Okay... I stated what I had to say... Most would rather attack each other, than contribute to the actual topic.. (which is what I expected in here.. and as ,I said in Moe's UFO thread..., why you rarely see me in other areas of the forums, other than the games and other religion section, in my spiritual threads.. OH.. and a thread I made with some cooking recipes, awhile back...

Fox: Not my first time outside of the game section, at all.. I just have very little interest in trivial things (things that interest most people in here).. and I just use the games section as a break, as I answer a LOT of personal emails every day for my volunteer work.. I'm not an Internet junkie.. Don't watch most tv shows that most of you do.. Have no interest in what's going on in Hollywood, etc.. Have no interest in fashions/styles/etc.. Not much interest in Sports/ Cars/ who has the most money/ wireless technology/ not impressed and/or interested in sex talk, revealing photos, dating for the sake of dating/ etc/etc/etc.. My profile speaks of who I really am.. Not my Game posts.. They are mostly for humor...

I can be just as happy by myself, as when in a relationship and/or socially... My spirituality has enabled me to be this way... and I am happy with the little things in life..

As I also said in Moe's thread, I'm not into the "I'm right.. You're wrong" thing, that goes on in almost every Internet forum I have seen.. You can believe what I say, deny it, call me crazy, or whatever.. It's your right and choice to do so... No offense, but it really doesn't matter to me what anyone thinks of my opinions.. I usually just state something once or twice and move on.. Life is too short for arguments.. and if I'm going to have a long debate with someone, I'd rather do it face to face, where there is usually a lot more respect between the two parties involved..

BLESSINGS!

Hey Jagbird...

I like Your open-mindedness.

I think Mr. Fox was a little indignant about a comment about Kufeeya head-gear as being something to do with being a terrorist symbol, but if there's ever going to be any Hadithites attacking... They're not going to be wearing anything as obvious as that. They'll try to look like any other more Western attired person.

with English accents...

There are may types of 'English' accents...

The Hadithites will use whatever is the local colloquialisms.

(For As Long As They Need It)

no, it means they were raised in environment that speaks with an English accent...

The English language is so broadly spoken it's no small wonder anybody trying to mix-in will use whatever accent is needed.

I was born and raised in Canada, but I could just as easily come down to Texas and put-on a Southern-Drawl that would probably even fool You, Moe.

Howdy Ya All...!

I's as happy as kitten behind a leaky cow!

Ye Haw !!!

Anybody else wana be as big a Red-Neck as me?

Weeeell Doggy! <----- Just Like Buddy Ebsen ----<<<


(Everybody Loves The Beverly Hillbillies)

lol, i'm pretty good with accents, there aren't many people can fake an accent with me...

All You've gotta do is drive strait North, right past the Yankee territory and as soon as You get to Minnesota You'll be adjusted with Rocky and Bullwinkle's lingo.

(Minnesotans, are just Canadians living South of the border)

that's right, ahy... i know what your talking aboot...

I could do your two accents, but i bet you couldn't do my Glasgow one? Not a general Scottish accent like Sean Connerys, but a proper Glesga accent, we say it. Try it and see?

Aye Tim, all I've got to do is start reading some Robert Burns, and I'll put on a wee brogue for Ya!

Pour enough Scotch in me and before long I'll be completely unintelligible in Gaelic.

May I bore you people with a bit of history. To understand ISIS (or as I prefer to call them 'Da'esh' one needs to go back to the origins of Saudi Arabia.

If you have the patience and time please read this article I wrote for an Irish blogger site called Bock The Robber.

http://bocktherobber.com/2014/10/wahhabism-and-isis-the-curse-of-the-middle-east/

Loool! Just like you mastering my Kentucky accent by chugging some good ol' Kentucky Bourbon! I'll believe it when I hear it, Mr. Sheik!

Edited again for off-topic.
Do NOT carry over from other threads please.

I took a scan through it.. and from my own studies years ago on World Cultures & Religions, in university.., this is not the Muhammed I studied.. You should realize that interpretations of writings from centuries ago are often the interpretation of the individual transcribing them... Many mistakes have been made along the way..., due to personal bias and/or loss of proper translation from one language to another..

I am not defending the actions of the extremists in any way, shape or form.., but I am tired of hearing people referring to this as some kind of religious war.., when the fact is, that there are good and bad people in all walks of life.. and that this is just another example of extremism..and people who think that violence and domination is away to get their point across..

In my opinion.., the world would be a much nicer place, if we didn't separate others based on generalities... (i.e.: race/ religion/ social status/sexual orientation/ financial status/etc..).. and learned to deal with each other as individuals.. I've met good and bad people in all walks of life..

This blog seems pretty biased, to me..

What people who are interested in joining ISIS should be aware of.., is that the majority of their funding is done through the sales of animal parts..., drug trafficking... and other black market items...

They pay people to kill rhinoceros, elephants and walrus.., just for the horns.., so they can sell them on the black market... The sale of ivory tusks is a multi-BILLION dollar a year business.. No care for the animals, whatsoever.. the rest of the carcasses are often left to rot in the sun... Think about what Dian Fossey dealt with in Africa.., in the movie "Gorillas In The Mist"... This is being done with the animals fore-mentioned..

They are also using drugs & alcohol themselves... and as I mentioned at the beginning of this thread.., very hooked on pornography.., which goes against the teachings they say they follow... Basically.., they are hypocrites...., prostituting their own religion...

Also.., the women who think they are going over there to be part of a movement need to realize.., that everything you are being fed about "equality for women" is nothing but a sham... They just want you to cook, clean and be housewives for their men... Basically.., taking a step backwards in women's rights..

Don't believe everything you are told by these recruiters... Their job is to blind you from the truth.. and enlist you any way they can..

and you ain't?

i agree, don't throw away young lives....

..And most of these young women are thinking about marriage in North-American terms.. That they can choose who they want to be with... From what I have heard, ISIS delegates them to the "men who choose them".., which is just another form of slavery and control...

Hold on a second. Are you telling me the chronology of events that I outlined in this article is factually incorrect? I spent many weeks researching this history and like any decent journalist I found many corroborating sources on which to base my premmis.

Good people, bad people are you really serious?

Also, just to disabuse you in relation to religion. This Da’esh curse has of course nothing to do with religion. It has everything to do with ideology in the first instance and of course wealth, power, hatred, manipulation, slick propaganda that would try to inflict a so-called ‘Caliphate’ on a region of the Middle East which has suffered far more than any other region on this planet within the past 50-odd years for their own gains,

This hateful ideology is the direct result of the fusion of the tenets of the lunatic that was Mahummad ibn al-Waahab and the Saudi expansionism of the late 18th century. This fascism of thought is way more extreme than anything that even the GDR or USSR came up with. Slavery, cold-blooded murder (of the most grotesque kinds), mass rape… these things do not suddenly pop up in a vacuum.

Your broad statements that religion has nothing to do with the current reality that now confronts the countries in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Nigeria and even Egypt is false in my view. Religion can and does breed ideologies. This ideology was born in what is now Saudi Arabia.

I would imagine that the poor fools or western birth who travel there to fight for what the ‘believe’ in would be bumped off quietly were the whole Da’esh’ thing to succeed.

By the way, when you accused me of bias, did you mean bias against the House of Saud?
