QUOTE(concheet @ 05/21/07 08:00 PM) [snapback]109726[/snapback] nobody is not saying what you claim he is saying at all. But let's consider the Copts and their 9% in Egypt, since you do. The history of the Copts in Eygpt can be read here: http://www.copts.net/history.asp and illustrates nobody's point nicely. You dont get it. Over 95% of all Egyptians are INDIGENOUS, so historically what you had was a shift in the dominant religion amongst the indigenous peoples. Having a religion spread is different than erasing most of the indigenous peoples across the Americas. Capish? To assert that the indigenous of the Americas (a handful these days due to the mass rape and genocide commited by YOUR judeo-christian white people) face challenges from Muslims is a JOKE. You clearly dont know the history of how YOUR people forced the natives into new religions, enslaved them, forcefully inbred with them, etc. Then again, you quote Patton..lol

PEOPLES Except from small pure Berber populations in the west and Nubians in the south, the population of Egypt is a mixture of principally Egyptians and Arabs, but also with some Nubian and Berber blood. As Egypt has always been an international country, mixture of races has been going on continually for at least 6,000 years. Hence, it is hard to point to any form of original Egyptian race or races. But we can clearly assume that the amount of Arab blood is quite little compared to the Egyptian, although Arabs had a strong impact on the Egyptians, bringing about a change in their language and cultural identification. Today's Egyptians consider themselves as Arabs, as well as direct descendants of the Ancient Egyptians. Both ideas are correct. Egyptians become gradually darker in skin color the further south one goes in the country, shaped by contact with negroid peoples from the Sudanese area. People belonging to the Coptic church are also slightly different from the rest of the Egyptians in racial terms. The Copts are normally considered as the group that is least mixed with invading peoples, at least since the Muslim era started in 7th century. Jews have mainly avoided intermarriage with other groups in recent centuries, but they speak the same Egyptian Arabic language as everyone else. The Berbers living in the west (Siwa oasis, the oases west of the Nile and along the coast west of Alexandria), primarily speak Arabic, but Berber language is still strong in Siwa. Most Nubians in the south have now been Arabized in language and culture, and consider themselves mainly as Arabs, even if they racially are not. A large minority of them still, however, do speak the Nubian language. http://lexicorient.com/e.o/egypt_4.htm

al QUOTE You forgot that the White Plague killed millions and millions of them in the name of Christianity and colonization a few centuries back. Muslims dont really have many indigenous to interact with, doo-doo head. oh please al, if you want some real numbers go to china/russia under mao/stalin. soon we will be able to add kills of the blacks of the sudan by the imported arabs. let us not forget the iran/iraq slaughter. we might even say a word or two about the berbers, or the armenians by the turks. then of course we could talk about the arab moslem slave trade and the bones that litter the slave trade routes to the arab countries and turkey. also we could make a reference to the million white slaves from which the word slave came from - slav. destroyed millions of lives will leaving them alive. here al, a graphic just for you:  you will notice turkey & pakistan under the megamurder title, with a repeat for turkey under the centi-kilomurderers along with indonesia. all within the 20th century. so islam is a modernist in the murder world along with all the rest. THE BLACK HOLOCAUSTTHE HOLOCAUST "(hol e kost), n. 1a. a great or complete slaughter or reckless destruction of life. "The Black Holocaust is one of the more underreported events in the annals of human history. The Black Holocaust makes reference to the millions of African lives which have been lost during the centuries to slavery, colonization and oppression. The Black Holocaust makes reference to the horrors endured by millions of men, women, and children throughout the African Diaspora. In sheer numbers, depth and brutality, it is a testimony to the worst elements of human behavior and the strongest elements of survival." The Black Holocaust: From Maafa to Colonization KAMMAASI / Sankofa Project Guide, 1999: http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Class...kholocaust.html Muslim traders exported as many as 17 million slaves to the coast of the Indian Ocean, to the Middle East, and to North Africa. African slave exports via the Red Sea, trans-Sahara, and East Africa/Indian Ocean to other parts of the world between 1500-1900 totaled at least 5 million Africans sent into bondage. Between 1450 and 1850, at least 12 million Africans were shipped from Africa across the Atlantic Ocean--the notorious "Middle Passage"--primarily to colonies in North America, South America, and the West Indies. 80% of these kidnapped Africans (or at least 7 million) were exported during the 18th century, with a mortality rate of probably 10-20% on the ships enroute for the Americas. SOURCE******************************************************************** sorry al, you can't take the moral high ground if you are swimming in the same toilet.

I said MOST are INDIGENOUS to Egypt. As for dubmass nobody, we were discussing conquests of indigenous peoples not the vast scope of conflict addressed by your chart. By the way, whats your point using that chart? it doesnt help you? White Judeo-Christian Europe literally beats everyone else by roughly 30 MILLION people murdered!! THat doesnt help your case. Try again. This time in context. Regarding African slaves.....I think your point was......"The Arabs sold us slaves so its their fault white Judeo-Christians murdered over 4 million of them"..............right?

"Lutfi calls for reviving the Heoglyphic and Coptic languages and has been teaching scores of students the Heroglyphic language in his house since 10 years. He studied Heroglyphic language at the French Surrbornne university after he had graduated in 1948 from the law faculty, Fouad 1st university ( the current Cairo university). He also studied at London's university for more than 3 years." This is a strong rejection of the general Islamic contempt for the pre-Islamic history of Muslim nations.

Not unlike the Iranians who prefer to be called Persians. Arab Christian and Arabs Jews both identify themselves as Arabs. Matter in fact, they are the most nationalistic of Arabs. The founder of the Pan-Arabist Baath Party was an Arab Christian. This is the plan of the Zionist occupation, divide and conquer. Convince the Arab Christians in Lebanon and Palestine that their not Arabs. In effect, less resistance against their illegal occupation. Too bad Arab sentiment is stronger than any religious affiliations for Arab Christians.

Ex-muslimsby Hafid BouazzaSome time ago I happened to see a talk-show in which a 'girl of halal' (of the ritual [untranslatable pun on the word gender] so to speak) scomfully stated that Ehsan Jami of the PvdA, who wants to form a comittee for ex-muslims, brings polarisation about. I zapped quickly away: the fragment gave me the spiritual equivalent of a swig of beer from a can that had been used as an ashtray. That's how I know my muslims: after Pim Fortuyn's murder many spoke about the demonization of islam; now they have learned yet another new word: polarization. Why the numerous islamic organisations would not be polarizing, but a comittee of ex-muslims would, is a mystery to me. If anything is polarizing, then it is the sectarian character of islam, with it's virulent, exclusive unitarianism of Allah. Just as miraculous is, that a gifted director like Eddy Terstall, who nota bene co-wrote a pamphlet about the freedom of opinion, has himself been used by the PvdA to not only 'restrain' Jami, but, apparently, also to protect him against himself. Because he's still so young. Every right-minded artist should stand firm behind the freedom of expression -whether the expression charms him or not. But who's being protected here, it's not Jami, but the muslims. These have, for already quite some time, been the noble savages for the PvdA, or rather: what animals are to Marianne Thieme, muslims are to the PvdA: a perfect screen to project meekness and infinite cultural understanding upon. A dangerous brand of sentimentality. In the editorial of the Volkskrant (6/6/2007) also sidenotes were made about the fact that Jami takes Ayaan Hirsi Ali as an example. Rubbish and well-meant paternalistic gibberish. Why is it legitime to take an in mythical rags dressed prophet as an example yet not a real existing person of flesh and blood and brightness? Only because of anciënnity and massiveness? Terstall called himself a Stasi; that was, in his own words, ironically intended. Yet it's the whole story: in politics there's no room for irony, since where irony grins, hypocricy flies. And hypocrisy and politics are best of friends of oneanother. Holland has no knees left; it seems as if it has massively started to pray, direction Mekka - bottom towards the future. It is that individuality has my highest priority, if not I'd join Jami's comittee. Via this medium I do want to give him and his my support though - and however small this support may be, it is unconditional. http://www.peterbreedveld.com/archives/00000989.html

Djeez Chase, it was a simple question, without any intentions (other than my curiosity), about the remarks he made in this little movie: that he was against US presence in Saoudi Arabia in particular or in the Middleeast in general.
Btw, I didn't so much support Fortuyn as in vote for him (or rather: would have voted for him), I supported his criticism of what he called 'The Leftwing Church'. I voted against the ones who demonized him, by portraying him as a fascistoid, racist, xenophobic populist. The MSM press did that too, nationally and later on internationally, to which I was referring. Fortuyn was the first victim of the multicultural doctrine.

Remember al-Jazeera and CNN in Bagdad with Saddam? Or Alan Johnson in Palestine? I know of excellent reporters who are banned from Palestine - one of them Michael Totten. Why? Because they'll report exactly what they see and not what they're ordered to report. So what was with your supporting Pim and not Wilders? I know we had a conversation about it and couldn't figure out your stance as to why one and not the other.

I had answered your question already over here. I could add to that f.e. one issue that clearly distinguishes Wilders from Fortuyn: Wilders wants to repatriate criminal Dutch born 2nd generation immigrants to the country they descent from. That would effectively mean deportation and would violate every basic of a constitunional state. Fortuyn did explicitely state the opposite, as good as verbatim: "they're our youths, hence our problem". (Btw, the creation/evolution Q is here.)QUOTE(Michael @ 06/10/07 07:25 PM) [snapback]111267[/snapback] Wasn't that Van Gogh? Thinking of that Pim was killed by a Dutch animal rights-activist-vegetarian? No, Fortuyn was being demonized (which means as good as outlawed) by the multiculturalists and eventually assasinated by a far-left 'activist', read terrorist. The multicultural doctrine would do that to any dissenting voice. Even for simply stating a fact, f.i. (and this is historical) that 60 percent of prisons were peopled by non-native Dutch, you would be called a racist, just like Galileo wasn't allowed to state that the earth orbits the sun because it didn't fit in the ruling doctrine. As for Theo van Gogh, he wasn't precisely a victim of this doctrine, but rather of it's fruits. Van Gogh was a direct victim of islamist terrorism, which of course could flourish in such circumstances.

QUOTE(chase @ 06/09/07 08:29 AM) [snapback]111148[/snapback] Now ask me what I think of European Foreign Policy - I can sum it up in three words.  The EU foreign policy is a mess, but we should remember that this is much because of the "fact" (which has led to the saying that I heard quite frequently when Chirac still was in power: France decides and Germany pays) that EU foreign policy was very heavily influenced by France, which in turn was led by Chirac who saw the US more like a competitor rather than as a friend. But as I said earlier: I hope that this will come to an end when Sarkozy has taken the lead, but he has to rebuild France's economy and social system at first which was neglected by his predecessor. Brown in Britain is apparently a great friend of the US and said in the last Time Magazine this about the US: "I believe the shared interest that is founded on shared values is a very potent foundation for all relationships in the future". So the future looks bright and I hope for the best. QUOTE What did you think of the credit Pim gave to Judeo-Christian morals, values and the enlightenment? The factoids omitted from that holy of holies the EU Constitution. Remember that neither the US Constitution says anything about Judeo-Christian values as that's a concept which, according to the Oxford English Dictionary (yes, I checked in on Wikipedia) if you want to know  ), is over one hundred years older than the US constitution and still the Christian religious life works very well in the US. I'm strongly in favor of the traditional liberal ideas of the enlightenment philosophers which to me led to the modernization of Christianity which made it, to me, the world's best religion. Secularism isn't bad to me - I can go to church whenever I want and most of my friends are religious and my personal ideas are always respected - so I don't worry if the Judeo-Christian concept is in the Constitution or not, what is important to me is that the Churches in Europe would become more active, like in the United States, and participate more openly in the community work than they are now, that way will Christianity be a strong force in Europe in the future too.
