His, what versus or interpretations of versus in the Quran or Hadiths were used to support the conquest of foreign land at the beginning of arab conquests?
>>1242923
And can and are the same arguments used as reasons for conquering modern day Israel?
>>1242923
sura 9: at tawba
the entire sura is about waging war on all nations that are not under muslim rule. 9:5 is the famous sword verse that abrogates all peaceful verses that came before, and gives infidels two choices: convert or die. 9:29 allows jews and christians to practice their faith but under subjugation to the sharia as dhimmis.
>>1242976
no. modern day israel is under another principle: once a muslim land, always a muslim land. the territory israel is on used to be muslim land, so it is not for conquest, but for "reconquest".

Didn't even take you two sentences to contradict yourself, lmao. But seriously you have no idea what you're talking about, stop reading answeringislam.com tier shit.
9:4 - Excepted are those with whom you made a treaty among the polytheists and then they have not been deficient toward you in anything or supported anyone against you; so complete for them their treaty until their term [has ended]. Indeed, Allah loves the righteous [who fear Him].
9:5 - And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
9:6 - And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah . Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are a people who do not know.
9:7 - How can there be for the polytheists a treaty in the sight of Allah and with His Messenger, except for those with whom you made a treaty at al-Masjid al-Haram? So as long as they are upright toward you, be upright toward them. Indeed, Allah loves the righteous [who fear Him].
There is no Qur'anic justification for the expansion under the Rashidun caliphates as such. The first post-Muhammad military activity of the Rashidun was in subjugating rebels among the Arabs, like Aswad Ansi who say Muhammad's death as an opportunity to call himself a prophet succeeding Muhammad and seize control of the umma for himself. Abu Bakr probably intended the conquests outside of Arabia as security measure after the Ridda wars.
Who was the most absolute madman in history?
>pirates hold him ransom
>he demands they ask a higher ransom
>>1242888
>befriends the pirates
>after being freed goes out and raises a fleet
>captures the pirates
>crucifies them
>>1242888
Okay so just because he knew his worth he's a mad man?
What a fucking insult they tried to put that bitch ass ransom on him in the first place.
>He held them in such disdain that whenever he lay down to sleep he would send and order them to stop talking.
>For thirty-eight days, as if the men were not his watchers, but his royal bodyguard, he shared in their sports and exercises with great unconcern.
>He also wrote poems and sundry speeches which he read aloud to them, and those who did not admire these he would call to their faces illiterate Barbarians, and often laughingly threatened to crucify them all. The pirates were delighted at this, and attributed this boldness of speech to a certain simplicity and boyish mirth.

What the fuck was his problem?
>>1242709
Who the fuck is he?
Facial recognition is his first problem.
Why the fuck should we care if you can't even take the time to comment about this guy?
Shitposter
>>1243039
> doesn't immediately recognize the face of the man who shot Martin Luther King, Jr
>>1243577
Why should anybody recognize this scum based solely on his picture? It says a lot that no one had commented except you. Most of the planet wouldn't have a clue. These threads (which happen all the time) and mindless. They require no thought by the poster and often don't even give the name of the person in question.
Tell me about Belisarius, /his/. Could he ever have become the emperor of Byzantine?
What would have happened differently if he did become the emperor?
the goths offered him to become their king
but he stayed loyle to his capo
>the emperor of Byzantine
Sorry, you seem to be confused, but the helpful users of 4chan's History and Humanities board are here to gladly help clear this up.
What is often thought of as "Byzantium", "the Byzantines", or "the Byzantine Empire", is actually in fact "the Roman Empire". This is due to the Roman Empire in Constantinople's former status as the Eastern Roman Empire. When the Western Roman Empire was gone, the Eastern Roman Empire became the one and true Roman Empire, and as it was ruled by the Emperor of Rome. Any usage of any form of "Byzantium" is reductive to the dignity of the Roman Empire at this time, and lends credence to the belief that the Western Roman Empire continued in the form of the Holy Roman Empire, which was in fact not holy, not Roman by any reasonable stretch, and not actually an Empire in anything but name. There was also no such office or title as "Emperor of Byzantium" or "Emperor of the Byzantines" at any point in history.
I'm glad to have been helpful in addressing this small matter and I hope you have a good day :)
>>1242787
You're right, I meant the Eastern Roman Empire, which was at that time under Justinian.
Latest out of the "history" side of tumblr is that muslin and african vikings were totally a thing!

North Africa is within the realm of possibility, didn't one Danish viking guy marry some sort of Moorish princess?
There was a viking named, literally, "the black viking". But he was the son of a norwegian jarl and a princess from Bjarmeland, making him half-asian.
>I know a fantasy book that actually has a diverse Viking crew sailing to Africa.
and i know a fantasy book that actually has teenagers breaking into a magical bank of fucking jew goblins and fucking their shit up with a raging dragon the jew goblins used to have there as a guard dog
This board is now officially only for history, philosophy and other 'empirical humanities'.
Take your theology to /x/.
This board is now only for ancient languages.

"Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. One man thinks himself the master of others, but remains more of a slave than they are. How did this change happen? I cannot answer"
Why exactly couldn't he answer it? He's a god damn philosopher, it's his job to do it
>>1242486
I prefer Voltaire over Rousseau desu famme
>philosophers
>answering questions rather than piling up more questions
Also:
>Rousseau
>>1242486
No, that would be the job of a historian or anthropologist.
>Christianity
>having any significant role in philosophy
Why do Christians act like they matter so much to intellectual culture? It's largely irrelevant.

How the fuck are you supposed to even read that graph?
>>1242488
Bigger = more important, in simple terms.
>>1242490
Yeah but what's with the placing?
It doesn't seem to be graphing history at all but rather influences. Like you can find philosophers who came after Plato but influenced by him around all sides.
I'm also not sure what the colours are all about.
If God created you, and God exists in your mind. You both created each other or you are God?
>>1241707
God doesn't exist you fag. Neither does your "mind."
>>1241710
So how do I think?
Or am just a robot that has been programmed since the beginning to always carry out these actions?
How do I know that free will is not an illusion?
Such as if God has a plan for me, but if I have free will then how could I make a decision??\
>>1241721
Free will is an unfalsifiable concept in the exact same way god is. I does not exist either.
how does /his/ feel about Hamilton

Literally 10/10. Plus the non-white cast triggers /pol/fags, which is always a bonus.
Are there seriously people on this board who don't realize Trotsky's international revolution was just an excuse for his imminent bonapartism?
Just when I learn about bonapartism, some guy on /his/ starts repeatedly using the term
I like to think of us all as Bonapartists
Who doesn't want to be that man of glory? Lenin did it. Stalin did it. Mao did it.
Selfless communists are a minority, and if not, clearly are incapable of leadership
>create communist country
>not enough resources

literally communism needs to be wordwide for it to even work in theory
is it fair to say that the growth of human civilization was stunted by the steppe peoples?
and that one of the primary reasons that European domination (in various forms) exists is due to the fact that the expansion of the Mongols ceased due to a Khan's death?
Mongols did nothing wrong
>>1241593
>due to the fact that the expansion of the Mongols ceased due to a Khan's death?
I don't think Mongols would fare well in Europe, compared to ME. Europe was full of castles that bogs you down, they'd have to waste too much time with sieges.

What religions are /his/ approved? The bickertonites seem pretty neat.

Zoroastrianism.
Baha'i even though its basically pseudo buddhism
Kemeticism
What went wrong /his/?
>Growing Mexican Economy
>Order and Progress
>Massive foreign investment
>An actual middle class
>1 Peso per 4 dollars
I don't get it.

Other elites in Mexico wanted the throne and exploited peasantry grievances against Diaz's anti labor union measures.
The Anglos were supporting Diaz and the German Empire supported the rebels.
>>1240926
What was the German interest in the conflict?
>>1240935
because it happened to occur around ww1.
