I kind of enjoyed it, but no it wasn't very historically accurate, especially in how it made all the characters modern day atheist cynics, which doesn't fit that time at all.

Is it really that totalitarian? sumptuary laws? I don't want to use le current year maymay but yes. It just like Escape from LA.
Sharia forbids:
Smoking Weed
Smoking Tobacco
Drinking Alcohol
Using drugs which are not medically prescribed
Prostitution
Gambling
Abortion
Homosexuality, Sodomy and other sexual deviance
Going outside of private space in improper dress
Pretending to be another gender
Music, Fashion, Art and Architecture which is unseemly
Adultery
Usury
Use of foul language outside of personal space and in the media
No fault divorce
Pagan festivals such as Halloween
Drawing
It is quite simply incompatible to integrate by fully respecting all these observances to something else. That's not a bug it's a feature.

Because absolute sacred values?

>>74627
Alcohol was allowed until people started showing up to prayers, drunk
As for the rest, it is necessary for Islam to hold a complete sway over your life. That's why Islam is going to hold strong forever
>>
>>74627
Actually, for the majority of Islam it was far more tolerant of these things than many other religions, creeds, etc. Also, moderation is more key than outright banning so-and-so but the modern wahhabi arabs go around polluting and trying to enforce a strict code because of their own strict interpretation.

The Germans were really desperate to stop supplies which is why they stopped and then started unrestricted submarine warfare.

He's my favorite. Then again, I'm a Christian as well.
I also felt like a kindred spirit sort of thing when I read his work and about who he was as a person. I understand his feels he felt.

Why do you think there are so many Germans philosophers? Is there something about Germany or Germans that make them such great thinkers? And why did this become so big in the 1800s and early 1900s? To name a few German philosophers we have
>Schopenhauer
>Nietzsche
>Hegel
>Ludwig Wittgenstein
>Marx
>Soren Kierkegaard
and those are just the more well known. I have nothing against it, I just want to know why philosophy was so big in Germany at the time?

It certainly makes up for their lack of literature (before 1850).

>>73757
Ok, Kierkegaard was Danish I didn't know. But Wittgenstein is Austrian and fuck Austria, I'm calling him German. (namely to spite a bad vacation I had in Austria)

Why is the Taiping Rebellion almost forgotten about in the west? It was one of the deadliest conflicts in human history and it's almost never brought up. Plus the idea of a Christian state in China ruled by a guy who thinks he's god second son is just insane.

How the fuck have I never heard about this?
>>
>>73622
Because at that point in time Western thoughts on the Qing had a complete reversal and the Chinese were considered backwards and unimportant. The mindset still stands today, which is why no one can have a decent Eastern history thread on this board without some anon jerking off to alleged western superiority.

Favorite pilot is probably Hans-Joachim Marseille. Got drunk a lot, boned lots of bitches, shot fools down like it was nothing. Oh, and he liked listening to degenerate Afro-Judeo swing.
>>
>>73564
Just read this shit, absolutely zero fucks given by this madman
>Marseille demonstrated his lack of respect for the Nazi elite during his visit to Germany in June–August 1942. Marseille was a gifted pianist and was invited to play a piece at the home of Willy Messerschmitt, an industrialist and designer of the Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter Marseille had achieved so much success in. Guests at the party included Adolf Hitler, party chairman Martin Borman, Hitler's deputy and Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe, Hermann Göring, head of the SS, Heinrich Himmler and Reich Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels. After impressing with a display of piano play for over an hour, including Ludwig van Beethoven's Für Elise, Marseille proceeded to play American Jazz, which was considered degenerate in Nazi ideology. Hitler stood, raised his hand, and said "I think we've heard enough" and left the room.[191] Magda Goebbels found the prank amusing and Artur Axmann recalled how his "blood froze" when he heard this "Ragtime" music being played in front of the Führer.[192]

Why is it that Europe - and its peoples - have delivered the overwhelming majority of progress to human civilisation?

More geniuses and higher testosterone levels in white people.

>>73468
The real, unbiased answer - the Caucasian race developed in the Middle East and spread out into Europe, while some states in the Middle East. This racial type is known as Western Cro-Magnon. The whites that remained in the Middle East developed agriculture, the one true key to civilization. This is why all advanced cultures either came from the Middle East or had extensive contact with them. Here are some examples; Rome, Greece, Persia, Mesoptomania, Egypt, etc. etc. Even Britain owes its success to its Neolithic invaders from the Mediterranean! For the most part, whites are a mix of these Middle Eastern whites and the whites that went to Europe in the Paleolithic, preceeding the Neolithic and adoption of agriculture.
