Islam is misunderstood.

we managed. It is likely that the arabs would be MORE SCREWED.

Um, no, we didn't manage. The 1970's were a clusterfuck of a decade.

What we should have done then is invest in alternative energy. Instead, we fell off the wagon and became even more addicted.

According to Freedom House, Jordan is ranked as the 4th freest Arab country, and as "partly free" in the Freedom in the World 2017 report. According to Freedom House, a quarter of all declines of freedom in the world in 2016 took place in Europe.[18] Since 1972 (1978 in book form), Freedom House publishes an annual report, Freedom in the World, on the degree of democratic freedoms in nations and significant disputed territories around the world, by which it seeks to assess the current state of civil and political rights on a scale from 1 (most free) to 7 (least free).Jordan hosted more than 655,000 refugees from Syria, including 16,000 Palestinians, as well as almost 60,000 refugees from other countries including Iraq, Yemen and Somalia, and 2.1 million long-term Palestinian refugees.

The conflict between Iraqi Sunnis and Shias sustains ISIS
One of the single most important factors in ISIS's resurgence is the conflict between Iraq's largest two Arab religious groups: Shias and Sunnis. ISIS fighters themselves are Sunnis, and the tension between the two groups is a powerful recruiting tool for ISIS.

In the most basic theological terms, the Sunni-Shia split in Islam originated with a controversy over who would take power after the Prophet Mohammed's death. Today, of course, Iraq's sectarian problems aren't about relitigating seventh-century disputes; they're about modern political power and grievances. But those do tend to fall along Sunni-Shia lines.

a factor----but not THE REASON-----the perverted concept of CALIPHATE UBER ALLES was theorized
by the rapist himself and rendered concrete by one of his successors----the vile UMAR who can be credited for
lots of the really filthy stuff which is dhimmia. Some Shiites and sunnis---on a casual basis DENY the rift------
but in fact, sunnis and Shiites hate each other-------it works out because MOST Shiites are Iranians and
Iranians have hated arabs (almost all sunnis) since arab hordes trampled Persia

Well, if crazy were an energy source, you could put Saudi Arabia out of business.

The myth that we are running out of gas was destroyed decades ago. It's why your terrorist buddies are falling apart. There is so much gas their oil is becoming irrelevant.

No, guy, despoiling the environment to get fossil fuels it wasn't economically feasible to extract before isn't a good idea, either.

Eventually- we will run out.

You're such a clown.

Oil is extremely plentiful, and the most economical AND SAFE power source know to man. Nuclear is close, but when things go wrong the fallout is grave.

Wind is a ******* disaster, probably the most destructive energy source, decimating bird populations, particularly raptors. Solar panels go bad after about 10 years and leave toxic waste that will take decades to degrade.

 

[Uncensored2008]

how is your comment, joe, responsive to that of member? It is true that oil is becoming a bit less
POWERFUL than it was in the past

I'm sure that if the Arabs did another 1974 style embargo, we'd be screwed.

As with virtually everything you are sure of, including the Stalinism you embrace, you are utterly wrong.

Through fracking, the US has more than enough fuel to let the Arabs starve.

The 1970's were a different time. Canada and Mexico both have huge reserves, and fracking has unleashed an ocean of oil here at home.

No, it isn't plentiful, nor is it safe.

Now go away, the adults are talking.

Yes, oil is plentiful since it is an abiotic fluid naturally produced by the friction caused by the earth's crust and the second most prevalent fluid on the planet. Artificial scarcities have been created to drive up the price because the "petro dollar" has been ruling since 1971 when Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard per the Bretton Woods agreement after WWII. Is it being used to it's full potential? Not a chance.......carburetors invented by entrepreneurs that could use 100 percent of the gasoline while not producing exhaust (instead of the 20 percent) has been suppressed under the guise of "national security" along with 6,000 other patents...many (but not all) would free us from petro.Self generating energy technology has been around since the days of Tesla. Da "gubermint" raided Tesla's files after he died and confiscated them. This is all documented.......

According to Freedom House, Jordan is ranked as the 4th freest Arab country, and as "partly free" in the Freedom in the World 2017 report.

The commode caveat is " among arab countries " and the pan arabism nausea . Moderate is a euphemism , an orwellian double speak , covert , code word , for moderated into censorship .

* Blaming The Victim *

According to Freedom House, a quarter of all declines of freedom in the world in 2016 took place in Europe.[18]

The principle question is this , "Why is europe surrendering its civil liberties to entreat the mental stupor of fictional ishmaelism ? "

All boiled down , religion is creed and no creed is sacrosanct . A claim of religious exception does not exist that entitles individuals to threaten or to commit illegitimate aggression against the self ownership or self determination of others . Individuals subject to such threats or actions are entitled to self defense that includes exclusion of the illegitimate aggressors .. The qurayn directives which violate non aggression principles to implement the religious polity of fictional ishmaelism cannot be extricated and , while not all adherents attest a commitment to follow such directives , all adherents are accessories to the facilitation of its incidence . Numbers translate into votes and public policy , and while cultural exchange should be a virtue , an extension of citizenship should be privileged to those whose creed is consistent with non aggression principles .

The entire ideology of fictional ishmaelism i slam and its pretentious supremacy for arab cultural hegemony , at its core , embrace hisbah , which is an abdication to totalitarian authority , that deceitfully lauds democracy for its tyranny by majority , while covertly deriding individual liberty ( except for its absurd perception of it ) as it rejects non aggression principles by doctrine .

Hisbah (Arabic: حسبة‎‎ ḥisbah) is an Islamic doctrine which means "accountability".[1] Hisbah is the divinely-sanctioned duty of the ruler (government) to intervene and coercively "enjoining good and forbidding wrong" in order to keep everything in order according to sharia (Islamic law).[2] The doctrine is based on an expression from the Quran (الأمر بالمَعْرُوف والنَهي عن المُنْكَر).[1][3][page needed] Some Salafists suggest that it is the sacred duty of all Muslims, not just rulers.[2]

* Your Own Fault *

Since 1972 (1978 in book form), Freedom House publishes an annual report, Freedom in the World, on the degree of democratic freedoms in nations and significant disputed territories around the world, by which it seeks to assess the current state of civil and political rights on a scale from 1 (most free) to 7 (least free).Jordan hosted more than 655,000 refugees from Syria, including 16,000 Palestinians, as well as almost 60,000 refugees from other countries including Iraq, Yemen and Somalia, and 2.1 million long-term Palestinian refugees.

The mindlessness of even allowing fictional ishmaelism refugees into the west stems from the words of mu ham mad in surah 47 , which he named after himself , as none are attempting to hide his creed , except those seeking to covertly forward it . In surah 47 , mu ham mad explains that war is expected and that might makes right , along with a modus operandi of do not weaken and call for peace while superior - saheeh international translation .

47:4 So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]. And if God had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of God - never will He waste their deeds.

47:11 That is because God is the protector of those who have believed and because the disbelievers have no protector.

47:35 So do not weaken and call for peace while you are superior; and God is with you and will never deprive you of [the reward of] your deeds.
