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.

have you read their "holy" books ?
It's more like sad, just like onlyfans.. It's wild what people have to do for recognition and fame.. O well..
I don’t know why you put holy in quotation marks, it is absolutely holy for Muslims so that’s just a fact.
And yes I have read a decent bit of the Quran. Unlike you I understand that there’s a level of complexity in such texts that only scholars can grasp who have both deep knowledge of the Arabic language and knowledge about the historic context of different passages.
I’m 100% sure that neither you nor me are capable of truly understanding the Quran so I don’t know what exactly you’re trying to tell us.
It is a fact... but you know what's also a fact ? It's not holy for the other 4199 religions, and athiests as well
I speak Arabic fluently my guy, It's not enough to read, all muslims read the Quran, yet they don't understand it, they even struggle to stay awake while they do.. might I add.. I feel like you have fallen for the spell of these scholars which states that only someone who studied Islam can critize Islam and correct it.. that's completely nonsense
That's a bug not a feature, Quran prides itself by saying it's easy to digest, the fact that you're saying it's complexe shows your lack of research
Nor do those scholars that you speak of, I have read their books too :) , why do you think there's so many sects and subsects in Islam, and why do you think they kill eachother ? Why do you think the companions of Mohammed killed each other ? And why do you think the Quran is so confusing in the first place ? Heck... Even those "scholars" fight amongst each other.. till this day
Ok I'll be blunt ... It's violent, it orders muslims to kill non muslims ( non believers ), it's full of scientific ethical, logical errors and fallacies.. And when you cross refence it with the hadith ( the word of Mohammed ) it's gets 100x times worse..
It's full of homophobia, pedophilia, sexism, racism..etc .. Flat earth ? Yes
I think you're either a muslim, who's playing around, or you live in the west and see a particular image of that religion, I'm sure you're seeing the friendly image..
My point is, don't say fascism and point the finger at the right suspect
Instead of wondering who or what I am you should ask yourself why you’re so obsessed with one particular religion to a point that you’re doing all sorts of mental gymnastics and spreading misinformation in order to justify your bigoted world view.
Islam is an ideology, just like christianity, just like jewism.. you can critize it, sure it will hurt feelings.. but it's better than keeping people living in delusions, it affects us all
most people if not all who jump to these conclusions about someone they just met online confuse criticizing an ideology with race and culture, to them anyone who says something critical about Eastern cultures is bigoted ( but not about christianity, the hypocrisy ... but it's not like i care ), someone can be an Arab + muslim, they can also be Athiest + Arab, you need to separate the idea from the person..
to correct misinformed people like you.. for the most part
It's not enough to say misinformation and just be silent, go on... show us where ?
I'm treating you with the respect that you might not deserve by giving u something called "human connection", when you talk to someone about ideologies it helps to know where they're coming from, to not be too harsh.. for example if you're a muslim living in the west, I won't be too direct like this, because I know how much it means to you... by default I don't have to do that, because I know what I'm talking about
