    I don't think so, Poland was traditionally hostile to Russia which is why the USSR decided to not allow free elections.

    But again, the majority of uprisings didn't occur until they were inspired by the capitalist pressure of the Cold War.

    At one point in the 50's, there was an uprising in Hungary as the people did not want communism. The USSR literally killed thousands of people to keep it communist.

    I know of the killings. It's not surprising it fell apart lol. But saying it depended on expansion is just misconstruing their historic isolationist nature.

    What an embarrassing post. Have you read Quran or at least some book about that religion? Every religion is peaceful at its core. People are inherently bad and have a penchant for manipulating words for their own interests. I swear to god what is your source of knowledge? Internet memes and some half-professional articles from unknown websites?

    The culprit of terrorism in 21st century is a mainly social status of the people. Religion is only a tool you dumbasses.

    Do you realize there are multiple schools of islam? There are violent ones but certainly not all of them. There are more than 1 billion Muslims across the world and you should know that generally they're very peaceful people.

    yeah thats the myth that people want to keep saying, that most muslims are peaceful. Thats irrelevant because violent muslims exist. It doesnt detract from the fact that Muslim extremists exist. Period. Sharia law exists in many middle eastern countries. Sharia law ls embedded into muslim society so dont tell me they are non violent.

    of course there are many different sub factions and schools of Islam. Some are violent. Some aren't. There are no shining star examples of peaceful "moderate" countries, Liberals like to bring up Indonesia and Turkey as examples but even those countries have problems with religion being interjected into government, like every other Muslim country.

    These countries have some variation of Sharia Law: Egypt, Mauritania, Sudan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, the Maldives, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and certain regions in Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, and the United Arab Emirates. Mixed systems are the most common in Muslim-majority countries.

    Even a mixed system of sharia law is terrible but sure muslims are non violent!!

    "When asked if Islam is a peaceful religion, Qureshi said that the majority of Muslims are peaceful, but that Islam itself has many expressions, saying that one must first explore what Islam is before being able to answer the question.

    “When I think of the word ‘Islam’ I’m thinking of the historical core of the faith, the religion that Muhammad left before centuries of tradition were added to it,” he said. “And if you’re looking at Islam that way, then there’s no question Islam is not a religion of peace. Muhammad used violence.”

    As for “jihad” — a Muslim term that has sparked social and political debate — he said that it was originally the Arabic word for “struggle,” but that it is used in the Koran many times to discuss violent struggle.

    "As you see it used in Muhammad’s life in the hadith — the collection of traditions and stories from Muhammad’s life — we see it becomes a term that encapsulates fighting to advance or promote Islam or even to defend [it] at times,” Qureshi said."

    Ah yes Islam is peaceful at its core

    You can be a fundamentalist Muslim and be peaceful, I don't think you understand that.

    It's obvious that you will find violent people in such a huge group lol

    There are violent catholics, agnostics and atheists. Show me some statistics that prove what you're saying. There are countries in Africa where Islam isn't a main religion, but the crime rate is as high as in those countries you've mentioned. The violence comes from poverty not from religion. Why can't you understand that?

    You can tell this about Christianity as well. It doesn't lead to anything.

    EDIT: Besides, I apologize for using word 'dumbasses'. I'm getting very emotional when it comes to the topic such as islam and terrorism.

    I'm not talking about the cause of the violence, and the extremism, that is a different story entirely. There are many reasons that they hate Americans and the reason they commit terrorism etc. I'm not talking about that.

    Of course there are violent catholics, agnostics, and atheists.. That's not the point, at all. It's just a deflection on your part. Radical Islam is a threat, its a bigger threat than radical catholics, or atheists, at the moment. Does that mean all muslims are bad? no of course not. but they are having a lot of problems right now. Not all muslims have to answer for all the s-----y things that the radicals did. I understand that. But they also have to clearly speak out and distinguish themselves from the radicals.

    What I am arguing is, that the ideology of Islam is dangerous and at its core it's violent and not right. When they believe in things like Women being property, adultery being punishable by death, brutal executions for non believers, gays etc, for those reasons i simply don't agree with Islam and i think it's a bad thing. If you are a "moderate" muslim and you don't embrace those things, then that is good.

    no s---. catch up. I already said that all religion is bs. this aint exclusive to islam
