Arabs before Islam: video.
September 29, 2021 at 3:59 am
This classy video is describing the history of Arabia before Islam:
From a historical prespective; ancient Arabs were mostly sexist and nomadic tribes that even buried their own daughters alive; until Islam came from Allah and transformed these people into a golden new age of prosperity, marking history forever.

Gotta wonder why Allah was OK with people burying their daughters alive for so long.

Video about the 'improvement' of the treatment of women thanks to Islam brought you you by 'Manscaped'? Seriously. Classy is maybe not the adjective I'd use to describe this specific piece of spin.

Did anyone actually watch the full video?
Nowhere does Kings and Generals make the claims that things were better for women under Islam, And he's done plenty of videos showing just how cruel and barbarous the Islamic world could be. If anyone got the idea this was Pro Islam propaganda they weren't paying attention. As for him having a sponsor, he's doing this for a living and a Youtube partnership doesn't pay the bills so he like lots of other channels finds somebody willing to partner with him. It's amazing that a thread centered around this video ignores what it's actually about.

Um wha?
Islam nor Arabs, or any race or religion for that matter own a patent on human morality. There is not one period of human history, in our species history where any one label, any one race, any one nation created worldwide peace.
There are literally videos of women being buried in the dirt up to the head, where stones are thrown at her until she dies. There is a video of a guy, considered a traitor, enclosed in a cage, doused in petrol and set on fire.
As much as I hate our religious right wing in America, the west, still by far, is far more open and pluralistic than that of which you stupidly try to defend.

Just out of curiosity, I looked up an article on Islamic contributions to the world. A CNN article listed 10 such contributions, but out of the 10, only the music and coffee could be claimed to have their origin in the Arabian peninsula. All the other "achievements" were a result of Muslim thugs subjugating other peoples.
Islamism is a parasite and has been, apparently, throughout even its highest points.

I hate this argument. I think the real argument should be about tribalism, not religion. Outside Islam, even Asians with Buddhist and Shinto and Jainism and Taoism bents, have had their own internal/external conflicts. It would be a mistake to assume that only the big three religions of Abraham in Christian, Jewish and Islam, are the only capable of making trouble. Religion does not teach anything but tribalism.

Because life is a test ground for humans. You take the freedom to do anything from eating pork to robbing caravans to working as a thug to working as a saint.
In judgement day you get trialed for what you did in the test; if you pass you go to paradise; if you fail you go to hell permanently.

The channel gets lots of sponsors; for example Magellantv.

Life is never meant to be a "peaceful ride"; even the Animal Kingdom has battles; ever saw a Hyena pack waging war on a pack of Lionesses?
Fighting is a law of life. It will exist no matter what you do; but we can regulate that behavior and control the battles we decide to take unlike "Animals".
Humans used different philosophies to regulate combat; the philosophies varied from religious branches to atheistic branches -like Secular law-. Most made humanity go extinct in pointless wars (like WW2 and WW1), killing hundreds of Millions of people. A failure that made the advocates of that law worse than animals. Their massacres still divide nations until today.
Anyways; we must fight Brian. Even when other humans are not around; viruses and disease wages war against us !
So there is no peace in this life, this life is a test from the same being that created us and this universe we live in.

What about "Romanism" or should I say "Gog and Magogism" ?
The west and Christianity are the worst invaders in history; they even butchered all Native Americans and took their women as slaves !
Eaters of the world and their allies should never throw rocks at others.
