Zone1 Do you support mutual respect of history when it comes to race/religion?

[Andrew_Jackson_FTW]

You can have that opinion. I dont see how your kind of reasoning is based on any knowlege of history.

Respect? I took this pic this summer just south of Detroit. Respect of their history?

Muslims and Arabs played a big role and helping Trump win the election. Trump was endorsed by Muslim leaders and there’s a lot of love going on so isn’t that a great thing?

Based on the various books on history that I have read and presented in the last few posts. Like the epic of the crusades by Renee Grousett…. when I make the point that in the crusader kingdom of Jerusalem, that Christians, Jews and Muslims mingled with each other and were treated equally by the Catholic court system, that’s based on historical facts.

I also have the book The medical work of the Knights hospitalillars of St. John of Jerusalem. By the American World War II veteran Erskine Hume. The book details how the Knight organization the Knights Hospitalers were among the pioneers of hospital and medical technology. And they treated Jews and Muslims. They gave refuge to Jews and Muslims just as they did a Christian. So I’m following in their footsteps. They respecting the Jewish and Muslim faith. That is the way of the cross. And it is a good thing is the right thing to do. It’s based on history. Do you want to dislike Islam or Muslims? No different than disliking Jews. I’m not going down that road.

Most modern Muslim women either don’t cover their hair or maybe just wear a hijab. But either way as a Catholic, I deeply respect the modesty of those women above, and it is mind-boggling how any Christian would make fun of those women. Especially Christian men who claim to stand against abortion and for traditional values. Of course some Muslim men might try and force their wives to cover up, but then again some Christian and Jewish men force their wives to act certain ways. But I’m not gonna get bogged down by this point.



But my posts are much more than your picture and short response above. No offense meant of course…. i’m not gonna get bogged down on what you’re trying to engage in above.


I see a major difference here so I’m a Catholic who respects Islam and Judaism. I don’t know what your religion is but if you don’t respect Islam, that is an obvious big difference between us. I’m about building Bridges. And again you’re entitled to dislike or like whatever religion you want. But I’m about building bridges like I said.

Do traditional Muslim women in the Middle East wear make up?

"Yes, many Muslim women in Saudi Arabia do wear makeup. Makeup trends in Saudi Arabia often include bold eyes and expressive looks that reflect cultural influences. However, it's important to note that the use of makeup can vary widely depending on personal preferences and interpretations of religious guidelines. Some women may choose to wear makeup in private settings or among other women, while others might wear it in public.

"The beauty industry in the region is thriving, with many local and international brands catering to the preferences of Saudi women. For example, brands like Huda Beauty, founded by Huda Kattan, have gained immense popularity in the Middle East."" AI Co-pilot

Opium sales came 300 hundred years after China's decline. You fail to connect the Europeans to China's decline hundres of years before Europeans came to China.

By having such a narrow minded point of view you show 100% ignorance of China's history and decline.

What evidence can you supply to support your claim of Chinese failure in 1500?

"China and Chinese inventions were of interest to Europeans during the scientific revolution and the Enlightenment in Europe;

• "the Chinese inventions of printing, gunpowder, and the mariner's compass were brought to Europe by Arab traders during the Renaissance and Reformation.
• Francis Bacon (1561-1626), a leading philosopher, politician, and adviser to King James I of England, was unaware of the origins of these inventions but deeply impressed by their significance when he wrote:
  • "'It is well to observe the force and virtue and consequence of discoveries. These are to be seen nowhere more clearly than those three which were unknown to the ancients (the Greeks), and of which the origin, though recent, is obscure and inglorious; namely, printing, gunpowder, and the magnet'
    • • • "'For these three have changed the whole face and stage of things throughout the world, the first in literature, the second in warfare, the third in navigation; whence have followed innumerable changes; insomuch that no empire, no sect, no star, seems to have exerted greater power and influence in human affairs than these three mechanical discoveries.'"
