World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

momika did it specifically to spark outrage among immigrants. don't do that.
Nah fuck that, If muslims cant handle it they should look the other way like they do when women are stoned to death for showing their hair.
Good one. Throw in another joke in about Jews owning all the banks, newspapers and an elite pedo sex ring cabal. Haha. Aren't these racist jokes funny?
One of them is true and one is racist. Guess which is which
There are at least 8 countries that apply sharia as their modus in criminal and family law.
Yemen, Saudi arabia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, mauretania and Ethiopia.
You think that's funny?
And thats not even mentioning the backwards ass Christian countries that also apply the Bible to criminal law.
Great list of countries colonized by the West. America implement that Sharia law for them? That freedom and liberalism really inspired them.
Oh, right. I forgot that everything is Americas fault. Especially the islamic theocracy. Has nothing to do with the fact that every sovereign power in the middle east funds fundamentalist insurgents in each others countries to destabalize them.
Pakistan, i'm looking at you.

More than 30 years ago. The talibans get their support from Pakistan now.
Wonder if anything happened during those 30 years. Did the US happen to support a bunch of pedo child rapists?
https://youtu.be/Ja5Q75hf6QI?t=3071
Haha. So you mean that the locally elected are so ass-backwards corrupt that the Taliban seem better.
Yeah that seems about right. No wonder Afghanistan is a shit hole.
So you admit the Taliban is better than the pedos "locally elected" by the US.
Never said that. I said that the afghans chose poorly, why would they choose a pedo? And now they're stuck living under muslim theocracy. Mainly fuled by Pakistan.
If that is what they want, fine. But then they objectively live in an unfree, cruel and dysfunctional society. They can keep it.
Because they did not. The local war lords were funded, armed and chosen by the US. The US chose and armed the child raping pedos.
You keep going in circles to deny this fact. Because admitting this fact to be true destroys everything you believe in.
Oh shit, so the warlords WERE local. Thank you, thats all i needed to know.
From watching that doc, it looks as the Americans are trying to help and none was received. Like the first shot, they try to explain how hygiene works, likely cause the afghans dont know, and they just say "idiot, show how mines work". Animals. But i guess they were the only ones that wanted to fight for "freedom"
Thanks for generalizing 1.5bn people, Ben Affleck
Idk man, you'd have a point if Iran didn't systematically execute teenage girls for not wearing a headdress...
Oh, so not a small minority. Good to have that cleared up. Show me a liberal, free muslim country, then i can show you all of them that are not.
Iran... Oh wait destroyed and overthrown by Liberals in 1953
Show me a Muslim country which has not been invaded, colonized and destroyed by Liberals first.
Arabia went from being under Ottoman rule to being under the house of Al Saud, it's never been colonized by a western "liberal" country.
Their rules are still insane.
Where do they get all those weapons from to surpress their population?
Let me pull up the map of American military bases in the middle ea... Wow that is a lot of American military bases in Saudi. Must be a coincidence.
Let me help you with that.

Below is the working list of nations that still criminalize consensual same-sex sexual acts between adults
And on and on we go.
The only countries that comes close to being reasonably secular are Malaysia and Turkey.
The question was
And literally the first two countries already have been invaded, colonized and destroyed by liberals. And let’s move on, Bangladesh, Egypt, Eritrea, Marocco, Libya, Libanon, Palestine, Iraq, Tunisia, Pakistan, Mauretania, Mali, all former colonies, brutally ransacked, exploited, people enslaved, the very core of each of their societies absolutely destroyed. Make the list longer and the list of ex-colonies gets longer. Ah and then except of course the already mentioned Palestine, which is still an apartheid colony where the liberal west is committing genocide.
You talk about queer rights but you don’t give a single fuck about the fates of the hundreds of millions, if not billions that have been brutalized in the most horrifying ways by the “civilized west“.
Please do us a favor and GTFO with your phony concern for human rights. You just want to shit on brown people. I honestly feel sorry for you, you must be really unhappy carrying around so much hatred with you.
First. Not a question unless you use a questionmark.
Second. The countries have been sovereign states for long enough to know what is morally wrong or not. And you make it sounds like I would have been complicit in some historical injustices. I think you know that this is wrong.
Third. This has nothing to do with skin color, but only the legislation to harm dissidents. Other religions have similar problems, Christianity is no different, just look at some of the other countries that have this legislation.
Cool list. That is a lot of countries colonized and destroyed by liberals indeed.
Below is a list of countries currently committing or complicit in genocide:
America
Germany
UK
Israel
Netherlands
France
Canada
The entire rest of the liberal world
I don’t understand the point of your comment.
No, i guess that would be too much to ask.
Care to elaborate? You’re just kind of asking a loaded question, but you don’t make any actual argument.
The worlds largest religion can take some justified critique without hiding behind the excuse of being a "minority".
They flee their countries because of islamic theocracy and bring that religious sensitivity to us. Hilariously enough they burn pride flags and the origin of species in some weird attempt to offend the free countries. It would be laughable, if not for the fact that they kill dissidents.
Christianity is the world‘s largest religion. Not that it makes any difference how big or small any religion is for inciting hatred against it to be wrong or hatred against anyone for that matter. Furthermore, this happened in Sweden and in Sweden Muslims are definitely a minority.
Who is ”they“ in that context? You talk a lot about “them“ doing these things as if that would mean everyone. OTOH I’m Muslim too and I have a large mostly Muslim family and a large friend circle and I mostly consume Arabic media. I can tell you that I’m mostly busy working, doing laundry, thinking about what to cook, wondering which show to watch next, trying to have a social life and being angry about the Gaza genocide and the rise of Nazism in the west. That’s the reality for pretty much everyone I know, except for those lucky bastards who are retired or still in school. But they have their own shit to worry about.
We don’t care about pride flags and crazy people, we have enough of crazy to deal with at home. This guy in particular pissed me off because he was just trying to spread hatred, how does that make the world a better place? Even the Swedish government wanted to get rid of him but couldn’t, because he would be facing torture in Iraq, which btw is the same Iraq that received democracy from our friends in the US and their illegal invasion. Not that Saddam was any better.
Anyway. I hope you get my point, we have other things to worry about than this, the guy was a giant asshole and he should have been tried as was intended instead of being assassinated, but don’t involve me or Muslims in general in that. I’m against capital punishment and I couldn’t think of anyone I know who would be in favor of that, no matter why.
I also don’t start political discussions with my Hindu Indian friends when I see that there’s some lynch mob attacking Muslims somewhere in India and I leave my White American friends alone when there’s the next shooting conducted by a far right guy. So please just give me a break from your generalizations.
Doesn't mean that much in a globalized world anymore. The fact is that close to all muslim countries (almost all of which are larger than sweden in population btw) turned this completely legal and frankly, innocent act, into the shitshow that it is. I think he should have torched a Bible too just to prove a point, together with any other book that he can buy for his own money, and do with what he wants. Not defending him, just the principle.
Did you know that Swedish people got killed by muslims in the Netherlands just for wearing swedish football jerseys? For having exactly nothing to do with Salwan.
You care enough about it for it to be illegal to be homosexual, that is cruel and unusual in most peoples eyes. And yes you do have plenty of crazy, and due to it being fuled by a proselytic religion, it spreads by design and those who do not follow it are "lesser". Compare that to jewish people, who traditionally doesn't even allow converts to call themselves jewish. They keep to themselves in Sweden and live completely peacefully. Until recently when synagogs in Sweden are ruined by muslims that take up the fight for Gaza by attacking those that have NOTHING to do with the conflict.
That's the whole point. Why even care? He is nothing, just another loudmouth that affect nothing from his small echo chamber. It's the reactions from muslims that most people take offense of. When they destroy other civilians property cause "me angry!"
I do get your point, but as long as there are theocracies that push to kill others, then the followers are gonna be blamed. Death to infidels and all that.
Now you’re just moving goalposts after making a false claim and you don’t even bother to correct it. Of course what I said matters.
Personally, I haven’t made anything illegal, nor have I attacked anyone. There are 46 countries in the world with majority Muslim populations, 23 declare Islam to be the state religion in their constitutions. The rest either proclaim the state to be secular or make no pronouncement concerning an official religion. I did not make the laws of any of these countries, nor did the majority of the people living in these countries.
Feel free to criticize the dictatorships that use these rules to control and terrify people, we don’t have much love for them, but don’t make this about Muslims in general. Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Do I now assume that all Jewish people are genocidal maniacs? No, because that would rightfully be called antisemitic and it’s equally Islamophobic to hold all Muslim people accountable for the nut jobs who probably did this.
Oh. So it being illegal is ok, as long as you didn't do it.
Except it's your religion and your book. Do you want me to find the verses that say it's ok to kill other people?
I'm curious what you think is the false claim? I looked through the post and can't find anything that is false.
That's because you don't want to understand it.
Willful ignorance is a powerful force.
Care to elaborate? They’re just kind of asking a loaded question, but don’t make any actual argument.
Sure! If someone doesn't want to understand something, then no matter what, they will not understand it.
Got it you’re just trolling
🤦
I rest my case.
Wasn’t that Sam Harris who was being islamophobic and Affleck was defending them?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zsecVLjabzY
Just a stupid joke and I mixed up Ben Affleck with Ethan Hawke
Congrats, you just let the terrorists win.
Now people aren't allowed to do things that upset them 🤷
he wasn't allowed to before either. we have laws against that.
