Wow...
These people want to rule the ENTIRE world... the ENTIRE world and educate us on the grandeur of their ways. The grandeur of THEIR ways.
Yep... that's just swell.
But, but... they came up with zero in math and, uhm, chess! So there lmao
Chess has an origin in India and people contend the creation of zero came from another avenue... these people have only truly contributed pain and bloodshed across the world.
The Parthians? PERSIANS? The Mesopatamiancivilizations? Lots of contributions. Islam develops in. . . oh 500 something. NO contributions since then.
Yeah, I've noticed that too. They love to take credit for stuff done in the Middle East before Islam even existed.
Overtaking the Middle East means that the contributions of the former ethnic groups are now theirs. That is their mentality.
See what I get for listening to Brian Williams and the rest of the Lame Stream Media? I should know better, thanks for setting me straight KQueen.
You were partly right. Just off a few hundred years!
NP. It is not unusual for Muslims to try to steal other people's stuff and if they can't use it or maintain it they destroy it. That is why these people overall tend to live in squalor and as animals in the middle ages.
Zero was invented independently by the Babylonians, Mayans and Indians (although some researchers say the Indian number system was influenced by the Babylonians). The Babylonians got their number system from the Sumerians, the first people in the world to develop a counting system.

Hey, I was just popping off (me be serious?), but thanks for the history lesson y'all.
Oh, and I see DBhoy gotcha and you changed your avi. Nice comeback. Caption contest? "What's the matter, cat got your tongue?"
"Supper with Barry"
Just checking in... Psycho on TCM @ midnight (here), for all my fellow nightcrawlers. Popcorn & beverages ready and waiting.
[edit] don't get in the shower Janet, don't...agghhhhh
Norman? is that you?...Yes Mother....
I love this movie and caught it before it started, hence the popcorn and beverages were ready. Always wonder what Mr. Hitchcock could do these days if he could make one more.
I dont know, but I bet it would be awesome!
I don't know but I bet it would be fantastic....
Watching this... trying to think of the scariest movie (one that pushed my buttons & creeped me out) since I was older. The Omen is always there, but I was a kid the first time, The Exorcist. Carrie too.
Not slash & dash but... I hate to say it the one that still creeps me stars Richard Gere (I hate his pacifist ass)

Oh wait! the cop is in the house on the hill...
Mine was Monsters who challenged the earth. Scared the crap out of me. Of course, I wss 4 or maybe 5. Its on youtube. My kids think I should go.back and see how lame it was. I think as an adult, I already.know that. My kids' scariest movie was Fire in the Sky. They are still a little spooked by it!
I liked the scary stuff going back to Vincent Price, you knew it was going to be bad, but they left something to your imagination....
House [_]o roast to you nss, and it snowed again while I was watching movies/napping. It's your turn to shovel, right?
Reminded me of an old b/w Vincent Price thing from when I was a kid; had a guy in cuffs and put the key in a big clay pot just out of reach and left. Guy finally got his foot far enough to knock it over & break it to get the key... pot was full of scorpions. Gave me nightmares for weeks.
Now, about this snow thing, it IS your turn to shovel. right?
I live in Kalifoprnia, define shovel....
Six months out of the year, I can see Sacramento from my place. It makes me nervous. Don't drink the local water.
i think I recall hearing that even in the dawn of my youthful awareness off important info. certainly it was after we landed on the moon.
That farm implement you pick up after you put on the hip-boots every time your governor opens his mouth. I'm sure the bs gets pretty deep out there.
I live Up hill from Assclown Jerry Brown, so far the poo stays in the valley.

I saw something called "The Town That Dreaded Sundown" (I think) @ the drive-in of all places while in middle school.
Creepy for a kid but the scene with the trombone gave me the willies.

It boggles the mind that anyone could be dumber than Bieber, but Harf sure is giving it the old college try.
Barbief?
Or windmill salesman.
Paging Hank Johnson, paging Hank Johnson you have competition for being the biggest dumbass on planet earth in a Saudi cleric.
Wouldn't you love to lock those two in a room and record the conversation? That would be comedy gold.
Win!
A fly on the walk would be laughing his ass off.
Yet another professor candidate for UCLA, UCal Berserkley, Rutgers, or Haaavaad.
All you need to know about Islam in one handy video.
And I especially enjoy the part where he says "China would be coming towards it" if the Earth was rotating, so "airliners could just stop in the air and wait for the country to arrive beneath them." Unfortunately, Sheikh, the planet rotates in the opposite direction so not only have you displayed an extraordinary level of ignorance, but also an extraordinary level of stupidity.
Regardless of which way the Earth rotates, the stopped plane would still be able to wait for China to happen along.
Yeah, slightly longer trip going that way, but you're right. Maybe he doesn't believe the Earth is round either.

Question:
ASSALAM-O-ALAIKUM, WHAT IS THE RULING OF SHARIA ON THE MOVEMENT OF EARTH.
GIVE EXPLANATION.
Answer:
According to the teaching of Quran and Hadith, the sky and earth ARE STATIONARY and planets rotate. It is the sun that moves around the earth WHILE THE EARTH DOES NOT MOVE AROUND THE SUN.
There are many verses of the Holy Quran that clearly show the rotation of the moon and the sun, which are given as under:
1) "And made the sun and the moon subservient. Each runs to a turns stated" (Al-Quran, part 13, Sura Al-Ra'ad (The Thunder)-13, verse 2)
2) "And He made the sun and the moon subservient for you which are constantly moving" (Al-Quran, part 13, Sura Ibraheem -14, verse 23)
3) And each (The moon the sun) is floating in an orbit." (Al-Quran, part 23, Sura Yaseen -36, verse 140)
It is thus quiet [sic] clear that the sun moves and it is obligatory upon every muslim [sic] to believe it. Because it is what Allah Almighty ordains us to believe. In the light of the Holy Quran and Hadith the theory of the rotation of the earth IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG. Allah Almighty says: "Undoubtedly, Allah has withheld the heavens and the earth least they move." (AL-Quran)
for contrast:

i suppose a muzzie could be fatwaed if they taught the earth is round. but then the papist "Roman Inquisition tried Galileo in 1633 and found him "gravely suspect of heresy", sentencing him to indefinite imprisonment. Galileo was kept under house arrest until his death in 1642." wiki
He couldn't even figure that out.
On the other hand, he said, if the Earth was moving in the opposite direction the plane would never be able to reach its destination because 'China is also rotating'.
I think this guy is sitting on a rotating latex penis.
So you think he's got a sybian for personal use?
Customized with automatic lubrication and an MP3 player, to listen to his favorite goat bleating, and Muslim prayers.
With two different disguises. One looks like a goat, one looks like a small boy.
You're on a roll today RHG, I'm loving it. Saw your zinger on the other site too, sweet. (beware of flying monkey poo)
