I mostly get my news from the net. From what I can gather Syria has descended into fullblown sectarian warfare now. The biggest divide being between alawites (and christians) on the coast vs various sunni groups of the interior, from moderates to salafist nutbags. The kurds are doing pretty much what they did in Iraq, just hanging back and defending their neighborhoods, trying to become as autonomous as possible but simultaneously receiving aid from the PKK and possibly even iraqi kurds. Turkey probably doesn't look favorably upon that, but there's other reasons for Turkey to get involved beyond just the kurds. If I'm not wrong doesn't Turkey still see certain areas of Syria with irredentism, in the northwest? I might be wrong.

edit: I just saw the video. You both are retarded. Alex Jones for one, and a conspiracy by the US and Israel to manipulate a turk president into not attacking for the other? NATO has no interest in intervening in Syria. If they wanted to intervene, they couldve done it ages ago. They don't need the consent and excuse of "Oh noes, turks are being killed on the border! Now we really have an opportunity!".

Okay Abay, what is your perspective? Your video is kind of all over the place. Apparently US+Israel are totally for wahhabist and salafist terrorist lunatics, and their only interest is in destabilizing Syria. The video seems to be very pro-establishment. I suggest that the reason NATO (including Turkey) haven't intervened in Syria is because they actually are pro-establishment and anti "rebels". Can you imagine what would happen if Assad got open support from the west? That would just galvanize the fanatics. And it would highlight the hypocrisy of the support for the so-called "arab spring".
I actually agree that the attack against turks on the border was most likely an attempt by a group of rebels (what faction out of the hundreds present in Syria, who knows. Maybe even PKK) to provoke Turkey into a war with Assad's regime. So basically Turkey saw through the false flag attack and refused to get involved...and somehow that is bad?
As brutal a dictator as Assad is, I still see him as better for Syria than whatever would emerge from the "coalition" of rebels fighting against him. The most likely outcome would be total fragmentation of Syria along ethnic lines.

A bunch of crazies in power are fighting a bunch of crazies not in power. There may be some non-crazies in the middle, but the likelihood of anyone not crazy being in power after it all settles regardless of what the West does is practically zero.

Well, the issue is about big middle east project. With this project, USA wants to build a kurdish country south of Turkey, north of Iraq/Syria and west of Iran. The main reason is managing petrol market in the north of Iraq freely, controlling Iran and guaranteeing safety of Israel. And after we search some informations about how they did this before for Serbia and Bosnia, we see similar ways are happening in the area.

You know, western people mainly see middle easterns like terrorists and their media show some terrorist actions to them and make people fear. But do they know big western countries create them for their own interests?

There was peace in Syria before. There were muslims from many kind of sects, christians and muslims. But now, Sunni(a ridicilous islamic sect) people try to kill another sects in islam and other religions and they call themselves ''free syrian army''. The year is 2013 and one sunni guy kill a man from another sect of islam, cut his stomach and eat his liver. I have watched it on a video and shocked. They bomb muslim countries with saying ''Allahuekber'' and they say ''we are fighting for peace'' or ''we are fighting for islam'' on their videos. How ridicilous men they are!

Turkish government is the real problem here with Qatar. How they can dare to be included to change a regime in another country? If Syria must change its regime, Syrian people only can decide this! After Turkish war of independence, middle east was going to be better places to live. They decided to delete: ''Religion of x country is X'' in their constitutions. So they can improve their living levels, productions, technologies and independences, plus they were educating their people better without religion in official parts of countries. After a moment, one by one started to change their regimes. With one power from outside of a country, one power with using their spies in another country. People started to be more ignorant and wanted religions in their laws. Now, Turkey is trying to stand against it. But we see our people is also ignorant. The government fucks them and those people still keep voting the government. We see that is a long term project with started on our education system in 1940's with NATO.

And what I am angry with is their usage of Islam. They say they are muslim and kill a man with no judgement. Even some people think Turkey is an atheist country(cos it has no religion in its laws) so stealing from the country is not sinfull. Can you believe it? Can you imagine how they make comments?

Only reason why middle-east has always war is having many crayz and ignorant people who thinks they are very religious in their population and western imperial countries see those population as a big market.

My personal hope is Turkish Youth Union for protecting Atatürk's logic and rising middle-east against impreialist countries.

I have many thoughts(bad an good) in my mind and I am very angry when I think them. Maybe I wrote things complicated or missed something here but tried to tell general situation.

Note: When I call ''imperial countries'', I dont mean people who lives in there. What I mean is governments.

OBERYN check Alex Jones and what he do before u use the deadly word "Conspiracy" and callin me/us Fools.

Obvisously Western Goverments akay UNO akay USA akay BANKSrupt the WORLD playin their Game with what they got.The arabic world got deep cultural Problems no doubt.

BUT:
In german Interwebz it is stated that Israel dropped a Uran Bomb or Nuclear Bomb in Damaskus at Civil Exploratory.I got no Problems with Jews but Zionists!!!

Recently i saw a Interview of an Ex ALJAZEERA Journalist of a well respected Magazin in Germany.He stated that AL Jazeera was introduced by BBC and how it turned too a PROPAGANDA MACHINE like WESTERN MEDIA.Hes a Syrian living in Germany for 23 Years now btw.
Terrorist is as dumb of a Discripton just like ConspiracyTheorie too kill any Context one could give who owns a critical Position too the common Opinion of the Mass.

As I LIVE IN GERMANY and know very well that my "Country" is the 2nd biggest Weapon Producer and Supplier in the HOLE WORLD ,i know that most so called Terrorists are supplyd by my "Goverment" which is in Fact still in WorldWarII and actually goverend by the National Socialists ,which also infiltrated various other Nations like USA and The Establishment(UK)
This National Socialists werent and isnt wanted by the Germans but by the Industrial Billionairs of Germany,EU,UK or USA.This Industrys are controlled by the Banks because in Fact all of The Major Industries owned by them(I forget the number but i believe it was ca.5000)and they are theirself owned by a very small Group of Humans.(In Fact 13 Family Trees I believe)
I guess u know exactly in which way our Moneysystem works.Its all about Debts.U just can make a Profit if someone else have a Debt in return.If u not understand this Sentence I highly suggest too educate urself about how exactly our Banksystem works!!!!.
Since the Western Banksystem is actually bankrupt since no phisycall Worth covers the Paper(Digital)money the Banks aint bet at Science,Economiclly Improvment or Food but in War! too cover their Banknotes.They do this for atleast 200 Years now and so they are the actual Source of the majority of Big Wars at our Planet because they are the Ones that profit of it.
Again check ur Facts!!!!
As i stated Germany is 2nd biggest Producer and Supplyer of Weapons in the HOLE WORLD.For exampel Germany GmBH(Company) just delivered 5 Submarine Boats ,which are capabel too launch Nuclear Rockets ,too Isreal.
1st Weapon Producer and Supplyer of Weapons in the HOLE WORLD are the USA which actually deliver and plan too deliver Weapons too Syria "Opportunitists".
By the Way check Goldman Sachs which literally owns most of HumanASSES at the Paper.If u did that u can come back and tell me once again that Alex Jones, HURRICANE and me are Fools.
As u said u got ur Informations of the Internet i assume u very well educated about Mass Medias ,one Part of the Western WARMACHINE.

One deluded retard with no experience of the world beyond conspiracy theories on the internet and one deluded fascist-nationalist retard, ok my first impression was correct. Basically the entire world is trying to do bad things to Turkey (of course have to throw kurds in there, the current boogyman), the poor martyr country. And decolonisation, pan-arabism and the resurgence of islam as a political entity was orchestrated specifically by the "west" to destabilize the middle east, of course. None of the political/ethnic groups that emerged there since the end of WW2 have any sort of agency, they all only exist and thrive under the secret support of the evil imperialists that have complete global control. You stupid fucks really have no idea how chaotic the real world is. If only it was as simple as a small group of ultrapowerful evil westerners controlling the world like some sort of modern greek gods for their amusement. It certainly cuts down on having to actually explain reality, maybe that's the only way idiots can contemplate it without being overwhelmed by complexity.

Q: What does your media tell you?

A:  I mostly get my world news from the New York Times and the Guardian in the morning then spend the rest of the day reading entertainment news sites like deadline.com and gawker.com.  Here's a link to the nytimes front page story on Syria today, check it out and decide for yourself if it's biased in any way:

Q: What do western people think about Syria?

A: I think the refugee situation is pretty sad and it seems like a conflict that's not going to end anytime soon.  Other than that, just being honest here, it's not something I think about very often since I'm mostly focused on things going on in my own life.  Hotheads always start these conflicts but ultimately it's the children and innocent people who suffer when problems can't be resolved peacefully through dialogue.  I'm just happy that I live in a place in the world where people don't take religion very seriously, women wear short shorts year round and gay men can be themselves.

Also, I watched about a minute of the propaganda video in the OP but had it turn it off because I don't want to get hassled by security next time I'm at the airport plus it's hard to take anything seriously when it has the music from Batman playing in the background.  :)

Doubt you can call 90% of a religion for sectarians lol.

I haven't been following Syria closely, but it started with people protesting which ended with them being brutally repressed for doing so. And religious clashes tend to happen in the Middle East. Especially when the government consists of a small bunch belonging to one religion and the people belonging to other religions. Just like it happened in Qatar and Iraq

While most conspiracy theories are too fleshed out to make sense (they often contain contradictions), it should be clear that western nations profit from regular wars in the middle east. Not only is it good for selling weapons, but it also hinders the general development of these countries, which means they consume less of their natural resources and have more ready for export. And yes, I know that Syria isn't particularly resource-rich.

Also, truth is that nasrtv seems about as trustworthy as Fox News, and less subtle about their bullshit if that is at all possible. Also Syria is a bloody mess. Both the government and some rebel factions have good reasons to open a conflict with foreign powers (not always the same though).

A: I think the refugee situation is pretty sad

The refugee part is the main bit I've been keeping up with. The numbers are simply appalling and they are only increasing every day.

Other than that for me it just seems to be a war a bunch of different groups who are all as bad as each other. As far as I'm concerned, whoever eventually wins it will be no better than what it started with.

wait what

Yup the vast majority of Muslims are Sunni

Sunni is in short for ahl as-sunnah wa l-jamāʻah. Basically a sunni is someone who follows the path or the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh. And you are right most of the muslims are on this and shia is one of the sects who are not of the sunnah, the problems are in the fundaments of the faith and the division was mainly political, ie people who were after power. After the shia there are plenty more sects in islam, as the prophet himself said "Islam will divide into 73 sects" (part of his quote, aka hadith). The Alawites that are in Syria and also in Turkey are considered to be a sect by this ahl as-sunnah wa l-jamāʻah (jama'ah is something like majority) and they, the alawites, are offspring of the Shia.

Please don't ever quote the Hadith. They are an even bigger load of crap than the New Testament. I don't care what reasoning it's for it's not in the least applicable.

But you're right in saying the divisions were political. Only made worse by vastly differing version of the Hadith between the different sects. It's to the point now where despite the Quran saying only follow the Quran, huge swathes of Muslim's follow the Hadith more.

That is not true. You cant simply follow the Qur'an and disregard hadith.

And i will tell you why.

For example, both the Shia and the Sunni have the Qur'an yet they are fundamentally different. The Shia consider some of the Companions to be apostates or kafirs and by that they can disregard maybe 10.000 of ahadeeth. And we both agreed before that the split was political.

But what do we see today? The Shia have legalized prostitution (So called nikah mut'ah) and some of them even consider the Qur'an is corrupt, all because they discarded loads of hadith because they are of the source of people who they claim to be apostates.

My parents for example in communist yugoslavia, islam was really restricted by the communist and while before the ww2, burka and fully veiled women were really common in the streets of bosnia, after ww2 it was all gone. What one Imam (spiritual leader) told me recently that he sees more and more youth in bosnia waking up 4:00 am to go to the local mosque and offer their morning prayers there and that is a very healthy sign. So the youth have more acces to the proper islamic education while their parents didnt.

That's because communism is against religion, any religion (we can argue that communism is another form of religion). Communists are mostly atheists. And what Imam said is true. Last time I've been to my birthplace I've seen that with my eyes. That small town was multinational, now it's mainly muslim and it shows. I bet you can't find a place in Istanbul like that. Maybe in Teheran...

Also I think that education is a universal thing, it doesn't belong to muslims, catholics, communists etc. I think the correct term you were looking for is indoctrination.

Post by: Overdriven on May 20, 2013, 03:50:33 pm
That is not true. You cant simply follow the Qur'an and disregard hadith.

The first Hadith were written over 100 years after Mohammed's time. They are a collection of 'stories' written from word of mouth that past down through generations and some idiot Caliph decided to write down. They are continually edited over time by Islamic 'scholars' and despite several Hadith saying first hand that nothing should be followed post Quran, they still are (contradiction much). I converted to Islam and my fiancée is Muslim. One of the fundamental things I decided after a lot of extensive research and talking to many other Muslims was that following anything other than the Quran goes against the very basics of Islam.

The problem is they were only ever meant to be a record of Mohammed's life to supplement the teaching in the Quran to give you a broader understanding. But now in many societies they are considered law and usually turned to before the Quran. Which is wrong on every level and also one of the reasons for such massive divisions between different sections of Islam.

For example, both the Shia and the Sunni have the Qur'an yet they are fundamentally different. The Shia consider some of the Companions to be apostates or kafirs and by that they can disregard maybe 10.000 of ahadeeth. And we both agreed before that the split was political.

But what do we see today? The Shia have legalized prostitution (So called nikah mut'ah) and some of them even consider the Qur'an is corrupt, all because they discarded loads of hadith because they are of the source of people who they claim to be apostates.

Well that's precisely like the sect of Islam I'm reading about now that was well established in the ruling classes of the Moghul's of India. They believed themselves to be direct descendants of Mohammed and even went so far as to ban any marriage out side of their community. But such thinking is also flawed.

In my opinion though I'd much rather rely on the Quran which has under gone minimal changes, certainly in the modern era. The Hadith however are continuously edited which automatically draws a line under them as being largely fabricated.

Here we go...a nice quick thing about it for others:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/subdivisions/sunnishia_1.shtml

Now I personally believe much of that to be very loose history. Mohammed's life story is continuously debated and so is his legacy. Which is why I'd much rather rely on something supposed to be more solid, than something constantly changing. At least in terms of the fundamentals. Regardless of that though my faith is my own and I certainly fall into a little bit of a hole when it comes to being put into groups with other Muslims.

That's precisely why I'm still a little wary of how to pray and that very structured way of doing it and that's one of the things that differs slightly between different communities depending which hadith they follow. I reject all hadith. I don't accept any of it. I take what I get from the Quran as well as talking to other Muslim's about how they feel they best interact with God. Because ultimately that is what is important.

I think a lot of Muslim's I've met worry far to much about following something set in stone and forget ultimately what religion is about and the faith they are meant to have. For example there are Muslim's that pray 5 times a day in that set way and follow much of the Hadiths, yet they judge people, gossip, sometimes activley go out of their way to make others miserable and things like that. And that goes against much of what Islam teaches.

Anyone's faith in God is between them and God. No one else. And I think that's reflected in prayer. In my eyes you can pray how you want to.

then i believe u need to study the religeon more if that is what you believe, someone who rejects hadith totally is unjustified and clearly shows they have alot more to learn for example we have Hadith Muttawatir please research. you need to stop seeing islam as a religeon as such, islam meaning peace through submition to the one who created you. so everything from the sun, stars, moon, even oxygon, atoms basically every natural being on earth is classed as a muslim, because they follow there natural way, humans on other hand choose wether to follow there natural way ie being muslim(the one who has submitted), my advice to you would be research properly what hadith really means. without hadith yes you will be under islam but wont know how to be muslim.

Studying it is the reason I came to this conclusion. But much of the current Islamic faith system is about obeying the words of high 'scholars' through history who are supposedly more educated on such matters. And that gives them a level of power they were never meant to attain. Again I disagree, the fundamental laws come from the Quran. The Hadith are largely influenced by culture. Culture of the area at the time, the culture of various Islamic Empires and the culture of differing sects of Muslim's. But culture should have no part in faith. By following the fundamental teachings of the Islamic faith you are Muslim. The Hadith simply make you follow teaching's of different sections of communities.

Afaik, the Quran is an even bigger mess than both the new and old testaments. It was edited countless times, removing and adding so many contradictory parts that in the end you can interpret it as a humanist treaty, as a pamphlet for violent religious conversion and expansion or anything in between depending on what you keep. Goes to show how much holy books are the least god-given thing ever.

When you look at salafis and wahhabists and deobandis they spend the vast majority of their time accusing other muslims as apostates or kaffirs or that the things they do are haram or shirk or bid'ah. i.e not "true" muslims. Which is...what always happens with religions? (sorry for all the edits, there's just so many words to describe something as "anti-muslim", I keep having to add them)
I know it's "your" religion, so obviously it's special and not like those other religions at all, but schisms, quite often due to cultural/local interprations, happen constantly. The only way the majority of the muslim world will be united politically under their religion is if one interpretation of it imposes itself by force. So in a way the nutbags have the most realistic solution if the goal is restoring the caliphate.

Afaik, the Quran is an even bigger mess than both the new and old testaments. It was edited countless times, removing and adding so many contradictory parts that in the end you can interpret it as a humanist treaty, as a pamphlet for violent religious conversion and expansion or anything in between depending on what you keep. Goes to show how much holy books are the least god-given thing ever.

that is such a ridiculous claim, millions of people on the earth have memorized the quran from back to from every letter and full stop. it hasent changed, not even 1 letter has been changed since its revelation. a muslim from china recites the exact same quran as the muslim from amercia. we only have 1 version not mutliple like bible for example. the english or other language translations may have differences but we dont call them qurans only translations the original text is the same. show your proof if you are truthfull.

I wonder when will Humanity stop killing because of crafted fairytales.

I view religious arguments like people arguing over their favorite color. It started out with the primary colors of red, blue, and yellow. Now they argue over salmon vs chartreuse vs ultramarine and a million colors in between.

Then they take out a knife and stab each other.

then i believe u need to study the religeon more if that is what you believe, someone who rejects hadith totally is unjustified and clearly shows they have alot more to learn for example we have Hadith Muttawatir please research. you need to stop seeing islam as a religeon as such, islam meaning peace through submition to the one who created you. so everything from the sun, stars, moon, even oxygon, atoms basically every natural being on earth is classed as a muslim, because they follow there natural way, humans on other hand choose wether to follow there natural way ie being muslim(the one who has submitted), my advice to you would be research properly what hadith really means. without hadith yes you will be under islam but wont know how to be muslim.

To prove your claim you would have to define what natural means. But you're lucky, because religion doesn't work like that. Religion works this way:

You say that Islam is the true way of living or following natural way of things. By saying that you have defined Islam by using term natural.

Then I ask you what natural means and you answer that natural is what Islam says is natural. Now you have defined natural by using term Islam.

See what I did there?

Seems that you have an answer to every question, it's a shame your answers don't make any sense.

Religion was necessity for ancient man, to give him the reason to carry on with his life and provide him with some so called answers (which he made up by himself). Now we have science, which is much better at providing answers than religion. Therefore, religion is not needed anymore.

I'm not sure why I wrote this because I know that every religious person will tell me that I speak like this because I'm possessed by devil and that I don't love God...

OBERYN check Alex Jones and what he do before u use the deadly word "Conspiracy" and callin me/us Fools.

Obvisously Western Goverments akay UNO akay USA akay BANKSrupt the WORLD playin their Game with what they got.The arabic world got deep cultural Problems no doubt.

BUT:
In german Interwebz it is stated that Israel dropped a Uran Bomb or Nuclear Bomb in Damaskus at Civil Exploratory.I got no Problems with Jews but Zionists!!!

Recently i saw a Interview of an Ex ALJAZEERA Journalist of a well respected Magazin in Germany.He stated that AL Jazeera was introduced by BBC and how it turned too a PROPAGANDA MACHINE like WESTERN MEDIA.Hes a Syrian living in Germany for 23 Years now btw.
Terrorist is as dumb of a Discripton just like ConspiracyTheorie too kill any Context one could give who owns a critical Position too the common Opinion of the Mass.

As I LIVE IN GERMANY and know very well that my "Country" is the 2nd biggest Weapon Producer and Supplier in the HOLE WORLD ,i know that most so called Terrorists are supplyd by my "Goverment" which is in Fact still in WorldWarII and actually goverend by the National Socialists ,which also infiltrated various other Nations like USA and The Establishment(UK)
This National Socialists werent and isnt wanted by the Germans but by the Industrial Billionairs of Germany,EU,UK or USA.This Industrys are controlled by the Banks because in Fact all of The Major Industries owned by them(I forget the number but i believe it was ca.5000)and they are theirself owned by a very small Group of Humans.(In Fact 13 Family Trees I believe)
I guess u know exactly in which way our Moneysystem works.Its all about Debts.U just can make a Profit if someone else have a Debt in return.If u not understand this Sentence I highly suggest too educate urself about how exactly our Banksystem works!!!!.
Since the Western Banksystem is actually bankrupt since no phisycall Worth covers the Paper(Digital)money the Banks aint bet at Science,Economiclly Improvment or Food but in War! too cover their Banknotes.They do this for atleast 200 Years now and so they are the actual Source of the majority of Big Wars at our Planet because they are the Ones that profit of it.
Again check ur Facts!!!!
As i stated Germany is 2nd biggest Producer and Supplyer of Weapons in the HOLE WORLD.For exampel Germany GmBH(Company) just delivered 5 Submarine Boats ,which are capabel too launch Nuclear Rockets ,too Isreal.
1st Weapon Producer and Supplyer of Weapons in the HOLE WORLD are the USA which actually deliver and plan too deliver Weapons too Syria "Opportunitists".
By the Way check Goldman Sachs which literally owns most of HumanASSES at the Paper.If u did that u can come back and tell me once again that Alex Jones, HURRICANE and me are Fools.
As u said u got ur Informations of the Internet i assume u very well educated about Mass Medias ,one Part of the Western WARMACHINE.

Way to be a douche. I've always been more on the agnostic side but I fell out with Christianity a long time ago and ever since argued firmly against religion, but not necessarily God. In terms of logical when I was reading the Quran the stories are a lot more believable and practical, the rules and laws make logical sense and when you put it all together it adds up if you have faith. That's what I meant by that so stfu.

If you're into researching religious stories, I suggest Hinduism. Things aren't simple like in Christianity and to some extent, Islam. There are some really interesting stories in there. Also, the concept of having three gods which are basically one (but split into different roles) makes much more sense than Christian idea of good and evil (God and Devil).

It makes perfect sense that there's more logic in Islam than in Christianity. Islam is the youngest of all major religions, they had the chance to learn from others and avoid some obvious logical fallacies in their dogma.

Hinduism has some fantastic and fascinating stories. But you can really sense that they all derived from famous historical figures who were eventually turned into deity's. They have some ridiculous number of God's to. Numbering into the millions.

That is true. My dad's reading a book that suggests that Islam is largely influenced by Zoroastrianism as well. They pray 5 times a day and a whole bunch of other stuff which is remarkably similar. Some of it is partially why I think a lot of Islamic influence in the hadith is purely cultural and not really faith related: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroastrianism

As brutal a dictator as Assad is, I still see him as better for Syria than whatever would emerge from the "coalition" of rebels fighting against him. The most likely outcome would be total fragmentation of Syria along ethnic lines.

It's not the most likely outcome, it is THE outcome if the Assad regime falls. I have some Syrian acquaintances I got to know through a seminar on the conflict in Syria (I was interning at a newspaper, so had to do some research), and as much as they despised Assad for his dogmatic ways they preferred his rule over any coalition of rebel groups. In the event of the Assad regime's fall, an ethnic cleansing would be imminent almost as a direct consequence.

Syria used to be a very tolerable country, in fact it used to be considered the Switzerland of the Middle East. Sadly, the Muslim Brotherhood put a swift end to that.

So as much shit Assad does, he's a far better alternative than ethnic massacre.

Good morning  :)

I see some serious discussions on different matters here. Actually, I am happy to see some guys who really think after reading something or not believing everything he read or watch. Lets begin.

About religion:  Well, everyone who talks about Islam is mainly thinking about praying styles. It is strange that in Islam, prayings are not important as you think. If a muslim prays 5 times in a day but still keeps doing usury with illegally or with bank, we cannot say he has 100% faith. You know, more than 50% of Turkish population has dept to the banks cos of using usury even if they say ''we are muslims''. But Quran says that if someone is in a usury thing, you will visit the hell. Yes, Quran doesnt tell praying styles but it tells this directly. But people dont care much and still pointing praying styles. Also, Quran orders to work but main muslim(only they call themselves muslim) population ignores this. Do they think if a building could be built by itself while they are praying for example?

Another problem with religion is defining religions of people. In Islam, no-one can say ''you are muslim, you are christian, you are atheist, you will go to the hell, you will go to the heaven, you are sunni, you are shii, etc...''. When we follow history of religions, people always try to put someone between God and themselves. So they can blame someone if something goes wrong or point him when they face with God. But in Islam(I think it is  same in every religions), you cannot put someone between you and God. For example if someone calls himself an ''atheist'', you cannot say ''you will go to the hell''. Cos life is long, he can return to believe in God or he just does it but lies, etc. Only God knows at the end. On the other hand, only God can decide who goes hell and heaven. In Islam, deciding someone's religion is a great sin like ''seeing himself like a God''. We call it ''şirk, shirk'' in Turkish. I think it is a great problem for whole world.
Lets think if we cannot decide(like quran orders) religions on people's mind... We wouldnt fight for religions in the past or now(I dont think they still fight for religions but they show themselves as a reason denyable)...

About Syria, I found good responses from you guys. Especially Harry.

About Turkey, Turkish government and people... Well, Turkish government is a tongs of US government it seems. They try to provoke Turkish population for convincing them to declare a war against Syrian government with their papers and tv channels. But Turkish people started to see the truth about Turkish government and understand there is no reason to fight against our Syrian brothers.

Have a good day  :wink:

Westerners were euforic and deluded in the beginning of the arabic spring.
Thinking removing oppressive regimes would result in something democracylike.
Mubarak and Ghaddafi fell easily, so why not Assad?
Not stopping to see the huge differences.

The mainstream media served up a concoction of propagandalike stories misrepresenting the situation.
Mostly favoring the "rebels".

You could see this clearly in the bettingmarkets in the summer/autumn of 2012.
Resulting in odds 1.33 (25%) on Assad to fall / 4.00 (75%)on Assad to stay in power until 1.jan 2013.
Everyone wanted to bet on Assad falling. Wishfull thinking?

All civil wars are ugly, and the longer they last the uglier they become.
Filling youtube and the like with footage of untrained peasants and kids shooting aimlessly from the hip towards Assads forces generates support.
Filling youtube with executions and screams of "Allah o Ackbar!" does not.

When reality broke the bubble, showing both sides were seriosly flawed, I think alot of people became undecided.
Hoping the conflict would just end fast, either outcome.

Something like this is pretty much what I got from the media in the UK. It started out as being portrayed as a good thing. Now everyone is a lot more uncertain now that they actually know something about the individual factions.

The majority of news reports on it now focus on the refugees. Which in some ways is good because their plight does need to be highlighted now it's getting on 2 million of them.

Ah no. Assad is like all powerful men. He cares about his power, but very little about the little people.

But the main issue in these Muslim countries is, that the vast majority of people has very little or no education at all.
So they believe what their religious leaders tell them and hope for a better time in afterlife.
The religious leaders tell them God (Allah) wills it, they do it. Even if its a suicide mission because they are 100 % sure Allah will like it and give them some extra virgins when they enter paradise.


The USA and their European vassalls are controlled by Saudi gold. Thats for sure. So they keep telling us of the brave fight of the rebells, what is bullshit.
Should the rebells win, Syria would fall back to a very primitive level where women are not allowed to leave the house alone, get a drivers licence or study and such for us 'normal' things. And of course they would have to wear these silly clothes where they even cant see something.

 
Doubt you can call 90% of a religion for sectarians lol.


I think he meant Salafists, those Sunnis who take Mohameds words literally and want the world to stay as it was at Mohameds days: Women have no rights. Old men marry little girls. Can have up to four little girls. And of course kill everyone who doesnt stick to their rules. And the rules are very strict: Drink some water in Ramadan, you get killed. Question if its right that an old man marries a child of 7 years, you get killed. That way.

You have no idea what you are talking about. During our banking crisis, we printed 700 billion new dollars. That should have resulted in the devaluation of the dollar, but it didn't. The dollar is worth more today against other currrencies than it was before the financial crisis.
Well then you would think that it would cause inflation. Nope. Inflation dropped to .1% in 2008 and is around 1% now in the U.S. and it hasn't gone above 3% since the crisis.
Well then foreign governments like Saudi Arabia loaned that money to the U.S.!
Nope. The Federal reserve doubled its holdings to 1.66 trillion at that time which works out to, yep about 800 billion. We printed the money and borrowed it from ourselves.
Thanks World!

Hell, even without those facts, you have other facts in the way of your "Saudi Arabian gold" conspiracy. The biggest owner of U.S. foreign debt, not National, we hold 2/3 of that ourselves is China, and they only just barely edge out Japan. Followed by them is the United Kingdom and Brazil. Brazil holds more U.S. foreign debt than Saudi Arabia. The only way you get past Brazil (but not even the U.K.) is to combine all oil exported as a group, which means including Ecuador, Venezuela, Indonesia, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Gabon, Libya, and Nigeria along with Saudi Arabia.

Isn't this statement a bit strange? I would expect other countries' currency to devalue along the devaluation of the dollar, since the worth of their own money is tied to the USA's debt towards that country

No, it is based upon the ability to maintain the worth of the currency. The U.K and Japan's investment in dollars, while sounding large to the common person, is a sliver compared to their overall value and it isn't like there a lot of choices out there (and the Euro isn't just the U.K. anyhow) They are comparative values. If the U.S. were to suddenly renege on its debts, its value would plunge. While the countries invested in the dollar would have some loss, it would be more than made up for by investors flocking into those currencies and out of the dollar. In relation to each other, the dollar would plunge while the other currencies would increase in value. Now if the Great Depression part Deux in America caused a worldwide recession/depression, then you would likely see a drop across the board while precious metals skyrocketed, but in comparison to each other, the dollar would still not maintain its value against the other currencies.
That volatility and the manipulation of the currencies with the ability of certain countries *coughUScough* to be able to simply print new money is a big part of the reason that China is pushing to have a Global currency that isn't tied to any country. This would certainly cause other problems by preventing countries from being able to artificially devalue their currency (sort of the problem Greece has being part of the EU and tied to the Euro), like for instance Japan. That is the strategy they are using for their current recovery. Why would you devalue your currency? To make your goods more attractive for export, which was the game China has played for decades, which kind of makes their proposal a bit ironic, while at the same time explaining why it was not a very big push. I don't think they were serious about it quite yet, but they are making waves because once they shift to more of a consumer society, they will want to prevent other countries from doing what they have done in order to keep their manufacturing and jobs and therefore the goods being bought local to China. Oh yeah, that and China needs to become a larger player in Banking (not they the don't have the money to do so). Because once a Global currency is no longer based upon the ability of a single country's abilities to pay its debts, the player in charge of how much currency is in the market and what a unit of that currency will buy will be a Global Bank that manages its value.

No, it is based upon the ability to maintain the worth of the currency. The U.K and Japan's investment in dollars, while sounding large to the common person, is a sliver compared to their overall value and it isn't like there a lot of choices out there (and the Euro isn't just the U.K. anyhow) They are comparative values. If the U.S. were to suddenly renege on its debts, its value would plunge. While the countries invested in the dollar would have some loss, it would be more than made up for by investors flocking into those currencies and out of the dollar. In relation to each other, the dollar would plunge while the other currencies would increase in value. Now if the Great Depression part Deux in America caused a worldwide recession/depression, then you would likely see a drop across the board while precious metals skyrocketed, but in comparison to each other, the dollar would still not maintain its value against the other currencies.
That volatility and the manipulation of the currencies with the ability of certain countries *coughUScough* to be able to simply print new money is a big part of the reason that China is pushing to have a Global currency that isn't tied to any country. This would certainly cause other problems by preventing countries from being able to artificially devalue their currency (sort of the problem Greece has being part of the EU and tied to the Euro), like for instance Japan. That is the strategy they are using for their current recovery. Why would you devalue your currency? To make your goods more attractive for export, which was the game China has played for decades, which kind of makes their proposal a bit ironic, while at the same time explaining why it was not a very big push. I don't think they were serious about it quite yet, but they are making waves because once they shift to more of a consumer society, they will want to prevent other countries from doing what they have done in order to keep their manufacturing and jobs and therefore the goods being bought local to China. Oh yeah, that and China needs to become a larger player in Banking (not they the don't have the money to do so). Because once a Global currency is no longer based upon the ability of a single country's abilities to pay its debts, the player in charge of how much currency is in the market and what a unit of that currency will buy will be a Global Bank that manages its value.
Now for my tin foil hat. If that comes to happen, the countries that aren't part of running it, and common pissants like us will forever be locked into the 99%. Only then it will be the 99.9999%

Thanks for this explanation, very insightful.

kfn because obscure TLA in lower case using only consonants is exactly the kind of name you would expect from this guy

Who also happens to be saying "clear, concise and to the point" when describing such naming practices.

The liability of giraffes is a concern to the common wealth of the Caribbeans, they don't produce enough profit so that they can accomplish post-election violence.

But also commonly known as the radiation from Xenon lamps. All in all I think I prefer the latter.

BTW did you know a Brood once named Henry boarded a train with nothing but his passport? I think that was very fulfilling. As the saying goes; "You reap what you sow."
He sure liked to properly educate the masses, much like lutherans.

I still don't think it's appropriate, but it's a forgivable matter. It is all over in a fortnight anyway. Otherwise, who is responsible if not the liposuctions of post-conception? That is very bad, in my frank opinion.

The reason is that a part of nobody is jokingly expressing themselves when a conversation believes they are having someone seriously.
