Look. True Paternia is a proper political party. They hate you. They want you dead. Why would they oppose the very forces that are trying to destroy you? @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Well, Operation Typhoon is complete. Our army firmly occupies all of Canada. They truly enjoy having western-style law.
Burqas are burned as imams, seen as the agents of the hated Awwami regime, are killed. The ARI and Paternian Army has attempted to stop this killing, but the anger of the people was clear.
Remember, not everyone likes Sharia law. M.Corp at one point refused to sell you ships when he learned that Awwam was basically a new Ottoman Empire. As a Serbian, he didn't like that. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
True Paternia hates you. They were the ones who petitioned that we send weapons to the ARI. Their statements are consistently anti-Awwami. They have pledged their support for us. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
And these reports come from the 48th Infantry, a unit comprise of former Awwami slaves who have fled and now fight for us. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
The people of Camada are rejoicing our army's presence. In Quebec, just as our armies would enter the territory, the ARI launched a massive coup against the Awwami government. Canada is ours. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Given that you probably live in Saudi Arabia (a nation with plenty of Internet censorship), I would not be surprised. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Several bits of news:
1) We have assumed defense of Sals
2) We have established a military presence in Iceland.
3) Alaska has been ceded to the Walrus Alliance. The Paternian Armed Forces shall remain present in the area. @GoldenEagle @Himynameiswalrus @Viper28
In this long story of the vessel, she will see the world, owned by many owners as a pleasure craft, until its final and most fateful end, a conclusion which will change the world.
@Makcoink My Pummelers are cheaper. The stated prices are merely if they are new-made.
The A-1B/D is almost free.
The A-1E/F/G is pretty close, since we have thousands of surplus aircraft.
The A-1H/I/K are more expensive, since these are much newer.
@Makcoink If you want a good attack plane, the Pummeler is a cheap option.
The A-1A Pummeler was a bureaucratic designation for any F-2A Pummelers converted to the A-1 standard. There were very few conversions, and all were converted to the B standard.
The A-1B/D are 1st generation Pummelers, featuring 2,000hp engines and a M2 propeller. The A-1B has 8 12.7mm machine guns in the wings and the A-1D has 4 30mm M8 cannons and 4 12.7mm machine guns in the wings. Both aircraft are otherwise identical.
The A-1E/F/G are 2nd generation Pummelers, and was the Pummeler as used in the GWW2. All three feature lengthened wings, enlarged tail fin, 3,000hp engines, and M3 propeller. All three feature six 30mm M9A1 cannon in the wings. The A-1F adds a pair of extra pylons and the A-1G has an extended canopy.
The A-1H/I/K Pummeler are 3rd generation Pummelers based off the A-1F and feature the most radical changes, including the use of a 4,000hp engine. The A-1H introduces a new wing design, allowing for greater maneuverability, the A-1I features improved handling and the A-1K features tricycle landing gear, freeing up space on the wings formerly taken by landing gear, maximizing the wing space on the Pummeler.
The A-1B/D will set you back P$10,000
The A-1E/F/G will set you back P$30,000
The A-1H/I will set you back P$50,000
The A-1K is not available now, since we are busy equipping it.
If you're wondering about why I didn't mention the A-1J, its because that's our catch-all definition for any Pummeler made in Japan, as they are distinct from regular Pummelers.
If you're worried about parts, know that 60,000 Pummelers of all variants were made. I'm sure it won't be hard to find parts.
The Rancor is a new type, and is likely to cost around P$75,000 or more. It's also a new plane. And that means there isn't a huge cache of parts around the world.
Well, the revisions were rather minor, and is most possibly related to the fact that the Bible, unlike the Koran, was translated into the local vernacular wherever it was taken. While the Koran was almost exclusively written in Arabic script, the Bible can be found in thousands of languages, spanning dozens of language groups. Some of these languages are no longer used widely, or are functionally extinct.
Ancient biblical texts recovered in various regions are very similar to the modern Bible, and it is possible to know which part of the Bible said texts came from.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Religious extremism or religious fundamentalism (the terms are used quite interchangeably), as defined in the West, are groups which denotes an unwavering set of beliefs, and is characterized by:
Strict literalism of specific passages, dogmas, or ideologies,
Making distinctions with those who are not in the group (even those which religious beliefs have been derived from),
Rejection of diversity of opinion,
Emphasis on purity, and a
Desire to return to a previous state which is thought to have strayed from.
We believe that Awwam is an example of a fundamentalist Islamic state, as it literally matches the definition:
Strict literalism (the jizya, initial suppression of Hindus and Buddhists before granting them dhimmi status, and rejection of all other legal systems in the territory other than those dictated by Sharia)
Making distinctions between peoples (referring to the Islamic practices of North African Muslims as inferior due to their extensive service in the Paternian Army and referring to all other nations as "khafji")
Rejection of diversity of opinion (rejecting use of local law and violent suppression of the ARI, contrasting with the integration of True Paternia as a proper political party in Paternia)
Emphasis on purity (Unusually strict implementation of Sharia and Islam)
Desire to return to a previous state (mentioning that almost all previous Muslim governments are not truly Muslim).
North African (specifically, Salish) Muslims do not believe the caliphate represents them because of the aforementioned reasons, having enjoyed prosperity under a secular government. As the Salish government allowed the Paternian military to recruit, train, organize, and operate in and from Salish territory, we actively recruited from said territory. Millions of Salish citizens joined to fight for a nation which they have never visited or even knew of before.
There, they served exceptionally well. Known as the Paternian Army of North Africa, they fought like lions and were led by tigers.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Yeah, 50 prayers a day is a bit extreme.
For Christians (well, according to my experience as one), it is before meals, before sleeping, in Church every Sunday (known as Mass), and during funerals. Special prayers are done for the four religious seasons: Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter. Advent is what is done through most of the year, Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus and has a special Mass and is of much celebration, Lent which is quite solemn, representing the 40 days which Jesus fasted in the desert and is marked by partial fasting and giving up certain luxuries in penance, and Easter aka Holy Week, which is marked by Good Friday (when Jesus is executed in Christian tradition) and Easter (when he rises from the grave like Lazarus).
I am unsure if the Koran mentions Lazarus. Basically, Jesus did many miracles, and one of them was bringing a man named Lazarus, who has been dead for some time, back to life as a normal person.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation No, there's always a trail.
And he would say such a thing, in the form of "we need to crack down on Islamic extremism (ex. Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, and Daesh)" because he knows his voter base: conservative, xenophobic, fundamentalist Christian, and white-supremacist Americans who think President Obama is a Kenyan Muslim (he's a half-Kenyan, half-American Protestant Christian born in the State of Hawaii).
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I do know that in the Old Testament (the first half of the Bible and the whole Jewish Torah), the story of the Jews led them from Palestine to Egypt, where the Egyptians then enslaved them. Later, a man named Moses (a Jew who was raised by Egyptian nobility) freed the Jews from the Egyptians, and made it back to Palestine in 40 years in what was known as the Exodus. It was during this time which Moses was given by God the Ten Commandments, a moral code which governs the lives of Jews, and later, Christians.
Here is all ten, just for comparison to the Five Pillars of Islam.
1) I am the Lord, thy God, (referring to Yahweh, the God of the Hebrew peoples, and the god which we refer to as the God, or as you refer to, Allah), thou shalt not have no other gods before me and thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. Basically, he's the boss, there's no other gods around, and don't make him look bad.
2) Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. Basically respect God's name as sacred.
3) Remember the Sabbath Day, and keep it holy. Basically, Saturday in Jewish tradition, and Sunday in Christian tradition, is to be kept as a day of rest.
4) Honor thy father and mother. I don't need explanation for this.
5) Thou shalt not kill. Basically, don't kill people. However, as the Bible has mentioned many circumstances where killing is justified, we believe that the proper phrase is "thou shalt not murder" for killing is justified in circumstances of extreme self-defense (such as someone attempting to kill you).
6) Thou shalt not commit adultery.
7) Thou shalt not steal
8) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor
9) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife
10) Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's possessions
@shukurneon Ummm, is the systematic killing of 1.5 million people coordinated by a national government justified in any world? This was the policy of the Ottoman Empire in 1915, and various nations, including the USA, Canada, the Islamic Republic of Iran, virtually all of South America, virtually all of Western Europe, and Greece recognizes the events of 1915 as a genocide of the Armenian people.
Twenty years ago, the Armenian Army killed between 485 and 615 people, depending on the source, and had military justification: a Finnish source indicates that Azerbaijani militiamen were interspersed with civilians, and although the Armenians (who were not under orders to do so) were at fault for shooting at them, the Azerbaijani forces were not protecting civilians.
In the meantime, 101 years ago, the Armenian Genocide had 1.5 million people slaughtered on the orders of a national government (Ottoman Empire) from the highest levels. They used virtually any excuse to kill as many of them. Take the town of Van, for example. As part of the massacre, the Ottoman Army descended upon the city to deport them to death, which the city of Van decided to stand and fight. Then the Ottomans had the balls to use that as an excuse to kill 55,000 people. Most witnesses believe the conduct of civilians in Van was an act of self-defense. Only when the Russian Army arrived did the Ottomans give up.
So don't think that soldiers not operating under orders in order to engage clearly marked and openly hostile militia which uses civilians as human shields is the same as the systematic policy of genocide toward an entire ethnic population from the highest levels of government.
1) This works well, although jizya is not a part of English Common Law. I suggest a "tributary tax" which applies to all citizens
2) We've abolished slavery. Even prisoners must be paid median wage for their work. @Supermini555

@RMark1 @PINK @Himynameiswalrus Alea Iacta Est.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation I believe you (as in Awwam) just lost access to the best active ship builder on this site.
Given that you probably live in Saudi Arabia (a nation with plenty of Internet censorship), I would not be surprised. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Ehh... We've found that it has adapted once again.
Also, do you know what is the deep web? @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
It's his land. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
YOU CANNOT DELETE THE INTERNET @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
He let me establish a military presence in Iceland. @Viper28 back me up here. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
@EternalDarkness Also of note, if you build ships for Awwam, you're basically building ships for a new Ottoman Empire.
They've given up. And they're in your network. @Mudkip

Because "required cleansing of the population's filth" sums up Donald Trump's stance on Muslims.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Actually, the concept of slavery is more ancient than the prophet Abraham.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Which one, killing 1.5 million Armenians?
