I’m sorry @h_factor but you lack the intelligence for me to reply to your posts, despite your continued efforts for me to do so.
I wish you all the best.
So you have no basis to refute the arguments, nor do you believe his information is incorrect, you just really want him to prove that he has the ‘right’ to write his answers without starting every post with ‘im no expert but’ or ‘i might be wrong but’?
Its not what he says, its how he said it thats offending you?

I literally could not be any clearer as to what and why I am requesting some background.
For you to fail to see that and respond with this is simply incredible. I’m afraid I’ll have to stop responding to you, take care.
Maybe he reads.
I have a grandfather who is like that, and he has read and own a fuckton of books. Mostly History and Politics .Some are recent, but the old man is a bit of a hoarder so he has books dating as far back as the 1940s. Yellow stinkin moldy pages and all…
Old man can’t work a smart phone, but still, he knows a lot of stuff, I’ll give him that.
Even I have learned stuff just by reading.
So anyways…maybe Loppar…reads.

Normally people just use basic googling abilities to refute what someone has said, instead of trying to bait them into a dox fight over credentials that only matter if you’re a sucker for appealing to authority.
Antisemites used to have better Google skills, itellyawot.

Wouldn’t that mean that he is likely to be a tool of the establishment?

The what is clear. Comical that you think the why is also clear.
Using an appeal to authority to justify your fetish for appeal to authority does not a logical argument make.
I suppose even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while.
It just seemed patently obvious to me. I’ve been the new guy getting shot at the first time. Pretty sure I shit my pants. Anyone in the kill box, friend or foe, was going to get shot.

I’m pretty sure there was a Sahabi that was tortured to death by a king (edit: a different king, not Abyssinian) for refusing to renounce his religion, but I cannot remember which and I’m having difficulty finding him
That would be an accurate description of Hadith Qudsi, which is a very small percent of Hadith
Many Hadith contradict each other
Why is that impossible through “doctrinal Islam”?
What is “doctrinal Islam”?
Again, what do you even mean by this?
He’ll stop responding to everyone right after he has seen everyone’s report cards.
I miss both of those days in some regard as well.
At least somebody is benefitting from this conflict:
I get that he agrees with you on this, but I don’t see how you got this from what he’d previously stated
On the “separation of church and state”, I will say that I’ve read on these forums many a time in the past that people’s concept of that has shifted from what the Founding Father’s intended
That one’s voting and governing is expected to be very much in alignment with what they believe, it’s more that Congress shall make no law prohibiting the people’s … religion (s) … free exercise thereof … I don’t remember exactly
I don’t assume that the famous Western philosophers of the enlightenment were not influenced by Moslems. I’ve heard they were, but am not sure
Regarding dissent, no. I looked up the word to be careful
Amr ibn Al Khattab did dissent with Abu Bakr quite a bit when Abu Bakr was khalifa. He still obeyed tho. He explained later that he came around to seeing Abu Bakr’s wisdom years later on some of them
One very famous example was sending the army out to Rome right in the beginning. Abu Bakr was very much dissented against at that time
Another one is warring with the surrounding tribes that were not paying Zakat after the Prophet (saw) died. They prayed and called themselves Muslim, and that was enough for Amr ibn Al Khattab, but not enough for the khalifa Abu Bakr. I love them both
So Iran now admits that it was their missile that shot down the plane, that’s a huge fuckup on their part and it couldn’t have worked out better for Trump. Satan must have answered his prayers, those human sacrifices at the Bohemian Grove are finally paying off.
The worst thing is that the plane took off from Tehran, it’s not like it came into their airspace from elsewhere and they mistook it for something else. Someone really screwed up here. All the more reason to make a deal with them so they don’t build nuclear weapons, with their track record they might blow up the whole middle east.
Has Trump really been before?
Is he a regular?
This is unprecedented:
According to this article, there are the beginnings of significant changes in power in the middle east. This article might be worth getting a free account with the Globe and Mail just to view it.

I sure wish there was more writing on how the Chinese view the Middle East…and how Middle Eastern players (e.g. Israel, Iraq, Iran, all of the proxies and militias, etc). view China.
(I don’t know if I have even heard the words “Great Satan” or “Death to China” uttered once in the course of Middle Eastern events)/
They seem like this Potentate sitting up high watching all of these players fight it out in a huge arena…
Anyone with any thoughts?
