more news on ISIS minting. Wonder if this has legs? http://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/11/i...ld-silver-and-copper-to-mint-its-own-currency
Actually? Your real opinion? Sarcasm please. IRL: The United States ceased conducting military actions in the area known as the Levant, which is the main area the makes up a large part of Iraq, which combined with the civil war in Syria, has resulted in a new state declaring sovereignty for the zone, and subsequently made inroads in the region into land areas that were previously being held by the Iraqi / American military. Had Palestine done similar things after the 1948 withdrawl of Britain, Israel would be a very different shape.
IRL: There are violent and greedy bastards everywhere, an entire industry built upon manipulating the perceptions of individuals, an entire subculture built on questioning the validity of popular claims, and we have no information available that we can trust beyond that provided by our senses, and even this can be misleading. Fact is, that if US didn't attempt regime change (again), there would likely be more stability in the middle east, more liberty in the US, and less US weaponry in the hands of ISIS militants. Regardless of ISIS's other alleged activities, I fully support their efforts to return to a PM based monetary system.
aren't the royal mint in england making the ISIS coins? [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_-hl3H72nM#t=30[/youtube]
Actually these coins are pretty nice, and they certainly have some historic value. In 20 years (when IS will hopefully only be a very distant memory) you can show them to your kids and talk about how evil Islam (or people!) can be. But if you buy these coins you will be financially supporting the IS, so you can be imprisoned, right?
^^^ It has been suggested by KP Numismatics that the US will ban ownership and I can only imagine that Australia will follow suit. Purchasing will also possibly put you on the wrong kind of radar - and I don't mean the ISIS one. I agree that in the future they will make great collectables, but in the meantime they may prove far more trouble than they will ever be worth.
Apart from the trouble (which would be very small in my part of the world, I reckon), I would be financing the IS if I bought these coins, and I really really really don't want to do that! Anyway, the coins are very beautiful.
this terrorist stuff is a big con by western gov to control its own people ! very sad but very true. so they can make laws to check when we have a sh$t. and everything else.
B I will give you $500 cash to put on a orange jumpsuit and start handing out bibles and preaching the word of God out the front of Lekemba Mosque just before Friday prayers you save to stay there 30 mins to get the cash (or if you get taken away by an ambulance I will pay the $500 as well)
This place? - http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/ne...-mosque-open-day/story-fngr8gwi-1227103724287 You pay for the plane ticket, the jumpsuit, and a kebab for lunch and I'll take that bet.
That would be a nice social experiment. Anybody who interferes or heckles should be put on the first plane to whenever they (or their parents) came from.
I am not paying for airfares but I would pay the $500 just to see it, I want a few days notice so I can get down there to watch and get it on the gopro. Happy to pay for the kebab if your able to meet up for lunch afterwards.
why what will happen ? my best mate is a muslim and I am not we get on fine I am happy to hear about others faiths I find it interesting so why would these people in the mosque be any different ? maybe extremists use it as an excuse to do some of the things they do from all religions but I don't see why the US has to inflict its beliefs on the rest of the world, why not just let people be who they are are we so scared we have to make everyone like us to feel better about who we are? those countries are 1000's of years old with the same peoples why do we have the need to change them? sure they may do things we don't like to there own people but who voted the US the world police? maybe they need to look in their own back yard before casting judgement on others. but humans are the most destructive animal on this planet for how smart we think we are we are so very stupid !! men all over the world bash women granted some women bash men but read some figures on here http://www.whiteribbon.org.au/ so who gives us the right to judge? oh that's right its still the weak being bashed human nature right pick on the weak one survival of the fittest. or is that survival of the richest? ops now I am off to guantanamo bay
If I make it to Sydney I'll let you know, not sure I'd be that convincing an evangelist though. Either way, I'm happy to share the youtube click profits. Can I wear one of these instead of a jumpsuit? Source: http://www.beliefnet.com/columnists/omsweetom/2009/11/a-hare-krishna-halloween.html And do I get to choose the God I'm spreading the word of? Taoism maybe? Can I just dance around and quote Laozi?
This post says a lot and even sums it up , It goes back further if not to Cain & Able regardless logical truth is simple, people of any religion , Race - who want peace / harmony should have the invariable rite . There can't be any sympathy for the humans that get up each day to want or do the deeds of the lowest depth that sounds like hell on earth . Wile the USA is a chef of the meal . I don't believe our intention was to have this end result . But some how we did destabilize the area . Unfortunately there are enough ill thinking people that will join simply as an outlet for there inner desire of destruction regardless of there own lives
No it has to be an "orange jump suit" and you have to hand out bibles and push the Christian religion(try and convert people) I have to be honest I would feel really bad if it went south, you actually seem like a decent sort of a fella. You have to promise not to sue me (or your family) if it went south. I would need a few days notice so I can get organised to get down to Sydney We could potentially make a fortune on YouTube 50/50 and you get any medical costs payed out of the Youtube profits.
FYI, non Muslim, lived near the mosque for years, best mate = Musso, he's from eastern suburbs. Why would someone handing out bibles preaching Christianity near a mosque in lakemba end up in hospital? Well wearing an orange jumpsuit is inciting racism and hitting close to home for some whos country men have been/ are being grossly mistreated. As for the bible bashing, you would probably just be ignored for the most part. If a single human being came to your church (assuming you are religious) and began offering readings or scripture of a different God would you resort to violence? It happens everyday in the city, Catholics, evangelists, scientologists, Buddhist, Mormons & the Flying Spaghetti Monster knows what else other religions shoving some charm, some reading, some scripture, a free IQ test, a personality quiz, a pencil case and all the other cokamangy propagandistic tools in an attempt to get you to aknowledge their religion and join them in their beliefs. But you know what, I cannot recall Muslims trying to push their religion in this way, in fact, other than through reports from western media, I may have had a totally neutral view of Muslims as I do with every other noted religion out there. My goddaughter (12) said it best, she is rainbow religion. That is some deep shit. Now if I could only find a thread on politics I could break my rule of things not to discuss with a beer in hand.
FWIW, I backed out of the bet because I'm "not Christian enough" to be that antagonistically evangelical. Nothing against the Jesus crowd, I'm just not a one book kind of guy. To take part in the bet I'd have to believe what I was promoting and would aim to do it in a way that was more comedic than incendiary. It's a lot more effective to share common truths with a smile than to force opinion with a scowl. Your goddaughter gives me hope for the future, I truly hope that age and social pressure does not reduce her wisdom.
