THE ARMENIAN FORCES...
How do you know this?
Yes, thats my point. Both sides make stuff up about each other.
BTW asked another Q on the previous post.
Oh come one Adnan. Weren't you the one that said that the Shia believe that Sunnis hold their hands on their waist during prayers because they wanted to stop the idols from falling from under their...
Since you guys are determined to eat this guy alive here's a "theory" that while far-fetched, is at least claimed by the people themselves:
Theory of Pashtun descent from Israelites
For people...
Yeah, sorry. I'll lay off the Borat jokes for a year or so from here on.
Contrary to what the religious will tell you the discovery of intelligent Alien life forms will indeed completely shatter the foundations of Islam and Christianity.
One of the central foundations...
Exactly, so you have not problem with immigrant invasions, why give Kosovans are hard time about it? Because they're Muslim?
This is assuming the Kosovan Albanians are immigrants to begin with,...
Rush, you're a person of euro-descent living in north america. Do you realise this?
Great stuff madtao!
Great, Rush is now gonna go down that same line of reasoning he uses on Palestinians by attempting to prove people X are actually people Y therefore have no rights and should be thrown out of their...
For more harsh critiques of Islam, try this out:
Why I am not a Muslim by Ibn Warraq
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_I_Am_Not_a_Muslim
It has questionable ideas in it, but over-all quite...
Either bring back Yugoslavia, or let the Kosovo go free. Anything else makes zero sense. It doesn't make sense to let every ethnic group in the Balkans have their own little spot and then expect the...
Well they get both.
Largely because, like a lot of Muslim nations, their flags involved arabic script calligraphy with the dynasties names and such - not exactly creatively inspiring. Though it...
I just wanted to say that Alpaca is the best scripter out there. I learnt a lot from his tutorials.
I'm just gonna say one thing to you Adnan. You should be more skeptical when people tell you to believe that some old man is sinless. Especially an old medieval middle-eastern man. Even the Prophet...
Muhammad : His Life Based on the Earliest Sources by Martin Lings
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Lings
A pretty comprehensive and scholarly account of the Prophet's life. I think its a must...
Well Shi'at Ali literally translates to "Partisans of Ali" so Adnan is sort of right.
EDIT: Looks like you mentioned that too Farnan/MWNN, cool.
@Adnan
How do you know they were sinless?...
Just a quick translation tip to people:
Ahlul means "people of the".
IE Ahlul Kitab = People of the Book (kitab) = all Jews & Christians
IE Ahlul Sunna = People of the Sunnah = People of the...
Whats stunning is that the Darfurians are Muslims as are their tormentors. Where are those Muslims that were crying "Murder!" everytime a cartoon is published or a crappy author knighted? Hypocrites...
As far as BC is concerned we are in fact making the Khwarezm into basically a "Persian" Kingdom.
In fact BC has two pseudo-Persian kingdoms: Khwarezm and the Sultanate of Ghazni. They both have...
Bull****. Those people don't hate each other. The Darfur situation is one motivated by scarce resources, drought and a malicious government's plan to drive out and exterminate one group of people in...
As far as I'm concerned Dawn of Kingdoms, thanks to your and LC's work, is definitely one of the best upcoming major conversions. So I wasn't passing judgements on other great mods, just a defense of...
Hilary Clinton. Sooo hot.
Very nice. And thank you for your support. :yes:
What?
OK. I hope no one was offended here. The fact is that I did not make this thread nor have I ever exhibited competitive behavior about other mods. We're all hobbyists and we're all doing what we have...
Thanks Manuel, I'll build the family tree tonight hopefully.
There was no such kingdom called "Iran" at this time. The Khwarezm was effectively a Turko-Persian Dynasty - not a full-blooded Iranian one. Please don't mix up modern-day nationalism with the...
I hate to drag this on, but you seriously don't have a clue.
BC is a total conversion mod with a brand new map, game mechanic, AOR, skins, models, and 16+ new factions and 215+ new units.
As I...
Everyone is a little bit racist. But not for the same reasons.
Some are racist out of pure evil and malcontent. Some are racist because they don't know any better and just have been raised that...
Lets start a list of largely unconquered then, and a few discrepencies are tolerable (ie king X nominally ruled region Y for 2 years).
Japan
Central Arabia
Scandinavia
Why would Osama bin Laden be sorry for fallen American soldiers?
I wasn't trying to excuse the disgusting stuff going on in the Congo. I just felt the hypocrisy of commenting on the barbarity of the African and then proceeding to recommend genocide in the same...
While I'm sure CAE is a great mod, I don't think it's even in the same ballpark as BC.
Sorry, but Iran? Iran didn't even exist at this time. So there's no way it could even be theoretically called that. You have to remember that the lands of Khwarezm is not Iran. Khwarezmia is a region...
Actually, I'm referring to the tribes of the Najd. Central Arabia. That place is like mars. The fact that people live there is a miracle in-itself. I don't think the Muslim armies count since those...
Like with all faith-based initiatives they expected miracles. And, as usual, Jesus was a no-show.
Nope, never. I'm talking about the tribes deep in the Arabian heartland.
Yes. Them too.
The fact is that there were lots of un-conquered peoples in history, largely because there was no...
