Talk:Jihad/Archive 1

message: I heard that Arabic speakers use the word Jihad in much the same way English speakers use the word "crusade", and visa versa. For example, Jihad to english speakers means holy war, just like crusade to arabic speakers means holy war. In english, a crusade can be used to mean to further a cause, which is from what I understand what jihad means in arabic. Just some notes. Earl Andrew 06:26, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Crusade 

message: :"Among the Believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah and have gone out for Jihad (holy fighting). Some have completed their vow to extreme and have been martyred fighting and dying in His Cause, and some are waiting, prepared for death in battle."” Surah 33:22
When checked against three English translations, this is revealed to be bullshit. First, Surah 33:22 says (Yusuf Ali's translation):
:"When the Believers saw the Confederate forces, they said: "This is what Allah and his Messenger had promised us, and Allah and His Messenger told us what was true." And it only added to their faith and their zeal in obedience."
The next ayah is similar to the quotation here, but the phrases "and have gone out for Jihad (holy fighting)", "and have been martyred fighting and dying in His Cause", and "prepared for death in battle" do not appear in three major English translations.  But don't take my word for it, see for yourself. —No-One Jones (m) 12:28, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: More malarkey

message: 168.209.97.34, in an edit summary you wrote can any NON-Muslim please have a look at this section and comment? -- I am not a Muslim.  A co-worker let me borrow his copy of The Qur'an to check the verses.  The exact words of the translation vary slightly, but the meaning is clearly the same.  If these quotes are eventually kept, it is important that they be in context.  Concepts often take more than a single sentence to convey.  If you take only one sentence, out of context, that single sentence could seem to imply something different than, or even opposite from, what was communicated in the concept.  For example, Surah 8:60,61 taken together communicate a concept (when to go to war, when to end the war).  Quoting only the first part hides from the reader a very important part of the total concept involved.  Ommissions of context cannot help accurately portray the ideas presented in any text and should be especially guarded against where religious texts are concerned.

replies: text: There have been many tens of sovereign defaults in the past century, and many more before that.  If you are interested in more info of a general nature in a very accessable format for non-economists, this webpage summarizes (in text, and very well I might add) a podcast with an economist who does the best job I've ever heard of clarifying the distinction between a sovereign default of external debt and a sovereign default of domestic debt.  It is fairly early in the podcast, and you can see where from the textual summary should you want to find it.  The author also mentions many of these specific country debt defaults that are discussed in the recent book by Rogoff and Reinhart (This Time is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly, by Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff.) N2e (talk) 13:38, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

text: There have been no real defaults ever, for a floating non-convertible currency, like the modern dollar, pound or yen.  Russia was pegged then, and was foolish to default ruble debt. I believe the only example in Reinhart and Rogoff is the yen in 1942.  Japan defaulted on UK & US payments.  Since there was WWII at the time, this is a pretty silly example.John Z (talk) 10:26, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Sleeper hold

message: Stand behind your opponent. Put your right arm around his neck, coming in from the right side. Put your left arm under his left armpit, bring your hand up to the back of his head, and push forard. Squeeze your arm around the opponent's throat, making sure to squeeze the veins very hard. One effectively has the opponent locked, and is cutting off their blood circulation.
After about 6 seconds of the opponent being in this hold, the opponent will go limp. This move is very dangerous, if one holds the opponent in this lock for too long, the opponent will die."

Gosh, if you’re going to be pedantic at least be rational. This whole paragraph is a tremendous non-sequitur, as well as being expressed in an absurd way ("the palazzo's principal function was to be the place of governmental functions"). Doge’s Palace and Ducal Palace have exactly the same meaning. I cut the phrase out and made one or two other minor changes.

Talk:U.S. Highway 94

message: US 94 should have its own article, IMHO, not a misdirection to US 41. It was a separate entity in the U.S. Highway System. To click on a link to US 94 and then have US 41 appear would not make any sense to someone without any prior knowledge of the assimillation 0f US 94 into US 41.
-- Fingers-of-Pyrex 18:59, 2005 Apr 20 (UTC)
I agree for a couple of additional reasons.  First, Florida State Road 90 and historic US Highway 94 are identical; so if there is any redirects that are needed here it would be FROM SR 90 and not to US 41.  Second, a US 94 article would deal with a different aspect of the Tamiami Trail (which covered the entire length of SR 90 plus several dozen miles), the perspective of history. US 94 deserves, and needs, either its own article or its inclusion on a separate Tamiami Trail article.  B.Wind 07:12, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:List of ships named Nautilus

message: I've been thinking about this, and suspect that the influence probably was mutual. Verne probably named his submersible Nautilus because the name had been previously used. And when it came time to name the first real submarine, the Navy was influenced by the popular novel.
Not unlike the fact that Star Trek's Enterprise was so-called because the name had been used for many ships. And then when the first Space Shuttle was built, NASA was influenced by a write-in campaign to name it for the popular fictional spaceship.

On October 7, 2023, thousands of Hamas militants stormed into southern Israel murdering over 1200 Israelis including hundreds of youth at a music festival and families with babies at kibbutzim. They fired thousands of rockets into Israel. They then kidnapped some 240 Israelis including children and held them hostage in Gaza. Israel retaliated with heavy bombardments of the Gaza Strip. On October 9, 2023, Qatari, US and Egyptian mediators began talks with Hamas in an effort to arrange the release of 36 Palestinian women and children from Israeli prisons in exchange for Israeli hostages. Starting from November 24, some 150 Israeli hostages were released in a succession of days in return for a ceasefire and the release of female and teenage Palestinian prisoners.
