Revenge of the Leaders through the Ages compilation thread

[ixnay]

Added higher quality ancient Genghis pic from latest screens.

[kring]

Those bug eyes of Isabella are freaky enough.

[History Guy]

Ixnay--

Now, we have to badger Firaxis for a picture of Hannibal Barca!!

[JtheJackal]

I was right about the picture being of Osman!

[GoodFella]

Poor Ghengis, Firaxis has turned him into an Ancient drag queen.

I can't imagine what his defeated screen looks like.

[Odin]

I checked the screenshots and Abu Bakr, an early caliph, is the Arab leader.

[ixnay]

Yes, I added him a few days ago.

[History Guy]

Odin-- Ummm...yes. Not only was Abu Bakr an early caliph, he was the first, and in his two year reign he conquered the whole of Arabia. He was Muhammad's right-hand man, and the father of Muhammad's six-year old wife...hmmm...

[Andrew_Jay]

History Guy; are you saying some guy had an affair with the wife of Allah's prophet?

[History Guy]

No, darn it. I meant to say "six-year old wife"...

...Now I'm probably on some hit list...

[History Guy]

In essence, what I meant was that Abu Bakr was Muhammad's father-in-law, and his six-year old daughter was Muhammad's wife...

[Gangerolf]

So the founder of Islam was a sicko?

[ixnay]

Something like that. But save it for another thread!

Different time & a different moral code. That, & he proboly didn't have sex with her until she was older.

[History Guy]

Darkworld Ark--

You are quite incorrect. At the time, Muhammad marrying a six year old was considered quite scandalous, but the prophet said that Allah had allowed him the privaledge to marry this...kid. I suppose someone as devoted as Abu Bakr wouldn't have argued.

Ixnay--

Whoops...sorry, guy.
