  1. There is no sense in trying to go back further and further because all you will get is different eras and different problems. The entire history of the Ottoman empire doesn't explain the current conflict or the origins of it.
  2. It seem easy to break down a conflict into simply about Jews and Muslims but it ignores other factors such as the collapse of the Ottoman empire and the British control over parts of the Middle East.
  3. You are putting words in my mouth I never claimed the Palestinians are an ancient people and your immature way of arguing does not help your position neither is your engaging in historical revisionism with claiming the Hajj as being the sole figure to everything Israel and Palestine.
  4. As usual your link does not back up your assertion that Palestinians were invented at the the conference.
  5. It's also the Palestinians land according to the UN. According to the UN the Israelis and Palestinians should share it.
  6. No army just the UN and International Law.
  7. Winning a war does not give Israel free reign over the region unfortunately. So no it can not settle away.
  8. Nobody here is claiming David Suzuki is an expert in climate science. As for the sun and the climate I will bring your attention to this link. https://www.skepticalscience.com/solar-activity-sunspots-global-warming-intermediate.htm Well cited and has good explanations of all the climate arguments.
  9. The person who wrote the study cited in the financial post: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khabibullo_Abdussamatov Astrophysicist. He has no climate science expertise.
  10. Why would I be worried about redneck cross burners? You obviously haven't followed the discussion.
  11. Quite a stretch you are making there calling the KKK a religious group. I never called Islam a race or skin color you are putting words in my mouth.
  12. There is no belief system since the aims of the KKK was to maintain the status quo in the South in the favour of whites.
  13. Not evidence of a system of beliefs. They don't believe they have to pray five times a day, fast during a specific month of a the year or go on pilgrimages. The Klan aimed to terrorize blacks simple as that. The confederate veterans and their supporters didn't want the social situation to change.
  14. The goals being to restore white supremacy in the south.
  15. The KKK didn't have a system of beliefs it had stated goals of preventing blacks from voting and bringing a white supremacy to the south again.
  16. Islam is a religion based on a system of beliefs. The KKK is a social movement started by confederate veterans to stop blacks from voting.
  17. Mindset varies from person to person so calling it the religion seems strange when it's the system of beliefs that make the religion.
  18. None of this really matters other than comparing Islam and the KKK is comparing apples to oranges.
  19. Which says more about the mindset of that person than Islam itself. Does not change what the KKK is and it is a white supremacist movement.
  20. Islam isn't based on the basis of being Arab or middle eastern where as the KKK is based on the basis of being white.
  21. I don't disagree that those countries have their own issues with race and ethnicity but it is still a stretch to compare a religion with a racial movement.
  22. You cannot separate the KKK from it's white supremacist roots by claiming that it was only against northern influence.
  23. The KKK originally was against the freed black slaves and to keep the them from voting. Around the 1920's there was a shift towards Catholics and immigration. It's message is the same however, to keep white rule in the south.
  24. The KKK are white supremacists and Islam is a religion I would say that is a big difference.
  25. So what is this study Joe Oliver cites that says voluntary compliance with COP21 would have no meaningful impact? How did he arrive to the trillion dollar figure it would cost us to implement these policies? It would be nice to see the data not Joe Oliver's opinion.
