No.

I treat it the same way I treat you: mostly ignore it and shake my head at its stupidity.

Much the way this forum treats your posts. Wink

Entertainment value though, I will admit. A beta male completly out of his depth. Why dont you post a few more pictures, that always makes up for a good argument. Roll Eyes

Why ignore it? You never ignore me and I am a much smaller target than Islam.

Gandalf had to look pretty hard for a positive spin on this one. Hint: while most Arab countries had to run their Jews out, Afghanistan did it just be being a craphole.

Do you enjoy digging a deeper hole for yourself? You completely made up the claim that Afghanis expelled the jews - you'd be best served not saying any more about it - you just make yourself look even sillier.

Machete wielding man in predominantly Muslim (80% plus) part of a European city is shot by police and then residents burn cars for 4 days. After the regular French car-be-ques over recent years by ... er.... predominantly North African and Middle Eastern yoofs (you know what that's code for) nobody was expecting the Spanish Inquisition, sorry, a Portugese immigrant. Were you?

Thats supposed to make your fairy tales ok is it? But what I particularly loved about it was you didn't just assume he was muslim, you actually invented a complete scenario about him threatening his family in the kitchen because he was a would-be honour killer. Like I said to FD recently, if you're gonna lie, lie big.

Quite the contrary S - you're providing great entertainment, and I'm taking a front row seat.

The Arab rulers harnessed the learning of the conquered Romans, Christians and Jews, very selectively.

There was no translation into Arabic of anything that may have conflicted with Islam - which left out all of ancient literature and philosophy. And the translators were the conquered Christians and Jews, not the invading Arabs.

- The arabs translated a HUGE amount of ancient literature and philosophy. Also, the "invading Arabs" absolutely did much of the translating themselves.

The Arabs were the master race, the conquerors. They didn't learn Greek or Latin or Hebrew or Syriac or Persian or Hindi, the languages of the dhimmis. No. The dhimmis learned Arabic and did the translations. Some converted, many didn't.

Hunayn ibn Ishaq - Christian
Yuhanna ibn Masawaih - native Syriac speaker (ie not Arab)
Sa'id al-Fayyumi - Jew
Thābit ibn Qurrah - native Syriac speaking Assyrian
Abu Bishr Matta ibn Yunus - Nestorian Christian (translator of Aristotle's works into Arabic)
Yuhanna Ibn Batriq, Abd al-Masih Ibn 'Aballah Wa'ima al-Himse - Assyrian Christians
Abu Mahammad Ibn al-Muqaff - Persian convert to Islam.

You are being fooled by the Arabised names- Abu Al-Gandalf.

Stock-standard old boy schtick. It’s the old boy’s stock in trade. Point it out and he moves onto the next one, and the next. He thinks no one notices.

The important thing is that the old boy believes it, that’s the main thing.

Keep it up, old chap. You gotta have a dream...
