While debating Muhammadan Muslims on Youtube, ive been called wither a Zionist Jew/Israeli or a racist Christian(Zionist). Neither of which I am, as Im an agnostic who sees the Jewish Levitical Law to be just as superstitious and bigoted as the Sharia of the Muhammadans. That said its funny how Muhmmadans and their Far Right and Leftwing supporters HATE the Jews but the Koran and Allah is one of the biggest supporters of the Jews.

Allah the Zionist Rock God of the Kaaba chose the Jews over every form of life in the Universe.

quote:
0 Children of Israel, remember My favor which I bestowed on and how I preferred you over the Alamin[everyone in the Universe.]
not even in the Torah is such a statement made, The Jews are chosen over manikind not the universe by the God of Israel but Allah is more Zionist than the the God of Israel.

The Land of Israel promised to the Jews until the end times..

quote:
"To Moses We [Allah] gave nine clear signs. Ask the Israelites how he [Moses] first appeared amongst them. Pharoah said to him: 'Moses, I can see that you are bewitched.' 'You know full well,' he [Moses] replied, 'that none but the Lord of the heavens and the earth has revealed these visible signs. Pharoah, you are doomed.'"

"Pharoah sought to scare them [the Israelites] out of the land [of Israel]: but We [Allah] drowned him [Pharoah] together with all who were with him. Then We [Allah] said to the Israelites: 'Dwell in this land [the Land of Israel]. When the promise of the hereafter [End of Days] comes to be fulfilled, We [Allah] shall assemble you [the Israelites] all together [in the Land of Israel]."

"We [Allah] have revealed the Qur'an with the truth, and with the truth it has come down. We have sent you [Muhammed] forth only to proclaim good news and to give warning."

Qur'an, "Night Journey," chapter 17:100-104]

Every single Muhammadan who utters their ususal Vile and stupid slurs and rants against the Jews are ALL at War with Allah in their Kufr against his Koran. From Amendinijhad to the NOI and the Islamic Mullahs and Imams, every single one of them are commiting Kufr with their Blasphemy(I will expose their further Kufr when they blaspheme against the Christians who practice a religion based on the Gospels which were revealed to Jesus by Allah) and they will Burn in Muhammads inferno. LMAO

Zionism/Zionist is the idea that the Jews have historical and Religious right to the Land of Israel.

Allah in Muhammads Koran is clearly a Zionist. Your god chose the Jew that you hate so much over every single form of life not only on earth but in this Galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy and every inch of space in the universe.

The Koran is clear and this seems to trouble you..lol. So please dispute me...

Prove your Koran is a lie..

lol.

Islam is the stupidest most idiotic cult belief system to ever be created.

^ I hate to insult any religion even Islam, but I have long noticed the Quran to be self-contradictory. In some passage, the Jews are praised while in other more numerous passages they are condemned and to be assaulted (no doubt to their refusal to accept Muhammad as a prophet). And it's not just the issue of Jews but on other issues is there contradiction. That said, I don't believe the Quran to be any word of God/Allah even less than the Bible which though written by man seems to hold less contradictions than the Quran.

Islam is not a religion but a Cult with political laws and dictates. For example Name me one Religion besides Islam where leaving it is a death sentence? Name me one religion that requires its followers to live under a law system(Shariah) based soley on the life of the Founder(Sunnah). This would be like Xtians following a law based on Jesus' actions and the Jews following a law based on Moses' Actions etc.

Islam is not a religion. It should be compared to the Mafia Crime Syndicate in America except with the "Godfather" being praised as a prophet of god.

The Caliphates were a Crime Syndacate, the first in history.
 
Posted by Djehuti (Member # 6698) on :
 
^ A cult by definition is a religious following. As far as being political it is BOTH political as well as religious. You are correct that Islam has many issues even more so than Christianity or Judaism. Judaism for example has Halakhah which is Jewish law based on Deuteronomy and Leviticus and is the equivalent of Muslim Shariah. The truth is, Shariah is actually based on Halakhah but at least there is no penalty of death for leaving the Judaic religion.

The whole subject of Islam is pretty touchy. It is followed by over a billion people and although not all are violent many do follow violent passages of jihad. It is no coincidence that wherever Muslim communities gain power or stronghold in a non-Muslim region, violence follows. This is something many Muslims and especially their leftist supporters hate to admit. At least Christianity had a reformation and then enlightenment period. Islam, a younger religion has not yet.

DJ. You forget that the concept seperating the Levitical and Mosaic/Halakah Law is that it is NOT based on the Life, Actions, Dictates, Words, and Behavior of Moses. the Sunnah is based SOLEY on Muhammads behavior. What he liked and did not like, for example Dogs and Bells, what he ate, who he liked and did'nt like, the Banning of Drinking Alcohol and the punishment of 80 Lashes is NO WHERE in the Koran but the Sunnah, the Hijab and Nikab, again the Sunnah. This is a Cult, Christians and Jews do not have laws based on the Actions and Behavior of their founder prophet.

The Subject is as Touchy as the Neo-Nazi cult. Plenty of people ascribe to the Neo-Nazi's but the Subject and ideology is hated, rightfully so, by all and any thinking and logical human being with a decent sense of honor and intelligence. The Same should be with Islam. Under Sharia it is MANDATORY to treat non Muslims as 2nd Class Citizens, and this only extends to Jews and Xtians aka Dhimies. All Atheists, Polytheists, Hindus, Buddhists, Animists are subject to being and are actively GENOCIDED in Islamic States.

Islam has had plenty of time to reform and was among the first in human history of all the major Religions to do so, only to revert back to the gutter of the 6th Century Arabia by Koran Abiding Muslims. Andalus, the Abasids, Fatimid Egypt the Persian and Indian Muslim empires are all examples of about as secular as you can get in an Islamic State.

The Billions of Muslims who don't abide by or read the Koran is meaningless. Most of them flock to our Secular Democracies from Sweden to India and demand every right under the sun while in their homelands they deny the very same rights not only to other Muslims of other sects but to non Muslims and Women.

The Sad part is what Islam has done to the Eastern Empires such as Egypt, Persia India etc. which were the bastions of free thought, philosophy, Art, Architecture, Mathmatics, science etc. The Persians and Egyptians even today, (in West of Course), Rank as some of the top Math and Science Professionals, Doctors and Engineers, all due to the Secularism of Western Thought. If they were living in Iraq, Egypt, or Pakistan they'd be a bunch of moronic, stupified, poverty stricken idiots under the dictates of Mullahs and Imams attending 3rd rate Madrassa Higher Learning pisspots such as Al-Azhar, but in the West they flourish like Roses.

Hell it was the French and British who dug up the Temples of Km.t and deciphered the Mdu-Ntr which allowed us to rediscover Kemet. The Muhammadan occupiers of Egypt and their coverted subjects had no care in the world about Kemet after their arabization.

Jari is right there were secular, liberal and tolerant muslim states in the past like Moorish Spain, the Moghul of India rule by Akbar(Akbar tolerated all religion and India and treated them equaly) etc, but muslim still go back to their fanatical and violent way.

Egypt had a chance to rebound after the thousand years Roman colonisation but the invasion of fanatical muslim from the Arab desert put an end to Egypt hope.

The muslim of Egypt were so fanatical and backward that it took the French Napoleon invasion of Egypt to open the ancient civilisation of Egypt to the world or help the world rediscover Ancient Egypt. The muslim were seating one the Egyptian ruine for a thousand years and didnt do any research on them.

The Mosque of Abu Haggag

 -


 -


 -


The Mosque of Abu el Hagag (Abu'l Haggag).
Built on, or rather, in the first court of Rameses II's temple at Luxor.


 -



NOTE THE NONSENSE LIES THE ALBINOS TELL TO COVER THEIR MULATTOES.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Wiki:

Although its positioning atop the pharaonic columns seems both precarious and invasive, the Mosque of Abu Haggag (or Abu l-Haggag) must be seen as more than just a coincidental intruder. First, when the mosque was built, large parts of the temple were covered with earth. Secondly, it is not uncommon for a religious kinship between ancient Egyptian cult places and the local version of popular Islam to be recreated. When the pharaonic temple was unearthed in the late 19th century, locals fiercely resisted any attempt to tear down the mosque. For them, the geographical position was important, and a new mosque also dedicated to Abu Haggag has never become very popular.

Abu Haggag was a Sufi shaykh, born in Baghdad, but he spent the latter half of his 90 years in Luxor. He died here in 1243, but it is believed that the minaret is older than he was, dating back to the 11th century. The mosque itself has been rebuilt many times, and completely in the 19th century. Abu Haggag is Luxor's main saint, and his mosque is the core of local religious activities. Locals believe that his mosque is a particularly important religious spot, full of baraka, divine blessing.

When Shaikh Abu El Haggag came to Luxor, Islam at the time was not the major religion in Egypt; Coptic Christianity was the leading religion at the time. The city was a colony owned by a religious Coptic lady. She used to be called The Princess. Her soldiers saw Sheikh Abu El Haggag there and was immediately recognized as a foreigner, therefore he was taken to the Princess for questioning as they feared that he is a spy from a different tribe/region. He complained to her about the treatment he received and expressed that he wishes to become a local citizen. The lady was generous and offered him to stay as long as he wishes. He asked her to give him a land as big as a camel’s skin to sleep on it, she thought that would be maximum of 2 square meters, so she agreed as she was a generous Lady, he asked her to sign a contract confirming the deal which she agreed to.

At night, he took a camel’s skin and he cut it into a very thin line at the front of some local witnesses, something similar to a very thin washing line, he used it to border a big part of Luxor Temple. In the morning, soldiers saw this line and reported it to the Princess, and then she realised that he owns this bordered part of the temple as per their written agreement. As much as she was feeling deceived by his plan, they met few times afterwards, she was impressed by his knowledge and then she converted to Islam.

At the time, there was a church in the place of the mosque. Shaikh Abu El Haggag agreed with the princess to convert the building to a mosque, which stands till today. In the upper ground foundation the old part of the church, which is clear that it is not a part of the temple, can still be seen.

Lots of people claimed that he became a monk and was given a power to practice miracles, such as walking on water, healing rare diseases, and even people see him in the pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia while others sees him at the same time in Luxor. When he died he was buried in the mosque.

Usually religious imperialists like Muslims and Christians don't like that most ancient great civilizations were NOT based on their sacro-saint muhammed or christ but based on ancestral religion.

Green Saharan civilization = ancestral religion
Kush civilization = ancestral religion
Ancient Egypt = ancestral religion
Chinese empire = ancestral religion
Mayan civilization = ancestral religion
Olmec civilization = ancestral religion
Great Zimbabwe/Khami civilization = ancestral religion
Ancient Greek civilization = ancestral religion
Ancient Roman = ancestral religion

Abrahimic religions actually slowed down progress with their backward thinking based on a fixed book writings. In Europe, Christians destroyed what Ancient Greeks particularly and Romans started only to led Europe to the horrible middle ages . Only European distancing themselves from christianity in favor of a more scientific/natural view of life led Europe through the Renaissance (although Christianity wasn't completely rejected at that time like it is now). Even then, saying the earth was round or not at the center of the universe was once anti-christ. Scientific thinking, heresy. The real scientific basis of Europe is in Ancient Greece.

In ancestral religion thinking every people on earth have their own path to god through their ancestors. They are not intolerant of each people religions. At first, they didn't see anything wrong in christianity and islam because they were just another religion from other people. Another cult. Little they know those people wanted to religiously colonize us and eliminate and any other religions on earth (including each others of course). If they knew that they probably would have viewed those imperialist intolerant religions differently right from the start.

^ Such acts were not committed because of Christianity but because of European greed and supremacy. Sure some proponents used Christianity as an excuse but it really wasn't. Look what Italy did to Ethiopia even though it was a Christian nation. Look at how blacks in the Americas were treated even though they were fellow Christians.

do you practice ancestral veneration rituals?


I don't know if it's proper to call things like Greek or Egyptian religions "ancestral religions"

wiki

An ethnoreligious group (or ethno-religious group) is an ethnic group of people whose members are also unified by a common religious background. Ethnoreligious communities define their ethnic identity neither exclusively by ancestral heritage nor simply by religious affiliation, but often through a combination of both[citation needed] (a long shared history; a cultural tradition of its own; either a common geographical origin, or descent from a small number of common ancestors; a common language, not necessarily peculiar to the group; a common literature peculiar to the group; a common religion different from that of neighbouring groups; being a minority or being an oppressed or a dominant group within a larger community).

Examples of ethnic groups defined by ancestral religions are the Jews, the Druze of the Levant, the Copts of Egypt, the Yazidi of northern Iraq, the Zoroastrians of Iran and India, and the Serer of Senegal, the Gambia and Mauritania.

_____________________________________

I think when you say "ancestral realions" you mean ancestor veneration (some call it ancestor worship)

"Ancestral Religion" is just a religion that is passed on based ancestral heritage (as described above)

Veneration of the Dead is based on the belief that the deceased, often family members have a continued existence and/or possess the ability to influence the fortune of the living. Some groups venerate their ancestors; some faith communities, in particular the Catholic Church, venerate saints as intercessors with God.

Ancestor veneration is very prevalent throughout Africa and serves as the basis of many religions. It is often augmented by a belief in a supreme being, but prayers and/or sacrifices are usually offered to the ancestors who may ascend to becoming minor deities themselves. Ancestor veneration remains among many Africans, sometimes practiced alongside the later adopted religions of Christianity (as in Nigeria among the Igbo people) and Islam (among the different Mandé peoples and the Bamum) in much of the continent.

Ancestral veneration in some cultures (such as Chinese) (敬祖, pinyin: jìngzǔ), as well as ancestor worship (拜祖, pinyin: bàizǔ), seeks to honor and reminiscence the actions of the deceased; the ultimate homage to the dead. The importance of paying respect to parents (and elders) lies with the fact that all physical bodily aspects of one's being were created by one's parents, who continued to tend to one's well-being until one is on firm footings. The respect and the homage to parents, is to return this gracious deed to them in life and after, the ultimate homage. The shi (尸; "corpse, personator") was a Zhou Dynasty (1045 BCE-256 BCE) sacrificial representative of a dead relative. During a shi ceremony, the ancestral spirit supposedly would enter the personator, who would eat and drink sacrificial offerings and convey spiritual messages.

________________________________________________

Ancestral Veneration/Worship can be the basis of a religion but because the veneration of worship of one's personal relatives is practiced in rituals it does not mean that the religion is an "Ancestral religion". The Ancestral Veneration/Worship is sometimes something practiced alongside a religion that has various gods and deities which are not considered ancestors.

Only in certain religions are one's ancestors that are venerated/ worshiped the same as gods/deities that are also worshiped

It depends on what you mean by backward and slowing down progress. For example there are various polytheistic religions but they are not necessarily "progressive" or "not backward"
Religious tolerance assume you have a state large enough to tolerate various relious practices with in it. The basic aspect of Abrahamic religion and Zorastrianism is montheism.
African religions are widely varied. Some have a supreme creator god but the people more often interatct with other dieties who are part of the creator god's larger pantheon.

The Christian church became an institution in Rome.

Petrarch


Triumph of Christianity by Tommaso Laureti (1530–1602), ceiling painting in the Sala di Constantino, Vatican Palace. Images like this one celebrate the triumph of Christianity over the paganism of Antiquity
The idea of a Dark Age originated with Petrarch in the 1330s. Writing of those who had come before him, he said: "Amidst the errors there shone forth men of genius; no less keen were their eyes, although they were surrounded by darkness and dense gloom". Christian writers, including Petrarch himself,

had long used traditional metaphors of "light versus darkness" to describe "good versus evil". Petrarch was the first to co-opt the metaphor and give it secular meaning by reversing its application. Classical Antiquity, so long considered the "dark" age for its lack of Christianity, was now seen by Petrarch as the age of "light" because of its cultural achievements, while Petrarch's time, allegedly lacking such cultural achievements, was seen as the age of darkness.

As an Italian, Petrarch saw the Roman Empire and the classical period as expressions of Italian greatness. He spent much of his time travelling through Europe rediscovering and republishing classic Latin and Greek texts. He wanted to restore the classical Latin language to its former purity. Humanists saw the preceding 900-year period as a time of stagnation. They saw history unfolding, not along the religious outline of Saint Augustine's Six Ages of the World, but in cultural (or secular) terms through the progressive developments of classical ideals, literature, and art.

Petrarch wrote that history had had two periods: the classic period of the Greeks and Romans, followed by a time of darkness, in which he saw himself as still living. In around 1343, in the conclusion to his epic Africa,

he wrote: "My fate is to live among varied and confusing storms. But for you perhaps, if as I hope and wish you will live long after me, there will follow a better age. This sleep of forgetfulness will not last for ever. When the darkness has been dispersed, our descendants can come again in the former pure radiance."In the 15th century, historians Leonardo Bruni and Flavio Biondo developed a three tier outline of history. They used Petrarch's two ages, plus a modern, "better age", which they believed the world had entered. The term "Middle Ages," in Latin media tempestas (1469) or medium aevum (1604), was later used to describe the period of supposed decline.


Arica is an epic poem in Latin hexameters by the 14th century Italian poet Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca). It tells the story of the Second Punic War, in which the Carthaginian general Hannibal invaded Italy, but Roman forces were eventually victorious after an invasion of north Africa led by Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus, the epic poem's hero.

^^^^ so we see where the idea of dark ages came from. It came from an Italian who wrote a poem glorifying the decadent Roman Empire's imperial conquests in Africa. And as we know the Imperialism of the miltaristic ancient Rome was an inspiration for Hitler who imitated their acrhitecture and ornament.
Petrarch was a devout Catholic.

You seem to be using a segment of muslims (those anonymous and varied ones on youtube and zealots of various times and places) to describe the entire body of muslims. Sounds similar to how eurocentrics use quacks likes Prof. Jeffries to define "afrocentrists" so they can easily "win" the argument.

It should be obvious to anyone who's studied islamic history that much of the deeds and sayings attributed to mohammed are not his. This was just used as justification by various islamic rulers to gain adherence to certain laws they pushed, to support their claims to leadership, or whatever else was useful to their ends. How is this different than in christianity and judaism? Christians made up passages and even whole books in the bible to support their particular doctrine. There are even contradictory deeds and sayings by jesus, depending on who wrote the particular passage of the bible. Since in the case of christianity, the deeds and sayings of jesus replace mohammed as justification to follow certain precepts. Sure, there is no equivalent to the sunnah in christianity but similar made up deeds and sayings used (though to a lesser extent than in islam). Judaism too has a whole lot that is made up in terms of what prophet did what and said what. All 3 holy books of the "abrahamic" religions are filled with contradictions and **** that was made up to justify what the particular author (or authority) wanted to foister on the people. All 3 books have many contributing authors over long periods of time (hence the contradictions) but official religious doctrine gives the false impression that these books are 1 pristine ideology.

You make a good point that officially non-muslims are officially 2nd class citizens in islam but non-jews and non-christians were de facto 2nd class citizens in lands ruled by jews (palestine after the return from captivity, the Hasmonean kingdom, Kazaria, etc.) and christians (all through out europe, and parts of SW asia and N Africa). The degree of "2nd classness" depended upon the vissicitudes of the time, place and leader. So, again, what you describe in islam can be found in the other 2 abrahamic religions.

Also like the christianity and judaism, islam has had to struggle with stifling religious doctrine/authority. Following islam doesn't preclude countries/people from progress (as you seem to suggest). It is simply the matter that europe has won the battle against the religious straight-jacket while most islamic societies have not.

Also, have you thought about the fact that the copts in egypt also didn't care about digging up kemetic temples as you say the muslims didn't? Islam alone is not to blame for egyptian lack of interest in kemet and in fact the lack of interest probably started long before the majority of egypt started to follow Islam.

They saw history unfolding, not along the religious outline of Saint Augustine's Six Ages of the World, but in cultural (or secular) terms through the progressive developments of classical ideals, literature, and art.

Petrarch wrote that history had had two periods: the classic period of the Greeks and Romans, followed by a time of darkness, in which he saw himself as still living. In around 1343, in the conclusion to his epic Africa,

he wrote: "My fate is to live among varied and confusing storms. But for you perhaps, if as I hope and wish you will live long after me, there will follow a better age. This sleep of forgetfulness will not last for ever. When the darkness has been dispersed, our descendants can come again in the former pure radiance."In the 15th century, historians Leonardo Bruni and Flavio Biondo developed a three tier outline of history. They used Petrarch's two ages, plus a modern, "better age", which they believed the world had entered. The term "Middle Ages," in Latin media tempestas (1469) or medium aevum (1604), was later used to describe the period of supposed decline.


Arica is an epic poem in Latin hexameters by the 14th century Italian poet Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca). It tells the story of the Second Punic War, in which the Carthaginian general Hannibal invaded Italy, but Roman forces were eventually victorious after an invasion of north Africa led by Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus, the epic poem's hero.

^^^^ so we see where the idea of dark ages came from. It came from an Italian who wrote a poem glorifying the decadent Roman Empire's imperial conquests in Africa. And as we know the Imperialism of the miltaristic ancient Rome was an inspiration for Hitler who imitated their acrhitecture and ornament.
Petrarch was a devout Catholic.


now let's go on to Roman tolerance:


Roman investigations into early Christianity found it an irreligious, novel, disobedient, even atheistic sub-sect of Judaism: it appeared to deny all forms of religion and was therefore superstitio. By the end of the Imperial era, Nicene Christianity was the one permitted Roman religio; all other cults were heretical or pagan superstitiones.[175]

After the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD, Emperor Nero accused the Christians as convenient scapegoats who were later persecuted and killed. From that point on, Roman official policy towards Christianity tended towards persecution. During the various Imperial crises of the 3rd century, “contemporaries were predisposed to decode any crisis in religious terms”, regardless of their allegiance to particular practices or belief systems. Christianity drew its traditional base of support from the powerless, who seemed to have no religious stake in the well-being of the Roman State, and therefore threatened its existence.[176] The majority of Rome’s elite continued to observe various forms of inclusive Hellenistic monism; Neoplatonism in particular accommodated the miraculous and the ascetic within a traditional Graeco-Roman cultic framework. Christians saw these ungodly practices as a primary cause of economic and political crisis.

In the wake of religious riots in Egypt, the emperor Decius decreed that all subjects of the Empire must actively seek to benefit the state through witnessed and certified sacrifice to "ancestral gods" or suffer a penalty: only Jews were exempt.[177] Decius' edict appealed to whatever common mos maiores might reunite a politically and socially fractured Empire and its multitude of cults; no ancestral gods were specified by name. The fulfillment of sacrificial obligation by loyal subjects would define them and their gods as Roman.[178] Roman oaths of loyalty were traditionally collective; the Decian oath has been interpreted as a design to root out individual subversives and suppress their cults,[179] but apostasy was sought, rather than capital punishment.[180] A year after its due deadline, the edict expired.[181]

Valerian's first religious edict singled out Christianity as a particularly self-interested and subversive foreign cult, outlawed its assemblies and urged Christians to sacrifice to Rome's traditional gods.] His second edict acknowledged a Christian threat to the Imperial system – not yet at its heart but close to it, among Rome’s equites and Senators. Christian apologists interpreted his disgraceful capture and death as divine judgement. The next forty years were peaceful; the Christian church grew stronger and its literature and theology gained a higher social and intellectual profile, due in part to its own search for political toleration and theological coherence.

In 295, a certain Maximilian refused military service; in 298 Marcellus renounced his military oath. Both were executed for treason; both were Christians.[182] At some time around 302, a report of ominous haruspicy in Diocletian's domus and a subsequent (but undated) dictat of placatory sacrifice by the entire military triggered a series of edicts against Christianity.[187] The first (303 AD) "ordered the destruction of church buildings and Christian texts, forbade services to be held, degraded officials who were Christians, re-enslaved imperial freedmen who were Christians, and reduced the legal rights of all Christians... [Physical] or capital punishments were not imposed on them" but soon after, several Christians suspected of attempted arson in the palace were executed.[188] The second edict threatened Christian priests with imprisonment and the third offered them freedom if they performed sacrifice.[189] An edict of 304 enjoined universal sacrifice to traditional gods, in terms that recall the Decian edict.

In some cases and in some places the edicts were strictly enforced: some Christians resisted and were imprisoned or martyred. Others complied. Some local communities were not only pre-dominantly Christian, but powerful and influential; and some provincial authorities were lenient. Diocletian's successor Galerius maintained anti-Christian policy until his deathbed revocation in 311, when he asked Christians to pray for him. "This meant an official recognition of their importance in the religious world of the Roman empire, although one of the tetrarchs, Maximinus Daia, still oppressed Christians in his part of the empire up to 313."

Allah in Muhammads Koran is clearly a Zionist.

Your definition of Zionism is woefully simplistic. Zionism is an extreme form of jewish nationalism that started in the late 1800's. It's aim is to bring all jewish adherents to palestine and form a country for and by jews. It's most cherished tenet is that all jews in the world have the same culture and are descended from judeans and therefore they have a right to the land of "ancient israel" as it was their forefather's. Most of the intellectual proponents of Zionism were not religious jews but they saw the old testament as being historically accurate and used it to claim their right to the land through blood descent.

One can believe in the religious doctrine that palestine is the promised land of the jews and still not be Zionist. For most of the last 2 millennia, the jews had not sought to conquer palestine and claim any land as their birth right, nor had they migrated en masse to palestine. These things are recent phenomena driven by the nationalism of ashkenazic jews in central and eastern europe. There is even a sect of Jews who is vehemently opposed to zionism. Muslims who deny the "jewish promised land" details in islam are either ill-informed and/or close-minded buffoons, but islam or allah as presented by islam is definitely not zionist. Matter of fact, jews before the 1800s were not zionist either.

If you don't mind me pointing out that it doesn't matter who started the business, it matters who's running it now. There are several people who start businesses and then hand it down to their kids and their kids run it through the mud. Are we supposed to look at the parents who started the business and keep doing business with them even though they are not around or are we supposed to go off of what and how the kids are running the business today?

I have to point this out because it doesn't matter how Muhammad was running his religious ideology and what differences there are today. The point is the religion is no good; period. His successors have run it through the mud. To be honest he had slaves, sexing little girls and so forth - so I don't think it was any better then as well.

No one can say much about his deeds/sayings because most of them are made up and were written down at the earliest 200 yrs after his time. My point was to show that authority figures in islamic lands used these supposed deeds to justify their laws and claim to power. I made no defense of mohammed's deeds/sayings because I can't tell what they are.

Here's the thing, when man found (created) god - man began to die. Man began to suppress in the name of god and then man began to kill in the name of god. Man was introduced to an evil called god/allah/yahwe/etc ... and now the end results is a world that is on the verge of self-destruction.

Man fell out of harmony with nature and now they do that which is unnatural. Instead of being at one with nature (Neteru - possible origins of the word nature) man began to imagine these great beings who have never been seen or physical heard. They began to use this as a tool to enslave humanity. Man said only I can hear this god and thus if you don't want his punishment you must follow me because this god talk directly to me and if you don't he will condemn you to burn forever. FEAR became the power when humanity rejected nature and fear is the most destruct force in our realm of understanding - which is why we are now at the brink of self-destruction.

Religious ideology did not come to save humanity but to destroy humanity - Jesus himself said he has not come to bring peace but a sword aka war (Matthew 10:34).

I find it most intriguing when I hear those who try to justify religious ideologies which is unnatural and reject 'the natural' calling it evil. I'm sure you can tell that I am fully against religion(s) but am a naturalist (animism/ancestral traditionalist) which is to say "one with nature" (etymology dictionary - look up the meaning of the actual word 'nature').

Why do people speak of Muhammad, Jesus, Buddha, Zoroaster, Krishna, Yahweh, etc ... but neglect to speak of self? It would seem as a natural thought that if you are constantly looking outside of yourself for answer you will never see your true answer which is inside of you - hence - the most ancient of teachings "Know ones self/Know thyself". If you don't go within then you will always go without!

Don't take what I wrote as a person strike at you - I was reading what you wrote and that point stood out more than any other point. Again - I'm not into the whole religious thing which is why I pinpointed that specific quote. Everything else seems like useless info because people are compelled to believe what they will regardless of whether you are telling the truth or not. I mean it was a good read though - Thumbs up.

This is such a lame excuse. Many of the Hadiths were stories around that Muslims knew about before they were recorded and many customs Muhammadans follow COME From these very Hadiths. Funny how after a thousand some off of years of Hadiths being pushed suddenly Muslims are questioning their Validity? Really, then stop wearing the Hijab and Nikab, Get out of Jerusalem, Tear down Dome of the Rock, etc. etc. Without the Hadiths Islam would fall apart.

How is this different than in christianity and judaism? Christians made up passages and even whole books in the bible to support their particular doctrine.
Show me where any of these Gospels tell Christians to Follow the Actions of Jesus when he was alive? To follow and venerate what he ate, what he kissed, who he married, what he liked, what he hated etc. Show me the Law in Christianity off of these Gospels.

Also who gives a flying **** about Christianity, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ISLAM, Got a problem With Christianity make a thread, why everytime Islam is bought up you Muhammadans and/or Muhammadan apologists point fingers at others. Own up to your own depravity stupidity and backwardness.

Yeah so then what is your point.

Judaism too has a whole lot that is made up in terms of what prophet did what and said what. All 3 holy books of the "abrahamic" religions are filled with contradictions and **** that was made up to justify what the particular author (or authority) wanted to foister on the people. All 3 books have many contributing authors over long periods of time (hence the contradictions) but official religious doctrine gives the false impression that these books are 1 pristine ideology.
Yeah but only ONE of them is currently trying to push their Garbage Religious Law in our Secular Democracies. If you wanna follow Sharia, take your ass to an Islamic Country, we don't want or need you in the west.

You make a good point that officially non-muslims are officially 2nd class citizens in islam but non-jews and non-christians were de facto 2nd class citizens in lands ruled by jews (palestine after the return from captivity, the Hasmonean kingdom, Kazaria, etc.) and christians (all through out europe, and parts of SW asia and N Africa). The degree of "2nd classness" depended upon the vissicitudes of the time, place and leader. So, again, what you describe in islam can be found in the other 2 abrahamic religions.
Show many Any Judaic Law or Christian Law or Text that told people to Fight non-Belevers until they payed a Fucking Tax to survive unharmed in their own lands. Show me where Christians or Jews or anyone for that matter does the **** Muslims do, Killing anyone who would dare build Cathedral, Synagog or PAgan Temple in their lands but building the Largest most Grand Mosques in our lands.

As bad as Christians were and Jews they allowed others way more rights than Muslims ever did or ever will. Islam is the most intolerant of all the 3 religions.

Also like the christianity and judaism, islam has had to struggle with stifling religious doctrine/authority. Following islam doesn't preclude countries/people from progress (as you seem to suggest).
Really??

Egypt-3,000 Plus yrs of Progress, scientific, Architectural, and Philosophical thought. Every Ancient Source speaks of the Wisdom of Egypt etc. Even during the Coptic/Roman Occupation Egypt is the center of learning.

Egypt Under Islam-Modern Egypt. Poverty Stricken, Rual, Backward and steeped in the stupidity of Sharia, MAdrassa Ranting and Chanting, and the Ranting and Chanting of Alazhar AKA Fatwa University.

Persia-The Light of the Middle East. Architectural, Mathmatical, etc. Leader, Persia's Sophistication too vast to name.

Of course my def. of Zionism is "simplistic" as you say, considering Zionism as a political movement is a modern one, but thats the point the very CORE of Zionism is as you say "Jewish Nationalism" or more important that the Jews as a Chosen people over others, and the Historical Right of Israel to the Jews in Modern Times.

The Koran fits BOTH criteria as Allah says Israel is the Jews even in the "Last Days" and they are chosen over the Alamin.

Maybe you have another name for Allah's beliefs and can tell me it, but Zionist seems to fit IMO.

And then you mention that right-wing paranoia about having sharia law in the west.

The copts language was heavily greacianized though based on AE. And they still consider greeks their kin which is why the greek flag was flying at the church in coptic cairo when i went there. And the jewish egyptians who converted to judaism didn't care too much about digging up the ancient glories of kmt either. They're busy in israel now claiming to be descendants of judaeans and view euro ashkenazi as their kin instead of other egyptians. What can i say? People, their loyalties and sense of origin change with time but it's easier for you to just say it's all islam's fault.
And it's laughable that you say Rome (italy) and greece are still leaders in the world cuz not many ppl share that belief. Italy and greece have been looked down upon in europe since the 18th or 19th century so i dont know what you're talking about. And china isn't leading anything either (they're still on the come up, but good try though). And what about india? Why haven't they become "leaders" yet despite no islamic rule for generations? And why is malaysia doing well despite being overwhelmingly muslim, especially in the government?

I was trying to have a civil convo with you but obviously you prefer polemics instead of reasoned debate. So keep on debasing ES with the clowns and trolls that frequent here.

the lioness,

Ancestral religions = Traditional religions. The religion passed from fathers to sons, from mothers to daughters since the beginning of time. There's surprisingly (or not) a lot of similarities between ancestral religions of Japanese people (Shinto), Native Americans, Ancient Egyptians and traditional African religions. My goal is not to convert anybody just spread academic knowledge about them. None of those religions are proselytizing anyway since they are passed from parents to children, from the communities to its young members.

And it's laughable that you say Rome (italy) and greece are still leaders in the world cuz not many ppl share that belief. Italy and greece have been looked down upon in europe since the 18th or 19th century so i dont know what you're talking about.
LOL, Do you even KNOW What the Renaissance was and where it took place? Are You kidding me..?? Europe would be **** without Italy and Italians. It was Issac Newton and the discovery of the Steam Engine that Shifted the power and Intellicial sway away from Southern Europe to the North West. No serious person would say Italy was not VITAL in the Reemergence of Europe and the Secularization of Europe.

Greece's power/Intelligencia was shifted to Byzantium which was overcame by Muhammadan Turks and even Greece had to struggle against the Turks. Yet Greece is no where near the Ass Backward Stupidity found in Muslim Lands. The only Islamic Countries that came close to being modern was/is Secular Lybia and Turkey. Lybia under Secularization had Modern Healthcare reform, Education, Sanitation etc. and was the most Rich State in Africa/Arab World next to South Africa(In the Case of Africa) and the Oil Rich Saudi Arabia. Turkey the same. I mean really how can you sit up with a straight face and pretend the Ranting stupidity of the Mullahs and Iyyotolah(SP) have not Keep Islamic States in the Dark of Ignorance.

As a Matter of Fact Read about what Attaturk Said/Felt about Muhammad and Islam and Come back to me.

What did the Arabs/Islam bring to Malaysia..?? Who Brought the Modern Infrastucture, Modern Sanitation, Modern Bis. and Trade Policies and Economics? The Arabs/Muslims or the British? BTW Malaysia is no where NEAR being the Leader in anything, esp. when compared to India and China. Its just Industrialized. Also Malyasia is not an Islamic State. I said it before and Ill say it again, the only way for Islamic States to get out of the gutter of the 7th century is to follow Turkey or Lybia's example and embrace Secularism. If they want to have their stupid Sharia Courts then seperate that sh@t from the Federal Judiciary. Malaysia your Prime Example of an Islamic State has done this.

Let me say that Islam is an evil faith with women and children taking the brunt of that false prophet mhammad.

Hear is an Ayatollah Kohpmeni and book of disigusting perversions Read and Under stand:


The Ayatollah Khomeini’s Book: Sex with Children and Animals


A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However, he should not penetrate vaginally, but sodomising the child is acceptable. If a man does penetrate and damage the child then, he should be responsible for her subsistence all her life. This girl will not count as one of his four permanent wives and the man will not be eligible to marry the girl’s sister… It is better for a girl to marry at such a time when she would begin menstruation at her husband’s house, rather than her father’s home. Any father marrying his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven. ["Tahrirolvasyleh", fourth edition, Qom, Iran, 1990]


A man can have sex with animals such as sheep, cows, camels and so on. However, he should kill the animal after he has his orgasm. He should not sell the meat to the people in his own village, but selling the meat to a neighbouring village is reasonable.


It is not illegal for an adult male to ‘thigh’ or enjoy a young girl who is still in the age of weaning; meaning to place his penis between her thighs, and to kiss her. ["The Little Green Book"]


Paedophilia legal in Iran

In June, 2002 Iranian authorities approved a law raising the age at which girls can marry without parental consent from 9 to 13. The elected legislature actually passed the bill in 2000, but the “Guardian Council”, a 12-man body of conservative clerics, vetoed it as contradicting Islamic Sharia law. Iran’s clerical establishment insists that the marriage of young girls is a means to combat immorality. The Expediency Council, which arbitrates between the elected parliament and the theocratic Guardian Council, timidly passed the measure. The law however does not change the age at which children can get married (nine for girls and 14 for boys), but says that girls below the age of 13 and boys younger than 15 need their parents’ permission and the approval of a “Righteous Court.” Reformists state that the new law does not protect children, since most of those who marry at such a young age do so by force.

That's just the beginning. Islam claims that Majority of women are in hell for not having sex with Husbands. How can any sane person defend such filth?

Islam and Muhammad's deprave hatred of women is worse than that..

quote:
... I have not seen anyone with a greater deficiency in intelligence and religion than you. A prudent and reasonable man can be led astray b y some of you." The women asked , "O Allah's Apostle! What is the defect in our intelligence and our religion?" He told them, "Is the testimony of two women not equal to that of one man?" They affirmed this. He said, "This is the defect in her intelligence. Is it not true that a woman is not allowed to pray or fast during her menstruation?" The women affirmed this. He said, "This is the defect in her religion."
-Hadith 1.6.301 of Bukhari

quote:
“Before my time facts were mentioned that cancel prayers. They said, "Prayers are cancelled by a dog, a donkey, and a woman (when they are passing in front of people engaged in prayers)." I said, "You have turned us (the women) into dogs. I saw the Prophet in prayer while I was lying in bed between him and the Qibla (direction of Mecca). When I needed something I slipped away since I did not want to pass in front of his face."
Hadith 1.9.490 of Bukhari

How many in here has heard of the Farhud in Baghdad or the Holocaust of the Balkans being engineered by the Khalifa the Grand Mufti of Palestine who was a partner of Adolf Hitler?? Does anyone know that Hitler's book Mein Kampf was a popular book in the Arab world and still is in parts of the Islamic world??

I said College is a waste of time due to the Debt. For Example, you end up with High Debt. while Job chances and pay remains low or stagnant, thus ususing College to get into the Middle Class is not a sure thing, hence the waste of time.

College can be useful in teaching you skills but the debt. is a problem.

and I said "Eventually" meaning a Bach. is what I will hold until I get my career underway.

Its not my fault to do anything of importance you need a college(Masters) degree.

Also most of my other more immediate goals have nothing to do with furthering my education.

LOL Dumb b|tch does will not (cannot) acknowledge that what I said was no strawman but the very point of my argument. A lot of what the Euros did had NOTHING to do with Christianity or Christ himself but their own political/cultural ideology. This is different from Muslims who by and large have no political or cultural ideology based on views of 'race' but rather on dar al Islam vs. dar al harb i.e. House of Islam vs. House of War (Kuffar).

European Christianity was a very violent religion.Roman Emperor Constantine turned Christianity into a violent religion.After Christianity was declared the official religion of the Roman Empire Christian priest and the Roman army genocided thousands of Pagan and destroyed Pagan Temple and libraries.

Pope Nicholas V papal bull authorised the Portuguese and Spanish to destroyed Africa and enslaved African.The Papacy divided the world between Portugal and Spain therefore was responsible for the genocide of the native American.Native American who refused to convert was burned alive by the Priest.Some piest were slave owners and plantation owners.

One of the European crusading army who conquered Jerusalem massacred all the city inhabitants muslim, Jew, Christian.There were war of religion between Catholic and Orthodox Christian between Coptic and Orthodox Christian in Egypt.Christianity would not have stop Catholic Italian for invading and massacring Coptic Ethiopian.

You cant blame European greed, racism and imperialism for colonial crimes and not blame European Christianity. The Papal State Catholic Church was the power behind the European monarchy and the Pope authorised and blessed Euro crusade, Cathar genocide, colonialism and imperialism.The muslim violence and intolerance are probably imitation of the Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church created by Emp Constantine.There are solid theory that the Catholic church or the Syrian Orthodox Church created Islam and that Mohamed(meanig worthy one a title for Jesus) never existed.The story in the Koran are the stories of the first Caliphs(Abd al Malik one of them)under the name/title of Mohammed/worthy one.

Djehuti you can check Acharya S website for a list of Christian massmurders, tortures and inquisitions.Gnostic Christianity of Egypt wasnt violent but when literalise by Constantine it became a weapon of power and wealth until today.

Islam and Christianity are both imperialist religions born of the same Abrahamic stem (inspired by the Jewish fate) intolerant of other people's religions which are viewed as wrong, pagans,idols, etc.

That's not the case with Ancestral Religions in Africa and around the world. They are not proselytizing and they believe every people on earth have their own path to god through their ancestors. They are not intolerant of each people religions. At first, they didn't see anything wrong in christianity and islam because they were just another religion from other people. Another cult. In fact, a great many still do with syncretism widespread in Africa. Little did they know those people wanted to religiously colonize us and eliminate any other religions on earth (including each others -islam vs christinity- of course). If they knew that, they probably would have viewed those imperialistic intolerant religions differently right from the start.
 
Posted by Djehuti (Member # 6698) on :
 
^ The Jewish religion is not imperialist, because Judaic religion was suppose to dominate the land of Israel only which historically comprised the much of the Levant. Christianity in it's true form is not imperialist either because there is NOTHING in Christian doctrine to impose the Christian faith. Unlike Judaism there is proselytizing but it's not done through conquest. The Christianity by conquest was something that was done by the Roman Catholic Church which was nothing more than the religious form of the Roman Empire which was imperialistic in its heart. But then you have Islam which has the Shariah which DOES have a doctrine of political domination via the dar ul harb doctrine. These are the major differences in the Abrahamic faiths other than the messiah beliefs. Judaism is not proselytizing, Christianity is but not through force, and Islam is proselytizing through force.

This is interesting.

Discussion in 'Black Spirituality / Religion - General Discussion' started by ShemsiEnTehuti, Sep 18, 2006.

Black Spirituality Religion :The Hebrews were NOT *Black* or even *African*...

I am going to demonstrate how this Biblical "Black Hebrew" nonsense is nothing but distorted history about our Nile Valley ancestors. Therefore, much truth needs to be exposed about our African roots. It is true that most of thewriters of the philosophical texts in the Bible were Kemetic priests (the Biblical Levites); however, that does not mean we should embrace the Bible. For these brothers of ours sided with Asiatic invaders of the Nile Valley, usurped the Kemetic throne and so were expelled from the Black Land for good. This is where their bitter resentment towards Egypt starts, and it is easily picked up from reading the Bible in that it mentions Egypt more than 600 times; half of which are with significant aversion.


The conflict starts with Akhenaten (whom I believe is the Biblical Moses) was a tyrant Pharaoh who tried to force a state religion on Kemet which was probably the first time in history that an aggressive religion (like Hebrewism, Christianity, or Islam) was forcefully imposed on a society. His god was called the Aten, where it transliterates to "Adonai" in Hebrew. This is what Hebrews called Jehovah/Yahweh/YHWH; for it is uncertain why they felt they should not say his real name. Akhenaten built his Aten temples within boundaries of the Amen-Ra temples, hence why Jews, Christians, and Muslims to this day end their prayers with "Amen."


After the country went into near civil war from Akhenaten's tyrannical dictatorship, he was forced to abdicate the throne, flee Egypt, and hide in Sinai with supporting Bedouin tribes, Hebrews(haribu)/Shasu/Midianites, and other nomadic types (which parallels Moses' life). But importantly, his Kemetic support came from the Levites. That's right, the Levites of the Bible were not Hebrews, they were Egyptians designated as the priests over the Israelites (Numbers 1:1-50). This is because after Akhenaten was forced to leave Kemet, he and the Levites then taught the Hebrews everything about their spirituality/religion.

-When a census of all the Israelites was taken in Numbers 1, it explicitly states in Numbers 1:49 that the Levites were not counted among the Israelites, but were designated as priests (1:50).

-Pharaoh Akhenaten's 2 highest officials were Meryre II (High Priest of the Aten) and Panehesy (Chief Servitor of the Aten) at the city of Amarna in Kemet. Is it a coincidence that two of Moses' highest priests were Merari (Egyptian translation of Meryre) in Numbers 3:36 and Phinehas (which is the Egyptian equivalent of Panehesy) in Numbers 25:10-13. Both Meryre II/Merari and Panehesy/Phinehas were Levites (Exodus 6:16-25).

-The Bible makes clear distinctions between the Levites and the Israelites all throughout the Old Testament. One example is Numbers 16 where Korah, the Levite, rebels against Moses and Aaron, along with other Levites. Verse 2 in this chapter makes a clear distinction between the Levites and the Sons of Israel. (Note: it is interesting in verse 1 that one Levite is named "On", which is a Kemetic city where many priests received their training).

Your question now may be, how do I know that the Levites were Egyptians. For starters, Numbers 26:59 tells us that Levi's children were born in Egypt. There was a city named Mallawi in Kemet that translates directly to "Levi City", or "City of the Levites". It is directly across the Nile River from where Pharaoh Akhenaten built his city of Amarna, which is where the high officials Meryre II and Panehesy served.

Interestingly, there are some "Black Jews" all throughout Africa that migrated at some unspecified time centuries ago. I am only going to focus on those in southern Africa known as the Lemba people. The Lemba we know of are the Levites who sided with Akhenaten in Kemet, but were eventually forced to leave given they had forced their religion on the population and caused civil war. These "Black Jews" however, are not decendents of Hebrews, but are descendents of the black Kemetic Levites who migrated to different parts of Africa and southern Asia.

[map of migrations of exiled Levites from Kemet or the "Black Jews"]
 -

Take note that the Levites also travelled to Ethiopia and crossed over to Arabia where there are "Black Jews" today in Ethiopia and Yemen. There is a town known as "Aden" which is the exact transliteration of Akhenaten's god, the Aten. Even the gulf is called the "Gulf of Aden" where these "Black Jews" travelled. Mere coincidence? I think not.


Take a closer look at the map where these Black Jews migrated and you will see a country that has a name that no one has been able to pinpoint where it came from...that is the country of Malawi. Given the periodic absence of written record during African migrations through the continent, the missing "l" is of no consequence...phonetically, the name means the same thing..."city of the Levites". There are many customs that Africans all across the continent have unwittingly carried with them from Kemet through the migrations caused by Arab Muslim jihads/invasions, but that is another topic. However, one piece of culture worth noting is Pharaoh Akhenaten's worship of the Aten with the "dazzling rays of the Aten disk (sun)" compared to the country of Malawi's national flag.

Here is Akhenaten's popular representation of the Aten...
 -


And here's a third of them offering gifts to the Aten...
 -

Now that we have a good look at the Aten, the similarity can easily be seen in the national flag of Malawi where it uses the same imagery of the extended rays of the sun only inverted upon its horizontal axis...
 -


Considering the migrations of the Levite-Lemba people (and Kemetians in general), the linguistic and historical connections with Kemet, the name of the country Malawi itself, and the similarity of imagery with the rays of the sun, could this really be deemed a mere coincidence? Many have made theories as to where the name "Malawi" or the country's flag came from, but they all concede that it is somewhat of a "mystery". It is not much of a mystery when we only study our African history without involving the racist and divisive ideologies of Europeans and Arabs or their second-hand religions.

The last thing I want to cover is the ethnic composition of the Hebrews through the eyes of our Kemetic ancestors. The Lemba people are indigenous Africans who resemble most likely the Levites of ancient Kemet.

However, the illustration below will show the different types of people who were prisoners of war to the Egyptians in crafted tiles, where the 4th one is what the Egyptians called the "habiru" (from Tell el-Amarna tablets) and Shasu. Only the fool-hearted cannot see that the name "Hebrew" is obviously derived from "habiru".

[ethnic tiles of prisoners-of-war in Kemet]
 -


These same Habiru and/or Shasu people are shown in the tombs of Amarna as Akhenaten's mercenaries; therefore, this cannot be denied.

In conclusion, the story in the Bible is just a bitter attempt by the followers of Pharaoh Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV) to erase their ties with Kemet after being exiled from the country for forcing a state religion. The Egyptians were the bringers of light to the uncivilized Hebrews, and now after the centuries of religious divisiveness and racism, our African roots have been terribly obscured where we feel the need to embrace the backwards nature of the resulting Semitic/Arabic/Hebrew/Israelite cultures. African people, that fake Biblical history is not yours...to hell with it!!! Come home to Africa...

"Our parents survived the Middle Passage; only the strong got here and then we lost our name, our culture, our religion, and we are still here. So you may have a momentary victory....but you don't know who we are. We are the children of Shaka Zulu, we are the children of Mary Mcleod Bethune, we are the children of Marcus Garvey, we are the children of Martin Luther King. We'll be here. We were first, and we'll be last, we know who we are!"

_________
Now for some of my views.
I have some disagreements.
One point,i don't think any part of the bible was written by africans or those of african origin but it's clear the bible has african influence and from outside africa.

I DON'T CARE HOW MANY TIMES FOLKS WANT TO SPIN IT.

The bible,islam etc.. are not native african faiths.
Blacks should stick to thier own truly native faiths or just become agnostic or a atheist.
End of story.

Judaism is only imperialistic toward Jewish people, other ethnic groups are considered gentiles, but both Christianity and Islam are true imperialistic religions. Both believe that they are only and true religion and that people practicing other faith are wrong and need to be converted. Historically they both used forces to expand their religions but that's beside the point.

For ancestral religions (from Kemet to Celtics passing by African religions, Shinto, Druids, Ancient Greek, Ancient Romans, Maya, etc), it's normal for any other people to have their own religions. Each people have their own path to God (knowledge of God) through their ancestors.

The old testament is a bit closer to ancestral religions because it is inspired by the most popular religious cults/faith around Israel at the moment it was conceived including ancient indigenous Jewish cults, other cults from the area and maybe some cults from Kemet. But they completely turned it around to mean something else. To exterminate all native Israeli faith to become something else entirely. Fixating it in a book. Then Europeans grabbed the Judaism faith and the "new" Christian cult and made it into something else too (at the end of the Roman empire and turned Europe backward into the horrible middle ages) and Islam made something inspired by Christianity and Judaism.

The real linkage between the old testament and ancestral religions is that the old testament was made for Jewish people who were practicing ancestral religions and created in a way they can transition out of them to follow only this new Judaic cult. So some remnant of ancestral religious thinking of the Jewish people can be found in the old testament. But as I said, it is completely twisted around and made into something else.

The religious thinking in Kemet was not something unique to them. In ancient times and even now there's a lot of similarities between Kemet religions and ancestral Jewish religions, Celtics, Druids, Ancient Greek, Ancient Romans, Shinto, Aztec and Traditional African religions, etc. Personally, I think it only enhance their power and veracity.

If different people from different part of the world have similar seemingly unrelated faith (at least unrelated on this plane), then there's probably something fundamentally true and powerful about it. The greatest ancient civilizations such as Kush, Kemet, Ancient Greek and Ancient Romans were based on them. Renaissance in Europe was inspired by Ancient Greeks and a more scientific/natural world view. Often at odd with the christian churches at the time.

The only thing I think is often lacking about those type of speeches and observations is the fundamental similarities between most major ancestral religions in the world. African religions actually have a lot of similarities with other indigenous religions of the world including Shinto, Celtics, Druids, Ancient Greeks, Romans religions, etc. People who actually have an Ancestral Religions world view actually sees that type of connections. It's not even intellectualism for them, it's just normal than any people (like neighboring families or neighboring ethnic groups in Africa) have their own names for gods, their own deities, their own ancestors they pray to, some different practices and taboo, and knowledge of gods through their ancestors. I could even explain how this worldview is at the source of the so-called syncretism in Africa (they - often illiterate not intellectual people- see christinanity and islam as only another cult, but it's wrong for African to do that because christianity and islam contrary to Ancestral Religions of the world don't view Ancestral religions as a good faith, as good acceptable religions. They view those religions as pagans, idols, infidels, etc. People that needs to be converted. It's a different incompatible worldview).

Firewall discussion on black spirituality is a great post.Judaisme or Atonisme is the religion of tyranical Pharaoh Akhenaton and his Levite priesthood.The Hebrew or Jew in Palestine were exiled Egyptian.Akhenaton and is followers black and semite were expelled from Egypt after trying unsucesfuly to impose his dictatorial religion on the Egyptian.Close to Akhetaten the new capital city of Akhenaton was the city of the Levite priest name Malawi or Mallevi the city of thye Levite.There is a country call Malawi in Southern Africa. I agree The name of the city of Aden sound like the God Aten.(The name of the country of Oman sound like the God Amon and Yemen sound like Yah men)

According to Sigmund Freud, Ahmed Osman, Moustafa Gadalla the biblical Moses was Akhenaton.M Gadalla in his book the Egyptian origin of Christianity show that the two high priests of Akhenaton Merira II, Panehesy have the same name as the high priest of Moses/Moise(Mo Isis, son of Isis)Merari and Phinehas.

The Hebrew or Jew were in majority black people because they were Egyptian religious exiled.According to echos of the Old Darkland by Charles Finch The ancient writers Josephus,Plutarch, Tacitus, Eusebius, Celsus, Diodorus, Strabo described the Hebrew to be descendent of Ethiopian and Egyptian in the time of the Roman Empire.The same book show most of the name in the bible are variation of Egyptian name.After the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman the majority of the Jew that took refuged inside Africa were black.

The word Hebrew in the ancient world described an Egyptian stellar priest and the language of that priesthood.People should not confuse the word Ibaru/Habiru (H=The) meaning Hebrew/the hebrew and Hapiru/apiru meaning nomad.The words Iberia for Spain and Hiberia for Ireland derived from Ibaru.

What people call Judaisme was another name for Egyptian and African.Egypt was a multi ethnic country,some of the Ethnic groups religion and culture look like Christianity other ethnic groups religion and culture look like Judaisme.According to Thomas Wanda rjudaisrael.org most of the name of modern African country, city and region can be found in the bible.

I think Roman Emperor Constantine was the creator of religious imperialism when he created an European form of Christianity in the Nicea conference.All the other form of Christianity was banned in the Roman Empire after Nicea.Constantine created his form of Christianity to empowered and united the Roman Empire who was weakening. Roman Emperor Theodosius banned the ancent religion so call pagan in the Roman Empire, close the temples, universities and burned their libraries.The Roman Catholic Church who is a continuity of the Roman Empire by another form genocided Pagan, heretic ,protestant, Jew, Muslim, Indigenous people etc in the name of religion.Like the Roman Empire the Catholic church conquered or colonised many countries by using the European Kings as proxy.The imperial ROMAN universal religion also enslaved million.Akhenaton was the first creator of an imperialist religion but he failed.The white European Jew are an imperialist people who are dominating the world banking and politic but their religion is not imperialist.

Amunra the ultimate most of the imperialist religion like European Constantine Christianity,Islam, Judaisme are corrupted, literalised and dumb down form of Egyptian/African and Hindu ancestral religion.They didnt reinvented the wheel, they plagiarised the ancient ancestral cosmic and spiritual religion and genocided the ancient priesthood and burned the ancient Temples and libraries.The Imperialist religion didnt bring nothing new to the world.There are hundred of books on comparative religion and Astrotheology(cosmic religion) that show the truth.

Christianity, African Religion and African Medicine
Gordon L. Chavunduka


Early European Christian missionaries tried to destroy African religion and African medicine. Many African traditional religious rites and rituals were regarded as against the Christian faith and morals. It was also believed that African religion promoted the belief in witchcraft and encouraged people to worship their ancestors instead of worshiping God. African medicine was regarded as unscientific and some of its treatment methods were considered anti-Christian. Traditional healers were regarded as heathens because of their participation in African Traditional Religion. Thus, Africans who became Christians were discouraged by the church from taking part in African traditional religious rituals and from consulting traditional healers. This attempt to destroy African religion and medicine has not succeeded. Many African Christians have continued to participate in traditional religious rituals; they have also continued to consult traditional healers. In other words, many African Christians have dual membershipCmembership in the Christian church and membership in African religion.

It is difficult to separate African medicine from African religion. There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, the African general theory of illness is very broad; it includes African theology. In other words, the theory not only attempts to explain illness and disease but also the relations between God and the niverse. The second reason, related to the previous one, is that many traditional healers are also religious leaders and vice versa.

The traditional medical sector has continued to grow despite the attempts by early Christian missionaries and others to suppress it; and it has continued to grow because traditional healers are successful in curing a large number of illnesses. Traditional healers use both scientific and non-scientific or subjective knowledge. Scientific medicines are obtained mainly from plants. Many plant medicines recommended by traditional healers are correct even when judged by modern scientific methods. This empirical knowledge has been developed through trial and error, experimentation and systematic observation over a long period of time. The major sources of non-scientific or subjective knowledge are the various spirits believed to play a part in health. The social and psychological methods of treatment developed from this unscientific base often bring good results.

Participation in traditional religions is increasing. The point that was often made by early Christian leaders that many African religious rites and rituals and many of their cultural practices are against Christian faith and morals is, in fact, not correct. In recent years a number of African scholars have shown that many traditional practices that Christian churches eliminated or tried to eliminate were not, in fact, against Christian faith and morals. African religion does not encourage belief in witchcraft; it merely accepts the fact that witches exist in Africa. Witches are regarded as sinners and it is the duty of religious leaders to talk about witchcraft and to attempt to discourage its practice. African religion does not encourage people to venerate their ancestors instead of worshiping; members of African religion talk to their ancestors but worship God. African religion says, God is for everyone everywhere. God takes very little interest in the day-to-day affairs of individuals. God is not concerned with purely personal affairs but with matters of national and international importance. The ancestral spirits, on the other hand, are concerned with the day-to-day affairs of their descendants. They are the intermediaries between the living and God. People pray to God through their ancestors.

Many Africans who became Christians found it difficult to abandon their religion and medicine completely. Christian conversion was, therefore, shallow; it did not always change the African people's understanding of life and their relationship to their ancestral spirits and God.

The way forward for the Christian church is to examine carefully African religion and medicine and other cultural aspects, with a view to identifying clearly those practices that are not against Christian faith and morals and incorporate them into modern medicine and Christian worship; if possible, the should also try to find a way out of what are considered non-Christian rites and other cultural practices. A few Christian churches are already doing this.

There is a need for dialogue between the leaders of Christian churches and the leaders of African religion and medicine. Unplanned interaction might continue to create new problems, misunderstandings and conflict. The need is for sound and genuine dialogue, involving negotiations whenever necessary.

Prof. Gordon L. Chavunduka is president of the Zimbabwe National Traditional Healers' Association.

Judaism is not imperialistic because it has no doctrine of proselytizing let alone dominating other regions or peoples. The only place Judaism is supposed to be 'supreme' is in the Judaic heartland i.e. Israel. Christianity has a doctrine of proselytizing but only through peaceful means and not by force which is something the Roman Church is guilty of. Islam on the other hand has the doctrine of jihad to spread the faith and the actual Khalifa (empire).

The Almoravids and The Meaning of Jihad

 -

by Ronald Messier

Specialties: Historian, Archaeologist
Ronald Messier is professor emeritus at Middle Tennessee State University and former adjunct professor and senior lecturer at Vanderbilt University, where he taught Islamic history and historical archaeology.


Originally West African, Berber nomads, the Almoravids emerged from what is today Mauritania to rule Morocco, western Algeria, and Muslim Spain. Over the course of the century-long lifespan of the Almoravid dynasty, the concept of jihad evolved through four distinct phases: a struggle for righteousness, a war against pagans in the Sahara to impose their own sense of righteousness, war against "bad" Muslims in Sijilmasa and the rest of the Maghrib, and finally, war against Christian infidels—the Christian kings of Iberia.

The Almoravids and the Meanings of Jihad takes readers through a clear chronology of the dynasty from its birth through its dramatic rise to power, then its decline and eventual collapse. Several important themes in North African history are explored throughout the book, including the dynastic theory of noted Arab historian Ibn Khaldun, the unique relationship of rural and urban lifestyles, the interactions of distinct Berber and Arab identities, and the influence of tribal solidarity and Islam in forming the social fabric of medieval North African society.
This story details the eleventh century rise of camel-borne Muslim warriors in the western Sahara desert. The author claimed that the Almoravids (Berber fundamentalist Muslims) were invited by the Muslim kings of Andalusia to help to defeat invading `reconquista' Christian forces; they liked what they saw, and overextended their welcome by staying. The author noted that the Almoravids saw their military support as an Islamic jihad in protecting Muslim gains over the Spanish Christians

It's also a fact that the concept of a god who died and was resurrected and who offers resurrection or new life to others was also a common mythological motif in many religions prior to Christianity.

Such attacks into West Asia were always retaliatory. Cheikh Anta Diop elaborates on this point in "African Origin of Civilization" in his reference to Pharaoh Amenhotep III--who in retaliation to West Asian attacks pushed far into West Asia in retaliation.

The problem with the early religions is that there were not written down. Whether in Europe proper, the Americas, Australia, and New Zealand.

In Africa there was/is the long-standing religions of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Nubia in civilisations that lasted at least 3,000 years. Their religions were written down and are quite complex and very interesting. It is surprising that Africa has not sought to be more authentic in reviving these long standing metaphysical systems. Instead we have the confounded mimicking of 4th hand cults that are the European versions of Christianity and the Arabs' fanciful and plagiarised versions of Judaism, Old Testament Biblical lore, and other West Asian folk beliefs.

India survived the Islamic onslaught because it's Hinduism was written down and long predated upstart and crude Islam. China with its old wisdom philosophies and Buddhism just couldn't be moved. Places like Indonesia which were weak intellectually fell for the ramblings in the Quran and today Indonesia is a almost fanatical in its posturings over that imported cult.

The truth is that we no longer live in a world of religion. Science, technology, secularism, and practical human ethics based on "absolute human rights" dominate in those countries deemed successful in empathic economics and politics. See the recent Human Development Index put out by the UNDP. It can be easily accessed online.

The top nations in welfare economics and high standard living are all in Europe or North America(the U.S., when adjusted for income disparity was 23rd in 2011 and 16th in 2012). But the key point is that such countries just don't take Christianity seriously. Sunday is for strolling in the parks or sports. They are not into praying at all. And Christmas is just a big capitalist event that has reverted to its Pagan origins of gift-giving and reveling.

Same for Japan and China--2 big economic powers.

Yes, writing down religion can be very important, but it also negates the constant communication we can have with the living dead ancestors, that is we can have with the after-life and thus people closer to God and the other plane. Yes, African religious people must recite by memory ancient knowledge but also some modification are brought into it related to our level of spiritual development (as a society). Ancestral religions are not 100% fixed,let's say they are 99% fixed. For example, at one time, they were no known verse related to iron/metal working, so any "traditional" verse/knowledge about it while attributed to some ancient deity is a novelty. It's important that our religions does not just become some old relics books written down thousands years ago, not related to current realities and level of spiritual development of our societies. Sure 99% of ancient knowledge may still be valid today, but humans are always evolving so our religious knowledge (which we may include in a book, why only rely on memory?). At least, that's my opinion about it is based on other people's opinions and personal academic analysis.

Africans, as well as other people, must take care of not looking at their own ancestral religions through western/abrahamic worldview.

Oh sure it gives people ways of explaining everything that frightens them, but does it ever help them to progress? It would seem to me that Asian religions are far better at sustaining populations that African religions - excluding Egyptian which is the same as Christianity.

@Mike111 Suffice to say I disagree with everything you said. But I don't have to disprove something you haven't proven yourself. Personally, I think it's important to have knowledge of our ancestral religions and languages, while being open to the world, and build on them as our foundation. Integrating different knowledge from around the world into our own society/culture with our own religions and languages as our foundation.

This is what any people around the world, including Asians and Europeans, do. Ancient Greek acquired some mathematical knowledge from Ancient Egypt, Europe acquired writings from outside too, while Asians acquired some modern scientific knowledge from Europe. Nobody has to give up their own religions, culture or languages for it. They built on them as their core foundation. Integrating foreign knowledge into their own culture. Integrating foreign knowledge into our own culture.

Religion is a great institution. religion is timeless. Religion is neutral, Religion in the hand of a good people like the Ancient Egyptian was used to united the different tribes of Egypt, it was used for the law and order call Maat,it was used to educated the elite and it was used to builded a 5000 years old civilization.Religion in the hand of bad people like the Christian Roman/Byzantine was used to created a tyranical governement, it was used to destroyed other religion and forced people to convert, it was used to turned people into ignorant and superstitious people, it was used for conquest of foreign land, it was used in the genocided, murdered and raped of million.

The reason the Western world doesnt take Christianity seriously is because the European Churches are lying to them and are hypocrit.The literalisation of the bible lie did work before the invention of the E media and cheap book.Today we are living in the information age were every curious person can use the internet and buy a book and discover the Astrotheologic and ancient world(so call pagan) origin of Imperialist religion.If the Euro religion told the truth and presente their religion as allegorical, spiritual, cosmological, moral and ritualistic Westerner will care more about it.According to Acharya S Annunaki article The Sumerian told the world their Gods were the planets and their stories were myths.

The believe in God, a Spirit, an Ancester or other invisible higher power is the most powerful force on earth.It is more powerful then money, politic, army, gun, love etc. Karl Marx stated religion is the opium of the people, I think the believe in God is more powerful then drugs because ancient religious martyr choosed to be burned alived and be eated by lion instead of converting.The believe in God or believe in spirits help the believers deal with the evil, devil, satan and problem of society and life.

Science, technology, secularisme, rationalisme,philosophy marxisme, materialisme, money, shopping cant replace the belief in Neter, Spirit and God .Some of them are tools that you use in your life other are material vanity that you will be bored of.The use of illegal drugs and prescription drugs are high in Western countries for a reason.technologicaly advance country like Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan are very Spiritual and religious.

I love my KushiteEgyptian ancester and I love their Spiritual, Cosmic and Maatic religion.

Meena,

You are wrong about the religion in highly advanced technological nations. I know people who have studied in Taiwan for their post-graduate degree and I was told that the Taiwanese are not into any public religion at all. They are tops in computer technology and there is very little social as you find in poor third world nations. The same for Japan and China.

In those countries there is a palpable respect for parents--in theory--but apart from shrines at some homes those Asian nations leave religion to Buddhist monks, etc.

There is a Christian community in South Korea but that has little causal effect on their prowess in electronics and ship building. The Koreans are number 1 in ship-building in the world. Apart from the U.S.-manufactured conflict with North Korea there is little conflict in South Korea.

If what you are saying is true let me ask a simple question. Where is your cell phone manufactured? Where is your computer manufactured? Where is your television manufactured?

Your point about drugs doesn't hold. The U.S. is on the surface a religious nation but the drug intake is very high[no pun intended] compared to secular and very welfare-oriented nations like Sweden and Finland. O.K, Kenyans and Zambians are religious but they are heavy into alcohol. So there is no connection between drug-taking[alcohol is a drug] and secularism.

that if you held a gun to his head and forced him to choose between
Islam and Christianity, he would choose Islam every time....

And the way you talk about Islam is a huge misrepresentation of their
history. Islam improved systems and civilizations. For example,
Al-Andalus was conquered by Muslim Moors, and it became one of the
most peaceful and advanced countries in the world. The people were
allowed to practice any religion they wanted. This is just one
example, however..

Jesus
Language, race and appearance
Jesus grew up in Galilee and much of his ministry took place
there. The languages spoken in Galilee and Judea during the 1st
century AD/CE include the Semitic Aramaic and Hebrew languages as well
as Greek, with Aramaic being the predominant language. Most
scholars agree that during the early part of 1st century AD/CE Aramaic
was the mother tongue of virtually all women in Galilee and
Judae. Most scholars support the theory that Jesus spoke Aramaic
and that he may have also spoken Hebrew and Greek.
James D. G. Dunn states that there is "substantial consensus" that
Jesus gave most of his teachings in Aramaic.
In a review of the state of modern scholarship, Amy-Jill Levine writes
that the entire category of ethnicity is fraught with difficulty.
Beyond recognizing that "Jesus was Jewish", rarely does the
scholarship address what being “Jewish” means. In the New
Testament, written in Koine Greek, Jesus was referred to as an
Ioudaios on three occasions, although he did not refer to himself as
such. These three occasions are by the Biblical Magi in Matthew 2
who referred to Jesus as "basileus ton ioudaion"; by the Samaritan
woman at the well in John 4 when Jesus was travelling out of Judea;
and by the Romans in all four gospels during the Passion who also
used the phrase "basileus ton ioudaion". According to Amy-Jill
Levine, in light of the Holocaust, the Jewishness of Jesus
increasingly has been highlighted.
The New Testament includes no description of the physical appearance
of Jesus before his death and its narrative is generally indifferent
to racial appearances and does not refer to the features of the people
it discusses. The synoptic gospels include the account
of the Transfiguration of Jesus during which he was glorified with
"his face shining as the sun" but do not provide details of his
everyday appearance. The Book of Revelation describes the
features of a glorified Jesus in a vision (1:13–16), but the vision
refers to Jesus in heavenly form, after his death and
resurrection.

By the 19th century theories that Jesus was of Aryan descent, in
particular European, were developed and later appealed to those who
wanted nothing Jewish about Jesus, e.g. Nazi theologians.
These theories usually also include the reasoning that Jesus was Aryan
because Galilee was an Aryan region, but have not gained scholarly
acceptance. By the 20th century, theories had also been
proposed that Jesus was of black African descent, e.g. based on the
argument that Mary his mother was a descendant of black Jews.

Depictions
Despite the lack of biblical references or historical records, for two
millennia a wide range of depictions of Jesus have appeared, often
influenced by cultural settings, political circumstances and
theological contexts. As in other Christian art, the
earliest depictions date to the late 2nd or early 3rd century, and
survivors are primarily found in the Catacombs of Rome.
The Byzantine Iconoclasm acted as a barrier to developments in the
East, but by the 9th century art was permitted again. The
Transfiguration of Jesus was a major theme in the East and every
Eastern Orthodox monk who had trained in icon painting had to prove
his craft by painting an icon of the Transfiguration. The
Renaissance brought forth a number of artists who focused on the
depictions of Jesus and after Giotto, Fra Angelico and others
systematically developed uncluttered images. The Protestant
Reformation brought a revival of aniconism in Christianity, though
total prohibition was atypical, and Protestant objections to images
have tended to reduce since the 16th century, and although large
images are generally avoided, few Protestants now object to book
illustrations depicting Jesus. On the other hand, the use of
depictions of Jesus is advocated by the leaders of denominations such
as Anglicans and Catholics and is a key element of the
doxology of the Eastern Orthodox tradition.

______________
Historical views
Existence
The Christian gospels were written primarily as theological documents
rather than historical chronicles. However, the
question of the existence of Jesus as a historical figure should be
distinguished from discussions about the historicity of specific
episodes in the gospels, the chronology they present, or theological
issues regarding his divinity. A number of historical
non-Christian documents, such as Jewish and Greco-Roman sources, have
been used in historical analyses of the existence of Jesus.

Virtually all scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed and
regard events such as his baptism and his crucifixion as
historical. Robert E. Van Voorst states that the idea
of the non-historicity of the existence of Jesus has always been
controversial, and has consistently failed to convince scholars of
many disciplines, and that classical historians, as well as biblical
scholars now regard it as effectively refuted. Referring to the
theories of non-existence of Jesus, Richard A. Burridge states: "I
have to say that I do not know any respectable critical scholar who
says that any more."

Separate non-Christian sources used to establish the historical
existence of Jesus include the works of 1st century Roman historians
Josephus and Tacitus. Josephus scholar Louis H. Feldman has
stated that "few have doubted the genuineness" of Josephus' reference
to Jesus in Antiquities 20, 9, 1 and it is only disputed by a small
number of scholars. Bart D. Ehrman states that the existence
of Jesus and his crucifixion by the Romans is attested to by a wide
range of sources, including Josephus and Tacitus.

The historical existence of Jesus as a person is a separate issue from
any religious discussions about his divinity, or the theological
issues relating to his nature as man or God. Leading scientific
atheist Richard Dawkins specifically separates the question of the
existence of Jesus from the attribution of supernatural powers to him,
or the accuracy of the Christian gospels. Dawkins does not deny
the existence of Jesus, although he dismisses the reliability of the
gospel accounts. This position is also held by leading critic G.
A. Wells, who used to argue that Jesus never existed, but has since
changed his views and no longer rejects it.

In antiquity, the existence of Jesus was never denied by those who
opposed Christianity and neither pagans nor Jews questioned his
existence. Although in Dialogue with Trypho, the second
century Christian writer Justin Martyr wrote of a discussion about
"Christ" with Trypho, most scholars agree that Trypho is a fictional
character invented by Justin for his literary apologetic
goals. While theological differences existed among
early Christians regarding the nature of Jesus (e.g. monophysitism,
miaphysitism, Docetism, Nestorianism, etc.) these were debates in
Christian theology, not about the historical existence of
Jesus. The Christ myth theory appeared in the 18th and 19th
centuries, and was debated during the 20th century. Supporters of
the Christ myth theory point to the lack of any known written
references to Jesus during his lifetime and the relative scarcity of
non-Christian references to him in the 1st century, and dispute the
veracity of the existing accounts of him.

Since the 20th century scholars such as G. A. Wells, Robert M. Price
and Thomas Brodie have presented various (and at times differing)
arguments to support the Christ myth theory; the most thorough
analysis being by G. A. Wells. But Wells' book Did
Jesus Exist? was criticized by James D.G. Dunn in his book The
Evidence for Jesus. Wells then changed his stance on issue and
accepted that the Q source refers to "a preacher who existed", but
still maintains that the New Testament accounts of the preacher's life
are mostly fiction.Robert Van Voorst and
separately Michael Grant state that biblical scholars and classical
historians now regard theories of non-existence of Jesus as
effectively refuted.

Ancient sources and archeology

Professor Bart Ehrman states that "Jesus almost certainly did exist",
and the arguments from ignorance that there is no physical or
archeological evidence of Jesus nor any writings from him are "not
very good arguments, even though they sound good, as there is no such
evidence of "nearly anyone who lived in the first century".
Professor Teresa Okure states that in a global cultural context the
existence of historical figures (e.g. Plato or Socrates) are
established by the analysis of later references to them rather than by
contemporary relics and remnants. Ehrman states that the view
that Jesus had an immense impact on the society of his day, and hence
one might have expected contemporary accounts of his deeds is not even
close to correct and although Jesus had a large impact on future
generations, his impact on the society of his time was "practically
nil".

In responding to G. A. Wells' previous arguments from silence that the
lack of the contemporary references implies that Jesus did not exist
(Wells no longer adheres to the non-existence hypothesis), Robert
Van Voorst stated that such arguments are "specially perilous" as
every good student of history knows.[286] An example of such argument
is that although Philo criticized the brutality of Pontius Pilate in
Embassy to Gaius (c. 40 AD), he did not name Jesus as an example of
Pilate's cruelty. He adds that a possible explanation is that
Philo never mentions Christians at all, so he had no need to mention
their founder, given that Jewish literature (like early Roman
references) only saw Jesus through Christianity and did not treat him
independently. According to Eusebius (Hist Eccl II.17) Philo may
have become familiar with Christian practices on a subsequent visit to
Rome during the reign of Claudius (41 to 54 AD/CE). In a
broad context, arguments from silence fail unless a fact is known to
the author and is important enough and relevant enough to be mentioned
in the context of a document.

Van Voorst states that the historical interpretation of events was not
an "instant analysis" as in modern society but involved time lags and
Roman sources came to consider Jesus only when the growth of
Christianity came to be seen as a threat to Rome, and given that they
viewed Christianity as a "superstition" they had little interest in
its origins. Timothy Barnes states that at the turn of the first
century, there was only a low level of interest in and awareness of
Christians within the Roman Empire, resulting in the lack of any
discernible mention of them by Roman authors such as Martial and
Juvenal. Louis Feldman states that one reason first century
historian Josephus refers to Jesus in the Antiquities of the Jews
(written c. 93 AD) but not in the Jewish Wars (written c. 75 AD) may
be that in the twenty-year gap between the two works the growth of
Christianity had made it a more important topic.

In the broad historical context, a number of scholars caution against
the use of arguments from ignorance and consider them generally
inconclusive or fallacious, given their reliance on "negative
evidence". Douglas Walton states that arguments from
ignorance can only lead to sound conclusions in cases where we can
assume that our "knowledge-base is complete". Despite the lack of
specific archaeological remnants directly attributed to Jesus, the
21st century has witnessed an increase in scholarly interest in the
integrated use of archaeology as an additional research component in
arriving at a better understanding of the historical background of
Jesus by illuminating the socio-economic and political background of
his age. James Charlesworth states that few modern
scholars now want to overlook the archaeological discoveries that
clarify the nature of life in Galilee and Judea during the time of
Jesus. Jonathan Reed states that chief contribution of
archaeology to the study of the historical Jesus is the reconstruction
of his social world.

As I said the history of Islam is about some Johnny-come-lately[Islam followed Judaism and Christianity in history]desert thug faking to be a messenger from God[LOL. The Rev. Ike would have given him some stiff competition] and starting a cult movement that attracted fanatics. They just started a movement that rampaged across North Africa defiling more-- places like Egypt by their presence

Islam entered places like Persia by force and Egypt also by killings and destruction. The Persians had a strong culture so they managed to save their language and avoided Arabisation on that score.

Whatever cultural goods Islam brings to the world was at the behest of places that had impressive civilisations in the past: Egypt, Persia, Mesopotamia(Iraq), Turkey, etc.

Islam has defiled Africa with its univited presence--just brainwashing and dumbing down a whole lot of naive Africans. Every year they run around looking for hard-earened money to go and genuflect before genetic degenerates in Arabia. Very dumb!.

Christianity ran in as fellow-traveler of European colonalism. Equally useless as Islam but just softer. No Christianised jackass in Africa will be running around BSing about "Christian law" or "Christian law courts". And the Christianised fools will not be itching to chop off hands and heads. And they are not into suicide bombings too as those jackass fake Arabs of Boko Haram. Go and sell suya, it's better.

If any African wants religion just go and take what the AEs left behind. It's more authentic, original, more peaceful, more interesting, and more complex. The Copts of Egypt and Ethiopia have a version of it but it has been bastardised by Christianity.

The dumb arrogance of Arabs in Egpt is despicable--fighting, discriminating against Copts who were there long before the degenerates barged in.

The nile valley faiths like ancient egypt like lamin said and i will add too the nubian faith etc.. and the yoruba,akan faiths etc.. are more complex,peaceful etc.. are the true and only faiths for black africans or those of black african origin.

In About 1540 BC, Egyptian pharaohs reasserted their control over Lower Nubia. Nonetheless, for more than a century Egypt and Kush fought fierce battles. Finally the war ended with the defeat of Kush in about 1460 BC.5 Sometime after 1500 BC the kingdom of Kerma was weakened and the Egyptians succeeded in controling Upper Nubia, and of course Lower Nubia.

I read your great thread and post on Nubia and African cities modern architecture.

On the Hebrew Firewall keep an open mind because classical writers like Tacitus, Eusibius, Diodorus considered the Hebrew to be descendant of Ethiopian and Egyptian therefore black.

There are million of black Hebrew in Africa like the Lemba, the Falasha, part of the Igbo, part of the Yoruba, some Ghanean, some Ugandan that claimed there ancestors come from West Asia.

The Kongo, the Ngala, the Bateke, the Bamileke states they are the original Hebrew who migrated to central/South Africa.One of their greatest proof the so call bantu language they are speaking is close to Hebrew if it is not the original Hebrew.Some of them recreated the state of Judea in Africa.

I believe them but I have to do more research on those African population to trace their migration route from West Asia to Africa. Eurocentric history is alway changing when native population tell their history.A history reader, researcher and student have to keep an open mind.

Atheism or to put it better, "a-religiosity"--in the sense of not paying attention to religion or prayer--works in countries where solutions to human problems are provided by people themselves and people are mature intellectually and morally.

Problems such as health problems, job problems, social problems that result in pervasive crime, wealth problems, education problems, infrastructural problems, etc.

Thus, given the situation in places like Africa, India, South and Central America, etc. atheism will not stand a chance of catching on. First, people will have to realise that the solution to human problems is not prayer or "leaving everything in the hands of God" but solutions provided by the people themselves in rational way.

I can't AGREE.
Mena7 the hebrew thing is not ours,they are not originally of black african origin.

Some of the Lemba have some hebrew dna but that's because hebrews intermarried with some of the population,but the rest do have any hebrew dna,and all are just just converts same thing with many or some of Falashas in ethiopia.The falashas are converts.


Has for the other african groups,i do not believe they are of hebrew origin.

Influences is one thing,being apart of the hebrew group is another.

They are africans,not hebrews,some of those african folks in those AFRICAN groups YOU MENTION maybe had some influences from the hebrews, maybe,just like the hebrews in turn were influence by africans of the nile vally and blacks and other groups in asia.

Somethings in this books was incorrect but alot of things were correct and this is correct.

Now you know were i get my view from on this issue combined with other things i read.


Book
Chancellor-Williams-Destruction-of-Black-Civilization

Organizing a Race for Action
p.357
Algeria, Tunis, Morocco, Syria, Jordan, Iraq and the Holy Land of
Islam saudi Arabia.
Now anyone~ who is even moderately acquainted with the history
of the Arab slave trade for the past two thousand years would know
that, as A result, there are not only millions of mulattoes throughout
the Arab States. but countless thousands of jet·black Africans
whose ancestors were born there also. All speak Arabic, are Muslims,
and consider themselves Arabs for exactly the same reasons-as
emphasized before-that blacks born in the United States consider
themselves Americans. One can very readily understand why those
Negroes who wish to escape Black or African identity are pushing
for an identity of color with their kind in those countries where
they are "white and therefore, in a class distinctly'' superior to the
Still enslaved or subordinated Blacks still living there. And they
have every' right, natural and OtherWise', to follow their own inclinations.

Indeed, the race would experience the joyful relief that comes
with a new birth of freedom if this particular group would stop
trying to operate in both the white and Black worlds, stop Straddling
the fence and get down decisively on the side of its choice. They
will never do this, of course, because they. enjoy the same double
advantage of a most famous ancestor, Leo Africanus who, when
pressed in Rome to say whether he considered himself African or
white, replied that he shifted to whatever side it was expedient to
be on from time to time. "When the Africans are on top, I am an
African," he said. This class of mixed bloods will always be an embarrassing
threat to the other millions who, although also of mixed
blood, are wholly African in spirit and pride. These latter are the
Adam Cayton Powells of the race who are not only' above suspicion,
but are regarded by the Black masses as inseparably their own.

That a "little learning is a dangerous thing" is also indictated
among the relatively few who preach about Jews being a "black
people," Joseph and Mary being "black" and Jesus Christ-also
"black" etc. . A group of American Negroes recently went to
Israel, claiming that they were the "original" Jews, the "Lost Tribe
of Israel," and that, therefore, the Country belonged them. Move
ments of this kind would not deserve even a sentence here if they
were not indicative of the frustrations and confusion, and the
frantic pulling in different directions which further bind the race

in chains difficult to break. They are mental chains as well as
blinders,
Now the confusion about"Black Jews" DERIVES from the same
historic developments which have been explained about white and
Black Arabs---exactly the same'. For we have shown that Jews were
in Africa from the earliest times and that Africans ....·were in Palestine
from the earliest times. And just as the Jews ruled in African
Egypt for several centuries, so have the Africans ruled over Palestine
for several centuries. But, unlike the Arabs, the Jews never engaged
in the general enslavement of Blacks. In cases of warfare either side
might Capture segments of the population to be marched off to
work in the victorious nation, a notable instance being the jewish
captivity in Egypt and their later emancipation and return under
the leadership of Moses. Not only did many Coloured Jews cross
the red Sea with Moses, but doubtless many converted jet-black
Jews such as the wife of the Lawgiver himself. Furthermore, as
in the case of the Arabs, we often confuse race with religion. The
people we call"Jews" indiscriminately are Hebrews by race and
jews by religion. Anyone could be a Jew, but not a Hebrew, The
Hebrews and the Arabs are both while Semitic peoples, and no
number of offsprings by non-Hebrews and non.Arabs, or adherents
to either religion will ever change this absolute fact. After all those
centuries of racial mixing there was nothing unusual about the
appearance of great Coloured leaders in Palestine or anywhere else
in Asia, including from time to time their rise to kingship in Israel,
Syria (Aram). Mesopotamia ETC.

But the white Jews (Hebrews) and white Arabs remain exactly
what they always were--white; and this is why (and who pretends
not to know It?) that there is a racial crisis today in Israel between
the ruling while Jews and the Coloured Jews who have migrated
there from the above mentioned lands. These the Coloured adherents
of Judaism from Arab countries, but who never became
Muslims, It will be going overboard to drown if we follow fanatics
in attempting to "blackize" everything and everybody that suit their
fancy. It is quite useless and unnecessary to try to make either Jesus
christ or the Prophet Mohammad "Black" or even "Coloured."
However, the most important point to be noted in reference to the
American Negro group. the "Lost Tribe of Israel" which landed
there only to be rejected, is that it illustrates dramatically all that

has been presented in these pages about those groups within the
African race that are trying hard to escape from it, seeking their
identity with a white people--any white people. And we have said,
"Let them go!" The only thing we object to, and will fight to the
end, is the attempt to program the whole race again on a march
away from itself or allow them to remain as leaders of the same
people from which they wish to flee.

8. Finally, another major obstacle to unity and progress that is
hardly ever openly discussed ------

This is not entirely true. Religion despite some of the problems it causes also does a lot work to solve society ills. Acts such as charity and community work is perpetuated and furthered by religious institutions. In fact, studies show countries that are more religious tend to produce more selfless people who give more to charity and do more not only for their community but other communities. This is in stark contrast to many 'secular' countries especially in Europe where folks tend to be more selfish and not do as much for others. This is not to say atheists are this way but this goes even for secularists nations where the majority profess a religion.

In my view there has to be a balance between secularism and religiosity. Too much of one or the other spells bad news.

What an idiot!

Charity is NOT selfless, it provides the giver with a sense of superiority - moral and material. It also acts to keep the receiver in need, as it never solves, and never attempts to solve, the base problem.

You know the saying:

Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day.
Teach a man how to fish, he feeds himself for a lifetime.

Advanced societies don't need to give to charity because they try to remove the need for charity - free medical, free education, etc.

On the strictly per capita basis the secular nations of Scandinavia are the biggest charity donors in the world. On a per capita basis they are also the biggest receivers of political and economic refugees.

OK, there NGOs like Christian Aid operating in Africa but their "aid" is politically motivated--geared to reel in converts--and their managers live very plush and comfy lives. Just a way to export some capital and win new friends and converts.

What about Native Americans and Native Canadians on their reservations how do they fit into the religion-charity business?

And we have said, "Let them go!" The only thing we object to, and will fight to the end, is the attempt to program the whole race again on a march away from itself or allow them to remain as leaders of the same people from which they wish to flee.


Note-
Mike maybe is not black at all,who knows,and who really cares,but folks like him should not be allowed to get in the way of black progress and unity.

JHC like many blacks were and still are misinformed about Islam. He has or had no clue about the racist ideas of various Muslim Scholars similar to that of later white Christian Europeans

He has no idea that blacks became the default slave in the East when the Turks and Europeans made a deal to not enslave each other.

He has no idea the contrbution of Muwalladun, that is Christians and Jews in every Muslim Historical Empire, including Andalus, in the sciences and art.

Islam is a deception. JHC and many other blacks are duped.

A black guy • a month ago


I'm trying to find where you quoted John Henrik Clarke... Don't you
know that John Henrik Clarke says that Christianity is the White man's
religion? He is tons harder on Christianity than on Islam. He said

that if you held a gun to his head and forced him to choose between
Islam and Christianity, he would choose Islam every time....

And the way you talk about Islam is a huge misrepresentation of their
history. Islam improved systems and civilizations. For example,
Al-Andalus was conquered by Muslim Moors, and it became one of the
most peaceful and advanced countries in the world. The people were
allowed to practice any religion they wanted. This is just one
example, however..

Oh by the way,Christianity,Islam and Judaism are white created religions and are hebrew centric and arab centric,and no amount of spin is going to change those facts.

Stay in europe mike,nobody needs you.
You can't deal with the facts i posted above so you call names because they hit home mike.

That african scholar is talking about folks like mike,and folks like mike can't deal with the facts.

I was going to give him another dose of the truth,but he just a waste of time.


Clearly mike is not african-centred, and he has been exposed ,and i did my job.


Anyway i had enough of his foolishness so i am moving on.

I know this thread is old, but I just have to intervene on this one post. Firewall, when touching on the “racial” characteristic of regions such as the Middle East in “Ancient” times, you have to be very careful to not view it through the lens of every aspect of the modern world, where the cultures, ethnicities, languages, and also the genetic profile have changed and is continuing to change. The Ancient Hebrews and Ancient/Medieval Arabs were not White nor were they just mostly like their multi-racial descendants. It’s not that simple to state that some were White, some were Black, but the majority were mixed, your dealing with timeframes that occurred differently from one another and not at the same time. In fact, the last population to even be notable for their racial heterogeneity would be indigenous Arabians, who were the last people to experience demographic changes.

Some Quotes from Islamic writers:

“The Zanj say that God did not make them black in order to disfigure them; rather it is their environment that made them so. The best evidence of this is that there are black tribes among the Arabs, such as the Banu Sulaim bin Mansur, and that all the peoples settled in the Harra, besides the Banu Sulaim are black.” Abu Uthman Al-Jahiz of Iraq 9th century A.D.

“The Arabs used to take pride in their brown and black complexion (al-sumra wa al-sawād) and they had a distaste for a white and fair complexion (al-ḥumra wa al-shaqra), and they used to say that such was the complexion of the non-Arabs.” Ibn Abi al-Hadid 13th c. citing the 9th century Al-Mubarrad in Sharh nahj al-balaghah, V:56.

“…the predominant complexion of the Arabs is dark brownish black and that of the non-Arabs is white.” Ibn Mandour (14th Century) Lisaan al-Arab IV:209

Anthropological review on the remains from the city of Lachish

The excavation uncovered a mass of human bones, which was estimated to form the remains of fifteen hundred individuals....Remains of 695 skulls were brought to London by the British expedition...Curiously, the crania indicate a close resemblance to the population of Egypt at this time...'the relationships found suggest that the population of the town in 700 B.C. was entirely, or almost entirely, of Rgyptian origin...' They show further, that the population of Lakish was probably derived from Upper Egypt...If so, this indeed is a conclusion of far-reaching implication.

Keep in mind that classifications such as “Mediterranean” are vague and carries with it many inconsistencies. Phenotypic diversity have no need for “racial” mixture and is a natural phenomenon among many indigenous populations.

For example, here is a Negev Bedouin from the tribe of Jahaleen, in Palestine note that the man carry extremely distinct features and is dark skinned. The man by the way was over 107 years old and the picture was taken in 2014.

I notice in this thread the common error of ascribing too much meaning to the bogus "racial" categories "white" and "black".

Anyone darker than Trump is "black" to some people.

As for the topic, Zionism is not a religious movement! Nor is it religiously based. It is ethnic. It is the national liberation movement of the Jewish people. There are Jews in Israel who are JEWS but religiously Christian, Buddhist, atheist and other things, in addition to Judaic. "Jewish" is an ethnic identity, not a religious marker.

If the Kurds want their territory independent, we cannot reduce this to an "Islamic" tendency. It is an ethnic Kurdish tendency, and likewise Zionism for the Jews.

It isn’t erroneous for people to use “White” or “Black”, in such a basic manner, per se. Just established a appropriate context for those categories, for example my definition for someone who is “Black” is someone who is a undecided subset of Mankind that is “tropically” or “semi-tropically” adapted, independent of any genetic make up or place of origin, while my definition of someone who is “White”, is a variation of Mankind that is also undecided and not limited to your genetic makeup or simply your origin, but unlike my definition for “Black”, only possesses features first defined by the mainstream, which is a contradiction especially since East Asians are phenotypically distinct and fair skinned, along with the complex issue of the one dropped rule, which indicate that anyone with recent “Black” ancestors is deemed Black, which is basically another example of a problematic situation in defining race.

Yes, it is all problematic. By your definition, you're including as "black" people who are not related, simply because they're in the tropics! That is not a coherent group in terms of anything but skin color, which really is a trivial human trait.

This nonsense was first established by Euroimperialists who made up the entire "race" notion, and the notion of "white" and "non-white" simply to rationalize their abuse of non-European peoples. They defined "non-white" as inferior, less civilized, etc., and so oh no the Euros aren't exploiting and robbing people worldwide, they're "civilizing" them.

For us to still use these terms is to validate that Eurocentric error and evil! There is no verifiable separation of the so-called "whites" from the rest of humanity. As you said, there are people just as light as most Europeans in northeastern Eurasia, and so which other criterion do we use in defining "white" people? Skull configurations? By that metric, very dark southern Indians would be "white". And so on...

In the USA I realize we have 2 ethnic groups who've lost most of their ancestral cultures, and so we lump them together as "whites" and "blacks". This distinction was codified in Virginia in the 17th century in order to disrupt solidarity between Euro and Afro-descended workers, and to facilitate the enslavement of the Africans. Prior to that, in the 13 Colonies, there was a time when most of the slaves were "white"!

The fact is, there is no such thing as a "white race" nor a "black race". It's all bull dooky. We're stuck now in the USA calling each other "black" and "white" because the 2 groups have no other ethnic identity, which is pathetic, really.

quote:

“Populations for which the ancient Caucasus genomes are best ancestral approximations include those of the Southern Caucasus and interestingly, South and Central Asia. Western Europe tends to be a mix of early farmers and western/eastern hunter-gatherers while Middle Eastern genomes are described as a mix of early farmers and Africans.

[…]

Caucasus hunter-gatherer contribution to subsequent populations. We next explored the extent to which Bichon and CHG contributed to contemporary populations using outgroup f3(African; modern, ancient) statistics, which measure the shared genetic history between an ancient genome and a modern population since they diverged from an African outgroup.

Discussion

Given their geographic origin, it seems likely that CHG and EF are the descendants of early colonists from Africa who stopped south of the Caucasus, in an area stretching south to the Levant and possibly east towards Central and South Asia. WHG, on the other hand, are likely the descendants of a wave that expanded further into Europe. The separation of these populations is one that stretches back before the Holocene, as indicated by local continuity through the Late Palaeolithic/Mesolithic boundary and deep coalescence estimates, which date to around the LGM and earlier.”
