>actually writing "Allah" instead of translating it to "God" or "The Highest"

It's liking anime subs writing "Kami-sama" instead of "God." The only reason we have "Allah" in the dictionary is the first orientalists were special snowflakes who wanted to make an arbitrary distinction between their hobby and conventional theology.

Prove me wrong.

Was Buddhism really a religion of peace compared to other religions?

Not really. Westerners just dont understand how much political and sometimes military power various Buddhist groups possessed

Religion is nice and all, but pragmatism almost always wins out over it. I suppose there's been one or two religions where this was not the case, but as you may suspect, they went extinct along with those that preached absolute abstinence (and sometimes were one in the same).

What happens to the brightest, virtuous, and most pious pagan souls? Are they banished to hell just because they were born too early?

Technically yes, but they go to a part of hell that's just Limbo where they hang out until the second coming or something. It's not really terrible, just boring.

Didn't you read Inferno? Dante talks to Ceasar and some other guys there. It's pretty cool.

This man was murdered via poisoning, forensic evidence proves this, yet his death is not listed as an assassination.

President Taylor had many enemies due to his non-committal attitudes to hot button topics on slavery, as well as being a part of a dying Whig party, which was seen as controversial.

Taylor was a hardy man who fought in many battles, yet it is believed that he died from simple food poisoning? No, the food he devoured was laced with arsenic.

So who exactly killed Zachary Taylor? There is a fifth presidential assassin:
1. ??? - Taylor
2. John Wilkes Booth - Lincoln
3. Charles Julius Guiteau - Garfield
4. Leon Frank Czolgosz - McKinley
5. Lee Harvey Oswald / Lyndon Baines Johnson / Russia / misc.

Why are you lying on the internet?

>>2453127
They had exhumed the body, where traces of arsenic and mercury where found; while it isn't likely that the amount that was collected at the body at the time of examination would've killed him, it is more than possible for the arsenic to have decayed or was primarily on a part of a body that was decayed.

Remember that despite being a Whig, Taylor was often called "a man without a party" due to owning slaves but not expanding slavery, leading both sides to see him as unsavory.

One of the greatest and most important artists of the 20th century, Karlheinz Stockhausen, thinks that 9/11 is the greatest work of art of all time.

>Karlheinz Stockhausen, whose shocking remarks at a press conference at a music festival in Hamburg six days after the attacks made headlines. The events of 9/11, he’d enthused, were “the greatest work of art imaginable for the whole cosmos.” Things had gone from bad to worse to incendiary when, like Batman’s Joker, he warmed to his theme: “Minds achieving something in an act that we couldn’t even dream of in music, people rehearsing like mad for ten years, preparing fanatically for a concert, and then dying; just imagine what happened there. You have people who are that focused on a performance and then 5,000 people are dispatched to the afterlife, in a single moment. I couldn’t do that. By comparison, we composers are nothing.”

Do you agree with him?

Children in Syria have been tortured, maimed and sexually abused by Bashar al-Assad's forces and recruited for combat by the rebels fighting to topple him during the country's conflict of almost three years, a new UN report says.

The report, which highlights the treatment of children in the conflict from the beginning of the uprising against the president in March 2011 until 15 November 2013, was released this week to the security council and posted on the UN website on Tuesday.

It's a very bold comparison and took balls to say.
The same goes for any of the historical tragedies humans have experienced.
What sets 9/11 apart from other tragedies?

Nothing really, which makes me wonder why he chose 9/11 to compare with the art of musical composition.

My conclusion is he hates America for reasons unrelated to music or 9/11 and is using this opportunity to convey his opinion on a public scale.

Virtue signalling of sorts.

the majority of his fervent critics have to reconcile their emotional reaction with the fact that they probably believe the victims went to heaven, proving him right

even if you believe the Third Reich was an atrocity committed by monsters, if you don't think it was spectacularly crafted you simply haven't studied it enough

Finno-ugric, much like russians.

Slavs are only a language group. Baltics are both a language group and a subrace (baltid). Many slavs are baltids
>>
>>2449816
The Baltic language family and the Slavic language family are sister groups. So while Balts are not Slavs, they are very close relatives.
