The location of the Baha’i World Center was determined by the banishment of Baha’u'llah in 1868 by the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire.

keep up the good work man…….

Sweet site dude, check out mine when you get a min……

This is both a logical fallacy and a sloppy use of a source. The following is of course assuming your above stated affiliations have historic basis (I cannot say either way. I have not looked into this subject, so I can only assume you are truthful).

To say the militias who fought* U.S. troops in Mogadishu, who where part of an organization (SNA) which eventually became part of another organization (SRRC) which has ties to another organization which has ties to Al-Qaeda is, quite obviously, impossible logic.

Look at it his way. When you and I were 15, me and my friend Dennis beat you up for stealing my girl. Now, we go separate ways. I make a new friend in college, James. James, however, is close friends with Amy. Amy has her own friends of course, and she is friends with this guy named Frank. Now, this Frank you know. He stole your girlfriend and humiliated you badly. You are tired of being treated like this and want revenge. You and your friends plan to beat him up, but Frank is big and strong. Just by chance, my former friend Dennis also goes to your college, and you see him for the first time since our little fight back when we were 15. This is your logic: Today, Frank is friends with Amy, who is friends with James, who is friends with me, who was in the past a friend of Dennis. Dennis therefore is pretty much Frank, and you decide to beat him up, seeing that Dennis is much more of a pussy than Frank, and because Dennis and Frank are in league against you.

How does Dennis=Frank? Dennis was friends with me in the past, but now I’m friends with James, who is indirectly connected by friends to Frank. According to you, Frank, Amy, James, me, and Dennis are all in league against you, which simply cannot be true. Dennis could not have been in league with Frank against you, because you hadn’t met Frank yet, and Frank hadn’t met you. The logic just doesn’t work.

Another example. Osama is an accepted member of the bin Laden family in the past. Today they reject him. The bin Laden family has close ties with the Bush family. George W. Bush is an accepted member of that family. Thus, George W. Bush has close ties with Osama bin Laden.

What? That doesn’t make any sense? Well, your logic doesn’t either.

[quote]Research the policies of your own liberal party and compare to that of the marxists, communists, nazis, and socialists- YOU are the fascists. Wake up.[/quote]

You are using terms you don’t understand. Get an education first and come back later.

First off, communism and fascism are extreme opposites. Communists/Marxists and Fascists/Nazis hated each other. In fact, Communists were among those persecuted under the Nazi regime along side Jews, Jehovah’s Witness members, and Gypsies.

Marxism dictates that everyone should have economic and social equality. It preached an end to sexual and racial discrimination with the goal of creating a genderless, classless society.

Fascism preaches the superiority of a single group over all others and thus inequality.

The only similarity that I can see is that both systems de-emphasize the individual. Marxism promotes seeing oneself as a member of a collective society and not as a independent member of society. Fascism promotes seeing oneself as part of a greater race or nation rather than a unique individual.

Fascism is a far-right phenomena. Communism is a far-left phenomena. NEVER anywhere in the world have communists and fascists ever sung the same tune. They are radically different ideologies.

So, if you’re going to accuse the pussy liberals of something, accuse them of being filthy hypocrites or communists/socialists (this last one if they aren’t Democrats, hypocrite still applies though). Democrats, on the wide political spectrum, are actually closer to the right than the left. Of course, Republicans are even closer to the right than the left than the Dems. Real ‘leftists’ include such disparate figures like Stalin (authoritarian/left) and the Green Party and Gandhi(libertarian/left). Hitler/Thatcher/most politicians in the U.S. today (authoritarian/right) with people like Ron Paul and Milton Friedman taking the last quadrant (libertarian/right).

* “fought” is the best word I think can be used in this instance, as it was U.S. troops who moved offensively against them. To say U.S. soldiers were ambushed, as if doing nothing, can be seen as an insult to the U.S. soldiers who suffered or died in the attempt to take out a brutal leader)
