Macedonians are superior. End of story.

Because they are not the descendants of the army that conquered half of the known world.

I would start by asking a question to Muslims.
Since the Quran is the word of God, perfect and complete, what is the point of hadiths? I see some arguments in favour of hadiths but I just don't get it.
>Hadiths give you more details on particular things
But since the quran is complete, there should be no need for details
>Hadiths help you understanding
But since God is perfect, I should be able to get his message from reading the quran, what I will understand is what God want me to
>You have to follow what the prophet said
But not only are the hadiths written by people other than the prophet pbuh (and often later) but also, he, no matter what, was "only" a man, who lived 1400 years ago on top of that, obviously things changed and some of his opinions today would be different
I'm a Muslim myself btw

Is there any basis to the Turkish claim that the Armenian genocide was not a genocide?
I've heard
>the reports of massacres were mass hysteria and exaggerated
>there is no proof of intent
>the Armenian population is too big for it to have happened on such a scale
These sound like bullshit but I don't really know much about the event. Do any serious academics deny the genocide, or is it just meme history?

1804 Haitian Massacre or Genocide?

1804 Haitian Revolution involved the systematic extermination of whites on the island of Haiti after the rise to power of Jean-Jacques Dessalines. This was in response mostly due to fear that the white population of the recently "freed" colony would seek to escape to other white colonial nations and then reimpose slavery on the island.
Interestingly, I've tried to look extensively online and despite Dessaline's very open nature of targeting only whites—regardless if they had sympathies to the blacks' cause—most historical sources list this as a massacre rather than a genocide.
What do you think, /his/? Genocide or Massacre?

Genocide. It's no different than Rwanda or Cambodia.
Well?

Childhood is thinking the USA won WW2 on its own.
Adulthood is thinking that the USSR won WW2 on its own.
Seniority is realizing that both made massive and similarly-sized contributions, and that the real overrated ones were the British.
>>
You can't base a country's importance in a conflict just based on how many fronts they fought but it is true that USA is sometimes overlooked.

Post historical facts, anything that interesting.
Like how Gyza Pyramids were built 2500 years before the birth of Roman Empire.

I'm the resurrection of a forgotten warrior.
I am the bone of my sword
Steel is my body and fire is my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
Unknown to Death,
Nor known to Life.
Have withstood pain to create many weapons
Yet, those hands will never hold anything
So as I pray, unlimited blade works.

Is it possible for a woman to be religious and truly understand religion and faith the same way a man can?
Religion and communion with God is mainly a man's role to understand and belief, and the women simply follow to fit in. It is the mans role to be the pioneer and lead the community in piety, the woman can do naught but accept his better judgement and go along to gain social acceptance and male approval. The only sole exception to this rule is the holy Virgin Mary who was probably God's holiest incarnation since Adam.

I've read here in /his/ that women are naturally evil but if we teach to them what is correct and what is not (like children), they will understand, but it's hard for a women to be really religious and use the faith in correct way as men can.

Why is it considered acceptable to say that all Aztecs practice human sacrifice when it was only a radical fringe minority that did this? It's like blaming all Germans for Hitler or blaming all Muslims for 9/11.

But many people still blame all Germans for Hitler, and many people still blame all Muslims for 9/11. It's human nature to blame a group as a whole for the actions of a few.

>The next phase of the Inquisition began in Portugal in 1536: King Manuel I had initially asked Pope Leo X to begin an inquisition in 1515, but only after Leo's death in 1521 did Pope Paul III agree to Manuel's request. Thousands of Jews came to Portugal after the 1492 expulsion. A Spanish style Inquisition was constituted and tribunals were set up in Lisbon and other cities. Among the Jews who died at the hands of the Inquisition were well-known figures of the period such as Isaac de Castro Tartas, Antonio Serrao de Castro and Antonio Jose da Silva. The Inquisition never stopped in Spain and continued until the late 18th century.

As a french, i think OP badly translated 'Les hommes et la mort" by "the mans and the death" and it should be "the men and the death" or "the people and the death"
