wood. you are free to have your own beliefs.
there is no point of discussing your last point. I will tell you with great certainty that I disagree emphatically.
there's irony in this. chess was part of islam's culture as shatranj, and this game was introduced to Europe by muslim people.
in an age where the christian warfare meant death and torture of innocent people, islam introduced the world a symbollic battle of skill and wit. with no torture or death.
I consider that to be proof in itself that islam is not what you think it is.
I'm sure you don't agree but its SO ironic I had to point it out.
I have never seen a username that fits so well with someone's personality, talking to you, @woodretarded
