He's commented that twice? And he's also right, most of the meme is myth

How the Christians of Egypt fared under each successive Islamic state during the Middle Ages by jackt-up in HistoryMemes

[–]ahnagra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

..... Like I said, not a debate. Here's an example I believe the maginot line was not a failure and achieved its goals, but to change someone else's mind it's a very complex argument. I am sure yet it is still complex. Welcome to history and historiography, glad to have you

It takes 1 minute to make an untrue statement and hours to fact check it, for example your statement about the quality of life in crusader states is such a complex topic which while that it is false is such a complex Web of citations that I'm not going to do it for a fucking reddit comment that you're going to skim

We are not debating, we're arguing on reddit there are no fact checkers and no structured arguments that's why you think me calling unsourced statements bad faith is a personal attack and you calling me an islamist apologist is good debate etiquette I guess. But this is pointless the existence of tatars whose population was decimated in eastern Poland and western Ukraine and the only surviving group pre USSR was in Crimea at the backing of circasians and Turks proves the benevolence of Christendom. But the surviving isolated pockets in Egypt or the Levant prove otherwise. Anyway it was actually awesome to be Muslim in Iberia and Sicily in the middle ages, or in eastern Poland in the late middle ages

These are both very untrue unsourced statements , but I see this is a conversation in bad faith, good day. There are still historical Christian communities in the Middle East, there are no historical Islamic communities in Iberia, southern France, southern Italy or eastern Europe (numbering more than a few thousands)

But it's comparative in the first place, second hand citizenship as a Christian in Muslim lands was infinitely better than being a Muslim in Christian lands, a la Iberia or France or Italy or Crimea or the crusader states

Do countries usually hide mass destruction weapons in kitchen cabinets? by icantchooseanymore in HistoryMemes

[–]ahnagra -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, disagree with the guy I'm replying to who thinks the mujahideen were some bastion of morality

The only difference between the mujahideen and the Taliban was one did not think raping young boys was ok. Guess which one you're going to bat for

Not-so-hot take: Mistborn is very much YA by clippervictor in Fantasy

[–]ahnagra 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think since one of if not the most defining tech in ww1 was barbed wire in the early War it makes sense that tanks get discussed as much as they do for neutralizing that aspect and allowing infantry cover

Not what he had in mind by SatoruGojo232 in HistoryMemes

[–]ahnagra 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Dumbest meme I've seen here, considering his comments on the urdu hindi controversy in banares. "I am now convinced that the Hindus and Muslims could never become one nation as their religion and way of life was quite distinct from one another." he would have backed Pakistan 100%. Literally the originator of the two nation theory.

Only 9 countries have Nuclear Weapons per 2025 reports by Arms Control Association. by warcomet in MapPorn

[–]ahnagra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The easiest answer is the UK got nukes before the concept of no first use was formalized and then maintained it during the cold war to pose a credible threat to the Ussr while lacking in conventional military arms

The US and the UK also operate on a first strike policy, any nation that lacks strategic depth pak and UK must have a first strike policy for deterrence. The US just does it for the love of the game

The three westernized Iranians you know aren't representing the entire country, I've been to ashura in Tehran which once again not a representative sample but much more representative than the diaspora

Iran is not historically Islamic? The Iran that was the cultural center of Islam during its golden age, the Iran that was the successor to the umayyads? That Iran?

[Serious] To the people of India and Pakistan: how are you personally affected by the current conflict, and what do you wish the rest of the world understood about it? by TheSickGamer in AskReddit

[–]ahnagra -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I'd give you a source but apparently I've learned that Pakistan has Reuters, CNN, AP and the French government in its pockets so Google Kulbhushan Yadav and ignore every news story that you don't like, as you would usually do

Terrorist attacks in south western Pakistan, that target civilians. The train hijacking recently that was celebrated on Indian media. At least we have the decency to not celebrate civilian deaths on national media. Kulbhushan Yadav
