I gave the mod a try, playing as the Terrorists on noble. Either the terrorists are way too overpowered, or the nearby states are too underpowered. In 25 turns, I have conquered all of North Africa (Including Egypt), Mali, East Africa, parts of sub-Saharan Africa, all of the Middle East...

I don't think the obvious has been said. You're being ****olded, plain and simple. Cut off all contact with this women. This is not a dignified relationship at all. She probably is using open marriage as a front to ****old you, because she can count on you being faithful. Don't even try being...

Immigration is such a big topic, because how much a country benefits from immigration depends on the type of immigrants a country is allowing into the country, as well as its social policies. The best kind of immigrant is someone who is a skilled labourer (and the skill is in demand), is...

A Muslim friend of mine sent me a text of this guy and also texted, "What an idiot, right?"

There are several major principles of a democracy, and we can use these to how democratic an Islamic government can be. Equality of political rights: Which basically means that every citizen of a country has the right to vote and one person's vote is not worth more than the other. We...

The same could have been said about the French revolution when it occurred. Revolutionary processes take time. Five years is too small of a timeline for any real change to occur.

Thought I might put this here. An in depth explanation by Islamic scholars as to why ISIS and their ideology is flawed or goes against Islamic principles: http://www.lettertobaghdadi.com/
