Arabia was never a state (before Muhammad). So attacking what? Nommadic tribes? In fact, there was christian independent states on the frontier of the two empires allied with them. And if it is true there was arab states (like Yemen, e.g.), they were never attacked by bizantynes. And there was good reasons for that: the desert is of no importance, all the interest the big civilizations had there, was preventing nomadic tribes attacking their frontiers. And for that reason they created client states, that served as a buffer.  
 
iam talking about Arabia occupied/attacked/invaded by Persian Empire and the Romans.
 
northern Arabia was under Roman rule, southern Arabia was under Persian Rule.
 
i did not talk about Arabia being a State or not, nor that verse. i was commenting on your statement that Romans and Persian "never" invaded Arabia.
 
iam not sure what you mean by mohammed's Arabia, is it Arabia in general or Arabia at the time of the Prophet? Mohammed's Arabia did not change from pre-Mohammed Arabia.
 
then here you talked about pre-islamic arabia states, vassals or not vassels is irrelevant they were attacked and then became "vassals", also Yemen was under Persian occupation so was the whole coast of the gulf, in different periods of time of course.

That's your opinion, my friend, and hopefully it'll not influence your attitude as moderator. Maybe in my opinion this forum is actually too pro-arabic, and that's not necessarily bad thing, the bad thing become when this attitude harm the truth. But that doesen't matter.
And besides that, there is nothing bad in having objections in what concerns arabs or islam. The idea is having them smart and truthfully. One can having objection to jews and there is no problem in that; important is that these objections express coherently a truth.
By the way, what's your "agenda"?
 
 
it is my opinion and it will influence my attitude if you made it more obvious that you are a Racist , i advice you read or re-read this forum's Code of Conduct.
 
and this forum cant be too pro Arabic, thats it has more than 4000 registered members and less than 5 active arab members. this forum has many different nationalities and members with different believes, staff and members.
 
unless  not anti-arabic means to you a pro-arabic.
 
off course you can have your ideas and criticism about any religion and nationalities Within our LIMITS as stated in the Code of Conduct of this forum.
 
i did not say that you cant do so.

well, looking to the posts of your coreligionars and others till now, I am very surprised to learn that. Wink
And let me, please, choose what I'm looking for and what I'm not; don't be as religious people usualy are, telling others what they want and what's good for them . . .
 
well i was hinting to you if you were/are seeking an anti-arab or anti-islamic or both forums then this is not a one.
 
i did not force you nor asked you to leave nor requesting from you to do so.
 
i dont do that, if i saw its necessary not to have you hear ( and thats only when you violate this forum's rules) i wont take your opinion nor ask you to leave , you will find yourself warned or banned.
 
that was only a suggestion to you if you were seeking a "bashing" type of fourms then the net is full of them, this is not one them.
 
other than that you are welcome to be here, reading and/or contributing to this forum.
 
also just to prevent you from more "surprises", we are mostly here not history professors nor scholars, many members here contribute their information and exchange ideas.
 
you wont be punished for making an innocent ignorant false post.
 
there are rules we follow and we have a system for complaining and such, refer to all of those in the first two sub-forums for more info.

I didn't mean that I believe Muhammad was a wrong-maker, what I meant was the people who claimed that they followed him were the wrong-makers as you described and named them.
   
I am a man of science. I find my own evidences and do my own investigations and my own research. I do not need anybody to tell / guide me what to believe, how to feel and how to question. I have the brains, the education [B.S in Physics, Astrophysics and optoelectronics as minor; M.S in Computer Science, and Bullsh*t degree in business (aka MBA)]; lets say I have the necessary tools (my opinion only) and enough intelligence(my opinion only) to evaluate data in hand. 
 
Thank you for your concerns. I know I am not good at History but I am trying to learn more, especially about Middle East. And that is actually why I am here Wink .
 
 
Back to the Topic, I am not sure if Jesus will return at all. But Let's assume he will return.

From my way of thinking, if Jesus will return, people suppose to believe him without observing any physical evidence.
 
If he shows physical evidence through miracles and such, then if not everybody but the majority of the population will join him and then there will be no need to be tested in Earth as holly scriptures tell us.
This means the Judgement Day ??
 
If we suppose to find our own evidences before believing him to be the man he claims to be, the Jesus; then again people will be divided according to their beliefs.

Where do you put the frontiers of this "Arabia"? Because if thats established geographically, well, Europe is still occupied by turks now . . .

Hopefully eastern mediterranian cost and the eastern crescent is not "Arabia" . . .  When arabs commenced to conquer their empire, they made it from the desert in centre and south, not from the crescent or eastern litoral . . . even those christian arabs from north, were imigrants there . . .

 

i did not talk about Arabia being a State or not, nor that verse. i was commenting on your statement that Romans and Persian "never" invaded Arabia.

They never did it, because there was no such statality like that . . .  e.g. the westerners never "invaded" north of north America, because there never was a state to be invaded . . .  when prehistory invades history thats called "destruction of a civilization", when history extend to traditional prehistory areas, thats inclusion. That's not implying that there was not a genocide: maybe states were not there to the meeting with the whites, but human beeings undoubtedly were . . .

If really there is an exemple of arab state subdued to another statal entity, yes, thats Yemen as satrapy of Persia. Though Yemen is not exactly Muhammads Arabia, and its not Arabia in spite of proximity, not even today . . .
 

iam not sure what you mean by mohammed's Arabia, is it Arabia in general or Arabia at the time of the Prophet? Mohammed's Arabia did not change from pre-Mohammed Arabia.

 I have already said speaking of Arabia of Muhammad and his succesors; my idea was that the empire was not established by response to aggressions, but by aggressions, and thats true now as it was when I told it to my partner above. 

 

then here you talked about pre-islamic arabia states, vassals or not vassels is irrelevant they were attacked and then became "vassals", also Yemen was under Persian occupation so was the whole coast of the gulf, in different periods of time of course.

 
No, thats not true, when I was speaking of vassals I was considering the ghassanides that never were conquered by romans but miggrated from south and established their state to the frontier of the roman empire, and they were, as most herretical christians of the time peacefully converted, and of lakhmides that were not attacked by persians but they themselves attacked the empire . . .  after being defeated they become an independent client state of persans with the same role as ghassanides for romans, that is to protect the frontier from bedouin foray . . .

 You have to prove that Im a rasist, and for that, you have to know the sens of this term, fact that I begin to doubt seriously, seeing you labeling here people like that . . . Let's talk about that if you really want!

 
off course you can have your ideas and criticism about any religion and nationalities Within our LIMITS as stated in the Code of Conduct of this forum.

 I dont bother to read for now your so much-adevertised limits from CC, because I suppose they are the same as on any civilized forum. Hopefully you know what you speak about; I dont know by which criteria you was chosen to be a moderator, but I begin to be a little annoyed by yours harrassements . . .

I didn't mean that I believe Muhammad was a wrong-maker, what I meant was the people who claimed that they followed him were the wrong-makers as you described and named them.

 

But I can give you a lot of exemples that doesnt follow this statement:

 

"You shall remind, for your mission is to deliver this reminder. You have no power over them." [88:21-22]

 

I'm  repeating what already said: Muhammad had a lot of power over those that he killed heartlessly for not following his religion!

 

 

  

I am a man of science. I find my own evidences and do my own investigations and my own research. I do not need anybody to tell / guide me what to believe, how to feel and how to question. I have the brains, the education [B.S in Physics, Astrophysics and optoelectronics as minor; M.S in Computer Science, and Bullsh*t degree in business (aka MBA)]; lets say I have the necessary tools (my opinion only) and enough intelligence(my opinion only) to evaluate data in hand.

 

 
NOOOO, my friend, you are wrong!!!!!! LOL

 I tell you that as a physicist too!!!
No, having degrees in sciences, is not helping you being able to judge the problem of truthfuleness of a religion; for that, you need to have degrees or at least knowledge in logic/philosophy, in history of religion, sociology of religion, anthropology of religion, philosophy of religion, hermeneutics.
And thats revealing as being true, because is obvious you are not very good in replying my arguments . . . And I can bet you will not be better in  the proximate future either!
And thats not because Im knowing more physics than you Tongue , but because I know more history and history of religion, and sociology, than you . . . .

More than that, I can show you that your science (physics, chemistry, biology) can't give you not a single valid argument supporting the idea of existence of your god. Just try me!
 

 
 

Thank you for your concerns. I know I am not good at History but I am trying to learn more, especially about Middle East. And that is actually why I am here  .

 

I wish you all the succes, my friend! But let me give you an advice: on this forum, and maybe no other else, you cant expect to get much knowledge, all that it can make for you eventually, is giving you the appetite for study; for indivdual study in books, and thats a many-years-long action.

Second of all, that is your opinion only Smile
Third of all, I am not even discussing the truthfulness of a religion.
That is what you are discussing.
I was dragged into the topic by your offensive comments about my religion (which was off topic anyway).

Moreover, I find my own miracles with my own eyes; confirmed by my own understanding of science. You are not required to have a degree or degrees to understand a Holly Book. Having one or more just helps you
to find your own miracles. And yet again you fail to understand me.

Thanks for your concerns again. I wish you the very same.
I am hunting for pointers only. As I said I like to do my own research before accepting things to be true.

 I will speak now to the scientist you (pretend that you) are: You can't have miracles confirmed by science (but I accept that could be by your understanding of science! LOL), because miracle mean:
 
a striking interposition of divine intervention by God in the universe by which the operations of the ordinary course of Nature are overruled, suspended, or modified.
 
fact that collide havily and irremediably with the main postulate of science, that is the postulate of objectivity of nature, that stipulates that always there is a natural explanation to the unexplained. Boy oh boy . . .  where did you studied actually?  Ouch
 
Secondly, your "own miracles seen with your own eyes" (have you ever seen something with other's people eyes?Tongue ), are not miracles at all, because your eyes can and in fact are frequently cheating on you. As your judgments too; because of that, science is a matter of intersubjectivity, my friend (I still consider you so). So, in order to evade this situation you have to put in place an objective non-human system for authentifying what you perceive as being a "miracle".
Ever done this, body?
I doubt it . . .
And once Ive said that to you (some "abc" in science . . .), I have to disappoint you once again: a miracle is not a proof for the existence of your god; at least not in science, body . . . .  For that, as you know, or as you should have been knowing it, for the phenomenon x to be considered the cause of the phenomenon y, you should know and explain how x produce y ("relation of causality", remind it?); in details! If you fail doing that, all your "miracle" is not more than a hypothesis, and in fact I doubt that a miracle could be a scientific hypothesis at all!!! (because in order to have a scientific hypothesis, it has to comply with the falsifiability criteria, and an explanation where there is a santa claus or a god, has no chance in complying with . . . - how could you empirize santa claus? (except puting some santa claus clothes on your grand-father)); that because in order to have a cause called "god" , you have to have a god first, i.e. you have to have god proved before as existent!!! Never accomplished duty by any religious on earth  . . . .
Science is not religion, body . . .  take that syntagm as prayer for a month, in order to grasp all the significance in it . . .
 
are not required to have a degree or degrees to understand a Holly Book.
 
And by the way, the essential is not only undestanding a text, but knowing what is that text, knowing his history, his author, the history, the originality or non-originality of the ideas found in that text, etc.

Where did I say that you can prove the existence of God by science. How stupid is this ! If it can be proven by science, you wouldn't be writing here about this issue, would you? And we wouldn't be discussing what happens if Jesus will return.
 
Where is your logic? Anyway, forget it.

2 : an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment.
 
What I said was I find my own miracles while reading the book. I didn't say I believe because I find miracles.
 
And as for the number 2:
 
I find many suras talking about physics concepts like expansion of the universe, orbits, stars ( collapse, die, etc..). All written 1400 years ago. It is extremely outstanding, and  unusual.

lol, were not states or were states, were immigrants or were not, all these are irrelevant.
 
and i dont see why you keep talking about states, the term Arabia is not for a "state' or "states". its an Area mostly Arabian penensula. Jordan and syrian deserts.. and other parts around the limits of the Peninsula are all "Arabia".
 
yemen is not in arabia?! LOL
 
i guess you think "Arabia" is only whats called today Saudi Arabia?! then i advice you to read more and give us info that relevant to the discussion instead of showing us infos that are irrelevant and nothing but " hey i know this and that!" which we already know.Wink

no you did not speak about what exactly is "Arabia of Muhammad", as i said, Arabia is the same before Isalm and after Islam, 
 
i guess you are confused between "Arabia" and "Saudi Arabia", many parts of Arabia were under roman and Persian Rule.
 
i dont see why you keep arguing about facts, and keep your "never occupied Arabia" nonsense.

again with arrognat ignorant confidence. Big smile
 
so you are saying Ghassanides were never had any military conflicts or occupation by the Romans?
 
and Lakhmides were  Not attacked by persians or been under persian occupation?!
 
you do realise that those Empires and kingdoms lived for hundereds of years and attacks and counter attacks were normal thing.
 
so basically by saying Romans and Persians never attacked arabia, you showed nothing but ignorance and naivetity to History.

 I dont bother to read for now your so much-adevertised limits from CC, because I suppose they are the same as on any civilized forum. Hopefully you know what you speak about; I dont know by which criteria you was chosen to be a moderator, but I begin to be a little annoyed by yours harrassements . . .
 
relax, you are not the first nor the last arrogant person we meet here.
 
take your time and read the "CC", and other Forum admin related threads. Smile

and you knowing or not knowing which criteria i was chosen to be a moderator isnt something i care about. also you dont need to care about answering that question too. unless you are  obsessed, then ask a psychic.

Well, if your "miracles" are defined like above, and not religiously, no one is interested in them (at least not me).

 

And as for the number 2:  

I find many suras talking about physics concepts like expansion of the universe, orbits, stars ( collapse, die, etc..). All written 1400 years ago. It is extremely outstanding, and  unusual.

 

Oh . . .  Thats not exactly your personal observation Wink, or at least you're not at all the first muslim obsessed by such "findings" . . .  in fact there is a whole hagiography created by pious and selfdeceived muslims about the koranic "science"; there are scores of books about this subject, as there are many, too many actually, sites on the web with the same ridiculous purpose of justiying the pretention that the Koran is divine, by trying to opperate a futile effort of indentifying passages that fit somehow when read in an post-factum lecture with one or another modern scientific data . . .  There is also many sites that are rejecting all these pious arguments, and there is a lot of humour on this subject . . . compared maybe only with the humour made about christian creationism.

For now, I will limit the range of my reply to a general observation, waiting that you specifiy exactly what sura explain what astrophysics fact.

So, considering "your" idea suggesting that there is "extremely outstanding and unusual" scientific relevant data in Koran, for muslims appears a very, very annoying question:
Why were not the muslims those responsible for the scientific revolution in XVIIth century (when very important astrophysical discoveries were made)?
Why were not the muslims those creating the science as we understand today this term?
Can muslims accept that Allah put scientific data in Koran, but for 1000 years (till others made the discoveries) they were not able to see and understand it? (maybe christians read and understood Koran better than muslims themselves, and just faked the discoveries LOL ) You expect people accept that the believers in Allah (muslims) failed to get the whole message of Koran, i.e. having divine hinting and clues available, but the "crusaders" succeded even without "divine" tutoring?Confused

Oh yes, it is very relevant, and I explained already why: You cant speak about an invasion or conquest if there is no state to be invaded or conquered. 

and i dont see why you keep talking about states, the term Arabia is not for a "state' or "states". its an Area mostly Arabian penensula. Jordan and syrian deserts.. and other parts around the limits of the Peninsula are all "Arabia".

You speak here geography: arabian peninsula was not populated only by arabs; Syria, Palestina, the eastern crescent, were not populated by arabs till recent times; the muslims army imbued with Muhammad religion arrived there late, as late as it could be 7th th or 8th century!

yemen is not in arabia?! i guess you think "Arabia" is only whats called today Saudi Arabia?! then i advice you to read more and give us info that relevant to the discussion instead of showing us infos that are irrelevant and nothing but " hey i know this and that!" which we already know. 
 

No, that's your supposition only, and a malicious one in lack of better arguments. Yemen was an arab state, but it is not that "Arabia" from where Muhammad and his succesors started the war for an empire.

no you did not speak about what exactly is "Arabia of Muhammad", as i said, Arabia is the same before Isalm and after Islam, i guess you are confused between "Arabia" and "Saudi Arabia", many parts of Arabia were under roman and Persian Rule.

Many parts of a peninsula, but not areas populated before by arabs; As I exemplified you, pagan arabs arrived in north later, they become (herretical) christians by peacefully conversion, and once the succesors of Muhammad did begin to practice the philosophy of razzia, as their master so often practiced and teached them, they subdued this free people as romans never did.

Mr. Seki normally, should warn you for these insults (and they are worse than simple insults, because you're uttering them WITHOUT PROOF OR ARGUMENTS!!!).  Yes, I've said already that ghassanides were never occupied by romans, and that lakhnides were occupied temporarly by persians only after the first attacked the empire. 

you do realise that those Empires and kingdoms lived for hundereds of years and attacks and counter attacks were normal thing.

Drop this general rethoric and produce proofs! And try to insult no more. I expained you why these big empire were not interested in conquering a desert, but only in keeping the nomads from there from attacking their natural imposed frontiers. I am able to produce historical quotes for that. You?

so basically by saying Romans and Persians never attacked arabia, you showed nothing but ignorance and naivetity to History.
 

Prove it! I have nothing against learning something I dont know yet, appearantly in big contrast with you.

lol, you talk about proofs while you provided none, you talk about "Arabia was never attacked by Romans or Persians" while you admit they did in Yemen, and the Lakhmids you talk about arguments while you have none, all you doing is hopelessly trying to bla bla bla about ignorant statements which through your own articles are proven wrong.!!
 
you yourself admitted Yemen was a state was under Persian rule, how did that happen? peacefully? not even a one drop of blood?
 
you want proofs about Romans attacking Arabs? read about Nabateans and their End.
 
so the "never" argument is wrong, you will even proof your stupidness by continue talking about it.
 
 
 
you even added new ignorant statement here,
Arabian peninsula was not populated only by arabs; Syria, Palestina, the eastern crescent, were not populated by arabs till recent times; the muslims army imbued with Muhammad religion arrived there late, as late as it could be 7th th or 8th century!"
 
LOL
 
it seems like its hard for you to pronounce "Islam", anyway its your problem not mine,
 
anyway, "Palestina" mr.latino, Syria, Jordan, Iraq HAD Arab population in them BEFORE Islam's arrival.
 
don't stupidly ask me for proofs, you prove there weren't any population and i will show you mine, although they are obvious and you yourself admitted their presence before Islam through the ghassanids and lakhmids. so i dont see why would you ask for more proofs !
 
 
the rest of your post is nothing but stupid arrogant post which lacks any historical proofs and full of false statements.
  and again dont make a fool of yourself and ask me for proofs, because i already proven your ignorance and your arrogance above, from the few posts your posted in this forum i see many people shares my opinion.

Maybe some moderator could stop by and stop this rule violating, totally out of topic, mud-slinging, arrogance competition.
 
I think its way out of line - the last post on topic was more than full page back!
