Is Islam synonymous with piracy?
If the text of the Koran is supposed to be the words of Gabriel, from the Book of God...then why is God such a pirate in the Koran? Bonus points to anyone who can tell me what Muhammad sold when he first worked for Khadija. Did he sell the idol of Allah perhaps? Was he trying to establish a Monopoly on idol sales when he smashed 365 other idols?
Personally, I don't see how Islam is not the religion of Desert Pirates. Even the treating of orphans and poor well seem to be a way to guarantee a large army that had nothing to lose in the sense of Muhammad's fights.

6 AnswersPhilosophy1 decade agoWhere is Iran getting the assembly parts for 3000 centrifuges?
The UN Resolution says no one is allowed to supply Iran with materials for Nuclear plants, yet now they announce they are building 3,000?
When are we going to wake up and destroy all 13 or 15 of their plants and put them on front street?
Is anyone else tired of the Islamic countries holding us hostage on one topic or another and using the UN like an ATM?
They are in a win win situation, are they not? If they make nuclear power, they can become a threat. If they build a lot of plants that create enriched Uranium, they are a real threat. And the closer they get to a nuclear warhead, the more dangerous they appear. And every dollar they invest in the program is worth 10 times that in Diplomatic buy off money when the time comes for full blown sanctioning. Does no one else see that we are being duped by backwards Bedouin Pirates?
I don't pay ransoms, why is everyone else content to play this game?
8 AnswersMilitary1 decade agoCracking fingertips...???
I work as a server and have very dry skin (eczema). I am 29, so I have the eczema under control, but it is showing up on my fingertips now that I have been a server at the Red Lob for the last month or so. I clipped my fingernails tight but not beyond the quick, then the ridge line split parallel to my fingernail. They dry due to constant washing on a very busy shift and I rarely get a day off...now they are splitting perpendicular to my nails...and they hurt when I touch anything.
Is there a way to harden the skin around your fingernails to make it impervious to these types of problems? Calling all nail specialists and manicurists...I need your help? Is there a product I can buy or a procedure I can go through to stop this occurence...heck it hurts to type this question. (I just got salt juice in the crack from a Wendy's fry - it burns and burns like fire just beneath the surface of what feels like my entire fingertip. Help, Please...I don't want to quit over this!
3 AnswersSkin Conditions1 decade agoWhy do people believe Fascism is on the far Right? Who invented the U shaped political spectrum?
It seems to me that the dictionary definition of Fascism (National Socialism) and the current understanding of Fascism are totally off. We have the wikipedia definition. We have all the commies and liberals pointing at Republicans and calling them fascists.
Is it possible that the Democrats and Liberals are the Fascists?
Is it Possible that Fascism is just Communism with a touch of piracy before the redistribution? Both lead to totalitarianism... And Fascism has nothing to do with Capitalism, unless you change the word to Imperialism like Marx does.
Is it possible that the political spectrum we use today was nothing but a Marxist Hoax that the world has swallowed hook line and sinker...??? Here, fishy fishy fishy...
4 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoHas the Republican Party unofficially Split in two?
It seems that the Neoconservatives led by Bush, McCain, Hagel and Warner are communists, since they are searching for compassionate conservatism as a justification and moral sanction for their elite status as well as open borders.
While the Christian Right and Conservatives have remained hard core on the planks of Republicanism...and are headed by offshoot unexpected spokesmen like Tancredo and even Gingrich.
If the country was polarized evenly, and the Republican party has split and torn apart...is it possible for them to ever put Humpty Dumpty back together again? Or win a major election?
Usually a 3% margin was the only necessity to guarantee a Presidential win...if the Republican Party has split 60/40 in favor of the Commie NeoCons...what does that mean for 08? A guaranteed Hillary Clinton Barack Obama Ticket Landslide? Is itpossible that Murdoch was forcing a leftward trend across the board to guarantee this outcome, since Murdoch supports Hillary Clinton for Prez?
6 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIs Hugo Chavez going to make Cuba a state of Venezuela?
Apparently he has added a new star to his flag. Apparently he has received 5 billion in relation building funds from China. Apparently no one realizes that his Bolivarian Revolution is fascism.
If he takes over Cuba and gives oil rights to China and props missiles like Russia wanted to in the early Sixties will the news Media proclaim him a saint?
Is it posible that his co-op program and nationalization efforts are THE most dangerous Fascist trend since Hitler's push to take Europe? Does he want all of South America?
Has anyone considered the rise of ChicanoFascism? Or what it means in terms of NAFTA, CAFTA, SAFTA, or a porous southern US Border?
3 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhy do Democrats ask leading questions?
Most people want an answer when they ask a question. Democrats already have the answer they want, so they ask leading questions to guarantee they will be backed up. It is like a school yard argument with these liberal clowns. Have the Democrats just learned their art of questioning by watching the poll spinsters and media hack journalists on TV?
Do Democrats want answers or allies when they ask questions?
Can Democrats only make arguments based on slanted polls and twisted lies?
I don't understand how over 50 percent of this country has turned Fascisti... Does no one realize that Fascism is defined as national socialism? And that Nationalizing Healthcare is Fascist?
Just curious about your thoughts on this bothersome trend...
