So your argument is that all the history books are wrong, but 1 unsourced dumbass on Twitter called piratejacksparo is right?

This is why Egypt is a fucking failure. Because Egyptians have this remarkable ability to just believe whatever the fuck they want

Just before Nasser's coup, 90% of Egyptian women were illiterate. (Source p. 123). Egypt's total literacy rate in 1920 was 13%. In 1952 it was 25%. It exploded in Nasser's period due to his education reforms, making public education free and accessible to all. He increased education spending by 400%, and there was an average of 2 new schools being opened every 3 days. Source

Tarek Osman of Georgetown university states that by the end of the 1940s, 5% of the population held 65% of the nation's assets, and 3% of the population held 80% of the land. By transferring the land successfully, Nasser completely ended the feudal peasant society. Osman states that during Nasser's rule, the cultivable land grew by a third, mainly due to the dam, something that has never happened before or since. Before the coup, heavy industry made up 14% of the Egyptian economy. After Nasser it was 35%. Osman cites an average rate of 9% GDP growth over a 10-year period of Nasser's rule.

Tarek Youssef analyzes Egypt's GDP from the late 1800s to 1945. He provides tables full of statistics that you can check yourself. He states: "whether we look at agriculture or aggregate output, one arrives at the long held conjecture that the level of income per capita in Egypt experienced little or no improvement in the first half of the 20th century."

Nasser was no democrat. He was an enlightened dictator. But the king was a corrupt fat playboy sitting on the throne of a failed British colony.

www.egprices.com Compare with amazon price multiplied by 13
Since the dollar crisis it has been especially bad (overpricing).

A Zotac 1070 on Egprices - Price as of this post: 6450 EGP.

Same exact thing on Amazon - Price as of this post: 430 USD

Multiplier:

6450 / 430 = 15

No, but there were many prominent Egyptian atheist scholars in more intellectually open times:

>Still, the direct influence of so-called ‘new atheists’ has its limits. To overstate such foreign channels is to overlook the legacy of Egyptian freethinkers and atheists, a memory the Egyptian state has long tried to wipe from the national record. Ahmed Lutfi al-Sayyid, pioneer of the modern translation movement; Salama Moussa, pioneer of Egyptian socialism; ‘Abd al Rahman Badawi, pioneer of existentialism – all were avowed Egyptian atheists. Though officially banned, a host of Egyptian critiques and commentaries on religion have made waves, including the early twentieth-century work of ‘Abd al-Rahman Badawi, From the History of Atheism in Islam (available in Arabic here), and, almost a century later, ‘Abbas ‘Abd al-Nur’s My Ordeal with the Qur’an and with God in the Qur’an. ‘Abd al Nur had spent the bulk of his life a pious Sufi sheikh in the Nile Delta before abandoning religion in his early eighties. Written in classical Arabic style, the book’s fiery tone reflects the extreme depth its author’s apostasy, laying out a brutally critical genealogy of Islam.

It looks like someone confused his Egyptian calendars

​

The "year 6 of Al Sisi" was the calendar used in pre-Roman Egypt.

Ptolemny 3rd created what is now the Coptic Calendar, and it was only enforced by Augustus Ceaser. It's called the "Coptic Calendar" and not the "ancient Egyptian calendar" exactly because they are separate calendars, even if the Coptic Calendar borrowed heavily from the ancient Egyptian.

So this:

> The ancient Egyptians counted the years according to the ruler, not in a cumulative way like this. They had no idea how long ago something was in years, only in the number of rulers. So to an ancient Egyptian, we would now be in Year 6 of the rule of Al-Sisi.

Just doesn't apply to that. You seemed to be on the right track writing this:

> The Coptic calendar was established during the Roman period

But then somehow confused the two again.

Today, as of writing this comment, it is the 2nd of Thout in the year 1736 AM in the Coptic calendar.

>The priests kept king lists across Egypt that varied from one to the other. The older kings had mythological reigns of hundreds of years that led directly back in time to the primordial rule of gods. Some bad kings were simply excluded from the king lists altogether.

The Coptic calendar was synchornized to the Julian calendar:

> Year 1 in the Coptic calendar started on August 29, 284 in the Julian calendar. It was the year that Diocletian became Roman Emperor. In commemoration of the widespread prosecution of Christians during that era, years in the Coptic calendar are designated A.M., which is short for Anno Martyrum, Year of the Martyrs.

​

> Every nationalist group in the region is doing this. There's now a Berber calendar, invented in France in the 1970s, that goes to like 6500 to a mythical date when they claim a Berber king invaded Egypt. Then there's the Assyrian calendar where in the 1950s they decided to set it at 6700. Now we have this random figure for us. It's all just patriotic dick measuring

​

The Coptic calendar is 1736 years old, and there's evidence of the begninnings an ancient Egyptian calendar found from 3 thousand BC ( Clagetts Ancient Egyptian Science: A source book. Volume Two. Calendars, Cloks, and Astronomy )

​

With all do respect, anything that doesn't fit the arab nationalist narrative you immediately dismiss as "patriotic dick measuring". What do you think Egyptians used before the Arab conquest to keep track of the date? We just lived in the dark and didn't have a calendar lmfao. This is not a "random figure" - ignorance about where something comes from does not mean it didn't exist, my good sir.

There are plenty of traditional Islamic scholars that have refuted Da'esh in theology. Right now off the top of my head I can link you this book (its one of the most famous)


Refuting ISIS by Sh. Muhammad Al Yaqoubi


"...penned this second edition to further elaborate on many important topics, such as the prohibition of burning human beings, the abolition of slavery, and Islam’s position towards minorities. New subjects are also tackled, such as the invalidity of excommunicating Muslim rulers for not applying certain aspects of Shari’ah, Islam’s position towards democracy, and the prohibition of destroying pre-Islamic monuments and sacred sites. Several other topics benefitted from more rigorous proofs, especially the section confirming that ISIS criminals have left the fold of Islam and are no longer Muslims."


Have a read on the review on Goodreads and tell me what you think.


Edit: Formatting

Convicted murderers would stay in prison for the rest of their lives, just like in every civilized country in the world.

The government should not be allowed to murder people outside of war, full stop. The government should not be allowed to torture people, or to imprison people with no charges or due process. We need to expect more and value life more.

The US has the death penalty, and it is completely corrupt. I recently read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Sun-Does-Shine-Freedom-Selection/dp/1250124719/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1569585926&sr=8-1 , about an innocent man who was on death row for 30 years. I will never be able to support the death penalty anywhere. Do you think that Egypt can do it better?
