What can /his/ tell me about this great African kingdom?
>>2906547
There's nothing fucking great aboutfucking Subsaharian African shith*les ìs for fuck's sake... I hate you libtards lefty /pol/s fucks, there's nothing worth discussing down there...
>>2906547
I know one general from axum who caused an event that is Mentioned in Quran
when they were vassals of sassanids iirc, a general of axum was going to wreck mecca's kaaba for some reason i forgot, there were also many kaabas in arabia, some were destroyed by him he also had an elephant in army.
legend is the that elephant stopped moving due to its pro arab owner making him so, when they arrived to mecca, and birds attacked the army later on. Some people say bird attack might refer to pox etc
anyways mecca was safe and sound, and this is all narrated in the `elephant surah` in the quran

learn what subsaharan means you dumb blue collar
>Wake up
>Many poor souls still believe that God will accept them into his kingdom through their "good works"
Sigh
>Wake up
>Many poor souls still believe that Catholics believe that God will accept them into his kingdom through their "good works"
>>2906029
So you believe we are justified by grace alone, through faith alone, pagan ?
>Wake up
>Faith through works means you can believe whatever crazy shit you want as long as you're a good person and still be saved
>Faith through Christ means you can be a total fucking bastard in life and still be saved no matter what as long as you believe in the Resurrection
both sides are kinda silly
>>2906025
>Idol got destroyed
I'm crying. Fuck your statues, pagan.
>>2906027
Daily reminder that if you support or are indifferent to the destruction of important cultural and historical artifacts, you're a fucking pleb and don't belong on this board.
>>2906027
>idol
that's Buddha retard, nobody prays to that statue
For a so-called historical "great power" they sure get conquered a lot.
They've only been completely conquered by an outside power twice though
>>2905663
There were several incidents of barbarians conquering the north which is where the center of the civilization was, and setting up their own dynasties there
Also they would definitely have been conquered by Japan if the US hadn't interrupted things elsewhere.
>>2905693
>Also they would definitely have been conquered by Japan if the US hadn't interrupted things elsewhere.
Yeah it was the US who went full retard and launched an attack on Japanes- oh wait
What does /his/ think of Islam?
So I was walking in London today...
Like all other religions, interesting
>>2904951
I like it when they beat the shit out of fags and liberals
is it genetic?
you can say its a Jewish cultural thing but Sephardic Jews, and other jews don't have the intellectual legacy of Ashkenazis
in before >Muh Spinoza
honestly
they have more white blood?
>>2904418
All the stupid ones were killed.
What do you mean by "muh Spinoza", and how do Sephardic Jews not have an intellectual legacy. That have a preeminently philosophical legacy (e.g. Ibn Ezra, Maimonides, Ibn Paquda, Isaac Alfasi, Yehuda Halevi etc), whereas Ashkenazim have only ever produced mediocre philosophers. Also pic related is the first Jewish-American senator and he was Moroccan, so eat shit stingy inbred ghetto-kike.
What would a 'European Islam' look like? Would it be as comfy as vid related? Which characteristics of European culture would mesh most easily with Islam, and which would conflict most?

>>2904202
the artwork in their mosque is comfy as hell
No pork, no alcohol, circumcisions, reverence for the arab language and polygamy are all inherently anti European. So it can't work. Keep dreaming Abdul.
>>2904202
they wouldn't assimilate at all, even the European's hate their own culture
The Muslims will form pockets in which they keep their own language and culture in tact
Should bomber Harris be considered a war criminal?
he should do it again
>"""""war criminals"""""
War by its definition is law fails and it comes down to who is the strongest.
DO IT AGAIN BOMBER HARRIS
Does the act of tearing down statues erase history?
>>2903386
As you can clearly see, it creates history.
Why not just put it on a museum?
>>2903386
WE WUZ VANDALS N SHIT
NOW WE VANDALS N SHIT AGAIN
Is Paul a false apostle?
I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. (1 Corinthians 4:3)
>>2903174
Yes
Even the 12 disciples got annoyed with Paul for his claims
When they weren't being flayed alive, that is.
>>2903174
Yes. Never even met Jesus and had often antagonistic relationships with the people who actually knew the guy, and half his epistles are confirmed pseudepigraphic forgeries. He only came to prominence because James and most likely other disciples were executed during the years leading up to the Jewish Great Revolt, and the brutal Roman crackdowns instituted after that and subsequent revolts failed slaughtered most of the original Jewish Christian communities founded and led by the disciples. The Hellenized Jewish Christians that were outside of Roman Palestine escaped the worst of the crackdowns, and thus Paul's teachings became more prominent than the originals.
The Ebionites were most likely the remnants of Jesus of Nazareth's original movement, though we know very little about them other than that they embraced poverty, followed traditional Jewish laws, and viewed Jesus as the messiah in the traditional Jewish sense but not as a deity like YHWH.
At anytime in history were eunuchs ever used as soldiers?
I was watching Game of Thrones last night, and I was wondering if castrated men were ever used as soldiers? It would seem a castrated man would be less physically strong than an uncastrated man. I know the Ottomans used eunuchs as guards for the Sultan's harem, but that's the closest comparison I can recall from my history courses.
No, a eunuch has far less testosterone, muscle mass, endurance, and speed than an intact man. They'd make awful soldiers, not to mention we're very expensive.
>>2902591
There's only one instance in history where the Ming had a battalion of eunuchs, and they were totally fucking useless
>>2902591
Why would they? Eunuchs were fat as fuck.
Are there any instances of the Buddhist doctrine encouraging violence.
I know that every religion has its own terrorists.
Are their any specific quotes which Buddha says which remotely hints violence
>>2901983
Tibet
>>2901986
Im referring to quotes from Buddha or from the Buddhist Dharma.
>>2901983
>if you see the Buddha on the road, kill it
I don't know who said this.

Pay your taxes today, peasant?

Africans (Afs) are as capable as W.Europeans (WEs).
Why is Af impoverished today whilst EU is rich? Pure chance, my friend. There is no underlying genetic cause for this difference in fortune.
What caused the EU to flourish? Political Stability. A heavy handed ruler keeping the serfs and peasants in check by fear of death (or even torture). So as the peasants paid their taxes and the Monarch and ruling class collected, the nation became stronger. Simple human greed was the reason for this prosperity.
Now look to Africa. They have been unfortunate, they have no been able to have that heavy handed ruler as EUs did. If they have we would be looking at a very different Af today.
Did you know Afs came into the Iron Age before a lot of the EU's? You get Af whiz kids in doing feats of genius today building windmills to power villages, and one even built an aircraft!
Africans are not less capable than Europeans. Fait has been against them.
>>2893644
lol
It is a fact that West Africans, on average, are faster sprinters and better jumpers. It is a fact that Europeans, on average, are better swimmers and lifters, and that East Africans are better long distance runners. We also know that all these races have different skin colors, skull shapes, hair color, hair type....if we can accept all these things, why can't we accept that it's possible, even likely, that different races have different mental capacities? The brain is just another organ.
>>2893644
Alright, but why didn't Africa develop on its own? Obviously, without heavy-handed rulers, they could have gotten much further, technologically.
Forgot to cancel my other audible account so I got a bunch of books. Rate my list. Also have 1 more any suggestions?
