Kinda sez it all - for the 21st Century hip hoppers it means Islam is some Stone Age Shxt!

Thanks

This is worth re-reading periodically.

We need some leaders with vision and balls like this today.

Thanks.

I am not to vain to admit that I was 18 when this movie (Khartoum)came out in 1966. I saw it then and always made a point of seeing it whenever it came out on TV. Unfortunately, since that blubber head Ted Turner took over the American Movie Classic (AMC) channel, movies such as this do not show up on the tube anymore. That is why about two years ago, my son gave me the DVD (wide screen edition). He is about the same age now that I was when the movie was released in 1966. We both enjoy it now. The movie was even favorably reviewed at the time by the grandson of the real Mahdi, Mohammed Ahmed despite some minor inaccuracies.

It was only because of the film "Khartoum" that in the days following 9-11,
that I had a clue when the term "Madhi" came up in the press.
At first I thought, surely the film will get some broadcasts, but then
I came to my senses and remembered that we live in the era of PC censorship.

“Kurds and others rightly don't look upon him like we do after a hundred years of western initiated subjugation.”

Cultural inferiority simply is. Islam societies are inferior to western societies because of the reasons Churchill so clearly summed up in the River War.

“Sure, he saw the cultural problems and dangers, but seeing them the western liberal governments froze out the resolutions that were needed and made the problems of today more fixed in stone.”

Consider the English truism, “The Arab is either at your throat or at your feet. Better he be at your feet.”

The Muslim understands clearly, and responds best to, power and vengeance.

Islam Delenda Est.

I know this is an old thread, but is **this** why Obama returned the Churchill bust to England? Because Churchill was opposed to Islamic tenets?

Yes an old thread worth viewing for those who haven’t seen it.
