Egypt doesn't understand the Olympic Games, or sportsmanship

Politics and islam here we go again. I suppose there will be no version of a Christmas Truce with these guys. I expect those days are gone.

This is an example of simple bad behavior, intolerance and poor sportsmanship. If the guy wouldn't bow (traditional) or shake the other's hand (modern option), then he should have simply forfeit. Why didn't he? Because if he had won, he would've gloated.

Time for Israel to take back the Gaza Strip.

    This BLM business is disgusting! BO has set back racial relations 20 years or more, by not stepping in and pushing back on this. It is irresponsible, and he simply fans the flames for the benefit of the democrats and himself.
    A felon shot in MKE and there are riots! WTF.

    "All Lives and Property Matters' would be a much more appropriate rallying point!

    ...but if a republican makes a statement about a woman or minority, "this country" is all over them. I guess the muslims get special dispensation because their "culture" doesn't teach them better, and they just need nurturing.

    Outside our head like an energy field? That part sounds like Dianetics.

    I just saw a blurb on this looking in Wiki. I read Scientific American Mind all the time. Will look into it. Thanks.

    These are the people that this country is bending over backward to be tolerant too. No women's rights no tolerance to Jews or Christians or gays or atheists. It is their way or the highway.

    Recall, recognizing and normalizing relations with Israel had Sadat assassinated 5 years later.

    Yaser Arafat understood that. To settle a truce with Isreal ment the end of the line for him. Similar to Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton their business is Racism and it has become a growth business with
    Barry. The spouting out about black lives matter is a racially charged tactic for division of us the real deal is all lives matter.

    Julian Jaynes: the break down of the bicameral mind. (since I've been studying quantum physics, I would replace the word/concept: "Mind" with Brain)
    The ability for one to have "self introspection" observing one's behavior is a correct definition of consciousness which gives us our conscience and it all gives way to our mind. - outside our heads like an energy field.
    He talks about the illusionary voice because we have no idea if it was their own voice as we understand now, which speaks for our subconscious, in a manner of conscience...which records everything. (That's just a little bit evolved from his original work)

    Also, take a look at spiral dynamics by Ken Wilbur. He categorizes the levels of awareness into memes.

    Laughing at the subspecies...maybe?! but reasonably, we all existed in this state until about 12 or 1500 years BC, we see it the writings and the use of metaphors but, the bicameral brain still exists in our heads, it's comfortable to just stay there, it's automatic and there is no responsibility but the difference between those conscious and introspective and those not is the lack of cooperation between the halves. Having that cooperation gives way to the mind which allows one conscious to observe one's own behavior. (conscience?)
    Haven't we been observing people that are just not aware of the actions, what they are saying nor the consequences they have created...like being responsible for killing people as a result of their decisions or actions...any one come to mind here...I can promise you...she comes to no mind...it's all bicameral brain for her. The same for most muslims and sadly...a good part of the rest of the world.

    Agree. Motivations just like Munich in '72. Shocked that islamic women can practice judo, or fencing for that matter.

    My guess would be islam was not all pervasive until the ottorman empire...I might check that out. It certainly wouldn't take sophisticated language skills and concepts to do that...it's brain work.

    You also must remember that even a brain, unaware of itself can do amazing things...self introspection is not necessary to devise battle plans. Bicameral man would have no problem using a computer...laughing, many use them and dumb phone while not being aware of self, without a conscience and not even using a mind.
    Think about that, ya gota laugh.

    I watched this as it happened...it illustrated the issue nicely..Israel extending its hand, islam refusing, back peddling, while looking like the hand is diseased and highly contagious. Btw, this isn't he only instance - Saudi's refused (vehemently) to allow the Israeli team to ride on the same bus to the opening event; and I believe it was fencing or judo where the islamic women REFUSED to compete with the Israeli woman and instead forfeited the match.

    This is why there is no peace, only one side tries.

    How come they invented optics, chess etc back in the Middle Ages, or was that Persia, before islam?

    Man, those two guys look like they could be brothers.

    You have to realize something about islamic muslims (actually one in the same) they are what's called a Preliterate society. It's not that they are poor at their language but their language itself is poor and doesn't express many of the concepts we in the west take for granted...that is why they are still bicameral like, not much different than early OT mankind...just never grew up.
