Who won't agree?

Religions in general don't agree and the interpretations within them ...muslims for example as per answers from Zlat
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I wouldn't say that, almost all of the Muslim world agreed at one point with only small difference in worship. Even the Sunnis and Shias went hundreds of years without fighting and intermarried during the Ottoman and Safavid empires.

This happened when the world was supposed to be less civilised than it is today.

Things have only gone t1ts up since certain military powers split up the middle-east and start spreading 'freedom' and 'democracy' with bombs and bullets.

Divide and conquer? I think so.

KFC, personally I do not agree with mutilation as a form of punishment, however rare. I do not agree with the death penalty either, nor with eye-for-eye retribution generally.


Unfortunately, the video on slavery has been taken down, so I haven't been able to watch it.

I don't know what the Qur'an or your other holy books have to say about it either.

I do believe, however, that some of the companions held slaves (I don't know about Mohammad himself) and, since you noted the Ottoman and Safavid Empires as periods of peace amongst Muslims, I'd also point out that, as it appears, both captured, sold and kept slaves.

I'm interested to know what it establishes, because accounts of enslavement come all the way up to modern times with Boko Haram, and not that long ago with similar accusations levelled against the Gov't of Sudan in Darfur and what is now South Sudan.

According to Trump, this is going to flood the U.S. with terrorists.

You could, but it's also true that ISIS also thrive on creating these antagonisms. Any attack would lead to even more furious reactions on behalf of the U.S. that would in turn further alienate some people and push them into the arms of ISIS.

I'm not sure to what extent people realise just how much these mentalities feed into each other and to what extent they're simply beyond caring and just want some good ole Hollywood-style revenge.

I saw a debate yesterday on CNN between Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz regarding Obamacare.
Shame that the US election wasn't between these two men as both are a clear level above Trump and Hillary.

Daesh modus operandi is to destabilise/alienate Muslims.

In a series of online messages they suggested they would use migration to infiltrate various areas in the west. The intelligence services (Europol, NSA, CIA etc etc) have yet to see evidence of this however.

While US border controls were already (extremely) vigilant, if there was genuine concerns, the administration could have rolled out a series of programmes (whether you agreed with them or not) in a more covert (less published) manner.

This however is not Trump's style. And everything has to be pompous and ‘showy’

I'd argue Ted Cruz is almost as big a baby as Trump tbh
Should be nowhere near office

I'm not a fan of Cruz overall but he argued his points well yesterday. The respect shown by both men towards each other was commendable too.
