Probably? Well, then at least you have your doubts. Speaking of which...I wonder what people here think of the Muhammad statue in the Supreme Court.

What? You don´t know of it? Itś been around for hundreds of years.

¨The North Frieze on the Supreme Court building in Washington, DC features a bas-relief sculpture of Mohammed, among several other historical law-givers. He is in the center of this image holding a curved scimitar; on the left is Charlemagne, and on the right is Byzantine Emperor Justinian. You can download a detailed pdf of the Supreme Court friezes here. The urban legend site Snopes.com has info about the frieze in this entry. A slightly less clear photo of Mohammed in the frieze can be found here, as part of this article which gives some background on the sculpture. (See below for a different courthouse Mohammed that met a less happy fate.)

But hows that taught anyone a lesson? All its done is make the invasions harder and bigger, the only real losers in the end are the people in the Middle East and Asia. I fail to see the lesson learned.You invade our country and will fight you, simple as that.
Well, I hope thats a no...I rather like the Supreme Court Building, it has nice art.Dont invade our land.

The lesson is already learned by the west. They are in the midst of the biggest recession and economic crisis since the Great Depression. Furthermore they are defeated militarily in Iraq and Afghanistan. In this year and the next they will leave both of these countries disgraced, inshallah. That would be a great victory for the muslims and Islam. Because the Afghans have defeated two great superpowers in a timespan of about 30 years. With all they military hardware, technology and power.
After that we will liberate Palestine inshallah!

Well actually, the whole world is in a great recession so to say. In fact, the countries still being hit the hardest are middle eastern, south asian and north african nations, which are always doing badly. Yes, the mullahs and other islamic dictators like to propagate a bunch of islamic hokus pokus and curses surrounding this, while their countries starve to death and are in far worse shape. Its just a case of pot calling the kettal black. Yes I love that saying...just so fitting much of the time.

why do you always bring the whole world into your countrys problems.
We pashtuns are used to poverty, we can handle it very well, we can adapt to eating a few meals a week, but you americans cant live a day without 30 burgers. It is you who will suffer more than anybody else, look at new orleans, you didnt expect that, and we seen the looting and raping and killing of your own citizens, we pashtuns suffer from war, floods, hungar, bad weather yet we never complain to you or the world to help us, we just struggle and continue with life. but Americans cry over a dead dog than a human being. Goes to show eh!

That's why America is asking money from the rest of the world to finance its economy. India and China have the biggest growth rates of their economies in decades. America was also asking money from the rich Arab states. The demography of western countries is shrinking, because of the large amount of old people. They need immigrants, including muslims for their workforce. That's why the number of muslims is only increasing in the west in general and especially in Europe. Here in Europe the IMF and Eu is bailing out countries like Greece and Iceland and in the near future Portugal and Spain. The Euro is going down with the dollar. The future is very bleak.Originally posted by imb706 View PostWell actually, the whole world is in a great recession so to say.

But there is an Islamic revival all over the world and inshallah in the near future the Khilafah will be established again:

I really doubt any khalifate will be established, its been done before and failed miserably sorry to say. For the last 100's of years people such as you have said the same and nothing happened, todays wars are not because of relgion, but because of political and regional interests. If it was for relgion, then Europeans and Americans wouldnt be pushing an Secular Agenda and we would be seeing a statue of Jesus everywhere with one gun in the hand and a bible in the other.
