Yeah I mean I imagine that happened to a lot of pagans when confronting Christian armies. It's the main reason why I hate how there is this resurgence of magical belief in of color communities.

1. If it was a Spirit you don't know why they advised that action; if super intelligent there may have been good reasons for doing so.... or not.
2. Ironically the Sun probably turned red as it set.
3. Might have been delusional; people have done many stupid things under the influence of "mass delusions" and psychosis. Untold suffering has been caused by man's irrational actions.
4. This level of mass starvation and death is only a statistical blip when compared to the mass starvation and death caused by mans rational actions in Soviet Ukraine and in Communist China; ironically this means that the only thing that exceeds the suffering and death that mankind causes when he's being irrational is the suffering and death he causes when being rational.....

Fucking retards.

well, yes, actually, his was like any other despotic regime in the far corners of the world in our modern era

one fact that sticks with me are the tubs of acid used to destroy bodies of dissidents

No. He was a good leader. His values clashed with those of the West but >>2953000 takes for granted his perceived moral superiority.

persians and syrians were responsible for that, not arabs. All arabs did was invade those countries and force islam on them. There was no such thing as an "islamic golden age", there was nothing islamic about it

>>2952533

Yes, if NATO had not initiated a weapons trade embargo, the Bosniaks would have been able to fight back more effectively and the S*rbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina could have been wiped out.

>>2951103
If it wasn't for western meddling with the whole weapons embargo where croatians had to smuggle weapons and fight against the 4th largest terrestrial army in europe using police forces in the early stages of the war, we'd burn fucking belgrade down.

The NATO did absolutely jack shit in bosnia and croatia.

That tells more about you than about other people tbqhwy

First of all, stop thinking of it as a pissing contest, especially between "Arab Muslims and European Christians", that doesn't even make sense. In Europe it was really half a dozen countries with ports on the Atlantic coast colonizing everything and the Islamic colonial ventures owed as much to North Africans, Persians (incl. Zoroastrians), Turks or Balkaners as it did to actual Arabs, Jews played a role in both etc. Islam was spread in Sub-Saharan Africa mostly like in Southeast Asia by local rulers who were influenced and converted and then went about conquering their neighbors.
The closest thing to Western-style colonialism was when Oman took over Portugal's East African colonial holdings (Zanzibar and the Swahili coast had already been Islamic footholds centuries before the Portuguese arrived, but they weren't ruled in the same way.)

Overall the Islamic world largely missed the modernist train, the diffuse influence of their empires can be likened to Chinese hegemony. It's not that they never engaged in something you could call colonialism (the Chinese did too), it's that they did their colonizing in a rather old-fashioned way without much effort, while the Western enthusiasm for colonialism was very peculiar and their models were innovative. Add a dash of Eurocentrism and the (mostly true) idea that Orientals were stagnating and that's why few bothered to study Islamic colonialism.

Arab is a socio-linguistic identity that was adopted over generations. It's not a race or ethnicity.

Don't be silly and perpetuate fictive sides and positions.

Secondly Madagascar is totally wrong.

The media for destroying the guy's life and hounding him out of his comfy pizza job.

I respect them too much to scan them in and post their image on the internet for attention

>>2952892
it's not for attention, you can't find photo's like this on the internet, it's more interesting when people post them and explain the story behind them, but ok be a fag

If they had todays standards back then they would look better. They didnt go for todays standards because those didnt exist.

>The Edict of Milan

Was this one of the best or worst moments in history? We now live the benefits of religious freedom because of this Edict, but it argubaly sped up the decline of the Roman empire

>Anglo-Portugese alliance

What is the point of this alliance even? Have the Portuguese even contributed anything in the past 500 years?

But it wasn't always considered so, and besides, it's an integral part of the human spirit and condition
