I really wish all the best to all people who live in this country, no matter which religion they have.

Chitaranjan Ransingh, I don’t know what u up to ??? what do you mean? Root of good comes from one, when it shared to second that’s when pure beauty produced. (Being polit, good moral, unselfishness that is what makes human beautiful) ...

[@zizohaan6154]

Which root you talking about, my friend first you have to have some general knowledge in human history, and religions history, first of all christianity is only 2000 years old. I don’t see any root in Christianity. Before Christianity people’s religion was Judaism, Budaism, idols worshiping. So you mean all Christians including you left their root religion that was Judaism, Budaism, idol worshiping..etc. And you saying that all christians, Jews, muslims, should be killed by Buddists or idol-worshipers because they have root to it. We muslims have no root in Islam, but we chose Islam over Christianity, Budaism, Judaism, etc.. because the understanding of Islam, God is simple only one God has no partner or no son or family members. In Islam people are equal white has no superiority over black, and back has no superiority over white. Royal family has no superiority over local people, local people has no superiority over royal family. in Islam racism is not allowed. When Islam came no to slavery. In Islam it’s mandatory to give 2.5 if all savings to charity for needy, and poor people. in Islam we don’t need to go to imam (religious preacher) to connect us with God, any muslim or human by clean heart can have a spiritual connection with God. In Islam not allowed to use women as a sex slave, or prostitution. In Islam it’s mandatory to take care of your old parents with patience and respect. muslims has no seniors nursing home. This is why Bosnians choose Islam over Christianity. If i ask you even you don’t know who is God, who is Jesus? For muslims Jesus is a prophet, and a servant of creator (God) same like all other humans. You have no answer on point to answer about Jesus. Because maybe you never thought about God، or you thought about it but still you didn’t get your complete answers. My friend you will be confused if you really do a research about Christianity understanding of God. I am not disrespecting Christianity I respect all religions, but when it come to discussion I have to explain the truth. Look in USA, Europe, Australia, media people hate Islam, but fastest growing religion in the world right now is Islam. Why ?? Because Islam is weak? Islam is bad? muslims are terrorists? etc..?? Answer is no because Islam is complete religion for lifestyle, for business, for governing،...etc. ً people can be bad/good. In cultures can be bad/good but Islam is in every muslims heart Choose by their own well. No one is forcing westerners to come to Islam this is there own choice, and no one can stop it because it’s matters of heart spiritual connection with the creator (Allah, God).....

[@zizohaan6154]

[@zizohaan6154]

surojeet chatterjee I didn’t get your comment my friend, but Allah (God) given human freewill that angel does not have freewill they constant in order to do what God orders them, given them duties, or worship. For human Allah(God) gave choices for example: if there is red light and green light we are free to pass red light or green light or pass in between the street don’t care about lights. In these situations Allah (God) inform us human that any choice you choose indeed there will be accountability for each path you (human) took. And Allah (God) order us (human) to cross green light which is safe for yourself and for others. using our logic that God is only one with no partner, human be righteous in this world, Worship and bowing only to Allah(God) not to any dependent beings or things, because Allah is independent of any thing unique and perfect that nothing can be perfect but only God. Human your in the test of better being so don’t go after fame, lust, desires, materialistic selfish life in this world. Human live in this world as a normal righteous person help needy stand with innocents, and strive in path of God that your arrogant blood beings well stop you from righteousness etc....human at the same time don’t forget to focusing on eternal life after your temporary life in this world. Human whenever you in need request from me only me(God). Human your brain is limited to the knowledge, what I provided, and what you learn in this world. no human saw me before don’t try to make my picture or idol. These were the green light massages from God to human not to muslims only, but to all humanity. Now it’s up us human we obey the order? we ignore the order? we don’t care about the order ? or we follow only our ancestors whither if they were wrong or right ?.... muslims don’t follow their ancestors we follow Islam and and prophets, and the one and only almighty God which is worthy of worship. لااله الا الله محمد رسول الله there is no God but Allah(God) and Mohammad is his servant, messenger like Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Adam.. etc....

[@zizohaan6154]

surojeet chatterjee surojeet chatterjee it’s different from idol worship kaba is direction for muslims unity before kaba al-Aqsa mosque in Palestine was the direction place for muslims unity. And Allah command us muslims to face in one direction while worshiping. No Muslim worship Kaba even when kaba was full of idols at beginning of Islam so prophet Mohammad and his companions were facing toward Al-aqsa mosque. It doesn’t mean that muslims were worshiping mosque. Also back in the days when there was no technology the time for prayer call a person was climbing over Kaba to call for prayer, so how come we worship Kaba and at same time we stand over it with no respect under our feet? When people circle Kaba they recite loudly the oneness, praises to Allah not to Kaba. Black stone no body worship it. Only we muslims think that stone is special in this planet why because prophet Abraham the father of Abrahamic faith which is Zabor (David book), Judaism, Christianity, and last one Islam. So when Abraham was on construction of Kaba the angel brought him a stone from heaven, it has a message for us that stone when brought from heaven it was pure white color, by time it turned to black as prophet said “when the whiteness in this stone despairs that will be the sign for the day of judgement is close”. Omer one of companion of prophet Mohammad kissed the stone and said “this stone can not harm me nor benefit me, I only kissed it because prophet Mohammad kissed it”. About hand of Allah you mentioned nobody knows that God is in which form how big or small or how looks ?? Is it hand means like human hand or something else? All Humans is limited with this knowledge of God does he have shape? What kind of ????. Quran Surah shura “There is nothing that exist which is like him(Allah)”. Surah Ekhlas “No one is ever equivalent to him(Allah)”. Now who could we say that our hands looks like Allah’s hand. Look this is amazing when prophet said that “beyond seven heavens there is Arsh Kursi (throne of God) of god, if we it compare to this world’s for example the African Sahara desert will be the throne of Allah and the finger ring will be this world (planets, sky, galaxies)”. Prophet said nothing from him all from God that brought by angels to prophet. And there were logic, signs, miracles, gifted knowledges, righteousness, selflessness, prophecy about future that made people to believe in an educated shepherd person as a messenger of Allah(God).

History is written by the victor is the quote yet I find it more accurate to say that History is written by the victor but taught through the eyes of the beholder. In Poland, we are taught of the various things done to us yet we are rarely taught of the things we did. The polish Lithuanian commonwealth wasn't exactly a great deal for the Lithuanians. Volhynian Massacre? We weren't exactly nice to the Ukrainians prior to WW 1&2 either. Nor did we sit silently after the massacre, we pulled one of our own. To truly see the full painting, one must first open their eyes and realise the damn canvas is painted on both sides.

[@fenrirumbra3772]

This is the problem of a history teacher, the documents we have to follow tend to be made by politicians and not historians. As such we don't have juridical justification to talk about some things. This has started to change, but very slowly and unevenly throughout the world (especially Europe). In sweden our history documents still have a "sweden = always good, never wrong" hint to it especially in lower class grades.

I cannot say for sure but considering his family legacy, Son of a famous Astronaut I would guess that by "Rare Earth" he refers to (one of) the Fermi Paradox solution(s) named just that. The Rare Earth hypothesis is that the cosmological development, the geological development of a planet and then the evolutionary circumstances of any life (particularly complex life) on a world needed to create an intelligent and technologically adept species is very rare. It doesn't exclude general life bearing worlds but it alludes to them being so rare at any given point in the age of the universe and very far apart. Mapping out our cultural foibles, achievements and atrocities on this "Rare Earth" fits as it puts us in our possible place in the universe and how unique parts of the world are and how unique our world might well be. Again, I have never seen them state this is the reason for the name of the series.

The Bosnians simply could see that they were not the rulers in their own land, the catholic lands were controlled by the more prestigious catholics of the coast and the orthodox lands by the more prestigious orthodox close to and inside Serbia, so in the end the Ottomans and Islam were a chance for greater self determination to become prestigious. Thats the same thing that happened in Albania which was a land ruled by mostly foreign families since the roman times, so Islam was a way for the Albanian population to gain prestige and thats what pretty much happened in most if not all of the islamic empires expansion throughout history. Its interesting to see how the thing that helped Islam grow more was not the religion itself at many points but the other faiths

As a Turk i find this video absolutely beneficial with details. Excatly no any nation change religion with open arms and gladly. Always there've strong reasons. Those century(1460s) Ottomans formed the army mutlinational from 22 diffirent nation soldiers and included with mostly muslims but also had Chirstian Turks(Gagauz, uz and Pechenek Turks) and Shaman Turk wariors(Deluler,bashibozuklar) Cause population was not enough as army need. Those days total empire population was 9-10 million people and only total 3-4 milion Turkish Population dominated empire and felt very big risk with this rate. Those century had almost the same count church and mosque in empire. So they found a way to unit the army and population with religion option and launched cizye(non-muslims task), After the conquest of Balkan, they conguered middle east, arabian peninsula and Nord Africa Because they needed a large Muslim population to controll the empire and army. İn this period Balkan soldiers added to this army and they improved top positions in military command management. even as a Serbian Bayo Sokoloviç (sokulu pasha) became the second man in empire after Sultan.. I absolutly agree with the Hungarian friend who commented below, Countries have black and white pages in the past but they try to show only their white pages. Accusing each other without stopping is useless abouth history.. Because of such reosons we have to trust in impartial historicans and scientist rather than emotional .

We can't pretend though that Christianity didn't play its role to that. Bosnia was unfortunately the border of the Catholics and Orthodoxes, the area was the literal symbol of the Great Schism and its blindless as well as violence, treated badly from both the Catholics and the Orthodoxes...no wonder why they started converting but still...from Christianity to Islam, that is a huge taboo when you are surrounded by christian countries.
