Do you think the Categorical Imperative can be used as an argument against homosexuality?

The maxim which straight people have sex is the same one fags have sex.

The difference is what they're attracted to.

No, it actually requires homosexuality. If the maxim of "not letting men put their penises inside you" was a universal law, then women wouldn't get pregnant and humanity would be extinct.

Hello, /his/. So, I stumbled upon an article written by Zaidan Jassem linking Indo-European languages to Arabic. And the content of his article kind of bothers me because he goes against everything we know of linguistics and the history of languages.

He takes words from English and looks at their etymology. In his abstract, the author explains that, according to him, there's a link between Arabic, French, English, German, Greek and Latin to such an extend that we could say that those are dialects of the same language.

Example:

Braid: via Old English bregdan 'weave, knit, join together; move quickly; vary', Old High German brettan, from Arabic rabaT 'to tie, fold' via reordering and passing /T/ into /d/.

Source Article: https://www.academia.edu/25589342/_2016c_The_Arabic_Origins_of_English_and_Indo-European_Fashion_and_Modeling_Terms_A_Radical_Linguistic_Theory_Approach

Is it just me or is his theory just retarded? I checked his resume, he's been to Cambridge between 1989 and 1991 and Durham, where he got a PhD in Linguistics. The rest of his resume comes from the Arab World (mainly Syria and Saudi Arabia).

What are your thoughts on that?

In my opinion, this is ridiculous. In his article, he looks at 130 words which are, generally, relatively new, and he often uses "reordering" to explain why the words look completely different. Reordering seems to be the perfect way out when things don't go the way he expects them to go...
But, more importantly, there seems to be a problem in methodology. To establish that link, shouldn't he be looking at ancient languages from Europe and compare them with ancient forms of Semitic languages like Arabic and Hebrew?

I saw a post on Whisper, this anonymous phone app that lets you post things to people in your community, and it was talking about how "Malaysian, Arabic, German, and French are all varieties of English".

I'm pretty sure that particular guy was actually somebody trying to make a point on how everyone isn't all that different or some bullshit, but after reading the article I like to imagine that is was actually Jassem soapboxing his theory on a confessional turned hook up app for college students.
>>
>>1243061
Wouldn't surprise me.
This is the kind of pseudo-science that would allow Islam to seem like a good option. I think it's another attempt at tricking people into thinking Arabic is the ultimate language, which it isn't. But I've seen Muslims push that very far. That comes from the claim that the Qur'an is supposedly the eternal and perfect word of God.
>>
>>1243061
Another example of how retarded it can get:

Cat Walk Show consists of (i) Old English
catt , German Katze, from Latin cattus, catta, Byzantine Greek katta, direct from Arabic qiTT(at) 'cat', changing /q & T/ into /k & t/ (Jassem 2013g); (ii) Old English wealcan 'to toss, roll, move round', from Arabic walaq 'walk' where /q/ became /k/ (Jassem 2013n); and (iii) Old English scewaian 'to look at, see', Old Saxon skauwon, Old High German scouwon , from Proto-Germanic root *skau- 'look at', from PIE *skou-, skeue- 'to perceive', from Arabic qasha3 (spoken sha33a) 'to see' via /q & sh/-merger and /3/-loss; or shaaf 'see', turning /f/ into /w/ (Jassem 2012o).

sura 9: at tawba
the entire sura is about waging war on all nations that are not under muslim rule. 9:5 is the famous sword verse that abrogates all peaceful verses that came before, and gives infidels two choices: convert or die. 9:29 allows jews and christians to practice their faith but under subjugation to the sharia as dhimmis.

>>1242976
no. modern day israel is under another principle: once a muslim land, always a muslim land. the territory israel is on used to be muslim land, so it is not for conquest, but for "reconquest".

Didn't even take you two sentences to contradict yourself, lmao. But seriously you have no idea what you're talking about, stop reading answeringislam.com tier shit.

9:4 - Excepted are those with whom you made a treaty among the polytheists and then they have not been deficient toward you in anything or supported anyone against you; so complete for them their treaty until their term [has ended]. Indeed, Allah loves the righteous [who fear Him].
9:5 - And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
9:6 - And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah . Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are a people who do not know.
9:7 - How can there be for the polytheists a treaty in the sight of Allah and with His Messenger, except for those with whom you made a treaty at al-Masjid al-Haram? So as long as they are upright toward you, be upright toward them. Indeed, Allah loves the righteous [who fear Him].

There is no Qur'anic justification for the expansion under the Rashidun caliphates as such. The first post-Muhammad military activity of the Rashidun was in subjugating rebels among the Arabs, like Aswad Ansi who say Muhammad's death as an opportunity to call himself a prophet succeeding Muhammad and seize control of the umma for himself. Abu Bakr probably intended the conquests outside of Arabia as security measure after the Ridda wars.

>For thirty-eight days, as if the men were not his watchers, but his royal bodyguard, he shared in their sports and exercises with great unconcern.

>He also wrote poems and sundry speeches which he read aloud to them, and those who did not admire these he would call to their faces illiterate Barbarians, and often laughingly threatened to crucify them all. The pirates were delighted at this, and attributed this boldness of speech to a certain simplicity and boyish mirth.

Why should anybody recognize this scum based solely on his picture? It says a lot that no one had commented except you. Most of the planet wouldn't have a clue. These threads (which happen all the time) and mindless. They require no thought by the poster and often don't even give the name of the person in question.

>the emperor of Byzantine
Sorry, you seem to be confused, but the helpful users of 4chan's History and Humanities board are here to gladly help clear this up.

What is often thought of as "Byzantium", "the Byzantines", or "the Byzantine Empire", is actually in fact "the Roman Empire". This is due to the Roman Empire in Constantinople's former status as the Eastern Roman Empire. When the Western Roman Empire was gone, the Eastern Roman Empire became the one and true Roman Empire, and as it was ruled by the Emperor of Rome. Any usage of any form of "Byzantium" is reductive to the dignity of the Roman Empire at this time, and lends credence to the belief that the Western Roman Empire continued in the form of the Holy Roman Empire, which was in fact not holy, not Roman by any reasonable stretch, and not actually an Empire in anything but name. There was also no such office or title as "Emperor of Byzantium" or "Emperor of the Byzantines" at any point in history.

I'm glad to have been helpful in addressing this small matter and I hope you have a good day :)

>>1242787
You're right, I meant the Eastern Roman Empire, which was at that time under Justinian.

Yeah but what's with the placing?

It doesn't seem to be graphing history at all but rather influences. Like you can find philosophers who came after Plato but influenced by him around all sides.

I'm also not sure what the colours are all about.
