Re: # 59
URstruly you say:

"Re: # 56

The answer is at least two pre-Islamic festivals are celebrated in Saudi Arabia. Both festivals are also the two major festivals in Muslim world at large.

The first festival is the Eid-al-adha, or festival or sacrifice that goes back to approximately 5000 years before Islam dating back to Ibraham (pbuh) who tried to sacrifice his own son Ishmael (pbuh). The comemoration of that event (with sacrifice) continued among Jews for thousands of years except that the conside Jacob (pbuh) as the son who was to be sacrificed.

The second major festival, eid -al-fitre, or festival of feast has also roots in pre-Islamic tradition. It was originally a sort of festival of harvest.

These two festivals are the major festivals celebrated through the Muslim world now.
"

The first festival is the Eid-al-adha, or festival or sacrifice that goes back to approximately 5000 years before Islam dating back to Ibraham (pbuh) who tried to sacrifice his own son Ishmael (pbuh). But the peadophile murderer said that Abraham was the first muslim so how come this was 5,000 yrs before Islam. Or maybe he was a liar also.

Pls enlighten us.

Regards
Sanatani

laddu, you hindus, in fact, ALL you non-semiticists have an absolutely rotten understanding of pluralism or tolerance or secularism.

Re: # 79

Actually, it is this "good cop- bad cop" routine that has been perfected by these Islamic goons..the 'moderate' goons come and try to produce dis-information regarding their Islamic genocidal intents towards kafirs and mushariqs....... once the guards are lowered by mushriqs ...... the 'extremists' blow the bombs.....

Ref Hamed #80

That dear boy Yasser Latif Hamdani has posted this on Islamic Kindness to Kaffirs:

[A terrible and gruesome fallout of the disastrous Khilafat experiment of Mahatma Gandhi was the Moplah Rebellion in Malabar District in 1921. According to the Report of the ENQUIRY COMMITTEE OF SERVANTS OF INDIA SOCIETY, the number of Hindus murdered by Moplah Muslims was 1500, the number of Hindus forcibly converted 20,000 and the value of property looted about Rs three crore. When the national and local leaders appealed to the virulently anti-Hindu Moplah Muslims in the name of Mahatma Gandhi to follow the ways of peace and non-violence, they replied bluntly with Islamic fervour: ’GANDHI IS A KAFIR, HOW CAN HE BE OUR LEADER?’ Dr Anne Besant declared: ’The Moplah Muslim marauders murdered and plundered abundantly, killed or drove away all Hindus who would not apostatize. Somewhere about 100,000 people were driven from their homes with nothing but the clothes they had on, stripped of everything’. She also accused all the Khilafat religious preachers for all this terrible atrocities. J Campbell, chief of the Intelligence Department, Government of India, held the Khilafat leaders squarely responsible for inciting racial hatred resulting in Moplah carnage.]

When you consider that the population of Malabar region at that time did not exceed 2 million, killing 2,000 Hindus means killing one in 1000.

The World will have to kill 1 million+ Muslims out of 1 billion claimed Followers of the True Faith to equal the Kindness of Muslims.

Narendra Modi of India's Gujarat state would have to kill 50,000 Muslims out of a population of 50 million to show the same level of compassion as Moplah Muslims. He would also have to render homeless 2.5 million Muslims instead of only 150,000 just to break even with Muslims.

Can you do arithmetic?

Re: # 47

trolls like Eklavya would do everything, including picking up an idolator identity, to confuse us regarding the true nature of the "religion of peace"......... we just have to read chapter 8 of Quran and ask what Allah has to do with the war booties???

Oh mahmood mahmood, you needn't be unnecessarily polite :)

It's hard to see instances of Islamic bigotry, definitely not on Chowk, and very definitely not on this board. Do you see any?

I think it is the magic of Nizam ud din Aulia RA working....

Mahmood Mahmood thank you for your kind responses to Hindu bigotry. May we all learn to walk in the footsteps of Nizam ud din Auliya RA, and his humble monotheist disciple the Buddha RO.

Re: # 80 agreed well said. These guys are on Chowk to abuse and show their frustration. But on the footsteps of Nizam ud din Auliya RA if some one places thorns in your path do not do it yourself, because then every where will be thorns! MAy Allah bless us to be patient and help bear difference of opinion and loet the truth prevail!

ANYONE who calls for all of any people to be "wiped out" must be somewhat insane.

I don't have to take the high ground with you or be presumptuous about my level of intelligence vs your's.

Anyone that professes to want millions of people killed is atleast somewhat mentally ill.

Seriously, consider your point of view. How dehumanized you have made this group of so-called savages. I don't know what has happened to you to make you so extreme. Your symptoms are a symptom of the times....life is cheap and people from all sides kill others easily.

Maybe humanity is a little sick these days. Usually, your opinions would be considered fairly out-of-the-ordinary. They are all too familiar.

Ref Hamed #77

[The Christian and Muslim majorities in Indonesia both supported the takeover of East Timor. DOPE! And this was a political and racial genocide that had little to do with religion.]

Just as the bakra is happy to be sacrificed during Eid, the Christians of East Timor voluntarily agreed to be part of Indonesia. That has been the story yopu Muslims have been peddling for centuries to whitewash your crimes.

Tell me, did the Christians of Armenia also voluntarily agree to be killed and deported by Turkey?

[Just like the Americans have committed in Iraq or the Indians committed in Gujarat where in February, 2002, Hindu extreme right-wing religious organizations, under the umbrella of the Sangh Parivar, organized and carried out a genocidal ethnic cleansing of Muslims in the state of Gujarat, in western India]

The Americans are NOT doing enough. If ALL the Muslims in the world are wiped out, then Americans would have done enough.

And in Gujarat, how can you forget that BEFORE any killing of the Muslims began, Hindu pilgrims were burnt to death on a train by rampaging Islamic thugs? You thought there would be no retaliation, didn't you? Well, you thought wrong. And after that, the Mozzies of Gujarat are not willing to say "boo" to a goose.

[Between 2,000 and 5,000 Muslims were slaughtered, and more than 150,000 rendered homeless and destitute.]

Sheesh, man, even the SECULAR Government of India a mximum of 2,000 deaths out of which one-third were Hindus. Somehow, you people seem to be interested in sending more Mozzies to jannat. Are you counting on the fact Allah, may a thousand fleas infect his armpits, is as illiterate as Mohammad the Bedouin, and would be able to produce 72 virgins per martyr on demand? And can you tell me if the gender of the ghilmans is male and if so what is a martyr supposed to do with 24 of them?

[Your information is pitiful and completely indicative of the quality of your thinking.]

I bow before your superior Islamic Intellect. We are not worthy of the attention you are paying us.

FakirIppi:
Somehow I am wrong that Abbasid defeated Ummayad at Baghdad.
Capital of Umayyad was Damascus, and Abbasid Baghdad.
The following is from Wikipedia
{The Battle of the Zab took place on the banks of the Great Zab river in what is now Iraq on January 25, 750. It spelled the end of the Umayyad Caliphate and the rise of the Abbasids}
