunderstanding. No, in actual fact they were merely "trying to treat and cure" bad stuff that came only from the weather and the Arabs. Here you go FD, just so you can perform your favourite pass-time - ducking and weaving:

this site says in part

Quote:
Over 670 million non-Muslims massacred since the birth of Islam

To the total numbers we have updated over 80 million Christians killed by Muslims in 500 years in the Balkan states, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia.

We are missing numbers on the Islamic genocide of Jews, a continuous goal in Islam for 1,400 years.

Then we have India the Muslim genocide of non-Muslims since the birth of Mohammed would be over 669 million murders.

Think the KKK has been bad since 1950?

Islamic terrorists murder more people every day than the Ku Klux Klan has in the last 50 years

Think the KKK was bad from 1865-1965?

Islamists killed more Buddhists in Thailand since 9/11 than the KKK killed in the 100 YEARS from 1865 to 9165.

Think the IRA’s terror campaign and the sectarian violence in Northern Ireland was bad?

More civilians were killed by Muslim extremists in two hours on September 11th than in the 36 years of sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland

Think capital punishment in the USA is barbaric?

The 19 Muslim hijackers killed more innocents in two hours on September 11th than the number of American criminals executed in the last 65 years.

Africa
Thomas Sowell [Thomas Sowell, Race and Culture, BasicBooks, 1994, p. 188] estimates that 11 million slaves were shipped across the Atlantic and 14 million were sent to the Islamic nations of North Africa and the Middle East.

For every slave captured many others died.

So, for 25 million slaves delivered to the market, we have an estimated death of about 120 million people. Islam ran the wholesale slave trade in Africa. 120 million Africans

Christians

The number of Christians martyred by Islam is 9 million [David B. Barrett, Todd M. Johnson, World Christian Trends AD 30-AD 2200, William Carey Library, 2001, p. 230, table 4-10] .

A rough estimate by Raphael Moore in History of Asia Minor is that another 50 million died in wars by jihad.

So counting the million African Christians killed in the 20th century we have:

59 million Christians in Asia Minor

plus 80 million Christians killed by Muslims during 500 years in the Balkan states, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia.

This calculation does not include the Arab biological warfare of the middle ages where enslaved and infected Jews, riddled with plague, were dumped across Europe in regions that had no Jewish origin or settlers. They carried the disease from the brutal Arab slave trade and were part of the enslaved blacks, Christians and Jews who managed to survive by paying jizya. These diseased people were then spread into Europe during muslim efforts to conquer the Italian coast (Venice), Greece, Spain, etc. The plague ended up killing half of the entire population of Europe]

Buddhists
Buddhists do not keep up with the history of war. Keep in mind that in jihad only Christians and Jews were allowed to survive as dhimmis (servants to Islam); everyone else had to convert or die.

Jihad killed the Buddhists in Turkey, Afghanistan, along the Silk Route, and in India.

The total is roughly 10 million. [David B. Barrett, Todd M. Johnson, World Christian Trends AD 30-AD 2200, William Carey Library, 2001, p. 230, table 4-1.] 10 million Buddhists

Plus Muslims have slaughtered 11 million other Muslims since 1948 in addition to the 669million+ non-Muslims they have murdered over the centuries. How many Muslims they have murdered over 1,400 years is unknown.

590,000,000: THAT’S WAY MORE THAN STALIN, HITLER, MAO, POL POT, IDI AMIN (a Sunni Muslim), AND THE REST OF THE 20TH CENTURY’S GENOCIDAL SOCIALISTS! AND IT DOESN’T STOP THERE. THE KILLING BY MUSLIMS AROUND THE WORLD CONTINUES TO THIS DAY.


No wonder leftards love muslims, they are psychopathic homicidal maniacs. muslims have slaughtered more people than anybody else on this planet, they are still doing it right now around the globe, while the sicko lefties cower and call for them to be accepted into our societies in ever increasing numbers.

Me?  I accept none, Soren. Why?  Because I am not a Muslim.  I have never claimed to be a Muslim.  However, I support the right of Muslims to believe whatever they like, as long as it is within Australian law and our legal system.  As long as they do not seek to harm anyone, they are as free as any hippy who wants to believe in UFOs and as any Christian who wants to believe in Jesus.

You can spout off everything and I am sure you will.  However, none of the Muslims I have served with/studied with/worked with have been bad people.  None have believed any of the extremist bullshit that you spout all the time, Soren.   They have been sophisticated in their views and their beliefs.  I have discussed this with them - which I note is far more than you ever appear to have done - and all agree that your view of Islam is that of a 600 C.E. hick, who has never read the Q'ran directly himself and never discussed what is written in it with those knowledgeable on the subject.

So, direct your questions to someone who is a Muslim.   Now, run along, I'm sure they are all waiting with baited breath for your arrival over at Muslim Village.  OK?   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

You did that anyway FD, and you quoted just about everything except the one quote that mattered. Perhaps it wouldn't go for 18 days if you simply listened to what I said (and what you even requoted) in the first place. No doubt you're prepared to go another 18 days and beyond continuing to insist I didn't say what I said - even after I reposted the quote twice now. Do I need to post it yet again?

freediver wrote on Nov 13th, 2017 at 8:33pm:

FD's answer: weather and nothing else. right?

Its your usual kindergarten logic. Especially absurd when you want to focus on Africa - whose famines throughout the modern era has had uncanny associations with economic exploitation and/or mismanagement. No one except you seriously believes the spike in famines during the free state period - which just happened to coincide with the rape and pillage of the land by King Leopold's forces - can be simply dismissed as nothing but some weather event.

From Britannica:

Quote:
One lucrative source of wild rubber was the Landolphia vines in the great Central African rainforest, and no one owned more of that area than Leopold. Detachments of his 19,000-man private army, the Force Publique, would march into a village and hold the women hostage, forcing the men to scatter into the rainforest and gather a monthly quota of wild rubber. As the price of rubber soared, the quotas increased, and as vines near a village were drained dry, men desperate to free their wives and daughters would have to walk days or weeks to find new vines to tap.


...

Quote:
With women as hostages and men forced to tap rubber, few able-bodied adults were left to hunt, fish, and cultivate crops. Millions of Congolese then found themselves suffering near-famine, which made them vulnerable to diseases they otherwise might have survived. Furthermore, as in any society where men and women are separated, traumatized, or in flight as refugees, the birth rate dropped precipitously. No one will ever know the precise figures, but, from all these causes, demographers estimate that between 1880 and 1920 the population of the Congo may have been slashed by up to 50 percent, from perhaps 20 million people at the beginning of that period to an estimated 10 million at the end.

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Leopold-II-king-of-Belgium

Quite simply, to dismiss a spike in famines during a period in which brutal occupiers were raping the entire countryside for natural resources (rubber), not to mention diverting farm workers away to help with the exploitation of resources, as nothing but a bit of unlucky weather - is beyond laughable.

Ah simple isn't it FD? Famine is just oh so simple... - especially in Africa.

nothing but a bit of unlucky weather. I won't put the laughing emoji because its just so stupid, its beyond laughing.

More legit than any pro muslim anti white Christian, leftard site.

Tell me again how the muslims haven't done any wrong, they really didn't murder 100's of  millions of people in the last 1400 years, all degenerate actus reus is the provenance of the evil whiteman.

It's been 1400 years of ongoing genocide by muslims (muslim against non muslim, muslim against muslim) and there seems to be no end in sight.

All you do is wriggle around and make excuses for a depraved doctrine which is lock stock and barrel the root cause of all muslims problems.

Oh well slaughter a few more and tell us how they totally misinterpret the perfect words of the revamped allah.

You mean a site that is credible, names it's sources and cites what they actually said at the time about the events under review?   How dare they, Moses, how dare they tell the truth!  Tsk, tsk. your religious mania has taken control of your views.  Seek help!   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Is that the same as you not actually telling those lies in the first place? Is this some special Muslim approach to honesty that you have not let us in on?

You did that anyway FD, and you quoted just about everything except the one quote that mattered. Perhaps it wouldn't go for 18 days if you simply listened to what I said (and what you even requoted) in the first place. No doubt you're prepared to go another 18 days and beyond continuing to insist I didn't say what I said - even after I reposted the quote twice now. Do I need to post it yet again?

FD's answer: weather and nothing else. right?

Its your usual kindergarten logic. Especially absurd when you want to focus on Africa - whose famines throughout the modern era has had uncanny associations with economic exploitation and/or mismanagement. No one except you seriously believes the spike in famines during the free state period - which just happened to coincide with the rape and pillage of the land by King Leopold's forces - can be simply dismissed as nothing but some weather event.

From Britannica:

Quote:
One lucrative source of wild rubber was the Landolphia vines in the great Central African rainforest, and no one owned more of that area than Leopold. Detachments of his 19,000-man private army, the Force Publique, would march into a village and hold the women hostage, forcing the men to scatter into the rainforest and gather a monthly quota of wild rubber. As the price of rubber soared, the quotas increased, and as vines near a village were drained dry, men desperate to free their wives and daughters would have to walk days or weeks to find new vines to tap.


...

Quote:
With women as hostages and men forced to tap rubber, few able-bodied adults were left to hunt, fish, and cultivate crops. Millions of Congolese then found themselves suffering near-famine, which made them vulnerable to diseases they otherwise might have survived. Furthermore, as in any society where men and women are separated, traumatized, or in flight as refugees, the birth rate dropped precipitously. No one will ever know the precise figures, but, from all these causes, demographers estimate that between 1880 and 1920 the population of the Congo may have been slashed by up to 50 percent, from perhaps 20 million people at the beginning of that period to an estimated 10 million at the end.

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Leopold-II-king-of-Belgium

Quite simply, to dismiss a spike in famines during a period in which brutal occupiers were raping the entire countryside for natural resources (rubber), not to mention diverting farm workers away to help with the exploitation of resources, as nothing but a bit of unlucky weather - is beyond laughable.

Ah simple isn't it FD? Famine is just oh so simple... - especially in Africa.

nothing but a bit of unlucky weather. I won't put the laughing emoji because its just so stupid, its beyond laughing.


Excellent sourcing, G, but we haven't seen FD's response yet.

I'm sure he'll quote something far more authorative to support his view that Whitey brought the Nig Nogs Freeedom (and would have got away with it if that dastardly Muselman didn't step in with his diseases).

This time, FD will post something good, you'll see. Yes, with any luck, FD will post his questions to Abu.

Its really fascinating seeing just how far FD is prepared to go with this absurd ruse of his. Do you think he still believes this nonsense about the Congo famines having nothing to do with the rape and pillage of the land by the Belgians - and that its nothing but a bit of unlucky weather? I'm hoping his avoiding this point in his last post is his way of saying "yeah, it was stupid, I think I'll just quietly walk away from it"

FD does that with all my posts, G. I wouldn't ask him any tricky questions if I were you.

Just admit you were wrong and leave it at that. If you want to make up lies like Whitey killing off the savages, you really should be ashamed of yourself. You obviously have no knowledge of all the kind, selfless and devoted things Whitey did for his blacks.

Remember, Whitey freed their slaves. He provided them with the best medical treatment. He even gave them clothes to cover themselves with. And what thanks does he get?

The dirty Nig Nogs make up stuff about slavery, disease and genocide - so unfair.

Admit it, G. Just do the right thing and confess. We'll end this devious Muslim lying and evasion once and for all.

Yes, Augie, it's a special FD approach to honesty. We call it Freeeeeedom.


Indeed. Karnal. FD has not denied that he’s banned me because of criticism.

I suggest you re evaluate your current perceptions of FD and incorporate them into your arguments.


What does FD say he banned you for, Augie?


I said that he did not deny it.


So what did he say?

He didn’t say anything. When I asked him about it, he just ignored the question and continued with the existing topic. I refer you to ‘Iranian democracy.’

Ah.


So, if I ask a person a question and they refuse to respond given several opportunities, is it unreasonable for me to deduce that they did it?

If you have an alternative theory. I’m listening.
