| The gist of this board is much more to my liking than game-oriented boards, as I'm yer basic political pundit/debater. Insofar as I'm also an atheist, you can expect that I'll have opinions about the misbegotten mixture of religion and state, as well as other religiopolitical matters.
WARNING: I am capable of arguing the part of Devil's Advocate, and it would be a mistake to call me self-contradictory in the event I should choose to argue the other side. I'm a point-counterpoint type of person and prefer debate on the basis of point-counterpoint, as opposed to ad hominem, as ad hominems prove nothing and support no position. | |

As for Lucifer, I didn't mean literally. "Devil's Advocate" is a debate position, ha. | |

| Hi. Ya know, come to think of it, a person who can argue both sides of a point often comes off looking schitzophrenic. I expect to do well here. | |

| Hi, and thank you. Just noticed the links in your sig, and I'm wondering why Umma Forum isn't among them. Either you're not aware of them, or you've had just as much trouble with spam from them as I have, ha.
I've rarely posted over there (different name) but I do occasionally just read what's posted. Ditto for the Israel Forum (Zionist). | |

| Ummah Forum, I am a member of, but don't go to. I do go to a lot of Muslim forums though. To break it down. Semiotic is my forum. Islamic Content is my [neglected] Islamic blog. Islam Informer are small Islamic Forums. I'm trying to help the little guys. And Fight For Truth is a blog an online friend is involved in that I believe sends a good message. Tell me about your view on Zionism and Israel/Palestine if you could? Not meaning to open a can of worms. Just wondering. | |

| As you well know, Zionism IS a can of worms no matter how you approach the subject.....oh my.....where to begin?
I suppose I should begin by pointing out that I am an atheist and as such am against any manner of undue religious influence in state. For that reason I have a problem with Zionism, but also Muslim states as such, and having more admiration for Turkey's secular government when it comes to nations whose people are predominantly Muslim. On the other hand, I was totally against the dictatorship of Shah Pahlavi because it was, well, a dictatorship (and a brutal one at that).
I am an amateur historian, but am very wary of what sources I read on matters concerning the Middle East in general; Zionist Jews will knee-jerk proclaim me as "anti-semitic" while at the same time I will be proclaimed "orientalist" by Muslims. Adding to this situation are my sources of information which I DO accept as valid, after much cross-referencing. These are primarily books which are out of print, can't be found online unless the Gutenberg Project has put them there, and there's no way I can provide links to back up my statements. Adding to that problem is the fact that I never take a single source as a "gospel authority" on any given matter, as I prefer to cross-reference other sources to doublecheck validity.
And so we arrive at what I know about Theodor Herzl, founder of Zionism, the history of the Ottoman Empire before its fall in World War I (The Great War), the Balfour Declaration, etc. in considerable pre-Anti-Defamation League detail. I have arrived at the conclusion that Zionism is a case of religion-based European version of Manifest Destiny which is attempting a Middle Eastern version of Trail of Tears against the indigenous. | |
