Islam was invented to get back the 'precious' which the Christians stole from the Jews.

...at least the Germans have coughed up their slice of the cake. Next will be the French (then Italians and finally the British  ).

Yes.

Not the highest rated terrorist group though.

That title goes to right-wing extremists/white supremacists.

Are you a right-wing extremist moses?

I'm curious.

Was that a yes, or a no?

So when western countries marched into muslim countries and ended slavery - do you think the purpose of the intervention was to end slavery, or to "line their own pockets"?

Take some time on that.

Oh, I remember now. FD said Whitey ended the Arab slave trade during one of the crusades - long before Paine and Wilberforce and all those 19th Century Whigs.

FD, of course, forgets all about Whitey starting his slave trade up on an industrial scale in the New World a few centuries later.

FD's argument, however, is most peculiar. He puts his Medieval abolitionism down to the influence of Christianity.

Yes, a religion who's prophet advised, "slaves, be good to your masters"; a religion that justified the use of slaves since the Old Testament; a religion started by the Romans of all people.

FD avoids all discussion of the influence of utilitarianism, liberalism and the secular movements of the 18th and 19th Centuries. He stands his ground on a sentence he read once in Guns, Germs and Steel.

That was pre-2007, of course. FD hasn't had much time for books since he "changed his mind".

It's strange how all those books he read before 2007 got twisted out of all proportion in the newly minted, mind-changed FD.

It's almost as if he squeezed the juices out of all that knowledge, left it in the sun and ground up the sediments to form a powder that he uses to spike people's drinks with, no?

You don't have to be in an organization to be a terrorist. And it doesn't mean the threat of non-Islamic terrorism is not real.

Virtually all right wing terrorist acts in the last decade or so have been 'lone wolf' attacks.

Are you asking me to reduce a war to a singular cause?

The west has intervened in the Muslim world many times over many centuries to end slavery, most recently in the case of ISIS. All Muslims can do in response is the "hey, look over there" trick.

No no, FD, just the times you said Whitey ended slavery in Arabia.

You do have a link, no?

I'm guesssing Jihadwatch. You?
