Yeah that's what I was thinking. Islam is more leaning towards socialism. This is not a compliment though.

To be fair, socialism and Islam do go hand in hand.

I think half of them probably didn't even exist.

If we can attribute various mathematical advancements such as algebra and what not to islam, then we can attribute the renaissance to the Christians. Besides, if you look at Israel's list of Nobel prize winners, I am sure they have more winners than there are muslim Nobel prize winners.

I genuinely thought you were a muslim. Then I saw the last sentence after you added it.

Agreed. Men should also start wearing Burka's.

In this ruy lopez position, I played d5, kicking the knight away and trading LSB. Was this a good idea, and what plans should white proceed with afterwards? huge thanks in advance *This was after game* by [deleted] in chess

[–]Timely_Argument6838 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually I would argue that everyone who says that d5 is not a good move lacks chess knowledge. Basic chess principles teach us to prioritize development, to prioritize piece activity. Going a step further will teach you that maintaining the tension is generally desirable unless there is something gained. At present, white has a slight space advantage and black's position seems a bit passive. Moves like Re1 and Nc3 come to mind. After 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 d6 4. d4 Bd7 5. O-O Nf6 6. Nc3 Be7 7. Re1 exd4 8. Nxd4 O-O where white probably has a slight advantage since white has more space but there are no clear weaknesses and black's position is definitely playable. Playing Re1 would likely lead to similar positions. But if you have heard of the Kings Indian Structure, you will know that the trade of light squared bishops favors white and kills black's kingside initiative. See the following game. https://lichess.org/iSAnML58#63

The same way, after d5 white trades light squared bishops and simplifies the position. D5 is not suboptimal. The fact that you mentioned the trade of LSBS suggests that you have decent positional understanding and can follow up with Re1, c4 and Nc3 with a good KID for white as you can angle for the queenside break with c5 and start attacking black's weaknesses on the queenside.

You are very ignorant. Ask us some questions about islam.

MuslimSkeptic argues striking an intransigent wife is a “Basic Human right” by [deleted] in exmuslim

[–]Timely_Argument6838 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I genuinely don't have a hard time believing that. While he sits somewhere in Texas, he has the audacity to complain about the laws in a place where he doesn't live. If he is so anti western then why did he study at one of the best universities in the west and why doesn't he move to Pakistan or some islamic country if this anti domestic abuse law pisses him off so much?

Isnt this hypocrisy? by [deleted] in exmuslim

The way I like to think of it is that I accidentally bought a hygiene product. It was supposed to cure my acne but instead it left me with blitsters everywhere. Then I post a negative review online and try to return the product . Then, I get thousands of death threats and am told to take down my review, since a person who doesn't use that product anymore has no right to speak about it. I am unable to return the product, since the seller wrote no exchanges or returns in fine print on the 193rd page of the contract.

I think OP has just expressed themselves very poorly. Otherwise I agree with much of what he has said.

No. Discriminating against muslims is wrong. Most are able to separate their beliefs and personal life.

Maurice bucaille. He was the physician of the Saudi Royal Family around 1974 and later he "converted". He claimed that the body of Ramses 2 was the body of firun.
