The fact that you didn't think that Islamic conquest began in the cold war was what I alluded to.

However, there was an extensive period from at least the middle of the 19th century until perhaps the 70s during which Islam remained largely a backward footnote to history...

Because the Turks, among others, kept their boot firmly on the neck of Islam and kept it caged up.

99.8% of the Turks are Muslim, and have been since before Ertuğruloğlu Osman Gazi, the founder of the Ottoman empire was born. He also was a Muslim. This empire was synonymous with the Islamic Caliphate until its final dissolution in 1924. It conquered the entire Christian Byzantine empire.

I seem to recognize everyone but the bottom right guy with the flag, and the top left guy right next to the dalek. Though I think the top left guy might be a green lantern villian? Yellow power ring guy perhaps? Anyone know?

Without claiming extensive knowledge, my understanding was that the Ottoman Empire, although of course muslim in nature, preferred to keep power in the hands of the sultans and their extensive bureaucracy, rather than being a government totally ruled by clerics. Later, with Ataturk and others, the tendency to secular rule accelerated...

Every single one of you is underestimating this guy.

You are wasting your time, what with lefty/liberalism being a mental disorder. They have no facts or reality or science

Absolutely, Dave, because science is such a bastion of conservative thinking and thinkers..

ISIS is not the Otteman empire. It is a terrorist organisation.

I've already acknowledged that. What difference does it make?

You retardedly tried to claim that the west's creation of the breeding ground for ISIS and its terrorism was irrelevant because stuff.

Because it is irrelevant. Nothing, and I mean nothing, justifies Muslim terrorism.

I didn't say it justified it. Bzzzt! Another fail for Seth...

You idiotically try to claim that IS (which stand for "Islamic State") was created by the "west."

Uh no I didn't. The fail is strong in this one.

I think the green lantern guy is the one played by Mark Strong in the movie. So, upper management. Somewhere between Mr Lantern and the weird boss creatures.

I forgot there was that gawd awful movie. It is Sinestro (mark strong). But who is the guy holding the flag bottom right?

CNN did a polling right after Trump's speech.

For viewers, a whopping 57 percent said they had a “very positive” reaction to the speech, while only 24 percent said the speech had a “negative effect.”

Even more incredible for Trump was that 73 percent of viewers said the policies proposed in the speech would move the country in the “right direction,” with only 24 percent saying otherwise.

The speech left 56 percent of viewers saying they are “more likely” to vote for Trump.

You got that totally wrong. Osman I's rule was thoroughly theocratic and strictly run according to the Qur'an and Sharia law. His last testament began with these words:

Son! Be careful about the religious issues before all other duties. The religious precepts build a strong state. Do not give religious duties to careless, faithless and sinful men or to dissipated, indifferent or inexperienced people. And also do not leave the state administrations to such people.

You are wasting your time, what with lefty/liberalism being a mental disorder. They have no facts or reality or science they only know insults and smearing in lieu of arguments. One could forgive the young and naive but for the age of these cucks. Well you are going to have to put it down to being a feeble brained emotional cripple.

Yeah, DaveDodo007 just blew up some more irony meters with that post.

[Animavore]

The problem is that right-wing people often don't get irony. So it's unlikely he'll get it.

[pErvinalia]

It's occurred to me that he might be a parody sock account of an actual lefty. It's hard to believe that anyone under the age of 60, or not a trust fund kid, could be an open conservative let alone one with such "special" views.
