And you were treated better than the native born dhimmis. Since your job skills were needed and appreciated in the Mohammedan nation you resided in.
Very true.... we could get away with a heck of a lot more than the local dhimmis who "knew their place" and were dealt with far more harshly if they crossed the line.
It was something I was very grateful for at the time.
I have said nothing about the poor victims of Islam. Those born into it are to be pitied. Either they renounce it and pay with their heads because of Apostasy or remain mired in its ignorance and delusion. It is no accident that the most poverty striken and God forsaken societies on earth today are Moslem. Islam's fruits are clear. The Borg had more freedom of thought than Mo's followers.
There are millions of Moslems who are on the front line fighting these fanatics and I support them totally and praise them for the bravery they show. If they are the wave of the future Islam will survive if their enemies are then it will not. There is no future for a religion which uses murder as a recruitment tool unless we remain blind to its threat.
As for the shortcomings of the Koran that I cannot help. Of all religious texts I have read it is without doubt the worst piece of literature among them. Even religious writings thousands of years older such as the Upanishads and the Buddist texts or the Eygptian Book of the Dead are much more significant and moving. Koranists appear mainly to use it as a means of brainwashing through trancelike chanting. Mohammed didn't even require his followers to believe his religion all they had to do was SAY they did and all was ok.
Should you find portions of the Koran which refute my contentions by all means tell me and I will re-read them.
Attempting to portray me as a bigot is amusing but futile.
I judge and treat all men as equals until their enemity is revealed.
What really bugs the Palestinians is all the Jewish West Bank hilltop settlements that look down on Palestinian communities which (traditionally) are in the valleys with more moisture for crops and forage. Islamics hate to have Jews looking down on them. The dhimmi laws reflect this. Dhimmi laws mandated that non-Muslim buildings cannot be higher than Muslim buildings. That a Jew must dismount his horse when passing a Muslim on foot.Mohammedans demand to have the higher ground such as the Al Aqsa mosque where they can rain down stones on the Jews praying below at the Kotel-Western Wall.
It just goes to show the disdain that they have especially for Jews, and for any "filthy kuffar" in general...
Oh well, the Islamofascists can keep dreaming about the Islamic enchanted forest "end of days" scenario when they will be able to show their real colors and rid themselves of the "evil Jooos" - "Dreaming" being the operative word here...
PS.. you have mail.
When the fox invites the hens to dinner, it's not a vegetarian entrée.
I totally agree. Mohammed was receiving his false prophecies from either Satan directly, or demonic beings. Allah is Satan in disguise.

Don't worry, I'm not going to "lecture" you, LOL. I believe that some cases, perhaps many, of schizophrenia have demonic origins.
I know when it fell, I ment in the general sense the destruction of the Empire was one of the events that precipated the Crusades. That it was not a single event as we would out it is un-important.
