Pratyatosa Dasa Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 I finally figured out why the Muslims are so prone to war: They want to decrease the number of men so that the remaining men can have multiple wives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enlightened Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Not quite the answer, but a funny joke. Don't show this to a muslim guy though because he is bound to get very mad (angry). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetstraw Posted March 31, 2003 Report Share Posted March 31, 2003 Pratyatosa Prabhu, you must be kidding. What a relief to know you are. Since 1945, our beloved USA has invaded 23 countries. America's foreign policy is certainly very heart-warming: 1) If the situation is tolerable for us, never mind how intolerable it may be for you. (and vice-versa, naturally) 2) If the situation is intolerable for us, never mind how tolerable it may be for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pratyatosa Dasa Posted April 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 I've visited Israel with my wife, and she has been there multiple times, so we do have some feeling for the nature of the Arabs. Here's what my wife has to say about my idea: > I finally figured out why the Muslims are so prone to war: They want to > decrease the number of men so that the remaining men can have multiple > wives! Maybe. The Arabs, who now make up only a minority of Muslims, but are still among the most prone to violence, were a very violent people long before Mohammed converted them. Anyway, they are allowed only four wives regardless. They can have unlimited concubines, but these women cannot be Muslim. So, according to this logic, they would *want* non-Muslim women.

Pratyatosa Dasa Posted April 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 ...for the warmonger party and put the chickenhawk morons in the whitehouse! Don't give money to low class people because they will simply spend it on sense gratification, and if they are evil, and they have way more money than they need for sense gratification, they will spend it on horrible (chemical and biological) weapons! Also, as long as there are abortion clinics and slaughter houses, there will be war! Those currently in the Whitehouse are merely the pawns of Maya Devi.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 If you have really understood that, you wouldn't have started this topic accusing the muslims being prone to war. Who is invading who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 I've visited Israel with my wife, and she has been there multiple times, so we do have some feeling for the nature of the Arabs. A Real Policy For Peace There is only one nuclear power in the Middle East: Israel. There is only one country in the Middle East that refuses to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty: Israel. There is only one country in the Middle East that refuses to allow international inspections of its nuclear facilities: Israel. There is only one country in the Middle East that stands in defiance of more than 60 United Nations resolutions: Israel. There is only one country in the Middle East that invaded and continues to occupy land belonging to its neighbors: Israel. I am not setting out to bash Israel, but merely to point out undeniable facts that most of the America media and American politicians studiously ignore. Is it too difficult for Americans to grasp that the United States has a blatant double standard and that the people in Arab countries justifiably resent that double standard? The Arabs do not expect or demand that the United States become the enemy of Israel. They recognize the close ties between the two countries. All they ask for is simple fairness. It's not fair to threaten Iraq with war for allegedly violating U.N. resolutions while protecting Israel from any consequences for violating more U.N. resolutions. It's not fair to go to war to undo the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq while condoning the continued occupation by Israel of portions of Lebanon, Syria and Palestine. It's not fair to threaten Iraq and Iran about weapons of mass destruction while remaining silent about those possessed by Israel. It's not fair to harp on the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein while rationalizing the crimes committed by Israel. Do you realize that in just the past week, as of this writing, the Israelis have killed 33 Palestinians? Do you realize that if the United States announced that its policy is to rid the entire Middle East of weapons of mass destruction, including those possessed by Israel, that the United States would receive the overwhelming support of the Arab world? Fairness was once the characteristic of the American republic. It consists simply of doing exactly what our great founder, George Washington, recommended: treat all countries the same, showing neither favoritism nor enmity to any. Moreover, he pleaded, do not involve yourself in other people's feuds and quarrels. And finally, he warned against the evils of foreign influence in our domestic affairs. Every single foreign-policy problem we face, including the threat of terrorism, is a result of violating those three admonitions: We don't treat all nations the same; we do involve ourselves in other people's quarrels; and we have allowed foreign influence to exert tremendous influence on our policies. Far from being the republic Washington and his contemporaries gave us, we have become an empire, very much like Rome. There are nearly 40,000 permanent lobbyists in Washington, swarming over our 535 elected officials like flies on roadkill. We have the bizarre ritual of practically every candidate for president making a visit to the Israeli lobby and pledging undying support for a foreign country. While millions in Africa and Latin America suffer terrible poverty, not to mention 30 million of our own people, we pour billions of dollars of aid into Israel, which has a comfortably high standard of living. Again, foreign influence is the reason. The truth is, we have no natural enemies except the North Koreans, who are taught from the cradle to hate us. Islam is not our enemy. The Arab world is not our enemy. Iran is not our enemy. Russia and China are not our enemies. Except for the North Koreans, the only enemies we have in this world are those we created with our unjust policies and actions. President Bush fancies himself a Christian. It's too bad he isn't, but then most Christians would not be recognizable to Christ if he returned to Earth. Peace, love and justice are not very fashionable in many Christian circles these days. Many of them prefer war, provided they don't have to fight it. http://reese.king-online.com/Reese_20030307/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pratyatosa Dasa Posted April 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 If the Arabs are not fighting with the Hindus in India or with the Jews in Israel or with the Christians all across the globe, they are fighting with each other: Iraqis vs. Iranians, Iraqis vs. Kuwaitis, Iraqis vs. Kurds, Kurds vs. Turks, Kurds vs. Shiites, Shiites vs. Sunnis, etc., etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theist Posted April 2, 2003 Report Share Posted April 2, 2003 Here is a site that will give some basic history in synopsis form on who ruled the region and when and who invaded who. I have included Ancient Times below. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/in_depth/world/2001/israel_and_palestinians/timeline/1century.stm Click on a year below to find out what happened Introduction Ancient times 1897 1917 1929-36 1947 1948 1964 1967 1973 1974 1977 1979 1982 1987 1988 1991 1993 1994 1995 1996 - 99 2000 2001 The Sack of Jerusalem depicted in the Arch of Titus, 70 AD Ancient times The land that now encompasses Israel and the Palestinian territories has been conquered and reconquered throughout history. Details of the ancient Israelite states are sketchy, derived for the most part from the first books of the Bible and classical history. Some of the key events include: Bibicical times 1250 BC: Israelites began to conquer and settle the land of Canaan on the eastern Mediterranean coast. 961-922 BC: Reign of King Solomon and construction of the Temple in Jerusalem. Solomon's reign was followed by the division of the land into two kingdoms. 586 BC: The southern kingdom, Judah, was conquered by the Babylonians, who drove its people, the Jews, into exile and destroyed Solomon's Temple. After 70 years the Jews began to return and Jerusalem and the temple were gradually rebuilt. Classical period 333 BC: Alexander the Great's conquest brought the area under Greek rule. 165 BC: A revolt in Judea established the last independent Jewish state of ancient times. 63 BC: The Jewish state, Judea, was incorporated into the Roman province of Palestine 70 AD: A revolt against Roman rule was put down by the Emperor Titus and the Second Temple was destroyed. This marks the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora, or dispersion. 118-138 AD: During the Roman Emperor Hadrian's rule, Jews were initially allowed to return to Jerusalem, but - after another Jewish revolt in 133 - the city was completely destroyed and its people banished and sold into slavery. 638 AD: Conquest by Arab Muslims ended Byzantine rule (the successor to Roman rule in the East). The second caliph of Islam, Omar, built a mosque at the site of what is now the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem in the early years of the 8th Century. Apart from the age of the Crusaders (1099-1187), the region remained under Muslim rule until the fall of the Ottoman Empire in the 20th Century. ^^ Back to Top © MMII | News Sources | Privacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarun Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 get down off her Yankee $laxmi horse/mare & mix with Palestinian Bedouins? Did she spend any quality time in a Kibbutz? If not, she did like most Americans & even many ISKCON devotees do: go around like tourists. Any use in doing that? Who's bulldozing whose homes? With bulldozers supplied by whom? What does PrabhupAd quotes so far 6 atatAyinAh aggressors Gita Chptr 1? According to Manu-smRti, who's justified to kill whom karma-free? Think carefully on a level Vedik playing field 'fore u reply.

Enlightened Posted April 10, 2003 Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 The muslims are prone to war for the same reason why every one who thinks of war is prone to war.... Simple explanation: We are all humans that is because we tend to look act and smell like humans right? /images/graemlins/grin.gif ... ____above line is a bad joke___ however, the simple explanation is that we are all prone to war because we have an instinct for violence. During the first era of humans here on earth, people solved conflicts with violence as a great tool. Now, the wise say, it is wrong and every one should realize that we are all humans and we have minds of our own and values and we should work with such values but... no one cares about the wise and the morals they set... so they keep killing themselves in large numbers to settle their conflicts most of the time. examples: All the conflicts which wer solved by history of the man kind Examples of some peaceful resolves: Mahatma Ghandhi trying to get independence of India... Martin Luther King trying to get his unalienable rights as a human being. So, we can say, the only reason for war is because we are slaves to such a notion, as we are slaves to the community's blind ideals and notions... So, thats the fact. thank you have a nice day and case CLOSED> -enlightened /images/graemlins/grin.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streetstraw Posted April 10, 2003 Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 Did she see Ariel Sharon in the 1985 Best Film Oscar "The Mission"? He played the Portuguese porker to whom Robert Deniro was forced to apologize. Deniro used his "hold my nose method" as he bowed down. Deniro kept tongue in cheek as he begged forgiveness. Sharon did a superb job playing his very self only 7 transmigrations ago. Further proof ParamAtma = Supersoul does remind us after all.
