Why do shiites take a more relaxed view of religious imagery compared to sunnis?
>>1883013
There's nothing relaxing about that Day of Ashura/whatever you call that holiday where shiites baaaw about Hussein and cut theirselves up.
Though as a Catholic from the Philippines we have our own bloody rituals.
>>1883020
Interjecting because most high-ranking Ayatollahs have taken stances against "cutting oneself up" in Ashura.

Also catholic here. You guys do seem pretty into it.
I was more wondering about their use of pictures though.
>Ceterum censeo Persarum esse delendam
Why didn't his successors listen?
>what? speak English
dummy
>>1882846
Clearly he's saying Persia gots to be wrecked
>>1882806
His successors were idiots
I mean in modern terms.
Or is the whole "the parties switched during the LBJ era" thing just a bullshit meme?
>pic; unrelated
>>1882610
It's pretty stupid to liken things to modern times, given the completely different social contexts and this particular question's entanglement with current fractured and stagnant party politics.
But to answer your question, be would probably be a left of center democrat.
>>1882618
Could you use policy examples to support your opinion?
I understand that they'll be drastically different from today's political issues but the frame work should have some resemblance to modern political issues.
>>1882610
Lincoln would be leftwing because he is a lawyer
So is there any historical equivalent to the Jedi Knights? Elite warrior monks who defend a republic but are ultimately betrayed?
>>1882353
>Elite warrior monks who defend a republic but are ultimately betrayed?
The Knights Templar. They were among the mightiest warriors of Christendom until they were betrayed by the church.
>>1882353
>Elite warrior monks who defend a republic but are ultimately betrayed?
The Knights Templar. They were among the mightiest warriors of Christendom until they were betrayed by the corrupt church.

Not as long as commies are still around.

I'm Sorry, how many battles did Scipio loose when he was in charge?
Not sure if this would be better here or \an\ but what realistically would happen if man were to go extinct.
>>1882119
This is a question for /sci/, and one in which you're going to have to specify the circumstances of this extinction with much more detail before you can get anything close to a non-general answer.
>>1882119
If humans went extinct they wouldn't go quietly. They'd burned the whole world down before letting go.
>>1882119
Back when history channel wasn't shit, they have an entire series dedicated to what would happen if man suddenly disappeared.
Explain the rise of the Holy Roman Empire like I'm Emperor Augustus and you're Voltaire.
> rise
It started shit, and went downhill.
>>1881931
>Augustus
>Emperor
le church sucks, bro
peace out

Is Georgism society's next evolution or a fringe ideology that will never be implemented?
>>1881750
Georgism is 4 fags
The latter. It never managed to get off the ground and any attempt to implement it would require massive, sweeping changes to our very notion of property.
On a purely speculative note, I don't think anyone has a clear idea of what economics in the future will look like, but whatever form they take, they'll reflect the technologies of the time and be products of the thinkers of their time.
What if Satan won the war in heaven?
>>1881204
I don't think you could come up with a less likely scenario.
Michael would have become the ruler of Hell instead.
>>1881204
He couldn't, he was a cuck who didn't even realize he never had a chance.
Why did Aristotle change the ideas of Plato?
What was the need?
>>1881164
What do you mean by this lol
>>1881164
You mean why did Aristotle disagree? Because Plato argued for a lot of shit that didn't make sense to him(or anyone for that matter). Platos whole metaphysics can be seen as quietist if the only world that matters is the world of the forms.
Why ask such a stupid question?
What is the need?
>no more Zizek videos to watch on YouTube
>no more Peter Hitchens videos to watch (and lost interest)
What is there to watch?
>>1881065
...but why male models?
>>1881068
It's saved on my phone for when I feel like posting a face height frame copy pasta.
>>1881068
those aren't models, just your average white people
...have raped half of Europe as seen by this map discerning the yHg of Arabs present in Europe. J1-P58 is the most common amongst gulf Arabs reaching over 70% in places like Yemen, the UAE, Qatar etc...
Arab'd nations:
>Italy
>Spain
>Portugal
>Greece
>Bulgaria
>Southern France
>Switzerland (likely moorish raiders went up there and settled through conversion perhaps?)
>Hungary (Arabs were settled there by the Ottomans as frontiersmen)
>Romania (same thing)
>Moldova (same thing)
>Ukraine (same thing)
>Croatia (same thing)
>Northern Serbia (part of Hungary at the time so same thing)
>Southwestern Macedonia (part of Bulgaria at that time so same thing)
t.somebody from a cunt with no Arab ancestry
Feels good
Forgot about Slovakia.
It makes sense why the have Arab genes. Slovakia was apart of Hungary during its conquest by the Turks and Slovakia represented the Ottomans northernmost border so they settled Muslim Arabs from the middle-east there.
>>1881036
They are getting the rest of them now. Mashallah
>>1881036
This make no sense whatsoever, it's got nothing to with Arabs, Arabs didn't raid regions in the Afriatic so that distribution is non sensical, and they DID settle in Piedmont and elsewhere in Norh western Italy but there's no thrace of it in that map, I highly doubt that haplogroup came to Europe with Arabs, it's got probably to do with some pre historical or proto historical migration, maybe with Phoenicians and Syrians seeing that it's present in Sardinia and Southern Iberia
Are the Khazars the only extant nomadic empire? They're certainly the most successful.
>>1880834
That map is from the 10th century
What do you think?
>>1880842
The present Khazar empire isn't easily represented by a map, but they control North America/most of Europe at this point. The only major state actors outside of their control are Russia and China.
>>1881019
based khazars, there are many good things we need to thank them for
Judaism, Christianity and Islam have flags.
Do other religions have flags as well?
that´s the israeli flag OP
Yeah but you don't wanna know
