As requested by MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation. Directly based off the flag of the Ottoman Empire, and the later Republic of Turkey. Detach by means of large red circle.
@AverroesIndustries Indeed.
@Pilotmario Priceless explanation on fundamentalism.
Yep. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
@Pilotmario gosh these discussions were certainly intense.
@shukurneon I see.
@RMark1 Not needed. But we'll do so.
@RMark1 Well then do it now.
@Pilotmario ohk.
@RMark1 Mmmhm. Well then that's good.
@Makcoink @RMark1 lol
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Well, the revisions were rather minor, and is most possibly related to the fact that the Bible, unlike the Koran, was translated into the local vernacular wherever it was taken. While the Koran was almost exclusively written in Arabic script, the Bible can be found in thousands of languages, spanning dozens of language groups. Some of these languages are no longer used widely, or are functionally extinct.
Ancient biblical texts recovered in various regions are very similar to the modern Bible, and it is possible to know which part of the Bible said texts came from.
@RMark1 I like how they're just talking about religion and stuff and you're just like " we've got a new autopilot"hahaha
@RMark1 Sounds good!
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Religious extremism or religious fundamentalism (the terms are used quite interchangeably), as defined in the West, are groups which denotes an unwavering set of beliefs, and is characterized by:
Strict literalism of specific passages, dogmas, or ideologies,
Making distinctions with those who are not in the group (even those which religious beliefs have been derived from),
Rejection of diversity of opinion,
Emphasis on purity, and a
Desire to return to a previous state which is thought to have strayed from.
We believe that Awwam is an example of a fundamentalist Islamic state, as it literally matches the definition:
Strict literalism (the jizya, initial suppression of Hindus and Buddhists before granting them dhimmi status, and rejection of all other legal systems in the territory other than those dictated by Sharia)
Making distinctions between peoples (referring to the Islamic practices of North African Muslims as inferior due to their extensive service in the Paternian Army and referring to all other nations as "khafji")
Rejection of diversity of opinion (rejecting use of local law and violent suppression of the ARI, contrasting with the integration of True Paternia as a proper political party in Paternia)
Emphasis on purity (Unusually strict implementation of Sharia and Islam)
Desire to return to a previous state (mentioning that almost all previous Muslim governments are not truly Muslim).
North African (specifically, Salish) Muslims do not believe the caliphate represents them because of the aforementioned reasons, having enjoyed prosperity under a secular government. As the Salish government allowed the Paternian military to recruit, train, organize, and operate in and from Salish territory, we actively recruited from said territory. Millions of Salish citizens joined to fight for a nation which they have never visited or even knew of before.
There, they served exceptionally well. Known as the Paternian Army of North Africa, they fought like lions and were led by tigers.
@Pilotmario Indeed Esa (AS) (Jesus) Will rise, to eliminate the Dajjal with the swipe of his sword and to cure Humanity into final Judgement.
@Pilotmario Regardless, I hope not to offend you. But I believe that there were a Multitude of revisions of the Bible? Rendering the true message lost within the archives?
@Pilotmario Well. Since we do know Allah {SWT} Sent a Prophet to every nation on earth. There was a Prophet who had indeed Risen a group of people from the dead. They were mere bones infact.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Yes. President Obama is a Protestant Christian.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Yeah, 50 prayers a day is a bit extreme.
For Christians (well, according to my experience as one), it is before meals, before sleeping, in Church every Sunday (known as Mass), and during funerals. Special prayers are done for the four religious seasons: Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter. Advent is what is done through most of the year, Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus and has a special Mass and is of much celebration, Lent which is quite solemn, representing the 40 days which Jesus fasted in the desert and is marked by partial fasting and giving up certain luxuries in penance, and Easter aka Holy Week, which is marked by Good Friday (when Jesus is executed in Christian tradition) and Easter (when he rises from the grave like Lazarus).
I am unsure if the Koran mentions Lazarus. Basically, Jesus did many miracles, and one of them was bringing a man named Lazarus, who has been dead for some time, back to life as a normal person.
@Pilotmario however, I don't recognise Islamic extremism. There's either right or wrong.
@Pilotmario but you said he's a Protestant Christian?
@Pilotmario I know all those. It was a part of my Islamic Studies.
Indeed Musa (AS) was the Prophet for God.
But even Musa (AS) Told Muhammad (SAW) That his nation couldn't withstand the commandments passed on to them. So he requested Muhammad (SAW) To Plead to Allah {SWT} For lowering the Number of Prayer for his Ummah (Nation).
It Was 50 Prayers a day for us.
Our final prophet and messenger pushed it down to 5 Because of the Exalted Allah SWT.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation No, there's always a trail.
And he would say such a thing, in the form of "we need to crack down on Islamic extremism (ex. Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, and Daesh)" because he knows his voter base: conservative, xenophobic, fundamentalist Christian, and white-supremacist Americans who think President Obama is a Kenyan Muslim (he's a half-Kenyan, half-American Protestant Christian born in the State of Hawaii).
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I do know that in the Old Testament (the first half of the Bible and the whole Jewish Torah), the story of the Jews led them from Palestine to Egypt, where the Egyptians then enslaved them. Later, a man named Moses (a Jew who was raised by Egyptian nobility) freed the Jews from the Egyptians, and made it back to Palestine in 40 years in what was known as the Exodus. It was during this time which Moses was given by God the Ten Commandments, a moral code which governs the lives of Jews, and later, Christians.
Here is all ten, just for comparison to the Five Pillars of Islam.
1) I am the Lord, thy God, (referring to Yahweh, the God of the Hebrew peoples, and the god which we refer to as the God, or as you refer to, Allah), thou shalt not have no other gods before me and thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. Basically, he's the boss, there's no other gods around, and don't make him look bad.
2) Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. Basically respect God's name as sacred.
3) Remember the Sabbath Day, and keep it holy. Basically, Saturday in Jewish tradition, and Sunday in Christian tradition, is to be kept as a day of rest.
4) Honor thy father and mother. I don't need explanation for this.
5) Thou shalt not kill. Basically, don't kill people. However, as the Bible has mentioned many circumstances where killing is justified, we believe that the proper phrase is "thou shalt not murder" for killing is justified in circumstances of extreme self-defense (such as someone attempting to kill you).
6) Thou shalt not commit adultery.
7) Thou shalt not steal
8) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor
9) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife
10) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's possessions
@Pilotmario After all. Why would he say such a thing? Is it not the Muslim's problem for making himself Vulnerable at fault? Indeed he may seek refuge somewhere else.
