8th century Byzantine Islamophobe

As far back as the 8th century, mere generations after Islam was born, Byzantine chronicler Theophanes wrote in his Chrongraphia:
Quote:He [Islamic prophet Muhammad] taught those who gave ear to him that the one slaying the enemy—or being slain by the enemy—entered into paradise [e.g., Koran 9:111]. And he said paradise was carnal and sensual—orgies of eating, drinking, and women. Also, there was a river of wine … and the woman were of another sort, and the duration of sex greatly prolonged and its pleasure long-enduring [e.g., Koran 56: 7-40, 78:31, 55:70-77]. And all sorts of other nonsense.
Bah! Hate speech. Theophanes should have been locked up.

Fixated, heh. I'm not the one who's spent weeks looking at pictures of Obama and making multiple threads about him.

Care to open a history book?

Guess not. Otherwise you would have noticed that there was a war going on at the time.

It's about theology, not war. War comes and goes. Theology persists. It's about understanding that religious doctrine.

Theology is an empty subject. It is all made up and lacks any evidence.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Guess what influences theology - politics. War didn't come and go for the Byzantine empire. It came and lasted until 1453. The cursades were in fact part of that war with the political motif of gaining back Byzantine territorry.

That's why history is an actual science and better not left to any wayward yahoo like frontpage magazine with it's very telling sub.
