You either don't know what the oyo mesi is, or u don't know what democracy is

I didn't say ritual killing is ok...why don't u understand basic 1 English?
I said at that time it was moral to use slaves and criminals for all kinds of sacrifice, blood and service

Go ask people who perform female circumcision, I am nt ur guy for that

I know this game. It's called "say anything, no matter how crazy so long as it helps you, in your mind, win an arguement". I'm not used to the game. I've heard people play it well on NL. Will like to learn though.

Hmmm, powerful, conspiratory, what a word, saying the true fact about my history has become conspiratory.
One of my uncle went to korea for like 15 days, he came back using fork to eat garri/eba, my mum asked him if he had chinese chop-stick, he answered yes, it was better for him to use the chop-stick instead of a fork.
sister why not just be yourself and use "evil" instead of that long word "conspiratory"?

anyway, have you counted the number of black people on this earth? google it, it can be less as i said, but not one more. That is the science of a blackman. 1 billion 8 million is the most balanced number, it is a sacred (not religious) number. You are not a mistake, no black baby left to die on the dump is a mistake. That is how technological advance the blackman can be. count if you doubt me.

then we may go into details of why we are like this. The op is doing a great job(because it is time), if your sympathy for the white race is so much, join their army.
can you explain the excessive accomolations of weapons by the non-blacks on this planet? why? for what? they are greedy, they can't nuke the themselves. ask questions, it is the beginning of knowledge.

12ema:


As i said conspiratory theorist. No mention of how this great advancements have miraculously eluded the black race so far. And by the way, Mr jenkings ain't poor, old and senile yes, but definitely not poor.

Read about Constantine the roman emperor after nero who made Christianity the official religion of the Roman empire!

After how many years.

The point is Europe was never Christian first. In fact, we might have to ask Paul where he got the religion from because it is alien to Jesus (AS) and his disciples. Topic for another place and time.

Black people come in different hues and different features, they must not all look like lupita nyongo!

This is one of the ways the whites use to rewrite black history, by creating a monolithic image of how blacks should look, while at the same time wanting us to believe that the Scandinavians and the Italians are of the same stock, despite obvious morphological differences between them.

Exactly. Just as the Italians, English, Irish, French, etc. have similar but distinct looks, a continuum in the gene variation of caucasoids, so do black people come in different shades and colour.

1, agreed charles Martel is one of the men who slowed down the Turkic and moorish invasion. 2,now you're the one who has to learn history. Muhammad was dead by the time of the clash with Byzantium which took place after the ridda wars, how were they then defending Muhammad?? in addition they under Caliph umar laid siege to Syria and Persia, they were the attackers not the defensive.
Re: When Black Men Ruled Europe: The Moors Of Spain by gatiano(m): 11:03pm On Mar 07, 2015
We mean you too. Moor or Muur simply means black. Have you read the Quran before? You would always read the pronoun "WE" to represent GOD. Yes sister, That is all us (we are wonderful right?), The ancient of days. "Let US make man in OUR image and likeness", I am not messing around, We simply do not have the time for it. That was us(we made man in our own image), and we gave them dominion, to rules, but the emperor of the earth and the entire universe is "US". We brought them in, we can also take them out, which we did already, we took out the dinoseurs.
According to Africans, "to know is to be, to learn about something, you have to be that thing, experiencing it, not literally in the sense".

Now, have you seen most of the ancient african artifacts dating back to almost 15,000 years? they won't have been possible without the use of electricity or some machine. dig a little, the truth is out for all to see.

as per the tech advancement, you would see it, it is a promise. just do what you do and do it well. and be fuuuuuuucking proud of yourself and your ancestors.

Lmao @Fulani. There was no Fulani at that point in history, mate. There were Wolofs, Mande, Hausas, Songhai etc.. Stop trying to throw Fulanis where they never existed. Even up the 17th century - the so-called "Fulanis" were mostly slaves.

Also, no one can point to the real origins of Fulanis and where they came from. But the closest has to be an admixture between Wolofs and something else. undecided

Now you have to learn real history, Charles Martel slowed the Arab and Moors advance into Europe. By then the Turks were just getting into Islam, they weren't superpowers by then. The battle of ridda was during the Caliphate of Abubakr, this battle had nothing to do with the Byzantines. The battle in which Muslims fought against the Byzantines during the life of Prophet Muhammad was the "Battle of Mutah", the battle's location is modern day Jordan!

The Byzantines numbered up to 100,000 and Muslims were 30,000. In this battle, three Muslim commanders died, but Khalid ibn Al-Walid took charge and the Muslims won the battle. NOTE: this battle was during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad.

Muslims then defeated the Byzantines finally during the time of the superb Caliph Umar Ibn al-Khattab, that was when Jerusalem was captured!

Research the previous aggressions of the Persian king, the Persians fought against Muslims! My assignment for you is to research well enough!

"The beliefs of Arian christianity is the irrelevant to the discourse, the point of stating their beliefs is to show that just like how flawed and one-sided the European narrative about Africa was/is, these people had a system of beliefs and a way of life too, the attackers came to disrupt that.
Now the Arians just like the Zoroastrians believe in one God but they do not believe the God sent any message to an arab called Muhammad or in hajj, or in your form of salat so you're shooting yourself in the leg by drawing such a parallel.
Now concerning dhimmi___ "Institutionalized apartheid. In Shari'a law, there are
official discriminations against the Dhimmi, such as the
poll-tax or jizya." " Payment of the jizya obligated Muslim authorities to
protect dhimmis in civil and military matters. Sura 9
( At-Tawba ), verse 29 stipulates that jizya be exacted
from non-Muslims as a condition required for jihad to
cease. Failure to pay the jizya could result in the
pledge of protection of a dhimmi's life and property
becoming void, with the dhimmi facing the alternatives
of conversion, enslavement, death or imprisonment, as
advocated by Abu Yusuf, the chief qadi , or religious
judge, of Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid who ruled
over much of modern day Iraq ."____

This is just one example and it is clearly a ludicrous where someone pays you to not attack him/her and you're still considered merciful or benevolent and then there is the issue of the other restrictions on worship.
Agreed. For a long oppressed tribe it is true the jews had it better under Ottoman rule. Now to my question, would you live under such conditions if the tables were turned?

"The Arab–Byzantine wars were a series of wars
between the mostly Arab Muslims and the East Roman
or Byzantine Empire between the 7th and 11th
centuries AD. Started during the initial Muslim
conquests under the expansionist Rashidun and
Umayyad caliphs in the 7th century and continued by
their successors until the mid-11th century." " During the first centuries, the Byzantines were usually
in the defensive, and avoided open field battles,
preferring to retreat to their fortified strongholds. Only
after 740 did they begin to launch counterstrikes of
their own, but still the Abbasid Empire was able to
retaliate with often massive and destructive invasions
of Asia Minor." " The eruption of the Arabs from the Arab Peninsula in
the 630s resulted in the rapid loss of Byzantium's
southern provinces ( Syria and Egypt) to the Muslims.
Over the next fifty years, under the aggressive
Umayyad caliphs, the Muslims would launch repeated
raids into still-Byzantine Asia Minor , twice threaten
the Byzantine capital, Constantinople, with conquest,
and outright conquer the Byzantine Exarchate of
Africa . " " According to Muslim biographies, Muhammed, having
received intelligence that Byzantine forces were
concentrating in northern Arabia with alleged
intentions of invading Arabia, led a Muslim army north
to Tabouk in present-day northwestern Saudi Arabia ,
with the intention of pre-emptively engaging the
Byzantine army; the news, however, proved to be
false. Though it was not a battle in the typical sense,
nevertheless the event represented the first Arab
attack on the Byzantines. It did not, however, lead
immediately to a military confrontation. [8]" " The first engagements
may have started as conflicts with the Arab client
states of the Byzantine and Sassanid empires: the
Ghassanids and the Lakhmids of Al-Hirah . In any
case, Muslim Arabs after 634 certainly pursued a full-
blown invasion of both empires, resulting in the
conquest of the Levant , Egypt and Persia for Islam"____culled from Wikipedia THIS INDEED SHOWS WHO WERE THE AGGRESSORS. There was no defending Muhammad here.

The europeans don't know anything past 4000 years ago. everything they say about history is pure guessing, they don't even know their own beginning, few of them in the rosicrusian and the theosophical secret societies know their beginning, it is full of shame, so they hide it, but Blackman knows everything. Blackman and Blackwoman know everything about the universe in its entirety.

I am very delighted and happy to know that you have desisted from applying corrosive chemicals on your body, never do it ever again. against dry skin, you may use natural and ordinary cream. If you need to use attachment on your head, never use another person's hair.

You can never imagine how beautiful the Blackwoman was, i do not mean beauty of inside, but beauty of her physical appearances was graceful and magnificent, fine pretty upturned black eyes surrounded by clear white. They were the woman white and other races wished for, but they never got the full of it anyway. The beauty of the Blackwoman would return, so will her vigour and strength, it has already began!

We had the purest form of electricity, not the harmful one that was given to this world to manage. world does not mean the planet, it means a people and the bible already told us not to be a lover of this world (whiteman's world), this world is over already.
we had the purest form, The one of the function of the pyramids is electri generation, with the obeliks as its antenna and distribute the light energy. as you can see, the obeliks were stolen, all of them can be found in the capital cities of the major ruling countries of this world. we made pyramids all about the universe.
Just because we made electricity, does not mean we used it uselessly, we had fun, we don't play as this world is a world of play. It was a benefit to go to the farm to put our body to work, we needed not the gym machines, and we did not eat excessively, the weakest amongst us would eat once in 24 hours, and there were a lot that ate once in 5 to 7 days. thus we had a very long life and we died willingly and consciously at the very ripe age of not less than ......(to be discussed later when you are ready).

what then happen to us? some said we went conturary to GOD's word, we did, but we did so on purpose and it was not a sin but for a purpose.
The moment you understand the purpose, then life becomes just easy, it will become an experience, you become both the earth and the universe. there is nothing that hits the earth, that the earth can't take, and there is nothing that enters the universe, that the universe won't cover.

at some place in the bible, revelations; it was written there about the 24 Elders. They surrounded a throne which is described as lightening.
Who is on that throne and who are these 24 Elders? The white man had gon over his head to paint them white.

The bigbang theory is a fake meaning of what actually happened, The Black people are not destructive. they used it to hide the main fact.
The Kogi people of Nigeria described it best, They said the universe appeared from a wave of oceans. If i should put your heart beat on a screen, all i would see is waves. ocean means a lot of them, You , me and all the black people of the universe.
In divine unity, but of our individual self, we appeared from the last universe, when the last universe completed its end, we made a new one which is this one, as we will make the next and the next, thus we have no beginning and we have no ending but are eternal beings. Meaning, you are the same spirit that existed then, just with Jesus, and the spirit that would exist forever, You reincarnate all the time but with a unique soul and physical body (new) all the time. This is what Jesus taught us.
we appeared 1 billion 8 million black people, 504 million blackmen, 504 million blackwomen. Man is equal to Woman(there is no boss). We Blackpeople as one body in unity is that who is on the throne.
We decided what we want this universe to be, its timetable and it curriculum. We then choose from amongst us who is going to takecare of the divine unity. it will one day come to your turn or may have been, and would again. We choose 12. A man is not complete without a woman, Thus we have 12 men or women with each of their complement making 24 elders of 12 couples. One from amongst them would be the leader for 25000 years, after which the next will be a Woman, This is who we call GOD, or ALLAH. The 24 elders are the eldest almost aging to the age of 700,000 years old. The blackman can determine when he dies, signed by GOD, it all depends on how you live and what you eat. when one passes on, another joins the Elders from the end, till it would reach you or me or any blackman or blackwoman.

so about our condition; Everything is contained in GOD, if there is upwards, there is also downwards. We have good, we are righteous, but inside of us to lie evil, we know of it, but GOD must experiences everything thus "to know is to be and to learn of a thing is to be that thing".
We could not do bad, we couldn't just do it ourselves no matter how hard we tried.
In the blackman or blackwoman contains to germs, The black germ(the dorminant gene) and the brown germ(the recessive gene), our brown gene was so deep down under the black gene. so we could not perpertrate evil by ourselves, we had to degenerate ourselves which took 44,000 years, this process resulted in the making of both atlantis and lemuria (lemuuria or lemooria) civilizations. some moved into the jungles of asia and africa. we degenerated our bodies, thus the brown germ was able to show face a little bit, yet we couldn't do evil. later inspiration entered a Man named Yakub. he said we need to check out evil, it may be good, the rest looked at him and said, why would you want to leave this perfect civilization and create chaos? he said i know what you know not. thus we called him "satan" unknown to us and him too, since the Elders knew what is to be, they allowed him. and from our brown germ, all the other races were made, it took 666 years to complete. Yakub(satan) passed away, as he ascended, he knew all was inspirational from the Elders, so he was called YAHWEH, with his 59,999 helpers we call angels together are called Eloheim.
thus this cycle is called the cycle of self-forgetfulness.
remember AMI OLORUN? IF YOU ARE YORUBA, YOU SHOULD REMEMBER THAT WHEN WE NOTICE A BLACK SPOT WE BECOME VERY HAPPY WHEN WE WERE CHILDREN.

attack on the Byzantines. It did not, however, lead
immediately to a military confrontation. [8]" " The first engagements
may have started as conflicts with the Arab client
states of the Byzantine and Sassanid empires: the
Ghassanids and the Lakhmids of Al-Hirah . In any
case, Muslim Arabs after 634 certainly pursued a full-
blown invasion of both empires, resulting in the
conquest of the Levant , Egypt and Persia for Islam"____culled from Wikipedia THIS INDEED SHOWS WHO WERE THE AGGRESSORS. There was no defending Muhammad here.
Lmao!!!! You quoted from Wikipedia but didn't quote in full!!! !

"Muslim historians say that the immediate impetus for a military march north was the mistreatment of emissaries. Muhammad is said to have sent emissaries to the nomadic Banu Sulaym and Dhat al Talh tribes of the north (tribes under the protection of the Byzantines). The emissaries were killed. The expedition sent for revenge was the largest Muslim army raised yet against a non-Meccan confederate force and the first to confront the Byzantines.

According to F. Buhl, another possible reason "seems to have been that he wished to bring the Arabs living there under his control."

According to later Muslim historians, Muhammad dispatched 3,000 of his troops to the area in Jumada al-awwal of the year 8 A.H., i.e., A.D. 629, for a quick expedition to attack and punish the tribes. The army was led by Zayd ibn Haritha; the second-in-command was Jafar ibn Abi Talib and the third-in-command was Abdullah ibn Ramadan. The leader of the Ghassanids is said to have received word of the expedition and prepared his forces; he also sent to the Byzantines for aid. Muslim historians report that the Byzantine emperor Heraclius gathered an army and hurried to the aid of his Arab allies. Other sources say that the leader was the emperor's brother, Theodorus.

When the Muslim troops arrived at the area to the east of Jordan and learnt of the size of the Byzantine army, they wanted to wait and send for reinforcements from Medina. Abdullah ibn Rawahah reminded them about their desire for martyrdom and questioned the move to wait when what they desire was awaiting them, so they continued marching towards the waiting army." - - - http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mu'tah


From the above, one can conclude that Prophet Muhammad sent emissaries to Ghassanids who were allies to the Byzantines. The emissaries were killed and the Prophet wanted to punish the Ghassanids, but when the Ghassanids heard of the Muslims coming, they immediately consulted the Byzantines to come to their aide. The Muslims were 3,000 while the Byzantines were large!!!!

So we're the Byzantines defending themselves in this case?! please don't lie here!

MarieSucre:
"The beliefs of arian christianity is the irrelevant to the discourse, the point of stating their beliefs is to show that just the like the European narrative about Africa these people had a system of beliefs and a way of life too, the attackers actually came to disrupt that. Now the Arians just like the Zoroastrians believe in one God but they do not believe the God sent any message to an arab called Muhammad or in hajj, or in your form of salat so you're shooting yourself in the leg by drawing such a parallel.
Now concerning dhimmi___ "Institutionalized apartheid. In Shari'a law, there are
official discriminations against the Dhimmi, such as the
poll-tax or jizya." " Payment of the jizya obligated Muslim authorities to
protect dhimmis in civil and military matters. Sura 9
( At-Tawba ), verse 29 stipulates that jizya be exacted
from non-Muslims as a condition required for jihad to
cease. Failure to pay the jizya could result in the
pledge of protection of a dhimmi's life and property
becoming void, with the dhimmi facing the alternatives
of conversion, enslavement, death or imprisonment, as
advocated by Abu Yusuf, the chief qadi , or religious
judge, of Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid who ruled
over much of modern day Iraq ."____ this is just one because it is clearly ludicrous to say someone pays you to not attack him/her and you're still considered merciful or benevolent. not to talk of the other restrictions on worship. For a long oppressed tribe it is true the jews had it better under Ottoman rule. Now to my question, would you live under such conditions if the tables were turned?
Arian Christians believe that God is one, they don't believe in trinity. When I compared Muslims with Arian Christians, I don't mean they believe in an Arab Prophet but they are similar to Muslims in the sense that they believe in one God like we Muslims!!!! They are Monotheists, not trinitarians like today Christians!!!

You fail to understand the Dhimmi, a Dhimmi of course is required to pay a tax called Jizyah. This tax is paid because they don't serve in the Muslim army, the tax is paid by ONLY MEN! This serves many purpose, just like the same tax an immigrant pays today in another country. Moreover, a Muslim also pays a similar tax known as Zakat which is used for the Development of the Islamic State! Please why on earth is this wrong?! The tax is a little amount paid to the state for your protection, wellbeing and others!

"Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled." Quran 9:29

What is wrong with this verse now, so are you telling me that if there is a warfare and the people are defeated, they shouldn't pay Jizyah? That's pathetic!

I wonder where you got Abu Yusuf commanding the killing of people who refused to pay Jizyah. Let's see what Abu Yusuf has to say:-

"Abu Yusuf, the eighth century Hanafi jurist states in his Kitab al-Kharaj that jizya is mandatory on any Christian, Jew, Magian, Sabaean, or Samaritan, and no one can obtain a partial reduction. It is illegal for one to be exempted and another not, because their lives and possessions are spared only on account of the payment of the jizya.

Yusuf stated that all adult males must pay jizya, but jizya is not required from women and children.[38] The jizya tax rate was declared to be 48 dirhams every year for wealthy non-Muslims, 24 dirhams for well off, and 12 dirhams for the poor, the farmers and the manual labourers. It must be collected from anyone who has any means (income, property), even if he is a cripple, invalid, monk or blind. Jizya should be collected in cash or in kind, such as goods, beasts of burden that can be slaughtered for food, or other property. However, jizya should not be collected from those non-Muslims who have neither income nor any property, but survive by begging and from alms.

Any non-Muslim who converts to Islam shall become exempt from Jizya, stated Yusuf. However, the new convert must pay Jizya for previous years, at the time of conversion, for the period he was a non-Muslim. [/b]Yusuf stated that non-Muslims should not be beaten in order to exact payment of the jizya nor punished if they fail to pay jizya. Instead, they should arrested and put in prison till jizya has been exacted from them in full."[b]

So this is the man you accuse of commanding the killing of Dhimmis. Nevertheless, the question you threw to me, I would be happy to live because I don't serve in the army, my churches are protected, the Muslim armies protect me, I'm not persecuted(unlike some Christian States).

what have Jews contributed to civilization? Absolutely nothing
Even bees, goats and horses have contributed more to human civilization around the world than lousy Jews
Actually coming from a black man, Einstein was a jew, you can see from his pictures that his hair isn't blonde, like the typical caucasians. Please do some research first before displaying your hateful racial sentiments!

Let me teach you some history lesson, Spain was of course inhabited but not by Christians. The Islamic empire of Spain was established by one of the the Ummayyad Princes by the help of the Moors! Muslims owned Spain, but we're driven out the Christians in the 15th century. Spain and Grenada were Muslim lands, we had some scholars from Spain like ibn Hazm Al-andalus.

Sorry to break it to you man.

You've gat your history twisted. Spain was formally known as iberia, it was part of the roman empire, its monarchy were converted to Christianity. When the Roman empire fell the visgoths attack spain followed by the muslims. So sorry to bust your bubble spain was first Christian even before the islamic attacks.

When Muslims were expanding into Europe, they were stopped in France in the 8th century. The first Crusade was called by Pope Urban II about 200years later, when Muslims and Christians lived peacefully. They captured Jerusalem in 1096AD,before they captured Jerusalem they laid seige on Marra. They then entered the city and there was famine, they resulted to cannibalism, they started eating the dead bodies of Arabs(Muslims and Christians) and turks!! Are these the individuals, you should be proud of?!

The war between Muslims and the Roman empire all started when they wanted to end the Muslims during the time of Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam), you even lied when you said the Crusade was called because Muslims killed pilgrims??!! My friend the Crusaders were ones who stopped Muslim pilgrims when they(Crusaders) captured Egypt, they stop Muslims who were going to Mecca and killed all of them!

There was freedom of religion in the Muslim Jerusalem, no one was denied pilgrimage. In fact no one paid for pilgrimage, when Muslims tried to take over Christian or Jewish sites they were punished! To try to show that Muslims are the bad guys, here is a link showing modern Christians apologizing to Muslims for the Crusaders actions http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/1996/october7/6tb090.html#bmb=1
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Spain



i think you should go back to your history class, you've gat it backwards.

When muslims conquered Jerusalem rome didn't react, infact when the muslims were advancing on constantinople there was a council in florence where the greek christians asked the western Christians for military help even at that it didn't come because they said the east was pretty far from the west. Constantinople fell and there was still no reaction from the west.

Go back and read why the west reacted! There was a masacre of western Christian on their pligrimage.
