@Bimon1234567 Jihad in western society means Holy War, to Muslims it originally meant struggle for god or simply a religious duty. Holy War concept is the one that Crusaders plowed into Muslims.
Get it now?
Before Jihad had little to nothing to do with wars.
@kalev76 well then you need to look up the wprd jihad and see what it means ,,, and you are over looking teo very important things first 400 yeas before any crusaders crusaded in the holy lands muslims were jihadding in france and spain ,,, look up tours france 732 oct 10 th , charel martel ... call it what ever you wish this was war or jihad and it was about god ,, or at least that what the muslims justifie it as
@lesterclaypool1 Did they actually call those wars part of Jihad? No... Jihad was used for something else by that time... Yes you can call it Jihad now, but THEY didn't THEN - that was my point.. that is a fact...
And "sure call it what you will" is what you did not me.
@kalev76 In retrospect you can call Europeans fighting against Muslims crusaders even before the Crusades were actually called upon by the pope... I would have no argue with that... Simply these were not the points I was making...
What the hell lead to all this? It started by me replying back to a person who said that the video description was misleading/incorrect.
@kalev76 *It's "case closed",by the way.And I think to argue and waste time on these religious fanatics is ridiculous.Logic tells me though that the word was not as you say used from their standpoint.Being religious fanatics,surely all that they do is considered holy.to them,as in phlem.Your point is well taken,I thank you.
you've got it right, but you've left out some key information.
the muslims had control of the holy land and were harassing Christians who went to visit the holy land. the First Crusade was for the Crusaders to be able to have access to the holy land without harassment and violence caused by muslim extremism.
@conservatiive456 I never said anything about why the Crusades were started, why you think I don't know about the history of Crusades? What the fuck?
And now if you really want to come at me with history then know this, muslims did not harass the Christians in Jerusalem, that was made up by the pope to gain back his waning influence. Yes the Crusaders went there because they thought that what pope said was true and ended up killing thousands inside the Holy Land - muslims/jews/christians.
I've researched the history as well. it DID however note that the harassment caused by muslims was exaggerated, however there was harassment cause by muslims in the holy land. some of the first crusaders even had injuries from so. one of the main Crusaders I believe was missing an eye from it.
@conservatiive456 Of course there may have been some harassment caused by muslims, but nothing out of the ordinary. Look at the European countries of that time, they too harassed people and even their own christian people, often much more harshly.
What pope said was not in scale with what was really happening in Jerusalem - that's the point I was trying to make.
@kalev76 not so. when the crusaders took over it was recorded that the muslims living in those areas were treated much better by Christian rule then when the saracens previously ruled there. of course i'm talking about shortly after the first crusade.
@Bimon1234567 no of course not the jihads [ holy wars ] were going on 400 years before any christians crusaded any where ,,, look up tours france 732 oct 10th , charels martel
Typical TV, within the first minute they present a highly debated and actually doubtful depiction of Crusader behavior, as the truth. And yes i am a historian so i would know.
Outrageous! Christ was the Prince of Peace, BUT He was not a pacifist. The "peace" that Christ spoke of was not the mere absence of war, but a spiritual peace of the soul. The crusaders did commit violence, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they did anything wrong. A Catholic can be justified in using force as means of DEFENSE of the Truth. This means that it is justifiable to defend people who are being persecuted. In this instance, it would have been wrong to turn the other cheek.
Yes, it´s the crusadors fault that muslems are terrorists and 9/11! How long time does it has to elapse until a "crime" is prescribed? The muslems want to put ALL blame of their warfare on the crusadors. But... hello! It was almost 1000 years ago, and what the crusadors basically did, was to try to reclaim christian terrytories that had been concoured by the muslems! Why doesn´t anybody talk about that? What were the muslems doing there in the first place!!
@Merrillmiller99 ur a dumbass. srsly the crusades were responsible for terrorists? lmfao
if u think that bro then ur still a little 4 year old in this planet.
heres the problem about ur theory. Christians never had the holy land. Jews did. Muslim caliphates( islamic kingdoms) were highly advanced for their age. Christians attacked the holy land for political gain and shit. The muslims just defended themselves.
@worldofpaul12 You are brainless son of a prostitute. The muslims had invaded the east-roman impire, and the emperor was desperate and asked the pope for help. The east-roman impire was obviuosly christian and muslims had no right to be there. Why is it ok for the muslims to conquer and not to the christians?
Yes I´ve heard of the jerusalem massacre and I´m not saying that it was justified, but everything that the muslims did seems to be. Doesn´t it?
@Merrillmiller99 i feel like banging my head onto my glass table till it shatters and i get brain damage. Sadly i am a sane person and all i can come up wid my head after reading ur comment is my eyeballs exploding. Are u trying to say that the muslims have more right of freedom of speech than us? ARE U A FREAKING IDIOT? srsly through out history EVERY FUCKING EMPIRE HAS DONE INVASIONS, MASS KILLINGS AND HEROIC SHIT. INCLUDING THE CHRISTIANS! AND RELIGION DOESNT DEFINE A PERSO
Therefore we can not give opinios on whether the christians on that time where good or bad, The only thing I know is that they lived a time when religion was the perfect strategy to unify a kindogn and to make kings powerfull.
I hate when I see a documentary that has people giving point of views instead of only fact. It is made to manipulate people thoughts, I am certain that the crusade was made to recover things from the holly land but I will never know why they did it. It is also truth that the Islam was growing by taking others people land and forcing them to adopt their religions.
@Sister NoOrAh, this noorah is a weird transvestite, and a coward, it will not post my comments but keep blabbing about being attracted to me, weird sicko. Degenerate, perverts should be banned from the internet.
I honestly cannot understand why anyone would say that this documentary is actually superior to the History Channel equivalent. Lower production quality, and completely one-sided in favor of the Palestinians. Must be hardcore History Channel haters, or BBC fanboys and fanatics who demonize any documentary that comes the US.
@TheLoyalOfficer You realize that the west is hated BECAUSE of people like you? People who can't think, so they rely on others to tell them what's true? Please, for the sake of those of us trying to stop everyone from attacking us, just shut the hell up.
@Kin Oh so because I break out of the PC bullshit mold means that I "can't think"? What a joke. It is YOU who are brainwashed into your self-hate. No one told me what is true. I did the research and found out MYSELF. Challenge me on those facts rather than engaging in useless banter and personal attacks. I'll be happy to send you crying into your Politically Correct pillow.
If no one else is going to defend Christian Western Civilization, then I will - and easily.
@TheLoyalOfficer Very well, defend it. Meanwhile, you should know that prior to the crusades, the Christian world was a rotting hive of corruption and was both culturally and socially stagnant. After the crusades, having acquired the extensive scientific knowledge of the Arabs, Western Europe began to advance. This isn't "politically correct", it's just true. And you are a shining example of the ignorance that is so common in those who subscribe to a belief system.
@KingLeonidas3267 Well, there 'King', perhaps you will mention how your Muslim Arab brothers invaded France in the 800's? Please share with us, the Muslim invasion and take over of Spain. Least you forget the Muslim Turks never ending invasions of Europe in Romania. Of course, last but not least, the Muslim invasion of Austria in the 1600's.
@rjpancerniCAUSA When did I say it was a religion of peace? It's debatable whether or not the crusades were justified, but it is a fact that, compared to the Muslim world at the time, Western civilization was stagnant and altogether ignorant. I see this can still be true with some westerners. Fortunately for you, the Muslim world is even worse, so you get off the hook.
@KingLeonidas3267 If what you say is true, than post an example of anything, be it an object or a system, that was invented by Muslims. Not Arabs, Muslims. Now, list objects or systems invented in Europe. I have time today.
@rjpancerniCAUSA For one, many of the basic principles of mathematics were invented in the Middle East, as well as several medical practices that would be used for centuries, such as anesthetics, bleeding with leeches, basic surgery practices, etc. Europe... most of what was invented there was made during or after the renaissance, by which time they'd caught up, more or less, with the Arab world. The reason that the Arabs were more advanced was that they inherited Greco-Roman culture.
@KingLeonidas3267 England, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg were part of the Roman Empire. Western Europe. The Arabs, stopped 'evolving' after the Muslim conquest. From the 7th Century forward, Muslim nations have been sand eaters. (unless you consider the 'flying carpet' an invention.)
@rjpancerniCAUSA You've got your timeline messed up. Since the European renaissance of 1500-1700ish, Europe has been the centre of learning and culture in the world. Prior to this, as in during and before the crusades (the Dark Ages after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire), the Middle East had its golden age, having inherited Roman culture from the Byzantines (the Eastern Roman Empire). The crusades essentially destroyed a highly advanced society. Well done.
@KingLeonidas3267 Not at all. Rome was in Europe and everything was fine. Rome collapsed and Euro Nationalism began. Great. The learning from Rome never stopped. It is Islam that retards all education. Not one invention credited to Islam. Islam enters and the ground turns to sand. I pity your left wing, liberal, California education :(.
@rjpancerniCAUSA I pity your lack of any education whatsoever. It truly is great when someone writes a comment so deliciously stupid that you can see right away that they are ignorant of the subject. I can now safely assume that you are not knowledgeable on this topic, and so I will leave you.
@KingLeonidas3267 So, in your "liberal California" schools. Do they teach you about Muslim scholars like: Geber, Averroes, Avicenna, Alrazi, Alkhawarizmi, Ibn Khaldun, & Ibn Tufail?!
@FolkeBernadotte2 Don't live in California, never will. I learn by searching for knowledge, not having it given to me. The only thing you learn from school is how to learn, and Western history is the only option up here.
@KingLeonidas3267 I understand. But some "people" think you don't belong to the west unless you go to some fanatical write wing schools, where you get brainwashed to call others brainwashed.
@rjpancerniCAUSA Not one invention credited to Islam. Islam enters and the ground turns to sand? Your history background kind of sucks. Who inventend algebra, chemistry, astronomy, advanced medicine. Almost every king in Europe, his doctors were Muslim. Hit back your books amigo. By the way, google the following: List of inventions in the medieval Islamic world
@garciagar64 Not the children of Islam. Muslims conquered Arabia, then the rest of the Arab world, then advanced in to Persia, and Africa. Before Islam, Arabs invented many, many things, yes, true. All Arab advancement ceased with Muslim barbaric takeover.
First empire in the world is the Egyptian Empire. Nothing to do with Islam.
@rjpancerniCAUSA egypt was never an empire u dope. And the muslim caliphates were very advance.
they got corrupted and lazy and that was their factor for their decline. Also the mongols wiped their super power ass out. They would have done the same to europe but decided not the advance. Otherwise the eastern civilization would be the great civvie of technological advancements.
Srsly bro dont hate on the muslims. They never refered to themselves as the children of islam.
@YamaKazoo Now be a man and post your actual questions. Stop yer cryin' because your dreams about your precious Mongols and Muslims are being shattered. Admit it, you hate white/European/Catholic people. No worries, you have been conditioned by your masters at the United Nations.
@rjpancerniCAUSA So, because i think your a simpleton for not knowing the acheivments of islamic history and i do means i must be anti white, anti europe, muslim and mongolian. Your an uneductaed spastic. Seeing as your regurgitating bullshit fantasy thats mega phoned across the globe by your virus government why not call me a commie too ? Ye fkn unread ignorant reptile. Ill say it again youre a simpleton i see right through ye.
@YamaKazoo You had not quoted Marx or Lenin, yet. Now, be a man and list all inventions by Muslims (or even by Catholic slaves of Musims...Janisaries, for example.)
@YamaKazoo As I stated; there are NO inventions, credited to Muslims. Your so called 'history' of innovation would be written on a 'post it note'. Now, please name the prominent Mongolian universities. After that, go cry little girl.
@rjpancerniCAUSA lol @ "name the prominent Mongolian universities" ye pathetic fool. Even if i gave you a 50 page essay from american scholars on arab muslim inventions and innovations you'd still deny it. Thats the way you have been programmed. You have google in front of you why dont you use it ? start with the muslim al-Jazari 12th century. Dont make it a competition, just recognise that muslims have in fact contributed a hell of a lot to science of the world.
cannons and sewage system, how to make ice, advancing chemistry, medicine and architect, translating billions of books, including the ones from greece which were burned for dinner by europeans. i'll leave it at that
@soran62 Cannons began with Catholic Marco Polo, from Chinese invention 'gunpowder'. Sewage, Pagan Rome. (mechanical 'refrigeration' (ice) ?) Please, dude, give me the inventor's name. Translating books is not an 'invention'. Note: Greeks are Europeans. I see 'map making' was not on the list.
regarding the fridges, beats me to be honest, i only heard it mentioned in a lecture however, muslims did invent several astronomy devices which gave pretty much accurate numbers [i believe an english movie is uploaded to youtube discussing this don't really remember it's name] it varies little with the current devices, like by tenths of a digit. anyways, regarding cannons, i think i mixed it with the first real use of them in warfare which again has a couple of theories on it
@soran62 unless there is another way to make ice. just askin'. Will investigate astronomy. right now I would credit pre-Muslim Arabs.
Cannons, I say Catholic Europe. The important aspect of cannons was the barrel. needed 'heavy metal' to withstand explosion. instead of cannons we should be discussing metal work. (forges, iron, steel, etc.) the creation of intense heat.
@TheTapeandscissors Pre-Islamic Persian. Pre-Islamic Arab (the original merchants). Pre-Islamic Africans (Egypt, Lybia, etc.) Pre-Islamic anyone and every one. These folks had a lot going on, 'big time'. Then, the grandsons of Muhammed invaded, and time stood still. (the rain stopped, the grass died, and the desert expanded.)
Dont forget pre-islamic Afghanistan, pre-islamic Pakistan, pre-islamic Bangladesh and pre-islamic Malaysia. pre-islamic Afghans, Pakistanis, Bangladeshi and Malaya were Hindus and Buddhists who were the best in the whole world in art, architecture, sculpture and education. Then islam came(not to mention numerous genocides, pillaging, raping and destruction came) and look at the these nation today.
Our rich history start in Post Islamic Afghanistna.
Ibn Sina, the father of medicne
Rumi
Al Beruni the astronomer, khawarazmi, Behzad, and 100s are were part of our 700 years of godlen Islamic history. There is nothing from before u donkey
@TajikMuslimPRIDE Pre-Islamic Pre-Islamic Afghanistan was known as a crossroad for antiquity-era trade. Post-Islamic afghanistan is best known as a revolving battlefield, place where Religion goes too far and women suffer needlessly and are treated as chattel... Oh yeah, and as the opium poppy land...
@rjpancerniCAUSA I read somewhere that they banned crop rotation and leaving a field fallow every four years, saying it was superstition. Hence desert.
Al Beruni the astronomer, khawarazmi, Behzad, and 100s are were part of our 700 years of godlen Islamic history. all islamic. don't forget those 1000s of other Persian, Arab and turk muslim scientists! You could check the British Museum
@TheChristianstudent Sure, if you want to be entertained; if you're interested in what actually happened and how things were back then, this doc is much more accurate. I know (from you're name) that you'll disagree, but saying that christians back then weren't barbarians is as ludicrous as saying the world is 6000 years old. I would expect anyone who has a good education to know that in 1100 muslims were cultured and christians were barbarians. So go entertain yourself with FOX news or a porno
ANY WESTERn DOCUMENTARY THAT DOES NOT EXPLAIN THAT THE T U R K S kicked the canned crusaders asses and made an end to this madness is NOT worth watching.
@Zajuts149 Yes Saladin was a Kurd.But his empire was no kurdish empire,but an arab empire.Anyhow,neiter Saladin nor the arabs were the power that destroyed the crusaders once and for all.Look up Turkish Seljuk Empire.After that of course came the turkish ottoman empire.I am not here to teach.
@MrDenocan ... Perhaps some of the lost souls of the Children's Crusade were little more than mere "LITTLE CHILDREN" as Christ occasionally specifically but not always used the phrase as-in naive fools who'd not yet learned to discern truth & devilish Satanic lies but whatever the harsh reality of the day near a millennia ago tens of 1000's started out on that holy crusade (sic) but ended up as food or sexual satiation (Or both) for someone or perhaps in the bigger picture even something... ???
@PAULOcbi Hey man what is it that you dont get??? i mean even i child would recognize after all these proofs given to you! your like a broken record wich cannot be repaired lol. READ the COMMENTS! and if you dont wanna believe in Allah (God) then take your fake ass and do what you do! Cause there is no forcing in our beatiful religion.
@Attisss stop your nonsense,the idea of a supernatural god-king is a phenomenal appearance in the sensibilty of yourself as a subject (passed down generations) and simply a manner of species of representation. You cant just walk down a mountain like Moses and say "I got ten rules we must follow to galvanize and strenghthen us." They are tribal and ignorant ,they will laugh.You must convince them it comes from a 'higher' source than yourself. Have a coffee ya nutbar.
@PAULOcbi Surah 2:170 And when it is said to them, "Follow what Allah has revealed," they say, "Rather, we will follow that which we found our fathers doing." Even though their fathers understood nothing, nor were they guided? Surah 2:171 The example of those who disbelieve is like that of one who shouts at what hears nothing but calls and cries cattle or sheep - deaf, dumb and blind, so they do not understand. have nothing more to say to you!
@911kratos what can you expext from a crack addict lol. there is only deniel in his little mind! just leave him bee cause it is realy a waste of time and energy! hes putting same argument after same argument and it doesnt make any sense lol
I was taught that Jesus was God in flesh, sounds idiotic i know. So i concluded that inorder for God/ Jesus, to be born through Mary. He must of traveled through the birth canal of Mary, with a placenta and umbilical cord. I know it sounds idiotic to suggest that God need to receive oxygen and nutrients via the placenta and umbilical cord of a woman. But this is christianity exercised in its Pagan form. Unless God was born via a C section, so i apologise so would 'nt of passed birth canal.
@arcz10 Gospels were written by Jewish reformists under the auspices of the Roman Empire. It is based on Rabbi Hilel`s teaching of the Golden Rule. Rabbi Hilel taught the Golden Rule waay b4 Gospels were written. There is zero evidence for the existence of Jesus Christ or his crucifiction. Roman historians who write accounts about Jesus were all born in AD and wrote their accounts AD the same time Gospels were written. Christianity is reformed Judaism,nothing more.
@arcz10 WOW! what ignorance!! "how have you proved to yourself there is no creator?",lol. Its self evident if you are of an intelligent sort. Strange evolution when people have come to believe,thru religion,that they are the universes` greatest collusion,when really were just a collection of cells,over-rating themselves,"hello god?!" and avoiding the truth.
@PAULOcbi and btw i can prove to you that there is a creator , but it' sup to you to believe it or not ,Behold all that is around you on earth: things, plants, insects, animals, birds and fish...
Don't you see that they have accurate systems governing and guiding their life?
Behold all that is above you in space: sun, moon, planets, stars, clouds, wind ... etc., aren't they all functioning properly and accurately and rendering valuable services to our life on earth?
@PAULOcbi Think of yourself, of your organs, of your numerous and efficient body systems, how they are cooperatively functioning to secure healthful life for you!
Who created all these fantastic things? Who established their accurate systems? Who is controlling this huge and complicated universe?
No one dared so far to claim creating, or being able to create, any single thing, even a hair!!
@911kratos WOW! You are completely out of your mind and have no sense of reality. Strange evolution when people have come to believe,thru religion, that they are the universes` greatest collusion when really were just a collection of cells(like all bio-life), over-rating themselves with "hello god?!" and avoiding the truth. What a shame to live your life in a dogmatic state of ignorance and denial,sacrificing the truth for dogmatic faith like a child. Sad
@PAULOcbi The Creator and The Sustainer of all these Creatures is One only; if there were more than one there would have been confusion in the heavens and the earth! That One is Allah (the only true God).
It is very logical, then, to acknowledge this fact, to know our Creator and Provider to be grateful to Him, and to submit ourselves and our life to His Wise and Merciful Guidance.
@PAULOcbi Consider this : An archaeologist digs deep into the desert sand and finds a piece of an old clay pot. After his investigations, this archaeologist can tell us, from this little old piece of dusty clay, so much about the civilisation that existed thousands of years ago that produced it;
@arcz10 the universe is a self-existing matrix of 4 dimensions,3 spatial,1 temporal,they are incontrovertible and cannot be altered even by ones own movement and governed by the Gravitational Constant. So theres no 'supernatural', 'miracles' ,'god-king' or any other superstitious nonsense that exists in your mind only.
@PAULOcbi he can tell usabout the types of ovens, temperatues, and dyes that they worked with, the raw materials that they used, and thus assess the level of their artistic skill and technological ability, etc. All this from a small piece of clay lying in the desert.
@PAULOcbi He knows because he saw that the piece of clay was produced by someone who designed it, and shaped it, and had the intelligence to be able to heat it and produce the pot, and not only that, they also had the ability to colour it and make it look beautiful.
@PAULOcbi To the archaeologist the existence and intricacy of the piece of pottery is conclusive proof of the existence, intelligence and ability of the people who made it.
@PAULOcbi Look around you : at the beautiful sunset on a summer evening, at the moon and the stars on a cloudless night, at the water that you drink, at the trees and how they grow from tiny seeds. Think about yourself : your eyes with which you see, your ears with which you hear, your tongues with which you taste and talk, your hands and your feet, your heart and your brain.
@PAULOcbi .Consider how these things are so complex in themselves and yet work together in such perfect harmony.
From the movement of the galaxies to the complexities of the interaction of molecules, from the dynamics of eco-systems to the intricacies of DNA, all lead to the obvious fact of the existence of the great Wisdom, Knowledge and Power that allows our Universe to exist and function
@PAULOcbi To any perceptive person the existence and intricacy of creation is conclusive proof of the Existence, Knowledge and Wisdom of the One who creates, organises and sustains it.
@PAULOcbi Most people naturally recognise the existence of the Creator, and we find reference to the Creator in all cultures and religions. Even the atheists, communists and (disbelieving) scientists cannot avoid this reality, but avoid the term 'creator', for phrases like 'Mother Nature' and 'the amazing way nature has designed...'
@PAULOcbi How strange in the face of this, that many today reject the belief in the existence of the Creator. Perhaps this is due more to fashion and the desire to justify a materialistic attitude to life rather than real observation and comprehension of reality.
@PAULOcbi Something stranger still, and perhaps another reason for the trend to deny the Creator, are those who claim that a man, or men, who walked on the earth, breathed air, who had bodies and souls subject to the Laws of the Universe, are the Creator, or manifestations of the Self-Subsistent One. This is of course a complete contradiction in terms. Something cannot be the Creator and created
@PAULOcbi We were created from a drop of despised fluid, in which was a microscopic sperm, which fertilised a microscopic egg and we grew in our mother's womb in stages predetermined, overwhich we had no control. We came from our mother's womb, urinating and defecating, needing constant attention and care. Without food we will die, without air we will die ... and then such a one is God?
@PAULOcbi Indeed any intelligent person would recognise exactly how dependant life, the universe and everything is on its Creator. Our dire need for His help makes itself plain in times of great distress.
Imagine yourself in an aeroplane and you know it is going to crash...
@PAULOcbi There will have been a situation at one time or the other in your life when you called upon your Creator alone, forgetting everyone and everything else, hoping, trusting, wishing that the Being you know in your heart and soul that has power and control over all things would help you. The only One you know can save you!
@PAULOcbi There will have been a situation at one time or the other in your life when you called upon your Creator alone, forgetting everyone and everything else, hoping, trusting, wishing that the Being you know in your heart and soul that has power and control over all things would help you. The only One you know can save you!
@PAULOcbi Can we find an explanation of the great universe? Is there any convincing interpretation of the secret of existence? We realize that no family can function properly without a responsible head, that no city can prosperously exist without sound administration, and that no state can survive without a leader of some kind.
@PAULOcbi We also realize that nothing comes into being on its own. Moreover, we observe that the universe exists and functions in the most orderly manner, and that it has survived for hundreds of thousands of years. Can we, then, say that all this is accidental and haphazard? Can we attribute the existence of man and the whole world to mere chance.
@PAULOcbi In the world then there must be a Great Force in action to keep everything in order. In the beautiful nature there must be a Great Creator who creates the most charming pieces of art and produces everything for a special purpose in life. The deeply enlightened people recognize this creator and call him Allah 'God'
@PAULOcbi He is not human because no human can create or make another human. He is not an animal nor is He a plant. He is neither an idol nor is He a statue of any kind because none of these things can make itself or create anything else. He is different from all of these things, because He is the maker and keeper of them all. The maker of anything must be different from and greater than the things which he makes
@PAULOcbi Scientists, even though they are able to reproduce human and animal life through artificial processes like in-vitro fertilization and cloning, cannot accomplish these feats without the basic elements of human life that consist of genes and cells and other organic properties.
@PAULOcbi Scientists are not able to create these things. Even the processes that are used by scientists to accomplish various procedures originated from a source whose intellect was obviously far greater than those who seek to discover and imitate the creative processes.
@PAULOcbi Man cannot attain to his true humanity and acquire peace of mind unless he realises this aim for which he was created. But how can he do this! God, being merciful and Just, has helped him in many ways. He granted him an originally good nature that is inclined to know and serve its true Lord. He granted him a mind that possesses a moral sense and the ability to reason.
@PAULOcbi He made the whole universe a natural book full of signs that lead a thinking person to God. But to make things more specific, to give him more detailed knowledge of his Lord, and to show him in a more detailed manner how to serve Him, God has been sending down verbal messages through His prophets chosen from among men, ever since the creation of man.
@PAULOcbi Hence the description of these messages in the Qur'an as guidance, light, signs, reminders, etc.
How do you disbelieve in God(THE CREATOR), seeing that you were dead and He gave you life! Then He will cause you to die, then He will give you life, then unto Him you will return." [Al Qur'an (2:28)]
@PAULOcbi If there is no God or no life after death the believer loses nothing. On the other hand, the Atheist loses badly if he wakes up to discover himself in the afterlife. In sum, if there is no afterlife both the believer and the Atheist are safe. But if there is an afterlife then the Atheist loses. The only one who can possibly lose is the Atheist.
@PAULOcbi On the other hand, it is the Atheist who is wasting his life. His life has no purpose but temporary enjoyment. But such enjoyment is always tempered by nagging doubts about whether or not life is heading in the right direction. It is the believer who lives in quiet confidence that God's promise is true.
"Therefore turn your face steadfastly towards the true faith, away from all that which is false, in accordance with the Pure nature with which Allaah has Created people. Let there be no altering in the laws of Allaah's Creation. This is surely the true religion, but most people do not know it."
@911kratos The pure nature which is mentioned in this verse is probably the most convincing proof of a divine creator to any sincere seeker of truth. Which person can deny (atheist or otherwise) that when he/she is in dire trouble, when life is about to be taken away from them, when the pressures are unbearable - that then do they turn to that force above the skies.
@911kratos How many times are we confronted by a scenario in which the words: "Please God help me, and I promise that Iwill always pray to you and be good." roll off our tongues with such sincerity? Every time something bad happens, words such as these come out of the people's mouths. Yet as soon as the harm is removed the very same people beseeching the help of their creator, turn away:
@PAULOcbi The concept of a Supreme Creator of the universe has been something, which the western world has been trying to prove or refute now for thousands of years. However, only in the past 200 years have the creme de la creme of western intellectuals, come to the conclusion that a God/Creator of the universe is and has been a figment of mans imagination.
@PAULOcbi This conclusion was formed as a reaction to the beliefs and practices of Christianity, which was a major force in European life at this time.
@PAULOcbi . Beliefs such as that of the Trinity[1] and the divine nature of Jesus Christ, were so complicated to understand - even for the elite of the church - that eventually the idea of a supreme and perfect creator (which Christianity had distorted) was replaced by many new theories which tried to explain how mankind came about and developed
@PAULOcbi . Many different theories were introduced to the western world, but one common trait, which they all shared, was that there was no Supreme force, which governed the universe.
@PAULOcbi So where does Islam come into all of this? Islam[2] is the one way of life, the one religion which until now has not been challenged successfully by any philosopher, atheist or intellectual. Rather the case has been the exact opposite and there have been thousands, if not millions, of so-called 'atheists' who have reverted back to Islam. So how does Islam explain the existence of this Supreme Creator?
@PAULOcbi "And whatever of blessings and good things you have, it is from Allah. Then, when harm touches you, unto him you cry aloud for help. Yet no sooner does he remove your ills then some of you set up partners to their lord."
@PAULOcbi This pure nature which every human is born with is known as the Fitrah in the Arabic language. Every human being, man or woman is born with this natural instinct to recognise the Creator and turn to Him. This is proved by the hadeeth[5] of the last messenger to mankind Muhammed (s.a.w.) who said: "Every child is born upon the pure fitra, it is only his parents that later turn him into a Jew, a Christian, or a Magian.[6]"[7]
@PAULOcbi In fact if humans were not influenced by their societal pressures then their belief in the Creator would be distinct and clearly visible. But unfortunately this is not the case, and there exists in all non-Muslim societies a clear trend to distort the nature of human beings. One of the ways in which this is done in western societies is through the education system and its institutions.
@PAULOcbi Western education is based around a whole body of secular thought which has no place for a Creator. In science lessons kids are taught that we are the ancestors of monkeys and apes and that this implies that we came about by pure chance.
@PAULOcbi In subjects such as psychology and sociology we are taught that religion is a tool of the privileged few who oppress the downtrodden majority.[9] This form of education has also unfortunately influenced the Muslims, and we find it very common nowadays to see the likes of the 'Abdullaah's' and the 'Fatima's' of western society proclaiming that they do not believe in God.
"Verily in the creation of the heavens and the earth, in the alternation of night and day, in the sailing of the ships through the ocean for the profit of the people, in the water which Allaah sends down from the skies reviving with it the dead earth and dispersing over it all kinds of beasts,
@PAULOcbi in the change of the winds, and in the clouds that run their appointed courses between heaven and earth: In all of this, indeed there are signs for people of understanding."

@kalev76 research your history.
you've got it right, but you've left out some key information.
the muslims had control of the holy land and were harassing Christians who went to visit the holy land. the First Crusade was for the Crusaders to be able to have access to the holy land without harassment and violence caused by muslim extremism.
conservatiive456 2 weeks ago
@conservatiive456 I never said anything about why the Crusades were started, why you think I don't know about the history of Crusades? What the fuck?
And now if you really want to come at me with history then know this, muslims did not harass the Christians in Jerusalem, that was made up by the pope to gain back his waning influence. Yes the Crusaders went there because they thought that what pope said was true and ended up killing thousands inside the Holy Land - muslims/jews/christians.
kalev76 2 weeks ago
@kalev76 that's not true.
I've researched the history as well. it DID however note that the harassment caused by muslims was exaggerated, however there was harassment cause by muslims in the holy land. some of the first crusaders even had injuries from so. one of the main Crusaders I believe was missing an eye from it.
conservatiive456 2 weeks ago
@conservatiive456 Of course there may have been some harassment caused by muslims, but nothing out of the ordinary. Look at the European countries of that time, they too harassed people and even their own christian people, often much more harshly.
What pope said was not in scale with what was really happening in Jerusalem - that's the point I was trying to make.
kalev76 2 weeks ago
@kalev76 not so. when the crusaders took over it was recorded that the muslims living in those areas were treated much better by Christian rule then when the saracens previously ruled there. of course i'm talking about shortly after the first crusade.

The Crusades were a Defensive series of Wars to counter Islam.
Unless you like speaking Arabic, You should THANK the Catholic Church, nitwits.
Muslims advanced as far North as France, Sicily, Spain and Portugal-as well as North Africa taking over Christian lands.
They captured and sacked the Holy Land-Jerusalem, killing as they went.
Rome sent Aid to the Byzantines.

Outrageous! Christ was the Prince of Peace, BUT He was not a pacifist. The "peace" that Christ spoke of was not the mere absence of war, but a spiritual peace of the soul. The crusaders did commit violence, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they did anything wrong. A Catholic can be justified in using force as means of DEFENSE of the Truth. This means that it is justifiable to defend people who are being persecuted. In this instance, it would have been wrong to turn the other cheek.

@rjpancerniCAUSA For one, many of the basic principles of mathematics were invented in the Middle East, as well as several medical practices that would be used for centuries, such as anesthetics, bleeding with leeches, basic surgery practices, etc. Europe... most of what was invented there was made during or after the renaissance, by which time they'd caught up, more or less, with the Arab world. The reason that the Arabs were more advanced was that they inherited Greco-Roman culture.

@KingLeonidas3267 England, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg were part of the Roman Empire. Western Europe.

@rjpancerniCAUSA You've got your timeline messed up. Since the European renaissance of 1500-1700ish, Europe has been the centre of learning and culture in the world.

The crusades essentially destroyed a highly advanced society. Well done.

@arcz10 WOW! what ignorance!! "how have you proved to yourself there is no creator?",lol. Its self evident if you are of an intelligent sort. Strange evolution when people have come to believe,thru religion,that they are the universes` greatest collusion,when really were just a collection of cells,over-rating themselves,"hello god?!" and avoiding the truth.

@PAULOcbi and btw i can prove to you that there is a creator , but it' sup to you to believe it or not ,Behold all that is around you on earth: things, plants, insects, animals, birds and fish...
Don't you see that they have accurate systems governing and guiding their life?
Behold all that is above you in space: sun, moon, planets, stars, clouds, wind ... etc., aren't they all functioning properly and accurately and rendering valuable services to our life on earth?

@PAULOcbi Think of yourself, of your organs, of your numerous and efficient body systems, how they are cooperatively functioning to secure healthful life for you!
Who created all these fantastic things? Who established their accurate systems? Who is controlling this huge and complicated universe?
No one dared so far to claim creating, or being able to create, any single thing, even a hair!!

@911kratos WOW! You are completely out of your mind and have no sense of reality. Strange evolution when people have come to believe,thru religion, that they are the universes` greatest collusion when really were just a collection of cells(like all bio-life), over-rating themselves with "hello god?!" and avoiding the truth. What a shame to live your life in a dogmatic state of ignorance and denial,sacrificing the truth for dogmatic faith like a child. Sad

@PAULOcbi The Creator and The Sustainer of all these Creatures is One only; if there were more than one there would have been confusion in the heavens and the earth! That One is Allah (the only true God).
It is very logical, then, to acknowledge this fact, to know our Creator and Provider to be grateful to Him, and to submit ourselves and our life to His Wise and Merciful Guidance.
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi Our Creator has endowed us with intellect to understand and with freedom to choose the right path.
Allah has showed us the right path through his messengers sealed by Mohammad and His Books completed by The Qur'an.
In front of us there are two ways: one is leading to bliss in this life and in the Hereafter that is Islam.

@PAULOcbi Consider this : An archaeologist digs deep into the desert sand and finds a piece of an old clay pot. After his investigations, this archaeologist can tell us, from this little old piece of dusty clay, so much about the civilisation that existed thousands of years ago that produced it;

@arcz10 the universe is a self-existing matrix of 4 dimensions,3 spatial,1 temporal,they are incontrovertible and cannot be altered even by ones own movement and governed by the Gravitational Constant. So theres no 'supernatural', 'miracles' ,'god-king' or any other superstitious nonsense that exists in your mind only.

@PAULOcbi he can tell usabout the types of ovens, temperatues, and dyes that they worked with, the raw materials that they used, and thus assess the level of their artistic skill and technological ability, etc. All this from a small piece of clay lying in the desert.
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi Did this archaeologist ever see the civilisation that produced this pot ?
How does he know that it ever existed ?
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi He knows because he saw that the piece of clay was produced by someone who designed it, and shaped it, and had the intelligence to be able to heat it and produce the pot, and not only that, they also had the ability to colour it and make it look beautiful.
Design ==> Designer.

@PAULOcbi To the archaeologist the existence and intricacy of the piece of pottery is conclusive proof of the existence, intelligence and ability of the people who made it.

@PAULOcbi Look around you : at the beautiful sunset on a summer evening, at the moon and the stars on a cloudless night, at the water that you drink, at the trees and how they grow from tiny seeds. Think about yourself : your eyes with which you see, your ears with which you hear, your tongues with which you taste and talk, your hands and your feet, your heart and your brain.

@PAULOcbi .Consider how these things are so complex in themselves and yet work together in such perfect harmony.
From the movement of the galaxies to the complexities of the interaction of molecules, from the dynamics of eco-systems to the intricacies of DNA, all lead to the obvious fact of the existence of the great Wisdom, Knowledge and Power that allows our Universe to exist and function

@PAULOcbi Most people naturally recognise the existence of the Creator, and we find reference to the Creator in all cultures and religions. Even the atheists, communists and (disbelieving) scientists cannot avoid this reality, but avoid the term 'creator', for phrases like 'Mother Nature' and 'the amazing way nature has designed...'
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi How strange in the face of this, that many today reject the belief in the existence of the Creator. Perhaps this is due more to fashion and the desire to justify a materialistic attitude to life rather than real observation and comprehension of reality.
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi Something stranger still, and perhaps another reason for the trend to deny the Creator, are those who claim that a man, or men, who walked on the earth, breathed air, who had bodies and souls subject to the Laws of the Universe, are the Creator, or manifestations of the Self-Subsistent One. This is of course a complete contradiction in terms. Something cannot be the Creator and created
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi at the same time, needing air, food and drink and being self-sufficient, being temporary and eternal!
If you are one of those who believe that a amn such as Buddha, or Krishna, or Jesus is the Creator and Controller, then think again!

@PAULOcbi We were created from a drop of despised fluid, in which was a microscopic sperm, which fertilised a microscopic egg and we grew in our mother's womb in stages predetermined, overwhich we had no control. We came from our mother's womb, urinating and defecating, needing constant attention and care. Without food we will die, without air we will die ... and then such a one is God?

@PAULOcbi Indeed any intelligent person would recognise exactly how dependant life, the universe and everything is on its Creator. Our dire need for His help makes itself plain in times of great distress.

@PAULOcbi There will have been a situation at one time or the other in your life when you called upon your Creator alone, forgetting everyone and everything else, hoping, trusting, wishing that the Being you know in your heart and soul that has power and control over all things would help you. The only One you know can save you!

@PAULOcbi Can we find an explanation of the great universe? Is there any convincing interpretation of the secret of existence? We realize that no family can function properly without a responsible head, that no city can prosperously exist without sound administration, and that no state can survive without a leader of some kind.
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi We also realize that nothing comes into being on its own. Moreover, we observe that the universe exists and functions in the most orderly manner, and that it has survived for hundreds of thousands of years. Can we, then, say that all this is accidental and haphazard? Can we attribute the existence of man and the whole world to mere chance.
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi In the world then there must be a Great Force in action to keep everything in order. In the beautiful nature there must be a Great Creator who creates the most charming pieces of art and produces everything for a special purpose in life. The deeply enlightened people recognize this creator and call him Allah 'God'

@PAULOcbi He is not human because no human can create or make another human. He is not an animal nor is He a plant. He is neither an idol nor is He a statue of any kind because none of these things can make itself or create anything else. He is different from all of these things, because He is the maker and keeper of them all. The maker of anything must be different from and greater than the things which he makes

@PAULOcbi Scientists, even though they are able to reproduce human and animal life through artificial processes like in-vitro fertilization and cloning, cannot accomplish these feats without the basic elements of human life that consist of genes and cells and other organic properties.
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi Scientists are not able to create these things. Even the processes that are used by scientists to accomplish various procedures originated from a source whose intellect was obviously far greater than those who seek to discover and imitate the creative processes.

@PAULOcbi Man cannot attain to his true humanity and acquire peace of mind unless he realises this aim for which he was created. But how can he do this! God, being merciful and Just, has helped him in many ways. He granted him an originally good nature that is inclined to know and serve its true Lord. He granted him a mind that possesses a moral sense and the ability to reason.
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi He made the whole universe a natural book full of signs that lead a thinking person to God. But to make things more specific, to give him more detailed knowledge of his Lord, and to show him in a more detailed manner how to serve Him, God has been sending down verbal messages through His prophets chosen from among men, ever since the creation of man.
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi Hence the description of these messages in the Qur'an as guidance, light, signs, reminders, etc.
How do you disbelieve in God(THE CREATOR), seeing that you were dead and He gave you life! Then He will cause you to die, then He will give you life, then unto Him you will return." [Al Qur'an (2:28)]

@PAULOcbi How do you deny the Cause of your existence? It is like a machine denying the existence of its maker and not obeying his or her commands
The Atheist position is indeed hopeless. The believer has hope. If there is a God and there is life after death then the believer wins.
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi If there is no God or no life after death the believer loses nothing. On the other hand, the Atheist loses badly if he wakes up to discover himself in the afterlife. In sum, if there is no afterlife both the believer and the Atheist are safe. But if there is an afterlife then the Atheist loses. The only one who can possibly lose is the Atheist.
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi On the other hand, it is the Atheist who is wasting his life. His life has no purpose but temporary enjoyment. But such enjoyment is always tempered by nagging doubts about whether or not life is heading in the right direction. It is the believer who lives in quiet confidence that God's promise is true.

@911kratos the Qur'aan:
"Therefore turn your face steadfastly towards the true faith, away from all that which is false, in accordance with the Pure nature with which Allaah has Created people. Let there be no altering in the laws of Allaah's Creation. This is surely the true religion, but most people do not know it."
(Surah Ar-Rum 30:30)
911kratos 7 months ago
@911kratos The pure nature which is mentioned in this verse is probably the most convincing proof of a divine creator to any sincere seeker of truth. Which person can deny (atheist or otherwise) that when he/she is in dire trouble, when life is about to be taken away from them, when the pressures are unbearable - that then do they turn to that force above the skies.
911kratos 7 months ago
@911kratos How many times are we confronted by a scenario in which the words: "Please God help me, and I promise that Iwill always pray to you and be good." roll off our tongues with such sincerity? Every time something bad happens, words such as these come out of the people's mouths. Yet as soon as the harm is removed the very same people beseeching the help of their creator, turn away:

@PAULOcbi The Existence of God
Invitation to Islam, Issue 1, May 1997
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi The concept of a Supreme Creator of the universe has been something, which the western world has been trying to prove or refute now for thousands of years. However, only in the past 200 years have the creme de la creme of western intellectuals, come to the conclusion that a God/Creator of the universe is and has been a figment of mans imagination.
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi This conclusion was formed as a reaction to the beliefs and practices of Christianity, which was a major force in European life at this time.
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi . Beliefs such as that of the Trinity[1] and the divine nature of Jesus Christ, were so complicated to understand - even for the elite of the church - that eventually the idea of a supreme and perfect creator (which Christianity had distorted) was replaced by many new theories which tried to explain how mankind came about and developed
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi . Many different theories were introduced to the western world, but one common trait, which they all shared, was that there was no Supreme force, which governed the universe.
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi So where does Islam come into all of this? Islam[2] is the one way of life, the one religion which until now has not been challenged successfully by any philosopher, atheist or intellectual. Rather the case has been the exact opposite and there have been thousands, if not millions, of so-called 'atheists' who have reverted back to Islam. So how does Islam explain the existence of this Supreme Creator?

@PAULOcbi "And whatever of blessings and good things you have, it is from Allah. Then, when harm touches you, unto him you cry aloud for help. Yet no sooner does he remove your ills then some of you set up partners to their lord."
(Surah An-Nahl 16:53-54)
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi This pure nature which every human is born with is known as the Fitrah in the Arabic language. Every human being, man or woman is born with this natural instinct to recognise the Creator and turn to Him. This is proved by the hadeeth[5] of the last messenger to mankind Muhammed (s.a.w.) who said: "Every child is born upon the pure fitra, it is only his parents that later turn him into a Jew, a Christian, or a Magian.[6]"[7]
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi In fact if humans were not influenced by their societal pressures then their belief in the Creator would be distinct and clearly visible. But unfortunately this is not the case, and there exists in all non-Muslim societies a clear trend to distort the nature of human beings. One of the ways in which this is done in western societies is through the education system and its institutions.
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi Western education is based around a whole body of secular thought which has no place for a Creator. In science lessons kids are taught that we are the ancestors of monkeys and apes and that this implies that we came about by pure chance.
911kratos 7 months ago
@PAULOcbi In subjects such as psychology and sociology we are taught that religion is a tool of the privileged few who oppress the downtrodden majority.[9] This form of education has also unfortunately influenced the Muslims, and we find it very common nowadays to see the likes of the 'Abdullaah's' and the 'Fatima's' of western society proclaiming that they do not believe in God.
