    RE: About the Holocaust
    ⁜→ alexa, et al,

    Yes, you have a good observation here and an excellent follow-on question.

    (COMMENT)

    IMO, while there is a whole host of thing in play here, the two most aspects that influence the repetitious military news are:

    ◈ The lack of other more energetic new events for the DoD Press Office to release. When you have nothing new to report, but must publish something, you have to highlight something trivial to make it look like they are doing something.

    ◈ Some news articles are similar if not the same as previous articles to make it look like, a couple years down the road (on a reflection backwards in time), a history of past criminal behaviors. Should it become necessary to provide justication for possible future actions.​

    When the DoD talks about the "environmental considerations" — they are not talking about the weather. It is a spectrum of media outlets, capacity to access news events or
    that may affect the planning and execution of present and future military operations.

    While media management and public affairs are no outlets or platforms for misinformation and disinformation (ie propaganda roles), they are often used to counter propaganda through the release of true information that negates or mitigates hostile propaganda efforts. But the DoD agencies that manage media development "will only release truthful information."

    Inferences are another matter. What is released is 100% true. The inferences drawn made lead to a different conclusion. In the case of the drone events, suspicious minds may conclude that the event:

    ◈ Could have been a test on the dectection or interception of the entity under surveillance.

    ◈ Could have been to mislead the aggressor into thinking their air defense capability is better than it really is.

    ◈ Could be that the surveillance device was sacrificed in a deception operation (less capable than what it is).​

    There are simply a dozen reasons for a release of information; none of which are to bore you. In fact, some news releases are not even targeting a friendly audience.

    Most Respectfully,
    R

    In 1099, the Crusaders conquered Jerusalem and massacred its Muslim and Jewish inhabitants indiscriminately, in the name of the gentle Jesus. At that time, 400 years into the occupation of Palestine by the Muslims, Christians were still the majority in the country. Throughout this long period, no effort was made to impose Islam on them. Only after the expulsion of the Crusaders from the country, did the majority of the inhabitants start to adopt the Arabic language and the Muslim faith - and they were the forefathers of most of today's Palestinians.

    THERE IS no evidence whatsoever of any attempt to impose Islam on the Jews. As is well known, under Muslim rule the Jews of Spain enjoyed a bloom the like of which the Jews did not enjoy anywhere else until almost our time. Poets like Yehuda Halevy wrote in Arabic, as did the great Maimonides. In Muslim Spain, Jews were ministers, poets, scientists. In Muslim Toledo, Christian, Jewish and Muslim scholars worked together and translated the ancient Greek philosophical and scientific texts. That was, indeed, the Golden Age. How would this have been possible, had the Prophet decreed the "spreading of the faith by the sword"?

    What happened afterwards is even more telling. When the Catholics re-conquered Spain from the Muslims, they instituted a reign of religious terror. The Jews and the Muslims were presented with a cruel choice: to become Christians, to be massacred or to leave. And where did the hundreds of thousand of Jews, who refused to abandon their faith, escape? Almost all of them were received with open arms in the Muslim countries. The Sephardi ("Spanish") Jews settled all over the Muslim world, from Morocco in the west to Iraq in the east, from Bulgaria (then part of the Ottoman Empire) in the north to Sudan in the south. Nowhere were they persecuted. They knew nothing like the tortures of the Inquisition, the flames of the auto-da-fe, the pogroms, the terrible mass-expulsions that took place in almost all Christian countries, up to the Holocaust.

    WHY? Because Islam expressly prohibited any persecution of the "peoples of the book". In Islamic society, a special place was reserved for Jews and Christians. They did not enjoy completely equal rights, but almost. They had to pay a special poll-tax, but were exempted from military service - a trade-off that was quite welcome to many Jews. It has been said that Muslim rulers frowned upon any attempt to convert Jews to Islam even by gentle persuasion - because it entailed the loss of taxes.

    Every honest Jew who knows the history of his people cannot but feel a deep sense of gratitude to Islam, which has protected the Jews for fifty generations, while the Christian world persecuted the Jews and tried many times "by the sword" to get them to abandon their faith.

    You are not being entirely honest here.
    The muslims were always ordered to kill the Jews, for 1400 years, by their God, and did quite regularly with few exceptions.
    Spain being one.
    The Jews and Muslims sided together for military protection from the Catholics.
    During this time the Muslims actually actually learned things, or at least claimed they did.
    The Jews were learned people and living with them in peace, probably had an effect on them.

    Before and after that, the muslims gathered info, inventions, etc. from the people they conquered and claimed it was their own.

    By linking to my source I am being completely honest.

    Source?

    Learned things? More like invented things:

    From coffee to cheques and the three-course meal, the Muslim world has given us many innovations that we take for granted in daily life.

    The ancient Greeks thought our eyes emitted rays, like a laser, which enabled us to see. The first person to realise that light enters the eye, rather than leaving it, was the 10th-century Muslim mathematician, astronomer and physicist Ibn al-Haitham.

    A thousand years before the Wright brothers a Muslim poet, astronomer, musician and engineer named Abbas ibn Firnas made several attempts to construct a flying machine.

    The crank-shaft, one of the most important mechanical inventions in the history of humankind, was created by an ingenious Muslim engineer called al-Jazari to raise water for irrigation.

    Many modern surgical instruments are of exactly the same design as those devised in the 10th century by a Muslim surgeon called al-Zahrawi.

    The windmill was invented in 634 for a Persian caliph and was used to grind corn and draw up water for irrigation.

    The technique of inoculation was not invented by Jenner and Pasteur but was devised in the Muslim world and brought to Europe from Turkey by the wife of the English ambassador to Istanbul in 1724.

    The system of numbering in use all round the world is probably Indian in origin but the style of the numerals is Arabic and first appears in print in the work of the Muslim mathematicians al-Khwarizmi and al-Kindi around 825. Algebra was named after al-Khwarizmi's book, Al-Jabr wa-al-Muqabilah, much of whose contents are still in use.

    By the 9th century, many Muslim scholars took it for granted that the Earth was a sphere.

    The list goes on:

    How Islamic inventors changed the world

    https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/how-islamic-inventors-changed-the-world-6106905.html

    Can you give some examples of this learning, other than religious/philosophical or in the field of medicine?

    Can you give some examples which better or at least equal that of the Islamic inventors and scholars above?

    NO, Linking to the source does not make you honest.
    It just shows you where you got your information.
    The source for Muslims killing jews in in the Qur'an and sunnah.
    Invented things is a joke.
    There is a site, even a book, ( Might be taken down by now) 1001 inventions by Muslims, unfortunately everything can be traced to earlier sources.
    Arabic numerals are not Arabic.
    al-Zahrawi was mistakenly called the father of modern surgery and has books with drawings of tools he invented.
    Unfortunately more modern examples were uncovered from Pompei, buried 1000 years earlier.

    No. Muslims gathered info from the places they conquered, and claimed it for themselves.

    The book and info, you are reading is 100% bullshit, I have seen this before, and muslims don't even use it to argue anymore.


    Yes, there were some inventions from Muslims, but so few, they aren't worth mentioning.

    about 10 years ago when muslims were being put on a spot to explain their sicko religion, the market was flooded with these bullshit books of what they supposedly did. All have been proven wrong, wrong, wrong.
    I am surprised someone still brings them up, even Muslims don't anymore,
    it seems you are a little behind the times.

    If you wish to argue, bring up one or two examples at a time and we can look them up

    I lost part of my rebuttal.

    anyways there is a site, (might be down by now), even a book, 1001 inventions by Islam.
    All, with few exceptions, are proven bullsh-t.
    The inventions came from somewhere else.

    No, Muslims contributed virtually nothing to society, then and now.

    A modern example is look at the Nobel prizes.
    Muslims, 1/5th of the world population;
    So far nine Muslims have won the Nobel Prizes and this is a dismal record for a population of 1.4 billion Muslims in the world.

    Jews have been awarded 25% of all Nobel Prizes and 28% of those in the scientific research fields.

    Not bad for .02 percent of the world population.

    So call a spade a spade and just say Mr.Averny is dishonest.

    So quote the verses. But so what? There are many versus in the Old Testament that call for the killing of non-Jews. Or are you saying the killing of Jews is a worse offense than the killing of non-Jews?


    Look at the second example I gave: Ibn al-Haytham. Wikipedia says, 'Ibn al-Haytham was the first to explain that vision occurs when light reflects from an object and then passes to one's eyes.' [23]


    Looking at that footnote we see it references: Adamson, Peter (7 July 2016). Philosophy in the Islamic World: A History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps. Oxford University Press. p. 77.


    Wikipedia continues, 'And he was the first to point out that vision occurs in the brain, rather than in the eyes.'[24]


    That one references: Baker, David B. (2012). The Oxford Handbook of the History of Psychology: Global Perspectives. Oxford University Press, USA, p. 445

    A search on those two titles shows both those books are available in ebook form and hard copy.

    You may wish to believe the Oxford University Press publishes falsehoods but you'll have a hard time convincing others of that.

    The second one, 'Muslim poet, astronomer, musician and engineer named Abbas ibn Firnas made several attempts to construct a flying machine' - about that Wikipedia refernces, John H. Lienhard (2004). "'Abbas Ibn Firnas". The Engines of Our Ingenuity. Episode 1910. NPR. KUHF-FM Houston.

    Do you want to examine the others as well?

    Their religion is no sicker than the one you appear to be defending. That one is the most hate-filled and racist one around. If you don't believe me just pick up a copy of the Old Testament and do a little reading. There are numerous verses there inciting genocide.

    Where have they been proven wrong? The Oxford University Press certainly doesn't seem to think so.

    The awarding of Nobel prizes is a complete farce. That Bob Dylan can be awarded the prize for literature yet literary giants like James Joyce and Leo Tolstoy get ignored smacks of nepotism and favoritism.

    And war criminals like Henry Kissinger receive the peace prize. What a disgrace.

    Besides, where were all the Jewish scientists, inventors, artists, etc a few hundred years ago when all the discoveries and inventions that fuelled the industrial revolution were happening?

    I disagree 100%.

    I agree 100%. Jews made great contributions to World Culture. Jewish medical discoveries saved billions of lives. Here.

    That is absolute nonsense. By the time USSR became Totalitarian, Jews were driven out of power.

    Under Stalin's Rule, about 800,000 people were executed, 1.4 million died in camps, and a million died in exile. Definitely Joseph Stalin had great sins.

    Joseph Stalin also had great virtue -- he played the greatest role of all mortals in saving Humankind from Nazis. He built USSR into a Superpower.

    Most Old Testament kings had great sins and great virtues.

    Along with 6 Million Jews, 4 Million Soviet POWs and 11 Million other civilians were murdered by Nazis. Nazis were orders of magnitude worse then Communists.

    Holocaust had no historical parallels. Nazis did also kill 15 million other civilians and POWs. Nazis were orders of magnitude worse then Communists.

    No, they weren't. The Nazis killed a lot of people in a relatively short time. More than Stalin and likely more than the USSR as a whole (the figures you gave in another post are laughably low BTW). However, Mao racked up a truly massive body count, and Pol Pot was responsible for the death of over 25% of Cambodians in 4 years.

    Does that somehow make the Nazis less evil? Not remotely. At a certain scale the evil is just so big that trying to decide which evil is more evil than another evil is basically pointless. Unfortunately there are some people who, for political, ideological, nationalist or racial reasons (or a combination) try to minimise the evil of particular regimes. This thread & a few others on this forum are a monument to the damage that does to a person't mind and their soul. Not a path to walk down.

    This is 100% false; gas chambers were found and photographed; survivors spoke on what they saw too.

    Firstly, I'd like to welcome you to this forum even though we obviously differ on this particular topic. I feel that it is entirely possible to differ on issues and do so calmly, civilly & respectfully.

    I've lived, studied and worked in Europe where I had the opportunity to meet at least a dozen holocaust survivors. Like the post war Red Cross interviews(1) with thousands of former work camp inmates, not one of them saw or had any experiences with homicidal gas chambers.
    The only form of "gas chambers" at the German run camps were delousing chambers used to kill typhus bearing lice in old clothes, blankets, mattresses etc.
    I have already written extensively on this topic in related threads where you are welcome to review the evidence I have already submitted.
    http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/about-the-holocaust.552312/page-20

    For the last few days, I have been discussing this topic on the following thread:
    http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/9-11-truthers-holocaust-deniers.474495/page-13

    I am currently waiting for someone among those who believe the standard holocaust narrative (holocaustians) to answer the following 3 simple questions. So far, the holocaustians at this forum have only responded with evasions, character slurs and specious, unsupported claims.

    Those 3 questions were/are:


    1. Where are homicidal gas chambers and the auxiliary rooms with extensive fans & ventilation systems that were needed to heat the Zyklon B to a gaseous state and then introduce the gas into the gas chamber and, later, exhaust the deadly gas from the room so that the bodies could be cleared?


    2. Do you believe that the morgue at Auschwitz that is falsely labeled as a "gas chamber" is genuine or simply a fake used to deceive gullible & poorly informed individuals?


    3. Why are there no reports of seeing cherry red skin by any of the survivors? (2), (3), (4), (5), (6)

    Finally, you may not be aware that the vast majority of the world does not believe the standard holocaust narrative(7) as promoted by the fraudulent Holocaust Industry(8).

    Nazi Ideology was built on the plan of extermination of all minorities. Jews were the first priority, thus Six Million Jews were killed. But 14 Million other POWs/civilians were also killed.

    Communist Ideology was built on bringing Well-Being and Positive Rights to all Humans. Unfortunately, Communists did not care if many people were hurt in the process. Thus, 3.2 Million people died as a result of Joseph Stalin's penal policy.

    Nazism was much more evil then Communism, but Communism also had enormous excesses.

    I have studied detailed sources published after the Fall of Soviet Union. Nazi ideal was extermination of all Minorities -- they did exterminate almost all Jews in their power.

    Communist ideal was providing Well-Being and Positive Rights to all Humans. Sadly, Communists victimized many innocent people in the process. In Stalin's USSR, 3.2 Million people died as a result of Joseph penal policy. About 20 million served time in prison. They did not die, but many served time for minor theft.

    Holocaust was the greatest tragedy for Jews. The fact that Nazis murdered 15 Million other POWs and civilians proves that Nazis were even worse.

    Nazi victory would have meant extermination of billions of people. Thank G-d, Nazis did not win.

    Global Communist Victory would have meant end of Political Freedom. It would have meant jailing of many innocent people. On the other hand, it would have meant Positive Rights for all people -- food, shelter, medical care.

    The most terrible thing about the HC is that mankind hasn't learned anything from it.

    It can happen again. Maybe not against Jews, but against some other minority.
    History shows us that it shows us nothing. We love to forget. :(
