Hamas has no power to rule Gaza. Neither the Palestinian authority to rule west Bank.
Israel can seize your property at any time. Or arrest you for no apparent reason. Or shoot you from the fences and no criminal action taken against the perpetrators.
Nor can Palestinians trade with the rest of the world freely like in sinkie. Every deal must be approved by Israel. Cannot even catch fishes 3km off the coast. Nor can they cross the borders. No passport can be issued as it's not a recognised state. You need to get passport from other friendly countries if need to travel. Hamas are only provide local authorities. Clean the drains, provide schools and medical. And security.

So you agree it's oxymoron, and a virgin cannot be slut ?

 

[bairni]

I totally get your point. Any religion that uses violence and intimidation isn't promoting peace and understanding, which should be at the core of any belief system.

The biggest intimidation is telling me I will go to hell if I do not believe in Him.

Zamboanga was a Muslim territory illegally and quietly included as part of Philippines without their consent.

Absolute rubbish. The option to convert was given.

Just like how Jewish Israel was illegally and violently included as part of an Islamic world. That includes Pakistan which was historically a Buddhist country as well.

It was the mongols that destroyed budhism.

The religion began to decline in Afghanistan after its conquest by Arab Muslims following the rise of Islam in the 7th century CE; it saw further decline in the region during the Muslim Ghaznavid era of the 10th–12th centuries.[4] Buddhism was eliminated in Afghanistan by the 13th century during the Mongol conquests,[5][6] with no further mention of a Buddhist presence in the area past the 14th century.[4]

"after its conquest by Arab Muslims" That proves my point. Buddhism did not decline when the Western Christians took control of the government when they colonized part of the East. Buddhism "declined" because Muslims are evil and they play underhand methods like taxing you like the mafia for "protection" and killing you if you leave after converting and don't allow other religions to spread.

You gotta ask the aztecs, incas, mayans who were looted by the spaniards and forced to convert. Muslims merely tax the people they occupied. Otherwise, how to provide services and utilities?
