Does the timid growth of arab atheists offer any danger to Islam homogeneity in Middle East, or is it just a stupid ilusion?

No, apostates do not threaten the unshakeable resolve of the Ummah.

i find it really strange how the west turns atheist right when i became a christian.
i never thought i would be defending traditional european christianity on 4chan against atheists
i wish i converted when 4chan was majority christian and atheists were told to gtfo back to reddit

I've heard people call Carter underrated, but I just don't see it. Basically their arguments always boil down to "he wanted to be a force of good but somehow fucked it up." That doesn't make you underrated, that just makes you a failure.

Is it true that the Dark Ages left an irrecoverable hole in history? Will we ever manage to make up for all the undone progress and lost knowledge?
no.
"The Dark Ages" are largely a misnomer invented by Renaissance era intellectuals who romanticized the Roman Empire.

Yes, but the church wasn't to blame for much of it.
What happened in Britain after the Romans left? Were the romanised celts conquered by the saxon raiders?
few Britons were ever "romanised", the Roman legacy was played up by British historians because they liked the idea of Britain carrying on the Roman imperial tradition

Who are some Atheistic Saints?

>nietzsche was an atheist
Stop this meme.
I don't understand the question, why would they make em a saint then?
Saint Nietzsche? He wouldn't like that very much although we can say he would deserve it since he knew how a great intellectual attack can prolong the downfall of the target and even cause it's revival in favour.
Beyond the remove kebab memes, why did the breakup of Yugoslavia trigger so much civil disorder and genocide?

Where does the remove kebab meme come from? I've seen the Serbia Strong video but he didn't say that in it did he?

It literally comes from 4chan. It all comes from 4chan.

How can we know that trees don't feel any pain when we cut off their branches?
>>562321
Stemfag answer is that they have no central nervous system to translate the stimuli into pain.

They have no centralized nervous system that collects that sensory information
Define pain

What is the difference between a patriot and a nationalist?
the difference is that you dont send a CV ship capture a command zone without being properly escorted by aa corvettes and a LCU
>>562201
George Orwell.
> By ‘patriotism’ I mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force on other people. Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for power. The abiding purpose of every nationalist is to secure more power and more prestige, not for himself but for the nation or other unit in which he has chosen...

Sort of pulling it out of my ass, but patriot is proud of/likes their own country, while nationalist is more, pic related.
Why did Mosley fail to gain power in Britain? If the leftist backlash at the Battle of Cable Street never happened or went differently, could he have been more powerful?
>>562125
>Why did Mosley fail to gain power in Britain?
You're acting as if you necessarily should have gained power.
>>562125
>Why did Mosley fail to gain power in Britain?
because brits aren't passive, subservient cucks like the Germans or the Italians or the Russians
The battle of cable street wasn't a coup attempt, it was a protest march being BTFO.
Fascism never had much appeal in Britain - it's hard to talk about the need to reverse national humiliation with a strong leader when you already rule half the fucking world. A few butthurt aristocrats and contrarian intellectuals, but never anything near an electoral majority.
it has been 25 years since the end of the gulf war and now that the dust has settled i think its time to discuss whether bush's invasion was justified.
>>561928
>illegally occupying another country
How wasn't it justified?
>Iraq annexes Kuwait
>Kuwait doesn't want to be Iraqi
That's the legal and moral side done. The practical side went like this.
>Iraq has a large proportion of the world's proven oil reserves
>so does Kuwait
>Saudi Arabia has even more oil
>if we don't do something about this, a single man will control 50% of the world's oil supply

That's a hard question but... I'll have to go with John Neumeier's The Little Mermaid, San Francisco version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k27lDDj07Z4
I saw it live, not expecting much, but it was a really surprising experience. There's a scene where the Mermaid, now turned human and on the Prince's wedding cruise, feels herself trapped in her room and she begins to beat the walls confining her in her little human room in despair. On the night I saw it, she was so intense during this...

I was a male ballet dancer. Originally wanted to go professional. Trained at School of American Ballet, American Ballet Theater's JKO academy, the Rock School for Dance Education, the Bolshoi Summer Intensive, and Edward Ellison's Academy in New York. I also competed in the Youth America Grand Prix in the solo and Pas De deux categories. Danced most male leads and variations throughout the years until I decided I wanted to go to college and have a normal life. Favorite roles to dance are Solor from La Bayadere,...

Why is philosophy relevant in an academic sense? In terms of relevant information gained, isn't philosophy a negative-sum endeavor? I mean we all have thinking minds, question our place in the world, but to study the opinions of others? This attitude of cohesive idealism reminds me too much of religion.
>>561911
Well pic related is part of philosophy.
This is why Theravada monks have a bit of disdain for western philosophy: in the end it's just a puff of smoke that doesn't lead to anything meaningful
Because theories aren't developed by one person thinking in the shower for 5 minutes. They are developed for years by countless individuals. For this to occur the development must occur within philosophical structures.
e.g John Locke builds the foundations of Liberalism as an moral and political, the continentals continue to build on Liberalism applying it to history and economics, modern liberalism is not applied to ethics, political philosophy, international relations, economics and so on.
