Ain't it amazing how defensive people can get when confronted by the logical conclusions of their own ideology?

After ripping out the hearts, they would place them in a religious statue (like a budda), which contained a 'holy' bowl. Then proceed to eat the raw, warm heart and drink the blood. Nice people.

Waste not. Want not.

(Doing all this from memory, so forgive me if I'm not completely accurate)

Don't worry about it. Few of us can remember that far back.

They don't believe in left hands. If you are so unlucky as to be left handed in an Islamic country, you will be studdering a lot!

"Don't worry about it. Few of us can remember that far back."

Now, you are sounding like my kids! LOL! But seriously, my dad was there.

[MaxwellWolf]

Reminds me of the terrorist Abu Nidal.

The Aztecs had similar religious beliefs. Only they ripped hearts out of living 'infidels' and threw them down the base of their religious monuments. Where are the Aztecs today?

Same place as the Carthaginians, who fought the Romans in four Punic Wars in the centuries before Christ. One great Roman senator, Cicero, always ended his senatorial speeches with "Carthago delenda est!" (Carthage must be destroyed!) The Carthaginians threw babies by the thousands into fires as sacrifices for their "god" Molech, and the Romans detested them as much for this as for their piracy and aggression on the Mediterranean. When the Romans finally defeated Carthage after the last Punic War, they burned it entirely to the ground and sowed salt in what had been one of the most fertile agricultural areas of Northern Africa. Never again.

"When the Romans finally defeated Carthage after the last Punic War, they burned it entirely to the ground and sowed salt in what had been one of the most fertile agricultural areas of Northern Africa. Never again."

Plutarch, touring the ruins a century later recorded that he found charts and records of the Carthagenean trade with people across the Atlantic Ocean.

I knew about the salt, but that's about as far as I can go with that. It's interesting, though, so post some more historical facts.

History is a great tool for knowing the present. The similarities between the Carthaginians, the Aztecs and a score of others to the fundamentalists we are fighting today is very similar in how they treat their people and the 'it's our way or your dead' belief. Eventually the wicked wear out their welcome, so to speak.

But seriously, my dad was there.

Just to prove that Allah is merciful, I'll leave that one alone.

Bin Laden needs to examine the root causes that motivate the Takfirs, and understand that he is to be blamed for their attacks. After all, if the Al Q's weren't stationed in the Sudan, then none of this would have happened. /sarcasm

80 years ago, Ibn Saud's Wahabbis attacked Mosques, slaughtered pilgrims, including at the Great Mosque at Mecca and in Medina. At the last minute, they were persuaded not to destroy Mohammed's grave. Wahabbism is the State Religion of Saudi Arabia. Nothing new here!
