callippo Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 We should all be- done without any violence. muslims united in peace for a better change. you can always spot the overseas Muslims when they make silly posts like that. They always assume that what they think of as 'Muslim countries' like Egypt are 100% Islamic. They either forget or blithely ignore that coptic Christians, who are treated like total **** in Egypt, number between 10 and 20% of the population. the precise number isn't known because a lot pretend to be Muslims when they are not so as to better their life chances.

Mecky Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Israel is a rogue state anyway,it occupies palestinian land so who cares. And here's me thinking the land was Hebrew before the land was taken off them by the Romans and given to the Arabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johncocker Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 can someone remind me,which was the last country to go from a military dictatorship to democracy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callippo Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 good question I suppose. Wiki has this short military dictatorship list, there's never more than about six countries on it, and it changes (Egypt got put on it yesterday). about five years ago Mauritania, Thailand and Pakistan were on it. They're not now. Libya has also mysteriously vanished, although I wasn't aware the government had changed all that much. Fiji and North Korea were on it then and are still on it, with North Korea having been in the charts for the longest time. the most solid lot of former military dictatorships that are now pretty much full-fledged democracies are in Latin America and of course it took years not months.

MAMALOCHA! Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Egypt during this revolution was losing around 310 million a day its time to make neighbouring countries pay the going rate for gas to recoup the loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here's me thinking that the land belonged to the Canaanites before being taken of them by the Hebrews and kept for themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callippo Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 And here's me thinking that the land belonged to the Canaanites before being taken of them by the Hebrews and kept for themselves what battles were there then, where this feat of arms happened? what happened was the Canaanites gradually coalesced into the Israelite nation. By about the 9th century BCE their historical and archeological existence, separate of the Israelites, ends. this is why you don't read about the Canaanites being conquered by the Assyrians or the Babylonians. They no longer existed as such. They had melded into the Israelite nation, just as the Israelite nation itself was formed by other Canaanite and regional tribes (e.g. the Sashu) coalescing together - likely to confront the Philistine invaders.
