  • LATE 18. CENTURY??? YOU MEAN THE TIME WHEN AMERICANS ALSO HAD MILLIONS OF SLAVES?

    I FIND IT FUNNY HOW YOU TRY TO PAINT ISLAM AS ''IMPERIAL'' WHEN EUROPEANS WON ''IMPERIAL'' GAME A LONG TIME AGO. IT MUST BE CHRISTIANITY'S FAULT, RIGHT?

  • @IC1101 As a matter of fact, there were explicit appeals to the Christian religion to justify the genocide of the Native American population. That Christians were imperial does nothing to detract from the fact that Islam, too, was imperial.

see all

  • when the moslems attack the u.s., that does not help. it is a war.

  • ..fear of TERRITORIAL displacement and dispossession was to be the CHIEF MOTOR of Arab Antagonism... -Benny Morris, leading Israeli Historian 1999

    "America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli SETTLEMENTS." Barack Obama 2009

    "The pre-eminent obstacle to peace is Israel’s COLONISATION of Palestine." Jimmy Carter 2006

    "Jewish settlers, by exercising their "freedom of belief" on contested land, are now one of the PRINCIPAL obstacles to peace in the Middle East." -Sam Harris

  • @Suicide

    Mohammad was a caravan raider with his gang of thieves, raping looting. Low behold allah said you get 4/5ths of loot & allah gets a 1/5th cut, plus die you go straight to sex paradise. Win-win. This was rise of Islam 622AD.

    1787 Barbary Coast, North Africa like Somalis today were pirates who looted, took white slaves, ships, hostages, held ransom. They attack European and AMERICAN ships. This lead to treaty of Tripoli, Article 11 promising muslims we were not Christian nation.

  • We should support the middle easts only democracy and if Israel never existed muslims would still be at war with the west because in doing so they are doing what the qu`an tells them to do. Infact since the 7 century up till the 1st world war they have either invaded or attempted to invade Europe and now since the seventies they are taking Europe from within. As for slavery it was Arabs who sold the slaves to the west and muslims are still dealing in slaves till this very day

  • One thing that is important for you to keep in mind is that someone can say that Islam stands for something, when in reality, it could be very different.

    Regarding the 'Islamic' pirates, judging from the time period, I'd say it was because of some sort of colonial/imperialist movement from Europe in the intermediate geographical area that instigates the Jihad ideology. If you are oppressed, drive them out. Then again, I'm not educated about this particular subject.

  • @mbrown0315 I actually disagree.

    Islam is not Imperial. Imperialism is based on expanding one nation's culture and creating satellite peripheries that are economically dependent and reliant on the parent or core state. While Islam did try to create a culture, based fundamentally on its religious core onto places where it had spread, it was not aiming for economic gain. At least, not within the religion itself. Now the question is, was it used as a means for that? Sometimes yes, others no.

  • .

    You should do a video on the dancing Israeli Mossad on 911 and the vans the Israelis were driving with explosives in them.

    .

    While youre at it, make a video about the paper written by Netanyahus good friends - Richard Perle and Douglas Feith - SECURING THE REALM.

    .

    Good explanation of how Israel and their goons in the Pentagon/DOD/media made up lies to attack Iraq.

    .

    Lets see what you got.

  • Well the pirates were motivated by greed..... plain and simple. And i do agree Bin Laden is upset with U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia...... possibly his #1 motivation. But without a doubt the # 1 motivation for overall hatred toward America from the Muslim world is the result of Israel. Bin Laden is a Saudi and there are personal issues there with him and the rulers there dating back to the gulf war..
