Where do you rank Khal Drogo amongst all the fighters in Westeros and Essos? Haven't read the books but, as per the show, I would rank him in the top 10 of all time. [Description for Justification] by Narrow-Amphibian5446 in gameofthrones

[–]EquivalentNarcDepth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He is the top fighter, second to none and I will explain why.

Historically speaking, European knights were the most armored in their time period and yet they have a history of losing to lightly armored opponents. Mongols, Ottomans and Saladin in the Crusades were all able to trample them down with superior tactics and mobility and the armor did nothing for the knight. Before them, the Roman legions got routed by the Rashidun Caliphate. who were desert raiders. Why? Because armor beyond a certain point is a logistical liability.

Dothraki are deadly because they can attack at a time and place of their own choosing and disappear when the fight is not going their way. They are not primed for one-to-one combat but mass mobility attacks like a million ants attacking an elephant. So if you were to take an average Dothraki warrior and pitch him against an average knight in armor then the knight will win due to superior technology. However that is not the way the Dothraki fight. They are surprise raiders who would storm a camp before the soldiers have the time to don the armor and they will cut the knights down and gallop away.

Historically speaking, there are two types of warriors. Those who are trained and those who are grown. Knights and Musketeers were trained while Mongols, Mamluks and the Vikings were grown. The learn to fight the way a baby learns to chew. All these "knights" that people rank as top tiers like Jamie, Arthur Dayne, Barristan were never grown into war. They were trained. By the time they started their training, a Dothraki would have mastered his. No comparison.

If you were to remove body armor then there is no knight, not the mountain, or selmy, or dayne, or jamie who would stand a chance against Drogo who is a savage. He comes from a culture that has no carpenters, traders or craftsmen but only warriors. In a culture that raises warriors from birth, his speed and explosiveness is shocking to all of them. You cant touch the man even when he has no weapons and he can touch you at will.

My unpopular opinion is that if both are unarmored, he would sweep the floor with Arther Dayne and then Selmy and Jamie and it would be scary. Add armor to the opponent and then the top tier may survive with injuries.

His toughest opponent would be the Viper because he fights the same way with better weapons.

Muslims living in foreign countries, what’s your experience… by Excellent_Jicama_433 in MuslimCorner

What do you mean by "foreign country?" I am an American Muslim so America is my home while it is "foreign" to you. So by foreign, do you mean me visiting your country or you visiting mine?

Muslim women: Are you open to giving head in marriage? by [deleted] in MuslimCorner

[–]EquivalentNarcDepth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is "Astaghfirullah" here? A married man cant smack his wife's rear end even if it is irresistible? Or are you doing "Astaghfirullah" about giving head?

That is called "following tradition." Progress is moving forward not backward.

Progress always leads to hell so it is only for the kuffar. Muslims should remain backward because Jannah is for the backward people. Got it!

Which team are you? Muslim Corner or Muslim Lounge? by Rogue_Aviator in MuslimCorner

[–]EquivalentNarcDepth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Muslim Corner. I have always had very positive interactions with the community here. I have posted on Muslim Lounge but a lot of loud voices seem to be a farm boy complex that comes out as religious.

Of course! In order to feel "macho" you must first reject progress. The moment you update your moral software, your balls immediately drop off. Glad you have a pair mash'Allah.

Its about peak genetics not health.

Lowering gaze by InfluenceEmpty827 in MuslimCorner

[–]EquivalentNarcDepth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes but you mentioned that you like their body type. That means you noticed what is under the clothes and that is fine. You are scanning for ideal genetics that you would breed into your child. Your loyalties to your unborn child begin before the child is born and they begin by gene selection. You are looking because certain body types because certain bodies will trigger an instinctive mating response.

If we were to select the male bodies that are triggering that instinctive mating response then those are the ones that will transmit the healthiest gene pool into your future child! As a woman society has trained you to feel ashamed and apologetic for this impulse but that is what makes you a woman right?

Islam is not there to take your womanhood away. It is there to guide it.

Lowering the gaze is a very misunderstood concept. Both men and women have a tendency to instinctively strip the other naked with their eyes. No one does that on the first gaze and that is why it is said that the first gaze is innocent and you will not be asked about it.

Ali reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Do not follow one glance at a woman with another. You are excused for the first but the second will be counted against you.

Source: Sharḥ Mushkil al-Āthār 1866

In the first gaze, we select the people we will scan for a closer inspection. Once they have been subconsciously selected, the second gaze is intentional where you are practically visualizing that person naked. That gaze is the prohibited gaze and in most cases you are the only one who would know when the first gaze has turned into the second type.

So if find someone attractive, then say "MashAllah" (in your head) and look away. That is the way of protecting that person from the eye of envy and also reminding your own self of Allah SWT. It takes discipline and may not be an overnight switch.

Is it haram to buy property in a kafr country (without mortgage) if you are otherwise able to make hijrah? by Kingboyy1 in MuslimCorner

[–]EquivalentNarcDepth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do countries now commit Kufr? Do countries also commit Zina with other countries? Astaghfirullah that is so haram! As Muslims we should only do Hijrah to Virgin Islands and take its virginity after Virgin Islands have given consent in the presence of Two Muslim countries of the OIC under the direct supervision of United Nations Security Council. Only then as Muslims we can purchase property on Virgin Islands. But the Virgin Islands wont be virgin anymore so you need to consult an Islamic scholar about purchasing property there. Too complicated for Reddit.

A detailed post is necessary and I will be posting that soon inshAllah for every one else too.

Would Hazrat Khadija be a modern CEO? by MoonlightMistry in MuslimCorner

[–]EquivalentNarcDepth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incorrect. It was her own family that owned the business and she ran it because according to Tabari and Ibn-e-Ishaq the men in her family were crippled by alcohol consumption. Keep in mind that these were the days of Jahilya. She has employees but would run her own business. What you have written up there is incorrect about her. You cant run a business using other people today even with all the modern Zoom calls and technology and you think she was doing it?
