because that would require a totally rational criticism of a religious text which is a HUGE no-no especially for islam

No, these dietary laws have nothing to do with disease, the goal is not to be unclean.

The second goal is to separate the followers of God from the other people. Which really isn't a second goal.

Non-Jews in Judaism and non-Muslims in Islam are allowed to eat pork, for example.

Read Lev 11:43-47.

But if you're still convinced that the goal is preventing or curing disease, you should find a claim that ritual purification, which you undergo in case you become unclean, or simply waiting until evening, has the ability to cure disease.

A theory I've heard is that pigs aren't particularly suitable for traveling through the desert, unlike cattle, sheep and goats.

You'll have to read the talmud to see the modern Jew's perspective on this-not the Torah.

Napoleon is one of those not rare but definitely uncommon people who was inquisitive as fuck and smart as fuck and in addition to that was put into every position and place that he needed to be put into to be absolutely great at everything he would need to be great at to succeed. No he is not overrated, he's just not a genius. He was just a smart guy who thought he was gonna die young and did something with the little time he thought he had.

He was innocent and actually cared about Japan and her people, as well as the fact the Japs absolutely loved him.
Keeping him in power was how we kept the peace in Japan.

first be aware of the diglossia situation: Modern Standard Arabic, the language of writing, religion and media is still very close to the early medieval language of the qur'an whereas in everyday spoken conversation local dialects are used which have changed significantly since then and diverged so far from each other that arabs from different regions often cannot understand each other (though they can usually adjust their speech to be understood)

so you have to decide whether you want to learn the standard language or a dialect (and then which dialect) or both and if both in which order. If your focus is not on immediate spoken communication then i would recommend you to start with standard arabic because it is used all over the arab world and people will still understand you if you speak to them in standard arabic (though it will be strange to them and you might not understand their answers). you can still learn a dialect after that and it will be easier in that direction than learning standard arabic after a dialect.

i can recommend the following books:

for Standard Arabic:
1. al-kitab fi taallum al-arabiya - best textbooks apparently, though i have only used them in parts in a class i took
2. mastering arabic series - very good; includes introductions to dialects

for egyptian dialect: Kallimni Arabi series
for moroccan dialect: An introduction to Moroccan Arabic and culture (Chekayri)

I used a combination of many different textbooks over the years but my learning style was very irregular

Hellenism died of old age. People could no longer connect to idealized immortal versions of themselves which is why they switched to monotheism with its emphasis on virtue instead of the farce that was polytheism

The Greeks themselves killed off Hellenism.

>P-paul was a kike!

Yet the Greeks were persuaded anyway!

>>1377348
I actually do agree with the idea that Greco-Roman culture was killed off by Christianity.

There was a very pronounced rejection of everything associated with 'paganism' by successive Christians. For example, naturalistic art was replaced by stylized and less technically-impressive art; the Church establishment taught that cities were evil and that the peasants were closest to God, which certainly contributed to the decline of complex polities and governments beyond the feudal level, which stifled growth.

It was a CIA lead coup.
White people have been oppressing everyone since the beginning.
Any "facts" you come up with will be ignored, because you are a shitlord.
Also, the CIA made the Arabs enslave Africans to begin with, so hah!

Not sure I see a contradiction. Public schools should serve a particular area near the school. Bussing in a bunch of low-income students from across the city is pretty pointless. Universities have an admissions process that's not completely geographical in nature, so they have to have criteria for admission. Academic merit would seem to be the most logical criteria for an academic instiution to consider.

The first part of The Bell Curve (Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray, 1994) makes a scholarly argument showing the correlation between IQ and crime (and other behaviors) regardless of race. Then they development an argument showing IQ vs. race. It is a quick and compelling read. It was and still is highly controversial. I highly recommend it. It changed the nature of the Affirmative Action discussion when it came out.

Concerning the controversy Howard Gardner of Harvard wrote in his work "Scholarly Brinksmanship":
>"The Bell Curve, near its closing tail, contains two chapters concerned with affirmative action, in higher education and in the workplace. To read those chapters is to hear the second shoe drop. The rest of the book, I believe, was written merely as a prelude to its assault on affirmative action. The vigor of the attack is astonishing."

>"Now, at long last, Herrnstein and Murray let it all hang out: "affirmative action, in education and the workplace alike, is leaking a poison into the American soul."

In a New York Times review Bob Herbert wrote regarding the last two chapters of the Bell Curve:
>"the book is just a genteel way of calling somebody a nigger."

What surprised me when I read it in '94 was that the book is about 250 pages of argument supported by about 450 pages of appendices showing their data. The first part really is a fast read.

The basic conclusion:
Asians are smarter than Caucasians who are smarter than Negroes.
Asians make better cultural decisions (crime, child birth and more) than Caucasians who make better cultural decisions than Negroes.

Controversial

The Bell Curve is an interesting book; it produces highly polarizing reactions to different people. /pol/-types react with glee along the lines of "hurt see blacks are stupid!" Left-ish people react along the lines of that Bob Hebert quote, or are at least unsettled by it.

The book gets a lot of flak for many of its cited studies being funded by the Pioneer Fund, an organization which definitely has a white supremacist bent, even if not explicitly so. It certainly raises the question of bias in the studies, but that doesn't automatically invalidate them; funding has to come from somewhere. Thomas Sowell, who is no racist or white nationalist, made a good point about this: he said studies of race and IQ are so politically radioactive since the late 1960s that it is impossible to get them funded by mainstream sources, so researchers are forced to turn to groups like the Pioneer Fund. He also said there are valid reasons to study race and IQ, pointing out that it is unclear why black girls do so much better than black boys on academic performance tests; this trend does not occur in other racial or ethnic groups. However, no potentially worthwhile research can be done here because of the political situation. Sowell doesn't subscribe to the strict genetic theory of IQ (and to be fair to Murray and Herrnstein, neither does the Bell Curve), but he does believe it is "real" in the sense that it can predict how you will do in life and that it is heritable in the sense that if your parents had a low IQ, then there's a stronger chance you will too.
