    THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL AND ZIONISM

    Actually, thats not what Zionism really means. Its sad that the concept of Zionism has been hijacked by Israelis. The rise of Zionism was required for the protection of Jews against the discrimination & anti-Semitism in Europe.

    THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL AND ZIONISM

    Misinformed and biased article. Secondly, its virtually impossible to happen anytime soon. I should remind you that there are more Zionist Christians than Zionist Jews, hence, Zionism will continue to stay as long as the support of Zionist Christians are there.

    Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was a Jew

    the source of the thread i.e m-kemal.blog is a very dubious & untrustworthy source. secondly, what if he was Jewish?. Shouldn't the Turks be thankful to him for bringing Turkey out of the almost 'Dark Ages'. Come to think of it, the Ottoman Empire was great in terms of humanity, no doubt...

    Slaves in Europe

    When the Muslims were persecuted by the Pagans in Arabia, they fled to Abyssinia where they were protected by the Christians. So, there's no point considering only one-side of history, as in the past, Christians have also protected Muslims on certain situations! Well, Hijab is also banned in...

    Why Muslims are Weak Today

    The Muslims have been weak since 16th century. Muslims have had their glorious days from 8th - 16th century. Thanks to Islamic civilization, the West was able to revive its glorious past. So, why did Muslims all of a sudden collapse ? Is it because the Mongols sacked Baghdad in 1258 or...

    Lost History of Muslims in the West

    Hmm, many civilizations are not given proper credit. Thanks to our pro-Western attitude. I believe Persian contribution to the world in both pre-Islamic and Islamized Persia is given the least credit.

    Heart-Melting Story: 15,000 Muslims vs. 600,000 Romans!

    Grossly exaggerated figure!. I hate to say that its nothing more than a cheap propaganda. The battles won by Rashidun Caliphate against Persians in the East and Byzantines in the West were the greatest ones and un-parallel to any other ones in the later years. Please verify the source...

    Movie: 300

    hello/salam everyone, I think the thread starter is mistaken in saying that this movie pictured anything anti-Islamic. I watched the movie yesterday and i dont think it had nothing to do with Islam. The movie depicts the story of Battle of Thermopylae which took place 480's BC, way before...
