I think that most religious texts indicate that people should be killed for various things, actually. The Bible, Torah and Quran certainly do.
You're not contributing anything. You're just posting worthless crap that doesn't justify an intelligent response, so I though I'd point out what a worthless tart you are.
The truth is....and please correct me if I am wrong....but something taken so seriously by some, like religion should be open to all forms of scrutiny. offensive or not. It impacts on people lives and their ability make decisions so should be questioned. Some may find this offensive but they shouldnt worry if their is nothing to worry about. We do the same with everything else that has power similar to that of religion so why not do the same with religion?
When those crimes include apostasy and witchcraft, then I'd suggest that they do include killing people for having separate beliefs.
Is it? Hmmm, China, Egypt ( not middle east, its North Africa ). Much of the Far East aswell. So yeh, I call bullshit on your claim.
Now read it. "The cradle of civilization is a term referring to any of the possible locations for the emergence of civilization. It is usually applied to the Ancient Near Eastern Chalcolithic (Ubaid period, Naqada culture), especially in the Fertile Crescent (Levant and Mesopotamia), but also extended to sites in Armenia, and the Persian Plateau, besides other Asian cultures situated along large river valleys, notably the Indus River in the Indian Subcontinent and the Yellow River in China."
Lets say you are right and you could well be..... The middle east really hasnt moved forward much since being the first civilisation because its sure as hell isnt very civilised thesedays.
It did during the golden era of Islam, where it's was the leading nation/place in terms of science, philosophy, maths, arts, etc but your right, though i think the west has part to play in terms of that, i.e. installing puppet leaders and non existent monarchies, Ottoman empire, etc, etc but your right it is very, very backward in terms of those
It didn't sink though. It's currently under the south pole. That greatest of great explorers H.P Lovecraft found it.
I didn't mention Islam in my answer. You did ignore the bit about being killed for making mischief, though. 'Different times' is not an excuse for a timeless deity, either. Witchcraft is a religion. It's called Wicca and is one of the Pagan ones. Coward's concession.
back in what sense? did i back him when he was placed there as a puppet to america? NO did I back him in taking over kuwait? No did i want him to kick americas hypocritical ass in the gulf war? YES whats your point?
