It has been theorized that the extreme heat provides a higher state of physiological arousal, and that this at times leads to a form of aggression similar to the concept of "pain elicited aggression". This concept I believe is improperly using the term "pain" in its label, a more apt description should be "arousal induced aggression". Also, a similar concept is the excitation transfer theory, again improperly described.

Apperantly so.

That however leaves a gap as to the progress of Egyptians for example, who also lived in the rather hot part of world (although I am not sure at the climate differance)

I absolutely love how perfectly controversial you are... 😱

Why thank you.
I just stated what I heard about. I didn't imply it is gospel truth, just a theory.

I despise lazy, ignorant people, who like to hop on collective stupidity train, and bleet on ''safe truths'' for which they know no consiqeunce will befall them.

As far as Islam and controversy goes - I don't believe its controvertail, at all.
Just because some Muslims and all dhimmis deny the truth of Islam does not make it a controversy at all in my eyes.
Only a few years ago Sheikh Baaz in Saudi Arabia issued a fatwa that any one who said the Earth is round is Kafir. Obviously this did not go very far but he started a controversy. Do you doubt the shape of the Earth because someone started contraversy. Of course you don't. You look at the facts.

Intelligent people are not affected by controversies. They look at the facts and are not swayed by hearsays. Feeble-minded people become confused and do not know which way to turn. These people switch off and avoid the issue altogether, because for them, making a decision is not an easy task.
Alternatively, they join in a choir of other like minded people and sing along to whatever they think people wanna hear.

Aggression isn't the only behavior that would return the body back to homeostasis, the Egyptians built. It's that build up of internal physiological arousal that needs to be released, aggression is just a common release.

The way I look at it, if you were a public figure and you said that there would be a huge Muslim outcry. Remember the "Behead those who insult Islam" placards and riots and death threats and things, I imagine Muslims would react in a similar way here. The problem is, Muslims are not secure enough, and maybe a little hot headed too...however, I think what you say is brilliant and accurate...Muslims over react.

How would have Christians acted 500 to 1000 years ago?

Well, that was then...this is the year 2007...besides, the Church was more corrupt than modern day China.

😱 😆

The common thread between the two is not time, but people. Under the right circumstances, Christians would fly airplanes into building too. 😉

No, I don't think so, the faith has evolved and the central message is peace. Islam however is more than happy to advocate Ji had.

No it wont, you've essentially just attempted to pull a Socrates with the Euthyphro dilemma.

double post

No not really, all you have done is attempted to recreate the Euthyphro dilemma.

However, I was surprised that I got any Christian to say yes.

I'm not, there are many Christians who don't care what the Bible says, Jesus himself said that God would not give such an order, and if you believed he would give such an order, then you are not a true believer.

It is the week who will do the bidding of the strong.
If Christianity was under attack, be it true or imaginary, wouldn’t some people commit acts of violence in the name of Jesus?

Most likely, but then, that happens with many ideologies, not just religious ones.

That is why I say the common thread is people. 😄

Well, man tends to react with violence when he is endangered.

I think this answers a lot of the questions about Islam, and leads to another question. Do the terrorists believe that their religion is under attack?

Ofcourse they do, Osama says Islam is in danger from evil western corruption.

Like most religions, it has a built in persecution complex.
