These aren't democracies so it doesn't matter. Also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyranny_of_the_majority Alexis de Tocqueville begs to differ.

Shut the fuck up. Orthodox christianity was in the Levant hundreds of years before Isla

Paganism is even older, and especially in the Southern regions which were called Nabatea. Christianity did not make in roads although it did try. The Nabateans were eventually angered when the Byzantines destroyed the temple of the Mother Goddess, and hence the rebellion. Nabateans thankfully never converted to it, only few did.

That is an extremely uneven comparison. Why?
1. Muslims persecuted and forced pagans to convert too.
2. Byzantines were Greco-Romans, not Levantines. Even you were one of the ones who said Levantines christians were not like Greeks so why should Levantine Orthodox people pay for what greeks did?

Because a lot of Muslims like to troll me. They antagonize me and kiss the asses of Euro christians or Euro atheists which is pretty damn ironic.

Like whom? I certainly don't troll you.

Like whom? I certainly don't troll you, nor do I associate with the majority of members on this site either.

You're "liberal" and yet you think majoritarianism is not a problem? the entire reason for establishing *liberal* democracies was to uphold certain liberal rights that go beyond the will of the majority (the right to worship, freedom of expression, etc)

I don't think Palestinians are the only ones guilty of intolerance. There are many in Europe who don't think Muslims should be able to worship freely.

It's the Dark Ages all over again.

Makes sense... they betray their own people and their religious allies, because those cunts from saudi-arabia want them too, for financing of-course. Why else would they suddenly turn decades of unity, upside down, to people who haven't had problems them for decades. So they suddenly just decide to enforce sharia law? This wasn't a complain before from hamas. They want to be wahabized.
