How much did the USA contribute to the rise of Islamic fundamentalism?
>>1422125
It is almost entirely responsible, from supporting the Saudis who ideologically spread it, to literally propping up the taliban, to ruining a country held down by a strongman, allowing radicals to fill the vacuum.
Islam is a unique kind of crazy religion. Saudi is a unique kind of crazy country. Match made in heaven, thanks USA.

When they decided to support pro-American Salafist absolute monarchs instead of Arab nationalist/socialists.
Redpill me on this man. Why does everyone consider this man one of the best if not the best president?

Firstly, he did not come up with the concept of an income tax. The British had engaged in the practice long before Lincoln. The United States Congress had also considered the possibility of implementing an income tax during the War of 1812. He hardly came...

>held the country together through a fucking civil war
There's a reason James Buchanan is considered the worst president and his name is scoured from history. He was Lincoln's predecessor and basically the opposite of Lincoln.

>By using a new method that looks at patterns of inheritance of chunks of DNA, Hellenthal found that the early Zagros Mountain farmers have left a genetic legacy in Pakistanis, Afghans, and others, particularly in Zoroastrians in Iran.
>But the ancient Iranian DNA was dramatically different from that of the western Anatolian farmers. The two groups of farmers, who lived about 2000 kilometers and 2000 years apart, must have descended from completely different groups of hunter-gatherers who separated 46,000 to 77,000...

No, it's Mesolithic not neolithic. I'm surprised researchers aren't using new genetic models.

There is only ONE, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
That is the Orthodox Church, founded by Christ, which the gates of hell shall not prevail against.

This is an Orthodox pastebin that addresses the questions of Catholics and atheists and Muslims and Jews and Protestants and liberals, along with a reading list that provides links: http://pastebin.com/bN1ujq2x
Welp, THIS is sure going to be a quality thread.
Is Orthodoxy the most metal version of Christianity?
So how did japan, an extremely militaristic and feudal society become a weeb nation in almost half a century?
I know about the reconstruction but I don't see how that could cause this. As far as I know it was mainly just economic aid.
Abundance of wealth causes degeneracy and feminization.
all of those guys get/got more pussy than you
>>1421853
It's just pop media appealing to the huge market growing up in the 80's and 90's where this style was all the rage, and with Japanese demographics being what it is they'll linger for quite some time.
Think of it like how all female news casters in America seem to have the same hair and makeup as actresses and models from the 60's and 70's when a lot of men today had their first erections. In a few decades Japanese media will again be almost unrecognizable.
Also Japan can't...

Before Constantine, was Christianity to Rome what communism was to America?
It depends on who youd ask. There were widespread persecutions against Christians in the East, but it wasnt so bad in the West.
A better comparison is probably that of Judaism to the world.
>>1422651
What about both the Jews and Christians to the Romans? Monotheists in general were subversive to the Roman system of government.
More like SJW + Islam alliance.
Why do so many people think badly of Stalin while the only reason they exist or are not slaves is because of Stalin defeating Hitler
Stalin did nothing wrong and people are ignorant of one of the most important victories in history
So i guess if a mass murderer inadvertently allowed me to be born i should love him?

Why do people push the "Christianity is responsible for the Dark Ages!" meme
>>1420570
because christianity caused the fall of Rome
>>1420578
How?

When did the Roman Empire -truly- fall? According to google it was 476. What about the Byzantine Empire? Or the Holy Roman Empire? Roman Empire of Nicaea? When did it finally fall?
>>1420467
476
The rest are just romeaboo wannabes
>>1420467
Let me be the first to say...
>Holy
>Roman
>Empire
>The Roman Empire survived and still lives on as the Catholic Church
Where does meme come from and when will it die?
Who were the sorest losers in history?
My vote goes to these faggots right here
Them and Germany.

At least Germany accepted defeat after World War 2. You don't have faggots in modern Germany screaming "Der Reich shall rise again!"

In its first couple of hundred years, yes, absolutely.
Wait, after Napoléon's defeat at Leipzig the coalition offered him an extremely generous peace offer that would create a France in his """natural borders""". And Nappy the retard refused because he thought he could get more?? How can anyone claim that he just wanted to defend France when he didn't take the opportunity of such a favorable peace settlement?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_proposals
>>1414487
>And Nappy the retard refused
Lad, according to your own article
>delayed too long and lost the opportunity
>>1414491
And why did he delay? Because he thought he would win the war and get an even greater France. When the tides turned he wanted to come back at the offer which was obvioiusly refused.
The moment Napoleon agreed he would have sustained a serious blow to his reputation.
So /his/, this book is required reading for my university this summer. I've made it about a third of the way through the book, and I came across this:
>"...Mansa Musa of Mali was black, and Shabaka of Egypt was black, and Yaa Asantewaa of Ashanti was black—"
Are any of these statements true? Or is this just hardcore Wewuzism? I don't know enough about those figures to have any idea, and Google gave me some competing information.
>>1412352
Mansa Musa was definitely black. I've never heard of the other two. Either way
>required summer reading for uni if you're not taking summer classes
What fucking shit show of a uni do you go to?
Whaddya guys think of his The Case For Reparations essay?

>"In the eyes of the Italians we Germans are merely low Teutonic swine. They exploit us like charlatans and suck the country to the marrow. Wake up Germany!"
What did he mean by this? Was Luther actually a nationalist leader rather than a religious one?
>>1421534
He was for "common man". He felt that people should have the right to read the bible and interpret it, rather than have edicts handed down from a corrupt intellectual elite. I "guess" you could call it nationalism, if you "nation" is a mass of plebians and other simple folk under oppression by foreign mandate.
>>1421572
Not quite. He still supported the nobles right to rule the peasantry, hence his support for their brutal beat down of the German peasant rebellion.
I just think he hated italians
Who doesn't though
Not that germans aren't actually low teutonic swines too
I'm the best philosopher on this board.
I will entertain any and all philosophy related questions you have with the correct answers. You'll never need to read another wikipedia article on a philosopher again if you read this thread.
Come one come all, I shall enlighten you.
