Congratulations Europe! The times are a changing!

I prefer not to be forced to wear a hijab. Majority Muslim societies are bad for women and queers.

There is pretty solid evidence that the Hijab originated from the Nestorians and was copied by Moslems. All societies based on religions are hopeless. Fundamentalist Christians (Catholic and Protestant), Radical Islamists, right wing Jews, and Hindu Nationalists are equally appalling. Religions suck - all of them

At times in the past Christians have forced people to convert to Christianity. At times in the past Christians have persecuted non Christians. That no longer occurs. Nothing in the News Testament, which I have read in eight English translations commands that or even says that it is acceptable.

The Koran, which I have read in three English translations does command the use of violence to achieve conversions.

I will copy several passages.

Surah IX 5, Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them and take them (captive), and besiege them and prepare for them each ambush...

Surah IV 104 Relent not in pursuit of the enemy. If ye are suffering, lo! they suffer even as ye suffer...

Surah IX 123 Oh ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto them).

Nearly all religious terrorism today is Islamic terrorism. I have never read of a terrorist yelling "The Lord our God is one," or "Jesus is Lord," while killing people. They always yell "Allahu akbar," which means "God is most great."

The Arab slave trade in African Negroes began centuries before the European and American slave trades in African Negroes. It continued for decades later until it was smashed by European military action.

Arab slave raiders also raided the coast of Europe for slaves, going as far north as Iceland. They raided the coast of the United States too. The line in The Marine's hymn, "to the shores of Tripoli" refers to efforts by the United States Marine Corps to stop the Arab enslavement of American citizens. The French conquered Algeria to stop the Arab slave trade of Europeans.

Arabs castrated male slaves. In addition, they cut off the penises of Negro slaves.

Yes, it does. The Nazi movement was secular.

“Kinder, Küche, Kirche”

 

[JohnEngelman]

“Kinder, Küche, Kirche”

The Nazis did not originate that slogan:

Kinder, Küche, Kirche (German pronunciation: [ˈkɪndɐ ˈkʏçə ˈkɪʁçə]), or the 3 Ks, is a German slogan translated as "children, kitchen, church" used under the German Empire[1] to describe a woman's role in society...

The origins of the phrase are normally attributed to either the last German Emperor Wilhelm II, or to his first wife, Empress Augusta Victoria...

The phrase started to appear in its current form in writing in the early 1890s.

I know, they were prepared to use existing German religious forms to impose and maintain their idea of order.

What matters is this attitude, expressed many times in Hitler's Table Talk 1941 - 1945, page 7:

"The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew."

My copy of The Goebbels Diaries 1942 - 1943, edited, translated, and with an introduction by Louis P. Lochner, was published in 1948 by Doubleday & Company.

On page 237 Lochner wrote:

"The Nazis were determined to eliminate Christianity altogether from Germany after the war. Alfred Rosenberg had already prepared a decree for Hitler's signature by which even the lowest paid menial worker on the public pay roll was to lose his job if he continued church membership."

The right wing in Israel is not motivated by religion. The most conservative Jews in Israel are pacifists.

That's because the power structures in the world are assymetrical. Its not terrorism when America assassinates an Iranian General, supports genocide, officially invades two countries (one of which had nothing to do with the conflict) we can rationalize that sanctioning people into poverty isn't an act of violence because well we have the power.

Muslim terrorists yell "Allahu akbar," when killing civilians. They probably yelled it when they slammed into the World Trade Center.

Yeah. I don't really care what they shout.
