Far too much for what it's worth

Qadar, predestination, is part of the Aqidah, the creed of the Sunni Muslims.

Shiite Muslims reject it.

Islamic theologians tend not to fit into the Arminian/Calvinist/Molinist/Lutheran/etc schemes, they simply say Allah does and deterimens everything but somehow man has potential and responsibility.

Calvinist theology is not technically fatalist because of the Perseverance of the Saints and assurance.

Depends, are we talking crazy Jihadis who believe they don't have to aim because God has already decided if their bullet will hit someone, or are we talking fairly westernized Muslims who believe in a generic "Allah has a plan?"

I've seen both.

Bumping my failure of a thread. Should I speak in less declarative terms to open a discussion?

You should speak in less autistic terms. Just say what you mean faggot. Also, your ideas are shit. It's prima facie obvious to basically everyone that it's better to be me living in my comfy house with all the food I want and air control and disease control and a car and all this shit than living on the plains struggling to get the bare necessities of life.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You can't provide evidence here anyway, only arguments. So why do you not think we're making social progres, when just about any indicator you can think of seems to indicate that we are?

Here's the index of bibliographies:

Of the books I read recently, the ones I loved the most are Indoeuropean Poetry and Myth by West; the Upanishads; Theory of Religion by Bataille.

The Great Game by Peter Hopkirk is a very well written book detailing the struggle between Russia and Britain for control of Central Asia.

The Second World War by Antony Beevor is a very authoritative overview of the factors leading to the conflict and the war itself across the whole world.

If you could be more specific what you're looking for I could probably recommend better tbqh

Because they were sitting on a colossal population of slaves, who outnumbered the Spartiates quite badly. The goal of their military state wasn't to conquer or expand, it was to maintain internal stability, which did work. The Helots never did rise up and overthrow on their own, they needed to be freed from the outside in the form of the Boeitians.

But almost all the intellectual output of ancient Greece was not from Sparta. The most renowned thinker Sparta had was probably Lycurgus and he was the one that made them a military state.

What environmentalist tendencies held them back from what?

Sure. They didn't exactly have a from of unity or a goal set in mind.

When Chrisitanity forced it's way through it was because that was it's goal and purpose. After that the end goal was just to obey the pope and create a perfect environment which consisted of more catholic christianity.

>>1701774
I suppose with Christians wanting to convert, or kill everybody. They would need to invent means of reaching, and killing them. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Fuck off

I don't OP, you tell me. Is the internet the reason for your stupidity, or were you always like that and the internet simply gave you the medium for showcase?

libgen isn't that good. It's rather limited, and it's pdf. And you told me of places that required invites, unfortunately I don't have connections with these people.

>The British officer John Masters recorded in his autobiography that Afghan women in the North-West Frontier Province of British India during the Second Anglo-Afghan War would castrate non-Muslim soldiers who were captured, like British and Sikhs. They also used an execution method involving urine; Pathan women urinated into prisoner's mouths. Captured British soldiers were spread out and fastened with restraints to the ground, then a stick, or a piece of wood was used to keep their mouth open to prevent swallowing. Pathan women then squatted and urinated directly into the mouth of the man until he drowned in the urine, taking turns one at a time.

This painting, depicting Verdun, is titled "Hell"

According to testimonies, the thick smoke, the fire, the constant artillery barrages and toxic gas gave the battlefield an almost alien-like quality

In addition, the constant bombing had turned the dense forests into a barren, dead wasteland

It's probably the closest real-life example we have to the Christian Hell
