Hahaha! I was thinking proxima centauri. Here to enslave planet earth! :devil: On topic, I think it is due to the natural feeling of jealousy. I mean, if you look at the map, countries which are majority white are usually the richest. Whites led the industrial revolution and are the pioneer of...

Why are people here so hostile towards whites? They're human being just like eerybody else

I used to support Assad and think that FSA is just a terrorist phenomenon, but when so many people are being slaughtered (~45000) it must be something more. I hope Russia withdraws supporting Assad as any small benefit which may've been gained by supporting him is far outweighed by the damaging...

Most of the deposits are within the territory of Israel. And nope, only 33 countries in the world has significant oil shale deposits. Israel and Jordan being the only two in the middle east. This is the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.

It's true. Fracking technology will revolutionise the energy industry. Israel has 250 billion barrels of shale oil deposits, which is about the same amount of oil as Saudi Arabia has. This means this deposit can also be used to export to energy hungry countries such as Egypt. Another country...

Good point. This is because Muslims use different narratives when preaching to non muslims and muslims. In case of non muslims, they will say Islam preaches tolerance, human rights, justice and equality and other good things. The "good" quranic verses and hadiths are quoted. At this stage...

You do have a point but consider this: Quran itself says that Muhammad didn't know the future and doesn't make any prophecy for future conquests (except one ambiguous prophecy of the conquest of persia). Could these hadiths have been fabricated by the 4 khalifas, umayyads and abbasids to justify...

I don't think Islam itself has much to do with the backwardness in the Islamic world as far as science is concerned. I think these may be the factors: 1. It is the political ideology of Islamism or incorporating Islam and Sharia as the law of the land which is responsible for much of the...

My understanding is that the Quran is primarily a spiritual scripture, following the line of Abrahamic religion. If you've read it, you'd know that very few verses actually talk about political rules and laws. Most of the verses are devoted to a person's connection with Allah and...

I'm also a skeptic of Islam but I disagree with you on the Muhammad part. I do not believe that Muhammad is infallible or something, he was an ordinary human being and has his share of mistakes too. But aggressive warfare and expansionism wasn't undertaken under Muhammad's leadership. The wars...

I read an article once which analysed the comments under a very popular news item (specifically, bin Laden'a death) in two of the biggest middle east media - Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya. They were analysing the stance of the commentators ie whether they support bin laden or oppose him...

Let's be clear on the definition. Islam = a beautiful monotheistic/abrahamic religion Islamist = Trying to use Islam as a totalitarian political ideology. I'm aware those people do not represent Islam.

I agree. Connecting everything to sexuality only demonstrates the deep-rooted psychological illness of the Islamists. Like the sheikh who recently called for babies to wear the burka.

Wow.. that is some next level dancing! With a little googling, I found this. Kills two birds with one stone: ;)

They should start building thorium-based nuclear reactors, they're the next big thing.

Thanks, an honest admission. This phenomenon is not exclusive to Salafism/Wahhabism, as such they shouldn't be blamed.

I used to blame Wahabis for the terrorism, but upon further research I found this assertion to be incorrect. First and foremost, I think we should exercise discretion in calling others Wahabis. Many find the term to be derogatory and most people in Saud Arabia and elsewhere don't even identify...

US will use F 22s from UAE and assets from other military bases in Arab countries for assisting the attack on Pakistan (if done).

I remember having this debate once with Hyperion somewhere.
