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.

Islamic law allowed the distribution of female captives as spoils of war and for them to be bought and sold, becoming sexually lawful after a short waiting period to confirm they were not pregnant.
You are also allowed to rape your wives and slaves.
The old testament says a lot of the same shit. Acting like this shit is exclusively Islam's domain is big bigot energy.
The whole situation is unbelievably fucked up. Fundamentalist Islam is in the mix but Islam in and of itself is not the cause.
When did I say this shit is exclusively Islam?
It’s not being bigoted to point out the dangers of the current form of Islam. You only have to have eyes to see the extent of jihad, mercy killings, beheadings for drawing Mohamed, etc. or to see the stats from polls where large numbers say it is justified, or sometimes justified.
It absolutely doesn’t apply to all Muslims but it’s not a tiny minority, and other religions do not have anywhere near the same violence today. Burying your head in the sand and calling people bigots and racists is pathetic and doesn’t help.
The right wing hears: Damn it! They've got it better than us... shit's unacceptabro
source: my ass 😁
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoners_of_war_in_Islam Depends on who you are talking from.
did you even read the article you posted? It says that the women who are taken as prisoners of war and not freed or ransomed are to be protected under the same protections as slaves, which includes not getting raped.
You really think quoting what ISIS(the most hated group in the world even by muslims and islamic scholars) did proves the point? You’re either mentally challenged or trolling. Either way go back to reddit.
Seriously. Some people seem to be incapable of understanding nuance. Literally billions of people follow various religions that at some point have condoned some pretty fucked up behavior. These religions have contemporary offshoots that still believe this fucked up behavior is acceptable, typically because it directly benefits them, but the vast majority do not. Then you get some yahoos who see the worst of the worst and paint entire religions with a broad brush based on them.
People aren't shitty because of religion. Shitty people use religion as an excuse to be shitty and would fabricate something else if religion and other forms of magical thinking were quashed.
Blowback is a bitch ain't it? It was the US led invasion of Iraq that birthed ISIS. An invasion based on lies about terrorists being in Iraq drummed up by neocons and neolibs, and that would actually help to create a more virulent terrorist plague in the end. And it was the US that armed and trained Bin Laden for its proxy war with Russia in Afghanistan.
When you say "true story", how much history and context do you really know? Try not getting your news and 'facts' watching fox and oan news and alex jones types.
I don't watch any TV news. I'm a left wing Bernie supporter. You can look it up yourself and verify what I've said.
I looked it up and can't find anything. Can you link sources? Or are you parrotting IDF propaganda as usual? I can't even find anything about Hamas being at war with ISIS.
wrong website man! if youre gonna say shit and not prove it go to reddit 😁
I don't have to prove what is true. You can learn it for yourself. I'm not your dad or your teacher. I post, you can take my notes.
But not molest randoms.
Sure, religion bad, but that's not the point I was making.
I thought the point you were making was they were behaving exactly like islamists?
The point I was making is that they aren't behaving in accordance with their own stated ideology.
anon987, this is a troll. Someone who makes excuses for and supports the genocide against Palestinians by Israel. Basically using this tragedy to dehumanize people.
It allows women (and men) which actively fight in wars and are captured to be sold as slaves. Not random civilians.
Oh well that's reasonable then /s
Capturing people that try to kill you is a lot different than randomly kidnapping people from the street.
And the entire sex slave rape fantasy people are writing about doesn't check out either. But I would not expect any less from people that verbatim repeat any Islamophobic propaganda they have read and never fact check it.
Some Islamic fun for ya, straight from the scripture.

You just pastebinned a generic unresearched islamophobia comment and did not manage to quote the scripture for any of your claim. Good job proving my point.
Everything I posted is quite literally either part of the Quran or Hadiths. They all are cited too so yeah, I did quote the scripture and you're free to flick through scripture yourself to find them.
The first citations are ones I researched myself to refute your comment, and the others are from a list I saved a while back of the lovely... poetry of the Quran.
I'm very sorry they make Islam look bad. Take it up with the authors.
.. Oh wait
Weird the Hadith is the scripture? You must be an expert.
Uhh, yes? The hadiths are in fact part of Islamic scripture. Some considered more trustworthy than others, but they are all Islamic scripture in some form. I believe this specific Hadith I quoted for the initial point is considered "Sahih" (essentially, trustworthy).
And wow. The only response you have to me is to argue the semantics of "scripture"? What's next? Certain parts of the Quran don't count either? Because I posted a lot of Quran verses.
I can see you lack basic reading comprehension because none if the verses you quoted support what you are saying.
Did you even read what you posted by the way? I hope you did not write it yourself because else your interpretations are very... Special.
Lmao the mental gymnastics coming from you are absolutely ridiculous.
I'm sorry, what do you consider "casting people into the fire" because they "reject our signs"? If not an endorsement of murder of disbelievers!?
Has anyone told you about the concept of hell yet?
You better tell them then cuz they be doing it.
If they were following Islamic law and this actually happened these three men would now have to be stoned to death.
