Why do I have this feeling that Ijebos = DeepSight?
Deepsight is not Ijebos. Ijebos could never say anything wrong against Islam, even if he created another 30 handles.
Not because he doesn't know ior knows but because conservatives critique Islam. He can never side with conservatives, they are all vile

It is telling that only the US, Israel and Argentina voted against it.
Argentina has a lot of unanswered questions about where their black slaves went. There are claims they were sent to the front lines the way King David sent Uriah the Hitite to the fronlines after impregnating his wife Bethsheba.
America and Israel know this is the usual UN bashing by Muslims to cover up their role in the slave trade.
Most Europeans don't have oil plus their cultural enrichment efforts to obtain the Muslim vote at home means they abstained

That's enough for today from me.

They can do a lot with it.
Drop the double standards.

So typical of Trumpists.
They can barbeque it, that money is not going onto rockets . As happened under Obama.
Iran better surrender and negotiate their way out, the US is not running out of bombs and missiles any time soon if ever. Their infrastructure is being degraded.
Trump yesterday said they have 3500 targets left, after hitting 10000. These are key targets identified before the onset, there are still a lot more opportune targets that crop up by the minute.

The worse thing any war-time President can do is to hand the enemy an economic advantage during a war......

If you never knew this is the exact definition and intention of term TREASON.....


but you all are blabbing non-stop about how Obama handed them money during peace times. BS that's not even true.
So there should be no Iran oil. 90% goes to China. If it won't go there Chinese will be forced to bid for higher prices from other nations driving the global prices up.

The point for me is the double standards on any measure that leads to them having more cash - especially during a war with the US.
And oh, have you seen Trumps 15 points for peace?

Its a replica of the JCPOA.

So go figure.
.what will they do with the money now. They can as well barbeque the money and eat it because they won't be building any missile factory above the ground. And that's the essence of the campaign. Destroy their capabilities for decades.

The point is that clown keeps bleating that Obama dashed them money (when he didnt) - and yet he can ignore Trump lifting sanction on them which provide them with resources during a war with the US.
Fact. Obama sent them $400 million in cash pallets using foreign currencies ,them later added $1.3 Billion. Details of how this figure was arrived at were hidden.

Obama also gave them access to their money , when he could have struck them . They used the money to develop those capabilities in play now.
His jpcoa deal did nothing to stop them having a nuclear bomb. They were only to behave for 8-10 years , the way hudna treaties are negotiated by Muslims when they are weak. Iran didn't even wait for ink to dry on paper before they started test firing their ballistic missiles.
By August 2010 IDF had finalized plans to take out the Bushehr nuclear reactor before they could load the uranium rods. Obama prevailed upon Israel not to attack.
The rest is as they say is History
Trump is doing the opposite. Blowing up their missile factories , enrichment facilities to make sure they never develop nuclear capabilities. He wants their 400 kg of 60% HEU whose purpose only is to enrich to 90% for the bomb.

You are a clown.

Trump and Bessent last week lifted sanctions on Iranian Oil.......something that has not been done by any President since 1996 and furthermore in 2012.

These sanctions are set to earn Iran over $14bn dollars, which will now go into the development of more hypersonic missiles which the US has no defence against.

Hehehe. A departure from handing them money 🤑


This is Trump's fix. You are the sl0w.3st, most uninformed Trump supporter on here I swear.
He lifted to sanctions to allow 38 million barrels enter the market instead of sitting in oil tankers.
That's 2 days of oil that transits through Hormuz.
Additionally upto 140 million barrels will be released over a 30 day period
IEA has also approved release of 400 million barrels .

Prices go up when demand exceeds supply, economics 101.

The founder was a terrible fella regrettably.
The foundation of Islam is based on slavery.
All ME countries voted for the resolution apart from Israel . They laser focus on who bought their slaves ignoring they captured, sold and enslaved more than the Western nations.
African nations looking for a chance to sue the western joined in on the resolution.

So that's what I'm saying. The worst culprits get to hide their hideous role and refocus their attention on the west , who actually stopped their trade.. after hundreds of years.
The Arabs still have ongoing slavery today .
But don't forget the UN has a block of 57 (+1) Muslim majority nations that vote as a block. The OIC. They control 25-35% of global oil output , they can crush other countries economies through the oil. A motion supported by the OIC will usually have at least 120 /193 states aligning with them on many issues.

Zanzibar off the off the coast of Tanzania had a slave market.

Let me add (mainly for the benefit of ono and TV01) that the NT ALSO ADVOCATES SLAVERY.
In these two diabolical and insidious verses, it seeks to reach into the minds of slaves and convince them to sincerely accept slavery even in their spirits.

Ephesians 6:5 "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as to Christ;"

Colossians 3:22 "Slaves, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord."
The people in the Bible had slaves. Did they have slave markets?

Secondly you know very well that I agree with the bold.

I only pointed out that the OT advocates same. Did I do wrong by quoting scripture?
I remain a simple and humble soul.
Okay . If you agree that's it. I'll leave it at that, for it explains the slave trade , those Middle East harems needed constant supply of women and girls from all over for 1300 years.
Besides territorial expansion and forcibly spreading Islam , slavery and war booty was a huge component too.

Thanks TV01.

You should try to understand at my reasons for using the word “evolve” in this context. Don’t get me wrong, I fully understand the points you raised, but when you’re dealing with people who are not of the faith, we use an approach well suited to their needs - without losing the desired impact.

DeepSight is comparing Christianity to an archaic, violent and most likely a false religion (based on many of the evidences presented) called Islam. Now, Christianity is a lot much older than Islam. Islam came to the world in the 6th to 7th century AD and quickly gained adherents largely by force of arms.

Anyways, in my response to DeepSight quoting verses related to slavery and stuff from Deuteronomy and other books, it’s important to note that all the things quoted in those books are not practised by Christians today. Those instructions were even meant for the Hebrews - the children of Israel.

You can’t deny that many of the Christian practices of the Middle Ages by Catholics and even some Protestant Christians have all given way to the voice of reason and knowledge and the overwhelming influence of the Holy Spirit, something Islam has been unable to achieve and get their adherents to rid themselves of. In fact, as basilico pointed out in one of his entries, a female Muslim professor was seen encouraging Islam adherents to practice slavery and take women of their captors as goods to be sold or something like that.

Now speaking to what you probably are thinking, we know that:

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness 2 Timothy 3:16 KJV - but this is not the time to dwell on this bit of the scripture.
Muslim and their apologists usually deny everything bad direct from their books or mouths. When it's pointed out they demand full context. When that's done they ask if it's in Arabic. If in Arabic they say it must be in classical Arabic ( dialect spoken by their prophet).
If it was a classical Arabic speaker, they claim the videos are wrongly translated.
Further they can claim only 5 hadeeth books are authentic: Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawood, Sunan al-Nasa'i and Sunan al-Tirmidhi
When it's from one of they demand only verses from the Quran calling those authentic books as corrupted

After that they bring up numerous old testament verses , after which you spend the next few hours discussing the bible ......

To be clear there are similar teachings in the Old Testament.

Deuteronomy 21:10–14
"When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the Lord thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive, And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife; Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails; And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let he r go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou thou hast humbled her."

Numbers 31:15–18
"And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord. Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves."

Deuteronomy 20:13–14
"And when the Lord thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the Lord thy God hath given thee."

Judges 21:20–23
"Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards; And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin... And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.
Nonsense. Where did I mention the bible?
I brought this up in relation to 1300 years Arab slave trade especially of women and girls
Bring up the bible whenever islam is portrayed in bad light ysca well known , tried and tested Muslims and apologists use as a red herring. To change the debate and dwell in irrelevancues. It's a logical fallacy known as "Tu quoque,[a".

Sorry, wont work with me. Arab slave traders captured woman and girls for their harems.

But then, I am not interested in reparations. Rather, I prefer equal opportunity for both black and white people
The first slave to the Americas was reported in 1619. Portuguese had brought some as early as 1500s

The leader of the UK Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, says Britain should have voted against the UN resolution, which described slavery as the greatest crime against humanity and demanded slavery reparations from former colonial authorities. The UK, along with 51 other mostly European countries, abstained. In a post on X, Badenoch criticized the UK government, saying the resolution could lead to "trillions in reparations from UK taxpayers" and questioning why Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s representative did not oppose it. She argued that Britain should not pay reparations, insisting "Britain led the fight to end slavery." The resolution, which was introduced by Ghana, urges the creation of a global reparations fund and calls on nations to acknowledge and apologize for their role in the transatlantic slave trade. #DWAfrica

Mansa Musa is reputed to be the worlds wealthiest person in history as ruler of Mali. He had vast gold and salt supplying half the world's demand. He also captured and sold slaves. The Mali empire served as a major hub ,a selling point for slaves to Middle East and North America.

Grok excerpt.
The Hajj Caravan: For his famous 1324 pilgrimage to Mecca, Mansa Musa traveled with an entourage of roughly 60,000 people, which included an estimated 12,000 enslaved people.

America's foreign policy remains the same and that is simply to retain the number one spot in everything in the world. They may play internal politics and blame game just to win elections, but it hasn't changed since inception.
I agree, America is the most powerful country and seek maintain that dominance.

The actions of Trump is not about whether Biden or others are responsible for the war in Ukraine, no, it is just simply because he is either a Russian agent or a self centered individual. The actions are just too obvious for a discerning mind and going with the fact that he is more likely to be a Russian agent seems more plausible.
Lies. You can say he wants the Nobel prize for stopping the war ,which is true. If it wasn't for Biden the war would never have started.

He may not be direct with it but no matter how self centered you are, you can't treat America's allies the way Trump has treated them. That is one, Tulsi gabbard stopped the sharing of intelligence on Russia with the five eyes security alliance, exposed a CIA undercover agent and lots more.
Those allies are the ones impeeding any cease-fire efforts, promising Zelensky everything including boots on the ground. They messed up and they are doubling down .They wanted Ukraine to come under their control via EU. Start from 2014 Maidan Revolution.

These are very serious actions that point to Trump being more of a Russian agent than just isolating America.
Selling the Russia hoax ,created by Hillary Clinton, pushed by FBI,investigated by Robert Mueller with no evidence of Russia collusion found. None at all. Trump is not a Russian puppet ,which is a campaign lie by democrats.

If Biden were president, there is a 99% chance that America would not be at war with Iran right now. Biden may be slow, but is actually a very much more diplomatic president and knows how to keep allies.
Biden was profiting personally from the war , he actually didn't run the show . Link reported yesterday.

https://justthenews.com/government/security/nsa-intercepted-ukraine-government-messages-discussing-effort-route-money-2024



Regarding Ukraine, it remains a fact that Zelensky complains so much about Biden presidency because even most of the weapons promised Ukraine during Biden's presidency were never delivered or delivered too late. So, how does a president you claim is stoking the war in Ukraine drags his feet when it is time to deliver the necessary weapons.
Zelensky wanted Tomahawks and other long range missiles to hit Moscow which is a redline for Putin. Many in congress wanted the war , including staunch republicans like Lindsey Graham. Whether they are getting kickbacks or not will one day be known.

Meanwhile IRGC vehicles attacked by so Iranian civilians group.

Iranian Freedom Fighters Strike Back: Anti-Regime Unit Ambush Kills IRGC Thugs in Isfahan Province.

In a bold blow against the mullahs' terror machine, anti-regime fighters ambushed several security vehicles in Nushabad, central Iran's Isfahan Province, taking out Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces on the spot.

Video from the scene shows armed men opening fire on regime pickups in a dusty street clash, with gunfire echoing as the attackers press the assault. This comes as Iran's oppressive regime reels from recent U.S. and Israeli strikes that hammered IRGC sites and commanders across the country, exposing the weakness of the ayatollahs' enforcers.

The IRGC and its Basij militias have spent years gunning down unarmed protesters, crushing dissent, and exporting chaos abroad. Now, with the regime battered externally, brave Iranians are hitting back internally—signaling the long-overdue crumbling of this backward theocracy.

The mullahs' days of unchecked brutality may finally be numbered.
