They are looking for a sound argument to support their anti-Christian bias. Similar to how the Jesus Myth Hypothesis is very fringe but New Atheists make it very popular in their circles because it supports their views.

Why do Japanese cartoons and animations have such a unique style unrivaled by any other nation in the world?

What is exactly the origins and history of anime?

Tezuka's Astro Boy, which was in turn inspired by Mickey Mouse.

They might now but they didnt used to. If you look at early western cartoons you can tell easily that they influenced anime and manga cartooning style. The difference is that the Japanese retained and built on the older styles and techniques. One thing that Japanese seemed to master was minimal realsm. They continually break visual informational down into its basic concept and shape while still presenting humanoid characters and realism. Western cartoons decided to go way of the ultra deformed anthropomorphic route, aiming to appeal to children, where Japanese aimed to appeal more generally. So ultimately anime is a more serious and mature style of cartooning and story telling amd so requires a greater level of expertise.
>>
They looked a lot like Disney cartoons early on, but eventually evolved into it's own thing.

Theism confirmed for cancer.

>Cameramen were granted rare access into the antiquities museum in Mosul, Iraq, after forces retook the building from the Islamic State group on Tuesday. Hundreds of rare books and manuscripts have been reduced to ash, the Associated Press reported.

THAT FACT THAT YOU USE "ISIL'S" DESTRUCTION AS AN EXCUSE TO DERIDE THEISM, IS NONSENSICAL.

YOU ARE EITHER RADICALLY IGNORANT AND IDIOTIC, OR ARE A NOT PARTICULARLY SMART ZIONIST.

GO AWAY.

You mean Islam, not theism in general.

Alot of people seem to believe that Kurds just popped out of nowhere as "nomads" as they say.
But if that is the case then how come they number close to over 50 million in these supposed regions that they have "no claim" in while historical records of them date back to almost 1500 BC under different names? All while being the unchallenged rulers of said regions throughout the majority of history.

Sure, the history books will tell how Arabs, Persians and Turks ruled but what is to say that Kurdistan wasn't vassal to those different Empires or even an autonomous Kurdish state?

Kurds are Medes.

The Persians were a vassal state of the Median empire, until the Persians overthrew their lords.

Exactly, and now they want to free themselves from those shackles of oppression and (f)ersianization and only want Iranian Kurdistan, rather than the entire Kurdian plateau, which is their birthright but Kurds are a humble people and feel bad for the Arab (F)ersians.

Lets talk about executioners. Why the mask? Was it a family trade, passed from father to son? Was it just a side job for a prison guard? Did they get paid more?

It was a family trade and executioners were discriminated against. In taverns the plates executioners ate from were smashed right afterwards, they couldn't touch any blade that wasn't their own or else it would be considered tainted and they lived away from regular population.

"Like the crow among mankind are the Zanj for they are the worst of men and the most vicious of creatures in character and temperament." Jahiz, Kitab al-Hayawan, vol. 2
