What about our beloved "Christian" society, where only an estimated 1/3 of 20 million negroes shipped from Africa to different parts of the world by the slave trade survived?

/1/ Your facts are totally false on slave ship survival. In fact, a far higher % of free Irish died in the "coffin ships" in the 1850s than black slaves coming from Africa prior to that. The Irish paid in advance for a ticket, and the brokers purchased virtual derelict ships for the stormy North Atlantic crossing, they had no incentive to do more, and even provided no food etc.

OTOH, the funders of slave voyages paid up front all of their costs for ship and slaves, and only made a profit if their cargo made it across the gentle mid Atlantic safely and in health. The famous drawings of slaves packed in like sardines are misleading, this only happened after the slave trade was outlawed by Britain in the 19th century, and the slaves were packed this way for a short time while the ships snuck away from West Africa snd the British Naval patrols. After that slave went on deck in shifts, and kept their below decks clean and fresh.

Keep in mind, sickness below would literally wipe out the entire investment, a large fortune in gold already paid in full. Only live healthy slaves could be sold to make the profit, the reverse of the Irish experience where wrecks of ships broke apart, and ships that made it often came into harbor to quarantine with half the passengers dead of influenza. They had already paid in Ireland, the brokers did not care if they lived or died en route. The voyage brokers back in Ireland made MORE money by using rotten ships bought cheap that were nearly sinking in order to save their costs.

/2/ More slaves crossed the Sahara under the Islamic lash than crossed the Atlantic, and the Islamic slave trade in black has never ended.We did not invent slavery, it had existed in every nation from prehistory. But to our credit, we did abolish it. Islam NEVER DID.

And what does the Holocaust say about our society?

Well, it says that we spilled a lot of Nazi German blood, as well as American GI blood, to crush the Nazis and stamp it out. That's what it says about our society.

That's a purely African cultural artifcat. The Arabs/Muslims have their problems for sure, but we are a sensual people and the idea of genital mutilation is unthinkable. If some mullah suggested this idea for our women, the mullah would be beheaded.

Gee, are Indonesians Africans now? Why do the Laskars in Sulawesi hold down Christian girls and have their muslim women cut their clitorises off with razors? I will provide you articles on these islamic barbarities thousands of miles from Africa if you wish.

Are we confusing Islam with al-Qaeda?

What is the most popular toy in islamic nations this year? Osama Bin Ladin.

Anyway, how exactly do you tell a covert al-queda terrorist from a "moderate muslim"? Answer: you can't, until you hear the explosion.

Mohammed Atta was outwardly a "moderate muslim" on 9-10-2001.

Would you like to read some articles about open man-boy buggery returning to Afghanistan today?

I guess all those slim sleek Saudi boys and men walking about market holding hands are just.... close and dear friends.

This is from the article and thread titled "Indonesian Christans Butchered in "Islamic Crusades" posted last year.

************************************************

MARINA Rumakur had two choices: renounce her Christian faith and convert to Islam or be killed. "They told us we must convert or they would cut our throats," recalled the shy 14-year-old. Like hundreds of other Christians she fled into the jungle when her village on the tiny Indonesian island of Kesui was attacked by Islamic militants.

The threat to Marina’s life was genuine. Two teachers from a neighbouring village had already been beheaded when they refused to convert. "So we knew we had no choice."

Worse, however, was to come. More than 900 Christian men, women and children from all over Kesui were forced to submit to ritual circumcision as part of a campaign to purge the island of its entire Christian population.

The brutal forced conversions mark a new low in the religious war that has raged through Indonesia’s Spice Islands for the past two years, claiming the lives of more than 5,000 civilians. Christians say the the attacks on the village were led by the feared Laskar Jihad, the self-styled "holy warriors" who arrived here from Java last year to take up arms on behalf of their beleaguered Muslim brothers. As they descended on Karlomin village, the white-robed warriors let out a cry of "Allahu Akbar" or "God is Great", the trademark battle cry of the Laskar Jihad.

After surrendering, Marina and the other villagers were marched to a mosque in the Muslim village of Amarlaud where they were ordered to wash in preparation for conversion. The few belongings they had brought with them were searched, and their Bibles and prayer books were taken away and burned. Marina fought back tears as a small gold cross, her confirmation gift, was ripped from her neck.

Outside the mosque, warriors stood guard with rifles and spears as the Christians knelt and recited the simple prayer marking a convert’s entrance into the Islamic faith. Glancing up, some saw the barrel of a gun aimed straight at them as they stumbled through the unfamiliar words.

For the next week they were kept prisoner in the mosque as the imam observed them praying five times a day.

Despite that, they were told their performance had not been satisfactory and that they would have to undergo a further ceremony. No one dared ask what it entailed. Men and women were separated and led away to a curtained area at the side of the mosque. When Marina’s turn came, she was told to remove her lower clothing and made to sit in the lap of one Muslim woman while another performed the circumcision.

The rusty razor blade she used had already been used on several other women without being disinfected.

"The razor was covered in blood," Marina recounted. "I was trembling and crying so they told me to close my eyes." The women told her that the cut would be "no more painful that an ant bite." That turned out to be a lie.

"The blade was so blunt that they had to cut again and again. It was so painful that I cried out," said Marina softly, hiding her face with her hands. Her six-year-old sister, Emiliana, was the youngest to be circumcised. "It was worst for her because she is so little. She cried and cried from the pain."

*****************************************************

This is the way your fascist "religion of peace" managed to spread at the speed of galloping jihadists' horses in 100 years from Arabia to Spain: at the point of a sword.

Trust me when I say that we do understand your insane murder cult, and that you jihadists are marching for the cliff like lemmings, because Americans will NOT accept Marina Rumakur's fate without fighting back on a level the German Nazis and Japanese Imperialists understand. If you cannot or will not grasp this fact, you will meet the fate of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in 1945.

(Anyway, what kind of a sick twisted "religion" promises those who blow up innocent "infidel" women and children a reward of an eternal orgy in "paradise" with 72 virgins?)

The Muslims lifted the concept of zero from the Indians.

Bush is playing his Caesar role splendidly. Praise the good Muslims, encourage them to remain good and peaceable. And drop BLU-82s on the zealots.

In Islam, homosexuality is a sin so unspeakable that is it is not even discussed.

I've known muslims and that statement is horseshiite.

According to tradition, the heavens "tremble with rage" when such an act is committed.

Too bad for the one who let himself be used (the technical homo in islam). There is that one reference, but most muslims think of things in relative terms. "This is more sinful than that", etc. The more references to something being wrong, the more wrong it is compared to something with fewer references to being wrong. Islamic relativism.

In Iran they still execute people for buggery.

In Iran, yes. In Iran there are strict shias. Most muslims are sunni. And not in Iran.

I don't know much about the heinousness of masturbation.

Masturbation is forbidden since it would be included in the instructions to not touch your penis. That is discussed and forbidden in the writings more than homosexuality. That infers to many muslims that masturbation is worse. "It is better to do this than that." Islamic logic in action.

Frankly, I don't know where you sad little monkeys get this stuff.

This sad little monkey gets his info from muslims. Muslims told me. Existing and former muslims. The muslims told me, that's where I got it. You should talk to some.

Perhaps, it's the same source that the Wahabbis get their information about Christians and jews.

Not exactly, but close. The wahabbis get their info from the koran and their teachers. Sunnis and shias get their info about Christians and Jews from the koran and the hadith and the sunna. The hadith is especially violent about Christians and Jews. That's why sunnis and shias that truly practice their faith are just as much a threat to Christians and Jews as wahabbis are. Luckily, most sunnis and shias are like most Christians and Jews, they don't really practice their faith.

Islamotrash hijacked the brilliance of their arab descendants and took it back to the stone age. Islamotrash has created nothing sustaining but violence.

Amen. Bush's interfaith bs is leading people to eternal seperation from God by affirming their faith in a false, gutter religion. I take it Robertson and other men of God probably won't be celebrating Christ's birth at the WH this year...

So, it would be fair to assume that the 'moderate' islamotrash on this island that allowe to happen should share the fate of all the islamotrash that directly participated and perpetuated this atrocity. Slaughter.

Holy sh*t!!! Talk about conversion at the point of a rusty razor blade. How cruel, barbaric and infinitely STUPID. Allah is the "god" of the STUPID and vile.

Let us compare the life of Jesus and that of mohammed and see true islam.

Slavery:

Did you know that mohammed owned and sold slaves? And in the koran is written woman (and children) are booty of war?
Actualy, mohammed forced two Jewish woman, taken as slaves, to marry him. He also had an Egyptian Copt as a concubine. She was a slave and given to mohammed as a present.

Koran sura 33:50
O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war, ...

Sura 70:30
Except with their wives and the (captives) whom their right hands possess,- for (then) they are not to be blamed,

From the Hadith of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 8, Number 367:
Narrated 'Abdul 'Aziz:
Anas said, 'When Allah's Apostle invaded Khaibar, we offered the Fajr prayer there yearly in the morning) when it was still dark. The Prophet rode and Abu Talha rode too and I was riding behind Abu Talha. The Prophet passed through the lane of Khaibar quickly and my knee was touching the thigh of the Prophet . He uncovered his thigh and I saw the whiteness of the thigh of the Prophet. When he entered the town, he said, 'Allahu Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. Whenever we approach near a (hostile) nation (to fight) then evil will be the morning of those who have been warned.' He repeated this thrice. The people came out for their jobs and some of them said, 'Muhammad (has come).' (Some of our companions added, "With his army.") We conquered Khaibar, took the captives, and the booty was collected. Dihya came and said, 'O Allah's Prophet! Give me a slave girl from the captives.' The Prophet said, 'Go and take any slave girl.' He took Safiya bint Huyai. A man came to the Prophet and said, 'O Allah's Apostles! You gave Safiya bint Huyai to Dihya and she is the chief mistress of the tribes of Quraiza and An-Nadir and she befits none but you.' So the Prophet said, 'Bring him along with her.' So Dihya came with her and when the Prophet saw her, he said to Dihya, 'Take any slave girl other than her from the captives.' Anas added: The Prophet then manumitted her and married her."
Thabit asked Anas, "O Abu Hamza! What did the Prophet pay her (as Mahr)?" He said, "Her self was her Mahr for he manumitted her and then married her." Anas added, "While on the way, Um Sulaim dressed her for marriage (ceremony) and at night she sent her as a bride to the Prophet . So the Prophet was a bridegroom and he said, 'Whoever has anything (food) should bring it.' He spread out a leather sheet (for the food) and some brought dates and others cooking butter. (I think he (Anas) mentioned As-SawTq). So they prepared a dish of Hais (a kind of meal). And that was Walrma (the marriage banquet) of Allah's Apostle ."

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 34, Number 431:
Narrated Anas:
Amongst the captives was Safiya. First she was given to Dihya Al-Kalbi and then to the Prophet.

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 34, Number 432:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
that while he was sitting with Allah's Apostle he said, "O Allah's Apostle! We get female captives as our share of booty, and we are interested in their prices, what is your opinion about coitus interrupt us?" The Prophet said, "Do you really do that? It is better for you not to do it. No soul that which Allah has destined to exist, but will surely come into existence.

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 14, Number 68:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) offered the Fajr prayer when it was still dark, then he rode and said, 'Allah Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. When we approach near to a nation, the most unfortunate is the morning of those who have been warned." The people came out into the streets saying, "Muhammad and his army." Allah's Apostle vanquished them by force and their warriors were killed; the children and women were taken as captives. Safiya was taken by Dihya Al-Kalbi and later she belonged to Allah's Apostle go who married her and her Mahr was her manumission.

From the Hadith of Abu Dawud [6]. Book 38, Number 4348:
Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas: A blind man had a slave-mother who used to abuse the Prophet and disparage him. He forbade her but she did not stop. He rebuked her but she did not give up her habit. One night she began to slander the Prophet and abuse him. So he took a dagger, placed it on her belly, pressed it, and killed her. A child who came between her legs was smeared with the blood that was there. When the morning came, the Prophet was informed about it.
He assembled the people and said: I adjure by Allah the man who has done this action and I adjure him by my right to him that he should stand up. Jumping over the necks of the people and trembling the man stood up.
He sat before the Prophet and said: Apostle of Allah! I am her master; she used to abuse you and disparage you. I forbade her, but she did not stop, and I rebuked her, but she did not abandon her habit. I have two sons like pearls from her, and she was my companion. Last night she began to abuse and disparage you. So I took a dagger, put it on her belly and pressed it till I killed her. Thereupon the Prophet said: Oh be witness, no retaliation is payable for her blood.

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 91 Number 368
Narrated 'Umar:
I came and behold, Allah's Apostle (Muhammed) was staying on a Mashroba (attic room) and a black slave of Allah's Apostle was at the top of its stairs. I said to him, '(Tell the Prophet) that here is 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (asking for permission to enter).' Then he admitted me."

---

Holocaust:

Mohammed used to deal with Jews as the nazis did:

Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 59, Number 176:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.'"

Sahih Bukhari, volume 4, book 53, number 392:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
While we were in the Mosque, the Prophet came out and said, "Let us go to the Jews" We went out till we reached Bait-ul-Midras. He said to them, "If you embrace Islam, you will be safe. You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I want to expel you from this land. So, if anyone amongst you owns some property, he is permitted to sell it, otherwise you should know that the Earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle."

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number 362:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
Bani An-Nadir and Bani Quraiza fought (against the Prophet violating their peace treaty), so the Prophet exiled Bani An-Nadir and allowed Bani Quraiza to remain at their places (in Medina) taking nothing from them till they fought against the Prophet again) . He then killed their men and distributed their women, children and property among the Muslims, but some of them came to the Prophet and he granted them safety, and they embraced Islam. He exiled all the Jews from Medina. They were the Jews of Bani Qainuqa', the tribe of 'Abdullah bin Salam and the Jews of Bani Haritha and all the other Jews of Medina.

---

Can you tell me where I can find things about Jesus life that are in any way like these? This is true islam, right from it's primary sources, the koran and hadith. Now, how 'true' were these Christians who did all this? Did Jesus ever incite his followers to kill anyone?

Mohammed did:

Sahih Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number 369:
Narrated Jabir Abdullah:
Allah's messenger said "Who is willing to kill Ka`b bin al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His apostle?" Thereupon Maslama got up saying, "O Allah's messenger! Would you like that I kill him?" The prophet said, "Yes". Maslama said, "Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Ka`b). The prophet said, "You may say it."

Islam which does not contain all this is 'reformed islam', not 'true islam'.

Travis, if it were up to me, I would annihilate these savages who bring pain and death to so many. But this is no different from the way you (Christian folk) were not so long ago. Barbarism in the name of God is not a recent development. Unfortunately, thanks to British support of the House of Saud and the Wahabbis, and the deeply unfortunate continuation of that policy by OUR governments, a dark and malignant strain of my faith now makes mischief across the world.

Let me put it this way-- if you gave the Klan about 1200 billion dollars in disposable income over 30 years, what do you think would happen?

As far as your point about Imperial Islam in Spain, that phase of history merely about conquest and empire-- the brutality of Wahabbism didn't exist in Islamic society back then. Besides, Europe would still be in the dark ages if it weren't for all that to and fro.
