I thought he was alright before but he threw a fit when I questioned some stuff he was saying regarding Israel, maybe he’s just a bit touchy about his country.
I blame nobody for what country they were born into or who their parents are. I don’t like what the state of Israel is doing with regards to a number of things, but neither do a lot of Jews, including some who live in Israel. Israel has the upper hand in the middle east no doubt, sure the Arabs and Iranians are a difficult bunch to deal with but if Israel wants peace they have to stop causing shit. Idiots like Hamas launching what is little more than toy rockets only gives the fanatics in Israel an excuse to escalate things further.
What is this, the pot calling the kettle black? How many countries has Hezbollah invaded? How much land are they illegally occupying in contravention of international law?
Yeah, they’re a thing. There’s a massive body of poetry/sagas from the Middle Ages. The difference from, lets say European chivalric literature is that there’s more fawning over handsome male slaves/servants.
No. Unfortunately, my knowledge is sketchy when it comes to the Mishnah for example.
If anyone is looking for reason why Trump would act like Iran’s missiles didn’t damage anything and it’s no big deal and everything is cool, this might have something to do with it:
Is that a joke of some sort? My point is that the Talmud has rules that contradict the Torah/Old Testament.
The Hadiths are similar, and it’s not so straightforward regarding Sharia. This is part of why Sunnis and Shiites don’t get along, they believe in different hadiths which puts them in conflict and each side accuses the other of apostasy. You probably heard that Muhammad was a pedophile and married a girl around 6 or 9 years of age, and as a result in some Muslim countries it is permitted to marry little girls. However, this is from one of the hadiths, the Quran says nothing about him marrying prepubescent girls. So take that for what it’s worth.
Yes, and the point is that both Judaism and Islam finer points of religious jurisprudence were discussed inside the wider doctrinal discussion, not outsourced to non-religious courts founded in an alien legal system.
Well to be honest there isn’t much in the Quran itself about sharia. Mostly inheritance stuff if I remember correctly. Most of the religious legal framework comes from the Hadiths.
Well, with the bible the laws were supposed to have been dictated to the prophets by God and the Talmud is interpretations of and additions to those laws by rabbis who cannot claim to be prophets, so it’s essentially the same thing.
So on the topic of Iran, the US is now saying that the plane crash is a result of an Iranian missile hitting the plane. My thoughts are that while this is possible, it is too much of a coincidence (right after strikes on US bases) not to be skeptical. If the Iranian military really did do it, it’s a huge fuckup and they would be best to admit it. They would have to pay compensation of course, but seeing as the victims were mostly Iranians it might not go over as badly. They could have a national day of mourning and the Ayatollah could cry and pray for them and so on, I expect that fellow Iranians would be more understanding.
It could just be a plane malfunction and the US now wants to stir up some shit against Iran, but the timing of this is so perfect for the US that I find it the least likely scenario, though still possible. The other option is that it was an act of sabotage by US agents or those allied to them, or maybe even there was a missile fired by US agents. Would it be impossible to retro-fit a drone with a Russian SAM missile? They had stealth planes for decades, they could very well have stealth drones.
And of course male feminist soyboy Trudeau is siding with Trump. He feels like a big man now that he can finally grow a beard.
Press TV has satellite images showing damage to US bases. It all comes down to who you trust. I trust neither, but I distrust the Trump administration more.
Edit: same photos in both articles, but again it only shows a few buildings that the missiles hit and neither proves whether anyone was in them. He said, she said.
I was trying to figure out how the lizard people fit into this, now it all makes sense. I will believe that Harry and Meghan have really left the royal family when they reveal the queen to be the shape shifting reptilian that she is.
