The crusades were not as bad an idea as they are portrayed
Betcha an Israeli ambulance arrived first, and the idiot refused to accept it, waiting for the slow-to-arrive "Red Crescent" [i.e., Muslim] ambulance.
Be fair: these dual-use vehicles can be a pain. They had to unload the mortar shells from the back of the ambulance first.
Yeah, that's a problem. They have to take the car bomb out first to make room for the patient.
What is it with hikers?
Or the Ay-Rabb brought a knife to a gunfight.
I suppose the country lying between Corinth and Pittsburg Landing could boast a few inhabitants other than alligators. What manner of people they were it is impossible to say, inasmuch as the fighting dispersed, or possibly exterminated them; perhaps in merely classing them as non-saurian I shall describe them with sufficient particularity and at the same time avert from myself the natural suspicion attaching to a writer who points out to persons who do not know him the peculiarities of persons whom he does not know. One thing, however, I hope I may without offense affirm of these swamp-dwellers - they were pious. To what deity their veneration was given - whether, like the Egyptians, they worshiped the crocodile, or, like other Americans, adored themselves, I do not presume to guess. But whoever, or whatever, may have been the divinity whose ends they shaped, unto Him, or It, they had builded a temple. This humble edifice, centrally situated in the heart of a solitude, and conveniently accessible to the supersylvan crow, had been christened Shiloh Chapel, whence the name of the battle. The fact of a Christian church - assuming it to have been a Christian church - giving name to a wholesale cutting of Christian throats by Christian hands need not be dwelt on here; the frequency of its recurrence in the history of our species has somewhat abated the moral interest that would otherwise attach to it
Someone is stabbed 8,000 mile away, and this is breaking new?
“Pittsburg Landing”. Good one.
As a matter of fact, it IS breaking news.
I did not know there were that many Arabs in Mississippi... or very many Jews either, for that matter.
Good news article and relevant for our times.
Thanks for the post.
The Middle East will be having a profound effect on us all very shortly, I think.
The Crusades were primarily just a counterattack against Imperialist Islam.
Good luck with that. I personally and sick and tired of hearing about all their religious squabbles and how much they all hate each other. It’s become tiresome and very pathetic.
1998, eh?
Looks like you really really hate Perry and have a lot to talk down to FR about.
Who are you supporting next year?
for your review & possible ping.
PS ignore the postings by dragnet 2; trolls are so very annoying
Know what the primary difference between Judaeo-Christian values and Muslim values is? Muslims absolutely WILL NOT allow people to live and let live. They believe it is their duty to their false god to FORCE everyone to convert to Islam or to murder them. And since they know Jews and Christians will not convert, they are happy to murder them.
