Thread: Italians and Firearms

His followers likewise. Christian Palestinian arabs don't attack Jews or blow themselves up.1

Sadly arabs who formerly lived in Palestine are not integrated by their host nations. In Lebanon for example, they are not allowed to own houses or land - laws were passed to this effect to keep the Jewish-Palestinian grievance alive (source: saw it on Al Jazeera, surprised they broadcast such a damning indictment, to their credit). Israel on the other hand has fully integrated Jews expelled from arab countries, but expulsions in that direction were not talked about in our history lessons.

As for the Romans/Italians. Not sure they are any less safer or not on the roads or out hunting. NZ ranks No 17 in the world in terms of gun ownership, 26.3 guns per 100 persons. Italy ranks No 41, with 14.4 guns per 100. (Source: Wikipedia) But not sure where they get the numbers from. Does not count FAL holders of course, and Italians may of course just have fewer and nicer guns, with slings made of finer leather etc etc. But hey, let's give them of their own medicine and crucify them over their hunting deaths.

I think you have got some of this history mixed up. The Roman plan for the Holy land was approved by the Pope around 900AD with attacks on European Jews starting in 1096. The Vatican later negotiated with and financed Muhammad to help annihilate the Jews. But when the Islamic forces captured Jerusalem in the name of the Prophet the Pope was blocked from moving the Vatican there. Muhammad then protected everyone from Rome. So I guess this shows the Italians have always been poor shots as they seem to be to this day
If we could find out actual statistics, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Israel shot more civilians as a percentage than any other nation. What is your opinion of the Talmud decree that 'If a Goy (non jew) strikes a jew then it is right for the jew to kill the Goy because the Goy is not a real Human' unquote ?.
What is your opinion of the Israeli firebombing and sinking of the USS Liberty and machine-gunning of the surviving Coms. staff and crew in lifeboats ?
