RELIGIOUS SQUABBLES

A depiction of a Banu Hamad slaying a papal guard in battle

 

For many centuries the age-old Canonist Church has disrespected the Al’iiman Rashidun faith. Our Badawi way of life has allowed us to ignore this, while our brethren of Sultans and Caliphs took the fight. The stories of the White Man's church murdering, lying, and exploitation of Qalasheen are spread far and wide among each tent. We had planned to ignore these senseless factors in the new lands of the descendants and live peaceful lives in our desert. However, this has changed, With the continuous Sutican colonization of the desert that tears closer and closer into our lands daily, the church has become more open on their distaste of our religion and lifestyle. 

We of the family of Banu Hamad have only been defending our people from any outsider presence in our lives, as the only thing that follows a white bereaucrat or king, is controversy. We have fought and killed to maintain our freedom and livelihood from the ones who have continuously taken it in the past. Even though our cause may be noble, the church does not approve. A Qali day ago, Assassins' arrived into our camp trying to kill my son, Qahir. After many hours of fighting and blood from the very skilled men, a cease fire concluded the fight. The bandits informed us the church had hired them to assassinate my son, an outrage to be heard truly. 

We were denounced by the pathetic church for defending our desert from colonizers and called heretics. Though now they have directly challenged our way of life and are attempting to once again enslave the Qalasheen and dominate the nations with their fancy buildings and empty words. We will not allow this. We will not assimilate with the church, we will not be recognized as a sect, we will not break to the weak old men in wigs who must hire mercenaries to fight their battles. 

Until the Church offers reparations for their international crimes, The Banu Hamad urges all followers of the Rashidun faith to recognize the Church as a Cult with no holy backing. The Church in recent years has become more and more of an independent administration that does not tie with any nation, perhaps that's the reason for their incapable leadership and our respect for certain Canonist nations.

[AquaticWolf 286]

Hakim Bin Mutayr al-Hattan would be seated in his khayma, as the news of the Hamad statements were brought to him "I have spent my life worrying only of what concerned the tribe and Oasis, but these priests, they send men to kill our own, they defile my dwelling, any compassion for the church left in my heart is gone, may Allah Guide us a better future, and bring about a lasting peace between the Hamad and the Church." He'd state before those among Banu Hattan, eyeing his Seyf in the corner.

Cardinal Alfred chuckles at the missive, deciding to lit a fire with it.

[Clayphish 149]

"... Well, this isn't going to end well for them." Tahorran grimaces at reading this. "I thought the point of the tribe was to get up and move when trouble arrived. Why are they just sitting there in the face of total destruction? Everyone knows Oren is the largest war nation in Almaris, only ever rivaled in strength by the dwarves. Taking them on and making themselves a target is just asking to get wiped off the map." She sighs and lights a thin cigar. "I hope at least the nice ones and children can be slipped out before the crusaders start trampling this place."

[ibraheemc2000 2965]

Utayr sat in his tent, his elbows to his knees and hands folded together into a fist that rest on his lower lip.

"I may disagree with Amu Saqr on a few things.. but this.. I can't, he speaks the truth and I worry on what we can do to defend our people.. just in Al-Haensi a priest insulted me for whom I was.. May Allah protect us, and guide those who dislike us." Utayr quietly sat in his tent, eying his family's green turban, before looking to the camp fire which was smoking some recently hunted desert hares. "Allah knows best."

[Chrisoulis777 492]

Qahir al-hamad got up from his seat while he was listening on what his father was saying before nodding a few times "we shall not bow down to this cult that they call holy, the qalasheen stayed quited for too long now its our time to speak up" qahir would say with his deep voice as he glanced around his fellow hamads with a small smile on his face as he was feeling proud for his father words

[Timer 1978]

Francisco Cardinal Sutica laughs at the missive, then proceeds to show it to his Hyspian countrymen

[bugbytes21 790]

Padre Javier Fransisco-Altamirano would laugh so hard that he nearly bursts a vein, seeing this letter that crossed his desk, "These bandits raiders, godless heathens think they can stand up to us the one true faith, and the men of GOD?!? Oh this is the funniest thing I've ever seen ever." He remarks, then composing himself he returns to work.

"Clearly he is out of touch, my letter was misinformed and retracted when it was made clear to me by the Auditor. Though I am glad to finally know who it was who tried to murder me inside the Basilica yesterday. Qahir, this mans son, after previously breaking into the Basilica windows and snooping around, tried to murder me after I told him to leave. Naturally he fled when his sword had missed and people began to notice." Replied Basil.

[adamc2000 1385]

Ansar would read the missive "Inshallah peace will prevail, the church seems to keep breaking the treaty between the mumineen and the cannonist. Its good that al-Hamad decided to protect themselves but i fear the church will just keep going until the pontiff can clear the church of those who are corrupt. But then again its not like the pontiffs knows of his followers greed and warmongering..." Ansar would say before going back to work on his carpenter shop "Perhaps the pontiff will seek out those who broke the treaty and help us bring peace back between us..." 

[RhythmrhymE 156]

[!] Suleiman Ibn Ibrahim Al-Hattan would look at his blade, warm as the desert "I already killed two of the Assassins', I wished to finish off the other for daring to even try anything against us... And now to find it was the Church who sent them! They are indeed Heathens if not anything else" he'd say putting away his sword, staring into the sands of Kharsi.

[!] Abdullah Ibn Osman Kharadeen would look at the post, having looked at the ones before taking note "As always, those of the church try to start a war... They sent Assassians this time, and last time they defiled our Religion..." before letting out a sigh, and looking around "Though my Forefather Auda Kharadeen who tried to make the best relations with them would not wish for them... If they are to Defile our Religion, Im sure he would have been fine with it"

"Completed it mate," says one Canonist, sending two Epistles to ibn Mustafa.
