Caliph means a leader chosen by people, even the Shia belief of Caliph isn't applicable as it would mean that it has to be from the bloodline of Prophet Muhammad and that bloodline is lost. So, it's a political movement, just like "democracy" and "freedom"Do you want me to respond to that or laugh at that. What is the fictitious Caliphate that IS has proclaimed? Which religion has a Caliphate, can you tell me that? And IS doesn't use Islam. No doubt, now you will also claim that Al Qaeda, Boko Haraam, Al Shabaab, Taliban et al also don't evoke the name of Islam. Right? Is there any perverse pleasure in sounding like a lunatic that I am missing out on?
Ba'ath Party in Iraq weren't secular after the Iraq-Kuwait War. If they remained in power, most of the Saddam loyalists top commanders were killed by coalition forces or their allies. US never had full control of Iraq and a lot of regions were controlled by militia who were out for revenge.What nonsense have you learnt in life? The Ba'athists, be in Iraq or in Syria, were the only secular forces standing between the citizenry and the savagery of sectarian conflict. What happened in Iraq when the Ba'athists were destroyed? What is happening in Syria now? If the Ba'athists had remained in power in Iraq, it wouldn't have gone down the drain the way it has today.
Should I laugh!The question is very simple - if positions were reversed and the Islamic world had recourse to M1 Abrams, Tomahawks, Grim Reapers, B-1/B-2 bombers, precision guided weaponry and a dozen aircraft carriers, where would the wold be. If you think the world is a violent place today, think about what would be if Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan had the same military might as NATO. The world castigates America, and rightly so, for the abuse of military power. But only a lunatic would doubt that if such military might was at the disposal of the Islamic world, the world would be several times worse off. You and I wouldn't be writing long tirades to each other from the safety and comfort of our homes.
But luckily for us, that will never happen. Dimwits with nothing but malice in their heart are unlikely to succeed in today's world. Today, you need technical knowledge and expertise, which a hateful cult is highly unlikely to impart.
As for AK47s and RDX, who makes them? Does the Arab world make them? The Arab world (especially GCC) subsists on the fossils of bio-forms long dead and buried under their soil. If not for that, they would be worse than savages.
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Egypt all have M1 Abrams tanks, tomahawk missiles and U.S and European made drones and precision guided weapons. Infact Pakistan makes their own. In fact they (Saudi) have the best Air Force in the Middle East (in terms of equipment). And yet the GCC nations are the most peaceful countries in the region. Which further proves that without NATO destabilizing a country, the whole nation can live in peace.
Blather about cattle traders, hospitals and PMs. Ignored.
Why not! Can't argue with facts. I can assure you that you can. The power of stupidity (which you posses) is extraordinary.
If you don't understand such simple analogy, you further provide proof of your stupidity.I thought your country was Bangladesh? First time saw an Arab false-flagging as a Bangladeshi.
I am an atheist. I do not suffer from religious hallucinations of heaven and hell, hell fire and eternal damnation. I object to all religion. But that does not make me indifferent or blind towards the special threat posed by one religion in particular. An ulcer is not the same as a tumor.
Well, it is a world-wide known phenomena that atheists are delusional bunch in the sense that they believe that they are all knowing and always right (I myself kind of had doubts about you being a Hindu). Because only to an atheist killing in the name of religion is wrong but killing in the name of "freedom" and "democracy" is right and justifiable.
You do understand that your first paragraph is being ridiculed by your second.A fictitious plot set on set on basis of christian crusades, even if he believes in the red witch.
Martin invented a few religions for his book series, but they have their roots in real-life faiths. For example, the Faith of the Seven, based on seven aspects of one god, is derived from the Christian Holy Trinity and the Mother, Maiden, and Crone come from Pagan views. Or in Greek mythology, it's the Fates who embody this aspect, while the Father, Smith and Warrior come from "abrahamic" masculine elements. Meanwhile, the Lord of Light, R'hllor, is roughly based on Zoroastrianism and the Cathars (who were destroyed in the Albigensian Crusade.). The show is also run by jews- which is a double whammy for you. Then there the irony Black bangladeshi islamist wants to play a white king, lol
Zoroastrianism doesn't ask for human sacrifice for all I know.
Also, sure I am inferior Mr."I am not brown but white" man. If you so desperately want to be white, I suggest rubbing bleach on your face, it might help. Fair & Lovely is a scam.
