#7 Now we need the French to make a film about the Battle of Tours and the defeat of the Muslim drive into France.

#8 Oh the Muzzies would be pissed about that movie if it got made - Charles "The Hammer" Martel is still hated to this day for stomping their butts, slaughtering them in droves, and driving them out of the main part of Europe.

#9 i still dont get the fuss on either side.

The Persians in the movie are PAGANS. Zoroastrians. Worshippers of Ahura Mazda. The descendants of this faith were EXPELLED by the muslims, and are the Parsis of India, of whom one of the most famous was Zubin Mehta, who conducted the ISRAEL Philharmonic, among other orchestras. The residue of that faith among ordinary Iranians is the Persian New Years festival, which the mullahs barely tolerate.

These are the guys who were BEATEN by the muslim Arabs at Khadissiyah.

#11 I'm not sure that remark should have been sink trapped.
I mean, he made a debatable remark, not a slur.

#12 No, wxjames, it was not debatable, and had little to do with the article other than to try to drag things off topic as a provocation.

That is, unless you are as bigoted as that poster was, it was a slur based on a stereotype.

Choose.

#13 #7 That one left a lasting impression: Arabs have been calling all West Europeans Francs well into 19th century.

#14  I can't believe you banned me for speaking my mind. Is that the Rantburg way. What ever happened to freedom of speech where everyone can state an opinion. For all the readers out there know that i got banned for only stating, "thats what happens when you have a Jewish controlled Hollywood". That was the only statement i said in regards to the movie 300 in which the Persians are portrayed as blood thirsty monsters. I also had my rant removed.
Now, if you have a problem with that statement don't ban me for it but rather instead debate me on it. Thats what free speech is all about. What ever happend to letting people rant. Please follow the name of you website and allow poeple to express their opinions with out censorship.
