History also reveals that until 1000 A.D. the area of Hindu Kush was a full part of Hindu cradle.

‘Hindu Kush’ of the mountain range in Eastern Afganistan means ‘Hindu Slaughter’ or ‘Hindu Killer’

Interesting. I knew virtually nothing of Indian history until this summer when I took a 6 hour taxi tour of New Delhi with a very talkative driver. India is mostly Hindu, but was conquered by Muslims a millennium, or so ago. It and stayed under Muslim control until the British drove them out. It's still mostly Hindu (70% or so) but has a large Muslim minority. The Indian antiquities I mostly herd about (Taj Mahal, for instance) are generally Muslim in origin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu_Kush

Hindu Kush=Hindu killing fields

The mooselimbs killed milions of Hindus.
Those not killed were taked as slaves.

The mooselimbs then pestered the Mongols.
The Mongols formed up and kicked the mooselimbs asses

The Persian-English dictionary[11] indicates that the word ‘koÅ¡’ [kÊ°oʃ] is derived from the verb (’koÅ¡tan’ کشتن [kÊ°oʃˈt̪ʰæn]), meaning to kill. Although the derivation is only a possible one, some authors have proposed the meaning “Kills the Hindu” for “Hindu Kush”, a derivation that is reproduced in Encyclopedia Americana which says that the name Hindu Kush means “kills the Hindu” and is a reminder of the days when Indian slaves from the Indian subcontinent died in the harsh weather typical of the Afghan mountains while being transported to Central Asia.[12] The World Book Encyclopedia states that “the name Kush ... means Death”,[13] while Encyclopædia Britannica says “The name Hindu Kush first appears in 1333 AD in the writings of Ibn Battutah, the medieval Berber traveller, who said the name meant ‘Hindu Killer’, a meaning still given by Afghan mountain dwellers who are traditional enemies of Indian plainsmen.”[14]

I remember someone else who was put to death for blasphemy.
He was hung on a cross.


Exactly right.

The Breitbart site has, apparently, decided that proofreading is out of vogue. More and more, I am seeing in their articles obvious errors like the one you cite.

Your point is correct, but what’s your source material on Mohammad? My understanding is that the Koran was assembled from parts written down after much retelling long after his time, and it originally appeared in multiple versions until an Egyptian printer made a “standard” edition in the 20th century. His “biography” was spun up a century or more after his supposed life and death. Most of the source material comes from reports of purported “sayings”, many of them actually created by lawyers as legal arguments. The Mohammad legend is mostly a fabric of lies that evolved Mohammad into a God-substitute* used to market their new religion and a provide legitimacy for “Islamic” regimes, first under Khalif Abd al-Malik. My point is that describing Mohammad as a prophet, thug, 1st homo, later homo, pedophile, etc., is a leap of faith. Nothing verifiable is known about him.

*Blasphemy is generally understood to be abuse directed at God. For example, Christians and Jews don’t think “using in vain” the names of prophets Isaiah or Moses in vain is blasphemy. The Muslim obsession with those who blaspheme Mo has definite implications about whom they worship.

Yes, it should. It was a “day of rage,” coordinated by all of the mosques.

My source material on the self-proclaimed prophet (profit?) is Islamic writings and tradition. Even by their own estimation, he was not someone civilized people would admire today. He is said to have married his favorite wife, Aisha, when she was six years old, but as a generous and gentle man waited until she was nine to consummate the “marriage”.

He will be our judge.
I trust in Him.

Not easy to turn the other cheek but, I try.
It's much easier to LASH OUT and folks who don't agree with me.

Condemnation of others is even welcomed by some folks around here who seem to have so much hatred in their hearts towards others who don't say "yea and amen" to their anger. They also still claim to be Christians. We are all sinners. I include myself as a sinner.

I DO have a problem with drivers who SEEM to be on a death wish and SEEM to want to take the world and me with them. Sigh. I try.
Snarl.

My take is that people around the world are getting pretty f'n tired of this hateful medieval warrior cult which masquerades as a religion.

There is a reason they end up with brutal dictators as leaders. Obama should not have upset the apple cart in the Middle East with his “Arab Spring.” Now all the apes are loose, doing their thing.
They have committed genocide against Christians.

“...mountain range was deliberately named as ‘Hindu Slaughter’ by the Moslem...”

A detailed article is here:

Hindu Kush means Hindu Slaughter
