On the Phoenicians in the ancient Lebanese city of Tyre:
"Each spring, in a carefully choreographed festival called the egersis, an effigy of the god was placed on a giant raft before being ritually burnt as it drifted out to sea while hymns were sung by the assembled crowds. For the Tyrians, as for many other ancient Near eastern peoples, the emphasis fell upon the restorative properties of fire, for the god himself was not destroyed but revived by the smoke, and the burning of the effigy thus represented rebirth."
We know fire. We will rise from fire. We will burn brighter than we have before

Well considering the populations of Jews and Christians and Hindus and Zoroastrians and Druze have all declined precipitously in every "Arab" country, and especially considering the man Islam claims is the perfect messenger literally waged war and encouraged the killing of non-believers, I think it's pretty clear who's less peaceful here.
But I get that propaganda makes you feel good about the narrative you've swallowed.
@ArchonThalsian@Popstonox@grok The most loser mentality imaginable. They are not victims. Their ideology and religion calls for them to kill. You are ignorant.
I take it you're Muslim and insecure about being exposed to the first line of the entire Hamas charter. It's why they got elected actually...
"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it...there is no resolution except jihad."
Religion of peace.
@BoggisCat@MouinRabbani You support terrorist organizations that have shown, peached, and written for the past 50 years directly and 1400 years ideologically, that their intention is to kill everyone who doesn't abide by their religion.
I don't think you're mentally ill though, just an idiot.
In 2018, the Dallas Mavericks had the best draft by any team in the history of the NBA, subjecting both Luka Doncic in the 1st round and Jalen Brunson in the 2nd. If you disagree, name a better two picks.
Congrats to Brunson and the NY Knicks.
May Nico Harrison have paper cuts between his fingers till kingdom come.
@ALSHAREEF_Q515@ReemAmirIbrahim "Most advanced" and "rich from being lucky with oil" are very different. Saudi Arabia has contributed nothing to humanity (except the worst religion to ever exist).
Is it the capitalist greed or the basic human rights and freedom of economics? Islam created the worst form of politics in the modern world - Shariah, which one should honestly be ashamed of as a follower.
Paint it how you want, but it's obvious who's prosperous, and who still clings to the word of an illiterate child rapist from seventh century.
@ALSHAREEF_Q515@ReemAmirIbrahim And you still look the same, because your entire society has not progressed 1400 years, and never will. But congratulations to your women being able to drive recently, big moves!
If it wasn't for oil you would still be eating lizards.
