    pataki (Bob Dornan) is also goo,d so are fooker (krazyhorse) and zorba (DinoDoc).

    Ich bin immer lustig.

    Bist du ein Grieche der bei uns lebt oder ein giechischstämmiger unsriger? In letzterem Falle hättest du aber sicher ne andere Rhetorik gewählt

    I don't think I'd call you Taliban, Imran. But (no offense intended) you are much closer to the Taliban's views than many of us here.

    Eh. You guys worry too much about Pak's insults. I'm more irritated that he accuses me of falsifying information than his insults, as they're pretty poor ones.

    To me "Imran" sounds like "Iran" so I think you are a Persian follower of Zoroastrianism.

    As for the muslim signs that replaced the Christian ones, they seem like cheap signs.

    This has nothing to do with Islam, it is their material that seem cheap. And they don't fit aesthetically in a Christian temple as Agia Sophia is.
    Umm.. Isn't ancient Temple of Zeus? With giant statue of Zeus with Sophia sprite in hand?

    Thanks for your lovely view of the temple mount. I wonder if we could improve the dome, just as muslims improved the hagia? ive been there, and the inscriptions are very cluttered looking, at least to my eyes. How about a nice simple inscription in Hebrew in memory of the ancient Beit ha mikdash (temple)? Nah, better not. But it would be nice if yasser and friends would at least acknowledge that the temple WAS there, and that Israel should control the sub soil.

    Cleaning up of accounts.

    Wow, so much attention to me, post after post

    Let's get things straight.

    Actually very few people here have figured me out, amongst them Chris62 and Slowwhand and also Sprayber although he might have some doubts still

    I troll as do most people here. Echtelinaki trolls, Shi trolls and lots of others troll too.

    Trolling is not meant to depict what your real thoughts are about whatever a matter, it is meant to piss off and infuriate, confuse and patronize.

    Sometimes, I do it first, other times I just respond. But it is trolling and some people apparently have had a hard time because of it considering their counter - trolls.

    I would expect them to know better, and actually I think they do know better

    But to admit it would be to spoil their own trolling or counter trolling.

    That's all folks. And white paint is not better than golden mosaics Of course this is only my opinion even though it makes me "nationalist" to the eyes of my former foes and now vicious trolls

    I know what I believe and trollins has nothing to do with it, I hope you know what you believe in too

    Cheers
