>If Islam despises Christianity, it has a thousandfold right to do so: Islam at least assumes that it is dealing with men. The AntiChrist, Chapter 59
>Christianity destroyed for us the whole harvest of ancient civilization, and later it also destroyed for us the whole harvest of Mohammedan civilization. The wonderful culture of the Moors in Spain, which was fundamentally nearer to us and appealed more to our senses and tastes than that of Rome and Greece, was trampled down ( I do not say by what sort of feet ) Why? Because it had to thank noble and manly instincts for its origin because it said yes to life, even to the rare and refined luxuriousness of Moorish life! The crusaders later made war on something before which it would have been more fitting for them to have grovelled in the dust a civilization beside which even that of our nineteenth century seems very poor and very "senile." What they wanted, of course, was booty: the orient was rich. Let us put aside our prejudices! The crusades were a higher form of piracy, nothing more! The German nobility, which is fundamentally a Viking nobility, was in its element there: the church knew only too well how the German nobility was to be won . The German noble, always the "Swiss guard" of the church, always in the service of every bad instinct of the church but well paid . Consider the fact that it is precisely the aid of German swords and German blood and valour that has enabled the church to carry through its war to the death upon everything noble on earth! At this point a host of painful questions suggest themselves. The German nobility stands outside the history of the higher civilization: the reason is obvious. Christianity, alcohol the two great means of corruption. Intrinsically there should be no more choice between Islam and Christianity than there is between an Arab and a Jew. The decision is already reached; nobody remains at liberty to choose here. Either a man is a Chandala or he is not. "War to the knife with Rome! Peace and friendship with Islam!" : this was the feeling, this was the act , of that great free spirit, that genius among German emperors, Frederick II. What! must a German first be a genius, a free spirit, before he can feel decently ? I can't make out how a German could ever feel Christian . The AntiChrist, Chapter 69

Reductive bullshit per usual; you are boring! Nietzsche speaks of a history that, for us, is lost in a chasm of centuries old propaganda. His message is obvious, Islamic Moorish culture is preferable to the venal, slavish culture of Christian Germany.

christianity; in essence life/self-denying, slave morality, national state, alcohol inherent in religion, northern (bourgeois, narrow-minded, melanchonic)
Islam: "manly" (will to power), "southern" (life affirming, gay, as in boisterous not like buttseks), no alcohol, no nation state
Luis Sanders
You mean the texts that were translated by Christians and still held in Byzantium?
Leo Thompson
That's his point, that the Moors had inherited the ethos of the ancients while the European Christians abandoned it.
Nicholas Hughes
They didn't. They were still fiercely Islamic.
Oliver Thomas
>fiercely Islamic What did you mean by this?

People don't understand the artistry in Nietzsche, even his tendency towards being something like a pathological liar all towards the goal of empowering himself and unsettling others. Nietzsche probably didn't really believe or wasn't really sure about half the cultural critiques and comparisons he made; he was just doing it for shits. Openly extolling Islam was just something he did because of how controversial, ridiculous, and hilariously baffling it was according to social norms of the times, and to further denigrate Christianity. You have to realize that Nietzsche is not being literal, not positing his value judgment as ultimate, but glorying in his own subjectivity. There are parts of Nietzsche that are more or less sincere and straightforward expositions of his beliefs, and parts that are just destructive work of his, trying to break every icon of culture and unsettle the reader with hilariously contrarian viewpoints.

It sounds like Nietzsche just never got touched by the Holy Spirit. Assuming he really means what he says when he doesn't understand how a German could be Christian.
Jackson Roberts

>a few great men But it wasn't just that. Great men are products of great culture. Nietzsche is saying the Moorish culture is great and you can't say why it was not because you don't know fuck all about it and you refuse to face the fact that a venerable thinker doesn't think like you.
Jason Miller
Yeah it's me. Look. I fucked up. I destroyed what little hope western culture had without filling the void left by my destruction. I completely annihilated the hopes and dreams of millions without giving them any substitute. Left alone to walk to the earth deaf dumb and blind. I still hear the call to prayer from those moors, five times a day. We have yet to fully comprehend what force they wrought on this earth. I betrayed our people and left them to the mercy of these fearless warriors. My God, what have I done?
Jose Thompson
I can see why you would disbelieve that. It must be a rare thing for your people
Anthony Robinson
A faith that can move mountains. Bringing the dead back to life. Overthrowing all known order and turning it upside down. The last shall be first and the first shall be last. Did not come with an olive branch but with a sword. To turn son against father and brother against brother. The beatitudes which extolled a rigorous ethos and not one for the masses, he explicitly said few would find it. "Ye are gods". He was literally teaching a way of becoming divine, or a way of using your own divinity.
Leo Clark

g*rmans were a mistake desu
Jack Lewis
It's entirely false. The reason for the collapse of the Umayyad dynasty in Spain was due to infighting from the Umayyads being seen as decadent. The kings that rose from that collapse later invited the Almoravids because they were concerned about their Christian neighbors and because the Almoravids were considered to be very pious.
Being warriors does not make them more in line with Western thought.
Jordan Morgan
No I believe you

>Great men are products of great culture. And the West has always produced more great men. >and you can't say why it was not because you don't know fuck all about it and you refuse to face the fact that a venerable thinker doesn't think like you. You sound hysterical and stupid. Nietzsche himself hasn't given a single proof of this culture's greatness
Dylan Robinson
If you want to believe Nietzsche's belief that a rice-based diet led to the Chinese becoming addicted to opium and a diet based on potatoes led to the Russian becoming addicted to vodka, go ahead. I'm glad I'm not such a slave that I feel obliged to believe all of Nietzsche's pseudo-anthropology uncritically --- a thing, by the way, which would have made him think you a slave for so doing. I also couldn't give less of a fuck about Muslim culture, and so do not have any "deeply-rooted prejudices" Nietzsche is challenging in me.

That's entirely why he is wrong. They weren't noble warriors or mystical or anything of the sort.

The moments religions begin to take power and become institutionalised it becomes vulnerable to corruption from the inside. A general overview will affirm this. Islam as a philosophy in-itself is flawless.
Ryan Peterson
>I can't make out how a German could ever feel Christian . >Nietzsche criticized the "strong races of northern Europe" for accepting the Christian God and not creating a new god of their own. "Almost two thousand years — and not a single new god!" He maintained that the traditional Christian God of "monotono-theism" (Monotono–Theismus) supports "... all the instincts of decadence, all cowardices and weariness of the soul ... ." wtf I love Nietzsche now??
But seriously though he's correct. The Abrahamic religions were a fucking mistake, and to think that there are "people" even to this day who genuinely think any of those religions are good or that they "belong" to them(i.e. Europeans) is embarrassing. To think of all that's been lost is truly sad.
