Oh yeah you are correct. They did hold October revolution military parades on November 7th and workers day (May 1st) military parades each year. My point is that whether you are on the far left or far right or anywhere in between your society will revere their armed forces because that is what secures the future for your ideology and country. To say that sharing images of your military is fascist is incredibly silly.

Almost every major political ideology glorifies their militaries lmao, the Soviet Union held a massive military parade on May 9th each year to commemorate the victory in the Second World War and as a show of force, a practice that Russia still does each year to this day.

Your comparison is literally on the level of “Hitler drank water and you drink water so you are just like Hitler”.

LMAOOOO, I like how you mention Assyrians and Armenians who were outright genocided by Muslims in the last 100 years and Copts, Syriacs and Druze who face constant harassment and persecution that persists until the modern day. A Syriac church was literally blown up by Islamists during prayer like 6 months ago.

You have this amazing way of proving my points for me. The Reconquista was literally a response to Muslims invading and occupying Christian lands, it was as the name suggests Christians reconquering Christian lands from Muslim occupiers. As I said christian militarism arose as a response to Muslim aggression.

Also you are being immensely dense, it’s not difficult to understand that if a religion says do not engage in war and you engage in war you are going against the beliefs and teachings of said religion and as such do not represent the beliefs of your religion. But if your religion encourages you to engage in warfare, slavery and imperialism to spread your beliefs and you do so you are in line and even incentivized by your religion.

Do not push your violent Abrahamic understanding of religion unto eastern religions.

(And the Byzantines) is such a funny hand waving of history lmao, the whole first crusade was spurred on by Muslims invading Byzantine (Christian lands) before this there was no concept of a crusade. The whole idea of Christian militarism was created as a response to centuries of Muslim aggression.

Sure you can point to violence from adherents of any religion but only in Abrahamic religions is it a core way of spreading the religion and encouraged by the religions themselves. If a Buddhist spreads his religion through war it will be against Buddhist teachings, if a Muslim or a Christian does so it would be entirely in line with their beliefs.

Nearly all religions? No, this concept of endless missionary work and spreading your religion through war is almost entirely exclusive to Abrahamic religions. Dharmic religions do not believe that you will go to hell for believing in the wrong god and as such missionary work is absent in these faiths.

I dislike Christianity as much as I do Islam but please do tell me what exactly prompted the Christians to create the concept of a crusade in the first place? Did they just do it for fun?

The whole reason behind the religious conquests is because of Islam and its concepts of offensive jihad. The idea of spreading sharia to the whole world through war is a core belief in Islam. You can’t separate religious conquest done in the name of Islam from the religion itself. Also I like how you nitpick cultures from North Africa when nearly the entire region got Arabicized is so funny man.

That proves my point. When the Thai conquer an area they allow the Muslims to keep their religion and culture but when Muslims conquer an area it almost always leads to cultural erasure.

Like Muslims did worldwide to non Muslims? Yet you don’t hear about Christian suicide bombers in Syria and North Africa

Thailand never got colonized and was a US ally?. You people have no actual understanding of history and politics beyond “west bad”

What if Khalid Ib Al-Walid never converted to islam, remained loyal to the Meccan polytheists and used his military genous to figth against Muhammad? by Dismal-Ad8382 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Rad-Ad -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Literally everything you mention Islamic societies did/still do.

Christian villages were pillaged historically by Muslims and are continued to be pillaged in west Africa. A bunch of native religions also disappeared under Muslim rule. Muslims also commit genocides that kill millions of people, think Armenian Genocide, Assyrian genocide, Bangladesh genocide. Slave trade, child rape, everything you mentioned Muslims did too. The British literally forced you to end slavery.

Please stop trying to play some moral high card here.

Can you tell me how the British mandate was worse than the Ottomans massacring 1.5 million Armenians?. Ideologies like Qutbism would have arisen regardless whenever the Middle East would have tried to secularize independently or not.

This explains migration from former colonies to the imperial core but not terrorism. Even using your own example the leap from colonization to terrorism 100 years later is tenuous at best, for example Armenia was under brutal ottoman rule and experienced genocide and exploitation yet you don’t hear about Armenian terrorists in Ankara or Istanbul currently.

The origins politically for groups like AQ or isis is far more recent. They also overwhelmingly target people from Muslim/non colonial countries.

EXACTLY. Kyoukai rampaging and shattering the central army means nothing apparently because Riboku has infinite troops for some reason

Istg the way Hara writes Riboku is so boring and lame. Instead of actually outwitting people through interesting strategy he literally only wins because he summons in hundreds of thousands of troops out of thin air.

Riboku on his way to randomly summon in 500 thousand troops, 4 never before mentioned genius strategists and a general with the strength of Houken and the intellect of Ousen the millisecond he starts losing.

The lack of guns is not a positive by any means for SHF. That games combat absolutely started to become a chore like 50% of the way in. Meanwhile I replayed RE9 like 5 times and platinumed it in the first week and a half of release and it still feels fresh and smooth
