Let's discuss Islam
>>280395
it's a religion. it exists

Literally reddit
>>280382
I've heard, but never with like an actual citation behind it, that one of the "mainstream" Islamic beliefs is that the Tanach and the Gospels and whatnot aren't accurate recordings of the teachings of Moses and Jesus (among others), and that such religious leaders "really" preached Islam.
Is this an actual Islamic belief? If so, what basis does it have?
>The EMPEROR is crowned by his HOLINESS, the pope of ROME
the holy roman empire is roman holy and imperial and there is nothing you haters can do about it
Cuius regio, eius religio
There was already a sitting emperor in the actual real Roman Empire at that time, so the HRE is an impostor state crowned by a heretical church.

>At around 6 am on August 2, Leutnant Albert Mayer and his small cavalry patrol illegally crossed the French border. They did not meet resistance, as the French had moved their troops back 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from the border, to avoid provoking the Germans and to show good faith in their attempts to avoid war.

It just amazes me how people did things at such a younger age back such as jobs or parenting. Jules Andre Peugeot, the first French soldier to die in WW1 was 21 years old. He was a teacher. Crazy that he gets shot in the shoulder with a pistol and dies from that.

>crossing the border
What were they planning? The full mobiization of Germany hadn't even started yet.
Albert Mayer got his shit pushed in. Shot in the stomach, then the head.
Can someone enlighten me on ancient gay history? Were men doing sexual things with each other since the beginning of time or is it all a gay agenda conspiracy?
"V R A QVEER LOL" - Brvtvs
Pretty sure guys have been fucking for all of history.
How widely accepted that was, however, varied wildly.
Most common and simple answer I can give you is that Christianitys and Islams spreading made it immoral as time went on.

Where was a time when we defeated the Muslims

Reconquista.
/his/ what is the world's oldest state still up?
I think the vatican, but I'm probably wrong
Ignorance.
>>280038
I'm pretty sure it's San Marino
The Vatican's less than a hundred years old m8.
I think San Marino and Japan are the best answers. Japan was conquered and occupied for a few years, but it was still ruled by the same Emperor that whole time.
It's time for alt /his/story earth. Claim parts of the map and colour them in, naming areas as you like. Give interesting and even vaguely possible backstory to how your land came to be owned by whoever owns it.
Try limit yourself in how much you claim to make it interesting for everyone.

The Grand Piedmont Empire- They originally tried to unify Italy but the temptations of imperial expansion overtook their foreign policy, thus causing them to be a formidable power in the Mediterranean.
Fúsāng Guó
Millennia of Chinese and Japanese shipwrecks, carried drastically off-course by the storms of the North Pacific Current, established a series of ad hoc colonies along the Pacific coast of North America. Cut-off from their motherland, most of the settlements quickly assimilated with the native peoples or died off – only in the deltas of Suisun Bay, where cultivation of salvaged rice took hold, did a lasting civilization emerge. Merging with native tribes, the Chinese settlement of Fusang became the foundation for a number of city-states, petty kingdoms...

Pornography possession of any type is allowed.
Transexuality is not recognized as a gender.
Abortion is legal.
>Society:
Adulthood is granted by passing a multi-disciplinary test, not by arbitrary age. This gives social rights, like the capability of getting a driving license.
Guns are legal, and people can buy it passing a competency test every 5 years.
Non-lethal drugs are allowed under some safety circumstances, and not in public.
Educational system based on encouraging continued self-education using evidence based sources.
Religion will be banned or discouraged (due to its promotion of ignorant behaviour).
People who have severely debilitating inheritable diseases will be discouraged of having descendants.

>Government:
Strong defensive military. No indoctrination, but there might be some kind of military learning for the self-defense of the country, and self-survival, not for any nationalist desire of expansion.
Leaders are chosen by a raffle, between citizens that meet certain requirements. Economically retributed only during its mandate.
Expropriation by the state is limited, requires compensation and agreement of the majority of the local population.

Fuck exile. Send them to gulag.

Plev detected.
We need to know our economic potential, our geography and our enemies before we can determine anything meaningful
Title says all. Assuming he were to have lived through the breakup of the USSR/Warsaw Pact (and somehow not been too senile to rule, since he would've been nearing 100), do you think that Yugoslavia might've lasted a bit longer?
Serb here. I'm afraid not. He really was the only thing keeping shit together. The nation was destined to fall apart due to ethnic strife the moment he got out of the picture - and he knew this. The resulting chaos was really just inevitable.
We all miss you Josip. ;_;

Damn. Well that's kind of a shame to hear. Though I've been curious for a while about as to why the ethnic tensions are as high as they are in the Balkans; I know religion played a big part, but not sure what else lead to it. If you don't mind, can you help explain it to me?
>>279747
The Balkans has always been a powder-keg ready to explode on a moments notice, and its been that way for as long as anyone can remember. The ultra-nationalism of the Balkans has almost entirely to do with the fact that it was conquered and occupied by the Ottomans for many centuries (this combined with the mountainous terrain not only isolates cultures from each other but makes partisan-warfare very viable)
Religion of course had a major part of it - but there was also the leftovers of World War 2. Croats...

what the hell was even in the slightest way interesting in Arabia at that time? I think it would have been a retarded move, he should have invaded Italy

Arabia was rich as fuck, a land of spice trade and caravans.

Sabaeans. There's a civilization there you know. And the Ayyrab raiders were messing his routes.
Let's have a WWI thread. This thread is for discussion, debates, alternate history, dank memes, and anything you could conceive based on World War One.
I have one. Did you know that WWI was called The Great War before WWII happened?

Anyone ever read Lisle Rose's book Power at sea? Any thoughts as to his "suicide cruise" plan, assuming Wilhelm could have actually attempted it?

It was also "The War to End all Wars" before the next war happened.
Eh, I want to let /pol/ be /pol/ but this is fine for /his/.
I want to know everyone's opinions on the late 20th century American White and Black nationalist movements and why they gained many followers and then died out so quickly.
Specifically:
>Nation of Islam
>5% nation
>Creativity Movement
>National Alliance
The black revolutionaries turned into criminal street gangs and led to blacks killing each other. Probably because of COINTELPRO
Soviet Union collapsed.
Today we see a strong Russia and suddenly they are back. Russia is now continuing what the KGB did.

Is there any proof Russia has anything to do with any of those movements?

What are freemasons and why are they so disliked?
Can anyone become a freemason?

Deists who generally focus on creating societal structures and devoting themselves to the causes of liberty. They have generally existed a little bit more than the united states of America, and were noticeably influential in designing the early American government.
They are generally considered an elite group. membership is by invitation only, and the rituals they partake in are kept secret.
general rumor mill has them controlling as much behind the scenes as the jews and the illuminati. This is normally...

Due to their association with politics and positions of power some of their members sometimes occupy.

Yes.
