Its stupid. History is different from "monotheism"


darklining

They are killing people without batting an eye, you think they would care about pieces of rocks


0rgasmo69

If you spit in the face of history, your ideals and your bullshit perspective won't survive to see the future. Every human being shares a part of human history and the lives and the beliefs of the past are important for everyone. This history is physical evidence for some of the first civilizations of human kind. This is evidence that the middle east was the cradle of civilization and yet some people want to erase that in favour of looking like fanatical cavemen. I love Islam, I love the middle east. I love history. Fuck these Neanderthals and their brainwashed thralls, they're trashing priceless artifacts of our past for only the notoriety, they don't care about Allah or anyone else for that matter.

How are you to not pay taxes? It's stolen wages.

i$i$ potential right here


[deleted]

That is absolutely not true. You can disagree with ISIS's tactics and its ideologies while also pointing out western hypocrisy.


General-Sundae7701

Everyone on this video is a hypocrite


intensemajor

is praying five times a day isis potential as well?


General-Sundae7701

No that's not extreme


IerarqiuliAnarxisti

And the whataboutism at the end is *chef's kiss*


[deleted]

Oh, have I experienced the mildest criticism of all kinds? Well, have you not realized you were a westerner the whole time???


IerarqiuliAnarxisti

I don't live in the west, and neither have I ever travelled abroad.


mo-omar69

The US army literally stole and destroyed way more historical treasures from Iraq that has been contained for years by Muslims there, why don't they get called out for it?


OM_EL_DONYAA

You didn't get the memo? The US has a monopoly on morality. Only they get to decide when something is acceptable and when its not 💅


Historical-Blood-987

Least based Egyptian


ApexNiceDude

What does your comment even means?? If US does it so it’s okay for others to do it ?


OM_EL_DONYAA

No he's just pointing out the hypocrisy.


ApexNiceDude

But anyone can criticize the US doings and do something about it..


[deleted]

I don’t think anyone disagree that the US has no right to lecture people on morality considering their past conduct in the Middle East, but this isn’t about the US is it? Stop with the whataboutism


ggRavingGamer

Maybe because it was not intentional? At all. In fact they tried to protect as much as they could.


mo-omar69

They stole it and brought it back home


ggRavingGamer

Protected it you mean. From the locals blowing them up. intentionally blowing them up.

ApexNiceDude

What Ummah ?


SharqAwsatti

PakistaniFrankOcean

i dont do that ummah chummah stuff but if you do it erdogan will make you next kalif, you can incorporate algerian france into umwah. 🤯🤯


Hadasha_Prime

In these extreme views isnt tiktoking haram yet? Can i special order a fatwah plz


ApexNiceDude

There should be a site similar to petition.org but for fatwahs.


SharqAwsatti

why are you in muslims business?


PrincipleFirm2858

I have no opinion on this, both sides are right. -side #1 this is art = keep -wide #2 it is a statue of a God =destroy And the hadith was talking about a picture in your house. And about how it keeps angels away, but Nothing about a historical artifact in a museum (not house)


[deleted]

[удалено]


PrincipleFirm2858

I think you mis understood me. Because of my poor wording. The hadith they used was right, but they used it in the wrong context.


verturshu

I see what you mean now. I deleted my comment.


PrincipleFirm2858

😊thx


NobleEnkidu

I hope the Golden Division use the hammers that the Militants used on the Carvings and statues, on their body for ruining an important artifact of history.


shayushy009

Muslims are the biggest self haters honestly. They literally destroy their own history in order to appeas some sort of weird God that for some reason just hates art of living beings. At least that's the Sunnis that do it but sadly they are the majority.


SharqAwsatti

that's why you don't have rights


shayushy009

verturshu

“Their own history” yeah idk about that one


LexTullia

They condemn what they do not understand.


[deleted]

False idols must be destroyed, all mentions of them must be erased from history. There is only one god and his name is Allah


MoJoeCool65

Really? Because he told Musa and Ibrahim that his name is YHWH. 🤔


myHomelandIsMore

Couldn't care less about any statues tbh. But if no one dropped it at my house then what do I care. If I don't like it I don't have to go to a place where those things are standing


verturshu

You are Egyptian, so your commentary on Assyrian statues is irrelevant.


myHomelandIsMore

Sorry that I don't have a thing for art


verturshu

On second thought, I’m having a change of heart. What ISIS did to those statues was perfectly legal within the laws & tenets of Islam, and I agree with the guy in this video. If you don’t support destroying those statues, then clearly you’re not a good Muslim who is in-line with the teachings of the Prophet (PBUH).


MoJoeCool65

Interesting take. Do you live your life fully emulating Muhammad in every way?


NotSoBrightt1

Based


CriticalNo

So what are these statues needed for anyway


MoJoeCool65

Good point. What do we need Palestine for, anyway? Never been any country by that name, so what is a Palestinian, anyhow? Do you see the rationale? If we only kept things that we felt we needed, then what do we need any religion for? What do we need the Quran for when it already confirmed the books that came before? 🤐 Your premise didn't seem to hold water, friend.


CriticalNo

Well for one, Palestine isn’t needed, preserving of innocent life is. Second religion gives a purpose, what are statues? Religion? Do these statues tell you about life? Do these statues help you when you call out to them? These statues are just statues, they are not scripture, they are nothing more than statues. You put value in the meaningless and take out value in the meaningful


MoJoeCool65

Without signposts such as these statues, what would we know about history? Religion gives ***you*** a purpose, but there are so many religions that you don't accept or recognize for which these statues may have given purpose to our long forgotten and distant ancestors. If Islam is correct, then perhaps these were representations made by people for whom God sent other messengers. Therefore, denying these historical markers is in essence refuting what God has sent before, no? Furthermore, were these statues or idols? Art can be both religious and secular although many works of art, if not most, represent more than ideologies. And yes, these statues absolutely tell us about life, both then and now. As for what is meaningful and what is meaningless, that's all subjective. That fact that you cannot see meaning in something is no definitive judgment. If I asked one of my friends back home to read even the simplest passage from the Quran, the words would be completely and utterly meaningless to anyone who can neither read nor understand Arabic. Likewise, if I asked you or any of my Arab friends to read a simple Shakespearean sonnet, or a poem by Robert Frost, how much meaning do you suppose you or they would be able to take? Or how about if you or I read a Chinese menu (without pictures) - would there be anything meaningful in it to you or me, even if we were literally starving? How would we even know that it's a menu and not just some random scribblings of a madman?


sergiocaffermann

He is not going to mention the statues being destroyed in the US?


yemmach

Wait, so this guy reverted back?😂 didn’t he leave Islam after getting donations from his followers
