Agreed. We are entering a new era in the struggle against growing insanity. Religion is not the only cause but it is a major contributor. I saw the Sharia in London video trend there thepast few days and though I am a strict anti-racist I can now see how fear helps in belief-building on a national scale. I wonder if these small sentiments are the seeds that lead to growth of fascism and marginalisation of a particular and otherwise ‘good’ segment of society?

I Dont think its religions fault but the twisted minds of fanatics. If there was no religion they would just use some other reason to butcher innocent people.

I agree, John. If there wasn’t already an old book they could attribute their twisted actions to, they’d have written one themselves. Religion is just an excuse for fanatics to peddle their twisted ideologies.

John, it’s not as if the holy scriptures of Islam are making it difficult for them to justify their violence in fairness.

@Antonov.
…and clan and nationality and race and skin colour and politics and gender and etc etc etc. Religion is not the problem, it is just the excuse! Humans are the problem as we will use ” any difference” to manipulate situations for our own selfish needs. Take away religion and we will find some other “difference” to excuse and justify atrocities such as this and those in Paris and elsewhere.

There’s a lot of justified violence in all ‘holy’ scriptures though, no?

Agreed.

The blood on Western hands has nothing to do with religion. Power and oil are big contributors too.

Depends on the scripture Joe. There’s certainly a lot of violence in the Bible but this is mainly focused in the Judaic Old Testament. The Christian New Testament actually contradicts the earlier Judaic texts on a lot of points including violence against others.

The Pope at the time of the Crusades had problems trying to find verses which would justify a holy war. In the end they needed to use vague references to justify it.

Cheers Jason. I’m going to guess you’ve done a bit of study on the subject so can I ask… Is there nothing of peace and love or anything to redeem the scriptures of Islam?
Or do they both have enough good and bad material that pretty much anyone could pick and choose the bits they latch on to?

Unfortunately this is now the norm in this part of the world

“but this is mainly focused in the Judaic Old Testament.”
Old Testament. / the New Testament. are directly connected and opps so is the Koran …

If the invasion of Iraq by GW did not happen .. would ISIS etc exist ?

Dingle, we dont know, but one thing we do know, If the invasion of Kuwait by SH did not happen ..this situation would not exist

“If the invasion of Kuwait by SH did not happen ..this situation would not exist”
nice deflection .. (then again America was in bed with SH when the Iran and Iraq war rage …)
Some ISIS military leaders were/ are part of the old Iraqi army ….

ISIS is absolutely a product of Western interference in Eastern affairs. That’s not even debateable. It’s a fact.

Josephine: Not true, the US and UK had legal permission along with a coalition of other countries to liberate Kuwait from Saddam. They did not however have any legal authorisation to invade and destroy Iraq, and such attempts to gain permission were rejected by the security council.

The US supported Saddam while he was committing his most gruesome crimes including gassing Iranians, they also knew of his plans to use chemical weapons against the Kurdish population of Halabja and did not intervene. Following that, the US outright lied that Iran was behind the attack. Then years later when the US turned against Saddam they were using the same human rights violations committed under their support as a justification to wage war against Iraq. The Americans, especially Bush and Cheney were as bad as Saddam.

“The U.S. State Department, in the immediate aftermath of the incident, took the official position that Iran was partly to blame. A preliminary Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) study at the time reported that Iran was responsible for the attack, an assessment which was used subsequently by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for much of the early 1990s. The CIA’s senior political analyst for the Iran-Iraq war, Stephen C. Pelletiere, co-authored an unclassified analysis of the war which contained a brief summary of the DIA study’s key points. The CIA altered its position radically in the late 1990s and cited Halabja frequently in its evidence of weapons of mass destruction before the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Pelletiere claimed that a fact that has not been successfully challenged is that Iraq was not known to have possessed the cyanide-based blood agents determined to have been responsible for the condition of the bodies that were examined and that blue discolorations around the mouths of the victims and in their extremities pointed to Iranian-used gas as the culprit. Leo Casey writing in Dissent Magazine argued that “none of the authors of these documents had any expertise in medical and forensic sciences, and their speculation doesn’t stand up to minimal scrutiny.”

Joost Hiltermann, who was the principal researcher for Human Rights Watch between 1992–1994, conducted a two-year study of the massacre, including a field investigation in northern Iraq. According to his analysis of thousands of captured Iraqi secret police documents and declassified U.S. government documents, as well as interviews with scores of Kurdish survivors, senior Iraqi defectors and retired U.S. intelligence officers, it is clear that Iraq carried out the attack on Halabja, and that the United States, fully aware of this, nevertheless accused Iran, Iraq’s enemy in a fierce war, of being partly responsible for the attack. This research concluded there were numerous other gas attacks, unquestionably perpetrated against the Kurds by the Iraqi armed forces. According to Hiltermann, the literature on the Iran-Iraq war reflects a number of allegations of chemical weapons use by Iran, but these are “marred by a lack of specificity as to time and place, and the failure to provide any sort of evidence.” Hiltermann called these allegations “mere assertions” and added that “no persuasive evidence of the claim that Iran was the primary culprit was ever presented. An investigation conducted by Dr Jean Pascal Zanders, Project Leader of the Chemical and Biological Warfare Project at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, into responsibility for the Halabja massacre also concluded in 2007 that Iraq was the culprit, and not Iran.”

we can’t pick and choose your starting point of when this trouble was born, Joe is correct but Islam is flawed, Shia v Sunni is now just reaching a crescendo after thousands of years

“but Islam is flawed, ”
and GW Bush / Dick Cheney adventures in the Middle East ?
In April 7, 1991 Cheney appeared on ABC news’s This Week as the then U.S. Secretary of Defense in the George H.W. Bush Administration. Secretary Cheney was asked by the late elder statesman of ABC News, David Brinkley, why the U.S. government did not invade Iraq proper after the liberation of Kuwait in Operation Desert Storm.

BRINKLEY: One other question — it keeps coming up. Why didn’t we go to Baghdad and clean it all up while we were there?

Sec. CHENEY: Well, just as it’s important, I think, for a president to know when to commit U.S. forces to combat, it’s also important to know when not to commit U.S. forces to combat. I think for us to get American military personnel involved in a civil war inside Iraq would literally be a quagmire.

Once we got to Baghdad, what would we do? Who would we put in power? What kind of government would we have? Would it be a Sunni government, a Shi’a government, a Kurdish government? Would it be secular, along the lines of the Ba’ath Party?

Would it be fundamentalist Islamic? I do not think the United States wants to have U.S. military forces accept casualties and accept the responsibility of trying to govern Iraq. I think it makes no sense at all.
_____
“Shia v Sunni is now just reaching a crescendo after thousands of years” – hmm no decades of America misadventure

Dingle, the western and Russian interventions did not occur in a vacuum, the issues within Islam were always going to boil over as is occurring now

Josephine: It’s a myth the Sunni and Shia have been permanently embroiled in conflict. In fact there’s been as many periods of peace between the sects as conflict. The Jihadists who are tearing the region apart today are by and large due to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia who for years promoted the most toxic from of Salafi Islam. The United States has supported each country while they’ve been exporting and promoting this ideology. And in Iraq, prior the invasion intermarriage between Sunni and Shi’ite was relatively common, the illegal invasion caused sectarian war, which Al-Qaeda in Iraq exploited.

This from Jessica Stern’s book on the ISIS:

“Jihadi leaders around the world described the US occupation as a boon to their movement, which had begun to decline in large measure due to destruction of their home base in Afghanistan. Abu Musab Al Suri, one of the Jihad’s most prominent strategists claimed that the war in Iraq single-handedly recused the movement. “

A myth :), ask Iran and Saudi whether they would call it such or how do you define their rivalry

you are deflecting /ignoring the facts I am posting …
Here is another one will you be celebrating the Easter Rising this year ?
If so remember what Winston Churchill got up to Iraq in the 1920s …
“The end of World War One left Britain and France in command of the Middle East – as the defeated Ottoman Empire fell apart. The allies then carved up the region with a series of “mandates”.

It gave them control of new countries, with the notion of independence postponed until the peoples of the region were considered ready to rule themselves.

One of Britain’s mandates was Iraq – Mesopotamia as it was then. But welding together a new country and subjugating disparate ethnic and religious groups who felt that they had simply swapped one imperial Turkish master for another British one proved costly.

An uprising in Iraq in May 1920 united Sunni and Shia briefly against the British. It was put down, but required the deployment of more than 100,000 British and Indian troops. Thousands of Arabs were killed. Hundreds of British and Indian soldiers died. The military campaign cost Britain tens of millions of pounds – money it could not afford after the Great War.”
“A new way of controlling Iraq was needed, and the man who needed it most was Winston Churchill. As war secretary in Lloyd George’s coalition government, Churchill had to square huge military budget cuts with British determination to maintain a grip on its mandate in Iraq.

The result became known as “aerial policing”. It was a policy Churchill had first mused on in the House of Commons in March 1920, before the Iraqi uprising had even begun.

“It may be possible to effect economies during the course of the present year by holding Mesopotamia through the agency of the Air Force rather than by a military force. It has been pointed out that by your Air Force you have not to hold long lines of communications because the distance would only be one or one-and-a-half hours’ flight by aeroplane. It is essential in dealing with Mesopotamia to get the military expenditure down as soon as the present critical state of affairs passes away.”

The defeat of the Iraqi uprising was credited in part to the deployment of RAF bombers. The embryonic RAF – attempting to carve out a permanent role for itself and avoid being consumed by the other armed services – took on command of all future military operations in Iraq.”
BBC News

I’m not ignoring your points I just doubt their accuracy, validity you say thousands of Arabs were killed in the Iraqi revolt against the British but hundreds of British and Indian soldiers died. I know in fact thousands of british and Indian soldiers died, around 2,050-4,000 killed

” I know in fact thousands of british and Indian soldiers died, ”
and yes British soldiers etc got killed in the Irish War of Independence as well ..
Read again
“It gave them control of new countries, with the notion of independence postponed until the peoples of the region were considered ready to rule themselves.”
“I think for us to get American military personnel involved in a civil war inside Iraq would literally be a quagmire.”

so what you are saying is:

West=Bad (belligerent) Islam= good (victim)

Ah cop on, Jo. Dingle, you’re wasting your time.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton created ISIS with their inept foreign policy.

joe, wasting good conversion time on Jo?

West=Bad (belligerent) Islam= good (victim)
Hmm no you are saying that

Nice in relation to Iraq etc you use Islam and the West no mention of Imperialism …

Guess you will be disgusted with the 1916 Rising celebrations as well

Salafi Islam is still Islam.

What? Are you making a point of some sort there?

@Monty

Dingle, I agree Imperialism has a lot to answer for, including two world wars, but the day of middle east western Imperialism passed many moons ago, Shia/Sunni are now getting used to living with each and they dont like what they see

Islam needs to be reformed just as Christianity but that will never happen.

“but the day of middle east western Imperialism passed many moons ago”
Your idea of history is a bit warped
These people are trying to shake the will of the Iraqi citizens, and they want us to leave…I think the world would be better off if we did leave…“/This was said by Bush during the presidential debate of September 20, 2004]

________
“God told me to strike at al-Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them“ comes from a remark made by Bush to Palestinian negotiator Nabil Shaath, made to and reported by BBC News on Thursday, October 6 2005.

warped? explain professor

Antonov, would it not be better without arms and ammunition? Religion doesn’t kill. A loaded gun does, a primed bomb does, a missile does.

Nobody is saying west=bad islam=good.

Its not black and white. The most extreme elements of Islam have been funded by Saudi Arabia and promoted by pakistan with US support. This was in Afganistan.
For example, during the anti soviet war there in the ’80s most russian supplies came through a heavily guarded tunnel. The only way to blow it would have required sending the bomber to his death (The regional commander was Massoud) but they could not get anyone to do it, roll on 30 years with untold amounts of Saudi and US cash and the place is awash with suicide bombers. And yes the US was bankrolling the extremists not the moderates through the Pakistan IS during the 80s

The aftermath of WWI is another stunning example of western interference, the British were looking for a a puupet Caliph to do their bidding in order to keep Indian muslims loyal and give them control over the entire region including Mecca and Medina, Al Saud of strict Wahabbism was the preferred favourite. The Ottoman Gran Vizier was considered the Caliph at the time.

Before the war Russia and Britain had already divided up persia between them, the british (Winston Churchill) wanted the south to secure oil for their new battleships, creating the Anglo Persian Oil company and the South Persian rifles to do so. It was the fight for control of this oil company which ultimately led to the 1979 revolution and the Ayatollahs we see today.

Research the Great Game and see how Britain and Russia treated the area for 100 years prior to WWI

Josephine it can be soul destroying trying argue a point with the tinfoil hat brigade, America and its allies and of course Israel big bad wolf, Islam innocent little red riding hood thats is just misunderstood.

“Islam was never a religion of peace. Islam is the religion of fighting. No-one should believe that the war that we are waging is the war of the Islamic State. It is the war of all Muslims, but the Islamic State is spearheading it. It is the war of Muslims against infidels.”- Abu Bakar Al Baghdadi (leader of ISIS) Al Baghdadi is a graduate of the Islamic University of Baghdad where he completed his academic studies BA, MA, PhD so He was an Islamic revolutionary in Saddam Husseins rein before the US got involved so, Baghdadi was useful to the US at the beginning of the Syrian conflict as the goal of the US was to get rid of Assad etc so the funded his organisation and supplied him with hardware such as the anti Tank TOW weapon system via the Saudis which is ongoing, The FSA and other Sunni head hacking groups also receive similar aid.

Baghdadi and DAESH are the result of Islamic teachings not the US

How haas christianity reformed? it is the pluralisation and rejection of christian dogma which has modernised the west in spite of christianity. Don’t confuse Islam with being organised along the lines of the catholic or orthodox churches, such things don’t exist.
Radicalisation of some muslims has been done by the spreading of strict whabbi theolgy through Saudi funded organisations the US’s biggest muslim ally.
When these radicalised Arab fighters first turned up in Afghanistan they spent as much time fighting mujahadeen as soviets on account of desecrating the ornate graves of Afghan fighters which their austere views deemed unislamic.

William, shhh. The adults are talking.

Hmm Boyd nobody mentioned Israel …
anyway one of your heroes

“I would still invade Iraq even if Iraq never existed”

George W. Bush’s remark made to the Press-Telegram, Monday, August 21, 2006.

Matty Reese, Iran an innocent party by your account, what about its activities with hizbollah and in Syria at present?

lol’d at that one “I would still invade Iraq even if Iraq never existed”, that must be a Bushism

“what about its activities with hizbollah and in Syria at present?”
Your point exactly ?

After a U.S. Shift, Iran Has a Seat at Talks on War in Syria
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/29/world/middleeast/syria-talks-vienna-iran.html?_r=0

“hat must be a Bushism”
No an idiot who should never have been President

Dingle, did you vote for Bush as your president? No, so say it as it is the U.S. President

” did you vote for Bush as your president?” ” so say it as it is the U.S. President”
I do not have a vote in the USA ..
How about you ?
Totally off the wall post …

Agreed William Boyd, but it’s nice to hear from these guys what the channel RT are broadcasting at the moment without the need to actually watch the brainwashing RT channel

Exactly that is why Islam cannot be reformed it is not organised as Christianity is which is why political Islam is no different than religious Islam, both have the same goals.. An Islamic world under Sharia law.

“Agreed William Boyd,” Enough said :)
“watch the brainwashing RT channel” hmm nope

ahh Josephine, more what aboutary again I don’t claim Iran doesn’t fund organisations like hezbollah but your grasp of history and timelines seems tenuous at best so here it is simply put.

pre WWI Persia divided up by Russia and Britan, treaty signed to give Britain via APOC control of oil, supported by British armed militia South Persian Rifles.

After WWII Democratically elected prime Minister (Mansoureh Ettehadieh) nationalises AOPC.

Britain outraged, convinces CIA Mansoureh Ettehadieh is a communist and the overthrow him in coup installling authoritarian Shah.

Shah crushes dissent, crushing, killing and imprisoning all opposition.

1979 Revolution deposes Shah, Khomenai hijacks revolution (which was as much liberal as Islamic) after the fact, assumes control and turns Iran into a Theocracy.

1980 Iraq with US encouragement invades Iran, a war which the Clergy still use today as a tool to consolidate their grip on power.

1982 Hezbollah appears in Lebanon

“No an idiot who should never have been President” should read “No an idiot who should never have been U.S. President” unless you have no president of your own, i.e Michael D. Higgins, you are not an American so stop pretending you know everything about the USA

Ok this has plummeted to new depths of stupid so I’m gonna unsubscribe. Josephine, please keep your trolling limited to this thread.

“what aboutary”?? Well done for the new phrase, but there is a time and place, like at home with your beau

Alas Josephine. I think you might stop pretending you know anything. Stop confusing your imaginations, opinions and hearsay with facts.

LOL Joe Phillips well said :)
“you are not an American so stop pretending you know everything about the USA”
Is an Irish Troll pretending to be an American ?

guys, you truly have the power to best of keyboard warriors

The best quote from GW Bush June 14, 2001,
“It’s amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity, and incumbency” (and fu(( it he was correct)

The objectives of the bombing by ISIS is simple and brutally effective …..

Syrians in Istanbul fear a backlash against them following the Turkish government’s claim that the suicide bomber was a 28-year-old from Syria, writes Ghaith Abdul-Ahad.

Ahmad, a be-speckled engineer from the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo, has been living with his wife in Turkey for two years.

Waiting for a tram at Eminono station south of the scene of the bomb blast he said: “People will be blaming all the Syrians, they don’t know that we have been running away from those same people who are doing the bombing for years.

Ahmad said: “It’s like a nightmare that we can’t wake up form , wherever we go the bombs and war follows us, now turkey our last refuge will be closing its doors.”

His wife added: “It has already closed them”.

once again Dingle, you may feel you are the point in Europe that is closest to North America, but stop spewing your USA facts like you believe you are an expert on the USA, you need to refocus

” but stop spewing your USA facts”
opps are you an American ? Yes or No
If no STFU

Dingle, read up on you affliction: United States Obsession

Wow you are a Troll lol’d at that response, obsessively baiting , are you insane or lonely

anyway Sweeney ..I leave you here all alone
Bye

ah Reverse Trolling now, congrats you have arrived, when someone uses the troll word, they automatically lose the argument in my book

@Antonov – Don’t you mean “without Islam”?

@Shane the Harlequin – Please be specific Shane. It is not religion – It is Islam specifically.

@Joe – Islamic scriptures are not holy.

@Jason – The crusades were a defensive conflict. Please get your facts right. As far as violence in the OT is concerned – most of that was against tribes who were engaged in activities such as human and child sacrifice and other evil activities.

Lol! Is she getting under your skin?

The new yorker is a left wing rag.

how can it stop when Europe is allowing terrorists to just walk across borders????
Germany has take over a million of refugees and it dose not even know where they come from or who they are

Said it before here and I repeat….you’d have to be off your trolly to holiday in a Muslim country

@Jason. Mathew 5:17.

The problem is religious indoctrination from a very young age, we are incredibly impressionable in our formative years so saying religion is not the problem is being disingenuous , islam hammers sexism, bigotry , justified reasons for a woman to be raped etc and an all round sense of superiority over the non believers .from a very young age, You take away that indoctrination and a lot of problems (not all) with immigrants disappears. But it’s impossible to do that with people who don’t speak the language and have no interest to change and integrate

Bet they are all wishing for SH and , MG. ..i.e the days before the “Arab spring”…better the devil you know.
Watched an interesting documentary a couple of nights ago called inside asaads Syria, puts a different perspective on the conflict. ..worth watching. .like all programmes like this,got everyone has got an agenda.
But it was an angle I have not seen before

Many on here called me a rascist when I and a few others warned of the insanity of fg frances Fitzgerald/labour joan burton agreeing to take many thousands immigrants. So there the latest from f24 since no article on here: merkel attempts ass saving excerise as German Coalition publishes new laws today to easier export same migrants. Q.E.D. (quad ete demostratum)-my point is proven. Shame on Sweden for Cover Up of girls assaulted at music festival. Shame on Cologne for Cover-Up of attacks on women New Years Eve. I am not a rascist, lived in many countries, no problem with moderate Shia Muslims, Jewish, Hindu, or other faiths. But, this site and the Majors: independent newspapers, irish times etc. Have done us no service. They have Not revealed the True State of Affairs in Sweden, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, or France and Germany while Our Ministers agreed on a policy than can and will if implemented cause many problems for Ireland.

@Joe Phillips………….ISIS is a product of the Koran and Mohammed. Particularly ISIS hearkens back to the first 3 centuries of strict Mohammedan practices to which ISIS adheres meticulously.
Before ISIS there was Wahabbism and so on back in one form or other to Mohammed himself..

Merkel doesn’t care, whats 8 of her own or 200 assaulted when she’s got 1.1millions humans to pool from. Surely she’ll manage to pull around 100,000 doctors and nurses out of that to look after her ageing population. I wouldn’t bank on the nurses, most of the men left them behind in Syria! You’ve been duped ya fool!

Erdogan: why u taking cheap isis oil and shoot down russian jet trying to stop it?

Too many isis trolls here tonite. Fu all. Ni foot in Ireland for u.

I like Germany. No ff off Merkel . They dont like ur crazy politics. U try now what u want it is not enough – Germany not forgive you, Sie Haben Recht=they are right. Du bist verrukt geworden. (U went crazy).

Patrick O’Connor: u are good man. Speak the truth . Defend Ireland. Eff isis. Not here.

More Evidence of Turkey’s Support of the Islamic State (ISIS), in Liaison with US and NATO.
Evidence keeps mounting on how Turkey directly aids ISIS, complicit with Washington, other NATO countries and regional partners.
Foreign support lets terrorist groups in Syria, Iraq and Libya thrive. Without it they’d become a spent force, unable to operate effectively on their own – what media scoundrels never explain, perpetuating the myth of US war on ISIS.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/more-evidence-of-turkeys-support-of-the-islamic-state-isis-in-liaison-with-us-and-nato/5500916

Pat. U are right. And, not a word in Irish Media. They think most people are mushrooms (keep in dark-feed bull**it). Shame on Irish Journalists. Keep posting, good stuff.

It can’t be, it unequivocally states that it can’t be altered and that it is the final word of God so don’t expect a New Testament any time soon

@Joe Phillips@Jason Culligan……….Mohammed started out his life as prophet in Mecca in 610 where for 13 yrs,until he was thrown out of town( along with his small band of 130 followers) for annoying all with his threats of eternal damnation and the like. Along with Koran hellfire threats and the like are found some peaceful verses in this First Meccan Koran Period.
Arriving in Medina(Medina Koran Period) he began his 10 year career as a warlord robbing caravans,killing,raping and enslaving with accompanying supportive verses from the Koran until he died in 632.
When asked about the discrepancy between some earlier peaceful verses and later violent ones he brought down the ‘Abrogated Verse’ and replied that all later verses supercede the earlier ones. This is the verse that ISIS, and any Muslim that wants to, go by.
“None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar: Knowest thou not that Allah hath power over all things?” (Qur’an 2:106).
Reference/Robert Spencer
—” Another still-influential Qur’an commentator, Ibn Kathir (1301-1372) quotes an earlier authority, Ad-Dahhak bin Muzahim, to establish that the Verse of the Sword, sura 9:5 (“slay the unbelievers wherever you find them”) “abrogated every agreement of peace between the Prophet and any idolater, every treaty, and every term.” He adds from another authority: “No idolater had any more treaty or promise of safety ever since Surah Bara”ah was revealed.” And yet another early commentator, Ibn Juzayy (d. 1340) agrees that one of this verse’s functions is “abrogating every peace treaty in the Qur’an.”
–” “None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar: Knowest thou not that Allah hath power over all things?” (Qur’an 2:106).

Tell when the whole world is a becomes a Islamic Republic… thats there only one and only goal.!!!

@John Walsh………..How come the minds of wee children in Gaza have been twisted to do suicide bombing for the PLO, formerly under master Yasser Arafat and now, I hear, Hamas is gearing up for similar?
How come no mothers in any other culture/religion allow their own kids,even chaperone their own kids to commit suicide bombing?
How come Islam approves of this tactic as a sacred jihad?
One could easily conclude that it’s just one religion that does this or maybe a religion masquerading as an Ideoligy.

Without Islam!

Spoh on rum
