Euro's would still be speaking in grunts and walking on fours were it not for the African Moors and Muslims.

@ahmzoclaat Historians would laugh at you for making such a statement. And besides, the Arabs got everything they had from Christian Greeks, Armenians, Jews, and pagan Persians.

Crusades were a befitting reply to the Arab Imperialism. Kudos to the crusaders to stop the Islamic juggernaut.

Sadly many people don't look into history to find the facts. They rather have someone tell them instead of researching it themselves. But you in error. Cannabalism is allowed in Islam. Depending on the situation if its necessity.Read in the Quran (2: 173 and 16: 115)

both are disgusting as you are

Also if Ridwan was a Muslim man why would another Muslim want kill him and eat him, rther than eat the enemy, unless he was a slave and not a Muslim yet

[vixi92]

that says it all, Christians eat because they are starving and Muslims eat because it is their religion. When in fact Christians are encouraged to eat Jesus flesh and Drink his blood. The dead gut was not Hallal

@CaoilteMacRonan  Love your way of dealing with ol' Cock-toe. Sarcasm is a fine way to deal with such critters. He seems to be kinda hung up on Dahmer Brand meat products, which might be evidence someone spooned out half his mind when he wasn't lookin'. Of the books I've read on the "Crusades," it doesn't look like either side can carry any high moral tone, but the Muslims were on their land, and the Crusaders were intruders. Best solution wuda been for each to have consumed the other.

@Cocteau120 Mr. Cock-toe doesn't seem to like the notion of Muslims. Too bad for Mr. Cock-toe. We're all idiots, morons, etc while the Crusaders...well-meaning Christians all....were simply Purina Crusader Chow for the heathen hordes of man-eating desert dwellers who had no business trying to drive out those godly people roaming uninvited into their land. I can't really address Mr. Cock-toe's obsession with ladyfingers and peopleburgers, but can recommend a good doc on the Donner Party!!

@triarii11 Historians would consider you an absolute idiot. Your idiotic conclusions are ABSOLUTELY in dispute...by scholars. Scholars would consider you an ignorant buffoon.

[Cocteau120]

@triarii11 the Muslims were by and large corrupt, beastly animals. That isn't in dispute. They were greedy, anti-Christians of the first order...the kind of things that has helped give Islam the wonderful reputation it currently has. They were a blight pretty much wherever they went and are better dead.

[Cocteau120]

@triarii11 You're an idiot.
