@SCUThePod i sound so much different lol. but yes thank you servers especially those who went through much worse then me. i only did dangerous shit after the army go figure.
@JackPosobiec The leaders are usually the one helping to facilitate that sin. The catholics in particular are proud and apparently happy that they are de-christianizing Europe for example.
If more than half of illegal aliens are on welfare, then not only should they not be here in the first place, they are a net negative to our country. Now add in all the other crime, lack of assimilation and the growing animosity to the very country they are in. Deport them all.
When Muslim Turks entered Constantinople, they rushed across the City toward the Great Church of Hagia Sophia looking for Christians.
Terrified Greek Christians fled into the churches, some hoping the Turks would respect sanctuary, others believing a prophecy that the enemy would be stopped at the Column of Constantine by an angel who would deliver the city and drive the Turks from the West.
Within an hour of the Turksโ entry the Hagia Sophia was packed with people who thought they were safe. They only made their capture easier.
The first Turks to arrive broke down the doors. Critobulus says the crowd was taken as in a drag-net. Refugees were tied or chained together. Some were dragged to the ships, others to the camp. The loot was treated the same way.
Inside the Hagia Sophia the Turks fought each other for the most beautiful women. Daughters of Byzantine noble families raised in luxury, nuns who had lived secluded from the world, were seized and subjected to violence. Their clothes were torn from them by men who refused to give up their prizes. Masters and mistresses were bound to their servants. Church dignitaries were chained to the lowest menials.
The captors drove their flocks of victims before them, lodged them under guard, and hurried back for more. Ropes, ribbons, and handkerchiefs were used to bind them. Sacred icons were torn down and burned. Altar cloths, chalices, chandeliers, carpets, and ornaments, everything valuable and portable, were carried off.
Historian Phrantzes called "the desecration of the Temple of Holy Wisdom, the Earthly Heaven and Throne of the Glory of God, the greatest misfortune of all". The other churches were plundered in the same way. Richly embroidered robes, gold-woven chasubles set with pearls and precious stones, and church furniture were seized. Ornaments were ripped off and the rest thrown aside. A crucifix was carried in mock procession topped with a Janissaryโs cap.
Historian Critobulus records that holy books, works of philosophy, and treatises on the sciences were thrown into the fire, trampled underfoot, or sold in mockery for two or three pence or even farthings. Historian Ducas says the Turkish ships carried an innumerable quantity of books. For a small coin ten volumes of Plato, Aristotle, and theology could be bought.
Christian and Muslim writers agree the sack lasted three days, as Mehmed had promised. Khodja Sad-ud-din affirms that the soldiers of Islam acted according to the precept "Slaughter their aged and capture their youth." For three days and nights, with imperial permission, there was general sack. The Mohammedans seized the spoil and the damsels beautiful as houris.
Leonard states that sixty thousand captives were bound together for distribution. Critobulus, writing years later, estimated that four thousand Greeks and Italians were killed during the siege and after the capture, that five hundred of the army and upwards of fifty thousand of the rest of the population were reduced to slavery.
After the conquest, Mehmet recognised that Constantinople needed to be repeopled.
He ordered five thousand families to be sent from the provinces to the capital and commanded the repair of the walls.
Ducas states that the five thousand Greek families sent from Trebizond, Sinope, and Asprocastron under pain of death included masons and lime-burners for repairing the walls.
To attract population, Mehmet understood that he needed to conciliate the Greeks.
A few days after the conquest Mehmet ordered the captives who formed part of his own share of the booty to be established in houses on the slope toward the Golden Horn. From among the noble families he selected the young men for himself. Some he placed in the corps of Janissaries. Others, distinguished by their education, he kept near him as pages.
Mehmet published an edict within a few weeks of the capture that all former inhabitants who had paid ransom, or who were ready to enter into an agreement with their masters to pay it within a fixed period, should be considered free, allowed to live in the city, and for a time exempt from taxes. Phrantzes states that even on the third day after the capture an order was issued allowing those who had fled and were in hiding to return, promising they should not be molested. On the question whether they would still have to pay ransom, Phrantzes is silent.
A few weeks later, after his visit to Adrianople, Mehmet sent orders to various parts of his empire to despatch families of Christians, Jews, and Turks to repeople the city. He tried to allure Greeks and other workmen by employing them on public works, notably the construction of a palace, for which, Critobulus says, he had chosen the most beautiful site in the city, at Seraglio Point, the construction of the fortress of the Seven Towers around the Golden Gate, and the repairs of the Inner Wall. He ordered the Turks to allow their slaves to take part in this work so that they might earn money not only to live but to save enough for their ransom.

They'll call you racist for noticing this & for pronouncing his name, but on election night after he wins, he'll pronounce his full name in an accent he never spoke in during the campaign & explain how he represents his stupid ass 3rd world grudge, instead of Pennsylvania
@RepThomasMassie@SecWar You are effectively working on behalf of democrats who are trying to overthrow the country in a color revolution. I want any such traitors to be treated appropriately. For now I'll just have to be satisfied that Trump drummed you out of congress. Good riddance retard.
NYC: Muslim police officers detain woman for the crime of walking her dog
Sharia will never come here or infringe upon the rights of non-Muslims, right? Yet here we see two Muslim NYPD officers stop a woman who was walking her dog. They physically restrain her and take her dog, but they cannot name any law she has actually broken.
Here it is: Islam hates dogs, and Muhammad, according to Islamic tradition, ordered them killed.

Circa 2006, a Muslim man brings the body of his daughter in a wheelbarrow to the gates of the larger FOB that supplies our outpost.
He tells the gate guards that US forces killed her accidentally when we dropped bombs on the wrong location. It happens, but not often.
Long story short, the US Military does a full investigation because we actually take this shit seriously. Our JTAC and the pilot involved are both required to cease operations and go to Kandahar (KAF) for an interview with authorities.
It takes about five or six weeks before he returns and our Commander gets the report...
The investigation found that the girl's body was burned and mutilated post mortem, that she had died from blunt force trauma to the head.
Furthermore, she was not his daughter. She was his wife. I guess there was probably about a 30yr age difference. She must've been no more than 12yrs old, from what I was told.
Finally, his homestead is near the site we dropped the ordinance on, but it was not within a dangerous proximity of the impact site. The ordinance was dropped off-target, for sure. But still hundreds of meters away from his home.
Turns out the authorities immediately involved in the whole thing could tell this was bullshit from the beginning because the girl was clearly beaten, she smelled like a wood fire and not a chemical one which would be expected with phosphorus, the bomb wasn't incendiary in any way, and the off-target drop had already been reported and inspected using GPS and they knew it hadn't destroyed his home as he'd claimed.
Still, the Commander at that base authorized thousands of dollars worth of local currency to be given to the man before he left without the body of the girl he claimed was his daughter. He literally dumped it off the road in front of the gate, which is how our guys got ahold of it and got the surgeon's opinion on her wounds.
That same guy was later captured during a raid in another location. He was working with the Taliban, and we only made the connection because he began shouting about how we killed his daughter.
Muslims cannot be trusted.
Half of the US hates you for being a Republican. Half of Republicans hate you for not doing anything and in so doing destroyed Republicans majorities. That's a full 3/4 of the country mate. Just step away you can't fix anything all you do is fuck things up. Go home. Retire. Just stop being on my screen so we can hopefully forget about you and how horrible of a job you did.
