I might enjoy stirring up a little controversy, but I wouldn't call it trolling. To troll would mean I don't actually believe what I said. Then you are severely misguided. Mosques are places of worship. People visit them to pray and practice their religion. No conquest necessary; it's just not the purpose of the building. Sure, you can question their motives if you really want, but you can question anybody's motives if you really want (for example, I could question whether you only want to buy a house so you can use it as a meth lab). Such speculation is largely baseless; the proponents have no history of radicalism or anything. There's nothing about this particular project that should logically require any more scrutiny than any other unless you hold the practice of Islam to be an inherently suspicious activity. If you accept that it is not, then subjecting the builders' motives to more scrutiny than you would anyone else would seem to imply a double standard of some sort. :shame: So there's that. Now, let's dissect your original statement: Okay, first problem. Mosques are built in areas where Muslims have had military victories. Building something in a territory you're occupying does not make that building a symbol of conquest. For example, American soldiers in Afghanistan might build schools in Afghan villages. Schools are not a symbol of conquest. Second, America guarantees everyone the right to their places of worship (within the relevant zoning restrictions, of course). Upholding that right is not an admission of defeat; I'm sure many would agree with me when I say it's exactly the opposite. Third, who exactly would be defeating us anyway? The Muslims worshiping there would be ordinary, everyday citizens. It's not as if it's supposed to be a base of operations for Al Qaeda. The mere presence of Muslims in the vicinity of Ground Zero is in no way a victory for terrorism--in fact, the strength of opposition to this project is high-octane propaganda fuel for those same terrorists. They gain much more if it's scrapped or relocated than if it's actually built as planned. Or, in short: No. :ugeek:

Yeah and you'd better have like 99 agility, since I think the traps in Isafdar can one-hit you at 10 HP. :-?

Right, so in other words, you're trolling. :thumbdown:

Okay, I'm gonna stop you here. Why? Why are you questioning the motives behind erecting this building (which for the record is not actually a mosque)? You have no reason to do so. You're just making baseless assumptions that anyone who's Muslim is automatically associated with...I don't know, radical overthrowing of our culture or something. That's ridiculous. (Also, no duh. Muhammad wasn't even born until, like, the 6th century C.E.)

I guess hinting at you giving me some evidence instead of your mere hearsay wasn't enough. Many mosques were originally "worship houses" for the people that the Muslims have defeated. Go look it up - there is a strong correlation between defeating enemies and then building mosques over the conquered's land. Now I'm not claiming to know whether this actually is symbol of conquest or not (hence why I specifically said the words "IF this is true"), but I am definitely not going to completely dismiss the idea if the best rebuttal you can come up with is literally, "NO TATS NOT TRUE," twice in a row now. "Hey guess what, I heard that what they're really building is a VAMPIRE MOSQUE where they lure innocent people inside and turn them into VAMPIRES! Now I'm not claiming to know if this is true or not. I'm just saying it might be true. And don't just go telling me I'm wrong unless you can offer some proof." Seriously, there's nothing to prove. All you did was pull some random [cabbage] out of your ass and treat it as if it were plausible. Why should I have to disprove something that you just made up?

That's like saying a Christian church is honouring Hitler. No, Hitler didn't do what he did for Christianity. Fine then, it's like saying a Christian church is honoring the Inquisition.

No, it would actually be nothing like that. :thumbdown:

Which raises the question of why this is at all disrespectful to anyone in any way for people to practice it.

If all you know about Islam is that it's the religion that extremist terrorist groups follow, then you don't know what Islam is. It's like saying we shouldn't allow falafel carts near Ground Zero because falafel is a food that the extremists who caused the 9/11 attacks and many other extremists groups would eat. Its not all I know about Islam. Do you prefer: "Islam is a religion that does not have many woman's rights."? Okay, let me rephrase that: If you consider that (or that) to be the most important thing you know about Islam, or even a thing about Islam worth mentioning in the context of this discussion, then you don't know what Islam is.

The less time you have available for making money, the worse Barrows gets. It's a very good moneymaker, but that's after you average it out over many hours. In the short term, you run a risk of hitting a dry streak and falling short of the profit you need to complete your goal. With this in mind, runite would probably be the safer choice, even though Barrows has the potential to be better.

A religion that the extremists who caused the 9/11 attacks and many other extremists groups follow. In other words, no.

Do you know what Ground Zero is? Do you know what Islam is?

Does quest cape count? Cuz I'd vote for that one.

Yeah, go with the d'hide body. The attack is more important.

Okay then... What should I think if somebody says, "It is."? You should think that they're wrong, because it isn't. It's just a load of garbage with no basis in fact or reality that you made up on the spot. :thumbdown:

Yes, two weeks' notice allows you to train your skills. Otherwise it'd be unbuyable, period. With two weeks, the GE has time to adjust prices to reflect demand, which is a good thing. And worse, if it was announced without the time to prepare, there'd be no time to DIY either.

Which is isn't. :wall: The dead and their families. Which dead? Whose families? How is this disrespectful to them? That makes no sense.

No, I wouldn't say disgusting really, i would probably put unfitting instead. But i'm not American, so i haven't bothered commenting this on a larger scale. I'm not American either, but I still think whether it's mean to be or not, this is a shot at those who died and I couldn't think of a bigger way to disrespect them. Who exactly is being disrespected here, and how?

Are you in sarcasm mode here? Because yes. It does. It absolutely does. No... - 2 weeks of many raw materials being unbuyable and at inflated prices, then a week or two for the GE graphs to stabilize before its back to normal. - 1-2 days of raw materials being unbuyable and then it returns back to normal. But hey, im not complaining. Its giving my 2k water talismans two extra weeks to rise in price, more money for me :shades: Except that 2 weeks' notice allows you to actually train your skills during the bonus xp weekend. So there's that.

I'm not a big fan of the full set. The individual pieces are okay, especially the top and the wreath which are pretty sweet, but I don't like the bottom. It bugs me how it doesn't match up with the top. And the staff is kinda meh; it's just a stick.

Nomad's Requiem did indeed come out after Temple at Senntisten. That said, I have to agree that this was a good quest, particularly the barrel puzzle, which I found delightfully challenging.

This, except when they PM me about it.

Definitely the Daemonheim bosses. Just all of them. They're well-designed with all sorts of cool mechanics that force you to use a real strategy during the fights.

You should stick to slayer. If you really must kill a specific monster for them, the only ones besides slayer tasks worth killing are TDs, DKs, Bork, and Skeletal Horror.
