I've never actually heard anyone use that line except people in alt-right circles, and I am around a lot of Muslims. It is not a term Muslims use to describe their religion, not that they would describe it differently, just that it is a strange description. It would be like calling Canada "the country of peace", which I guess is technically true because most countries want to avoid war and promote peace? But does not mean their military is non-violent.

The line is clearly used for the intent of creating a false contrast to make some made up point about hypocrisy.

Also as the other commenter pointed out, you are making a critique about the middle East, everyone agrees the middle East is dysfunctional.

The main post would be shared but then in the comment section you can swipe left or right to scroll through the different instances (comment section). Most comment sections don't have such unique requirements anyways, usually on Reddit I just assume "don't be an asshole" and on the few occasions where that is not sufficient, I get deleted and the mod notifies me of the error, then I learn. Generally people won't familiarize themselves with the community rules before posting.

It was the Bush administration that used their cultural differences as a justification for their hatred of the west. Of course, Bush could have just mentioned what Al Qaeda actually said, which was that they were a reaction to the US military, money, and support meddling in the Middle East. But then that might draw negative attention from legitimate concerns the Middle East has, which means the terrorists win according to their tortured logic, so instead "they hate us for our freedom".

I think the main thing is that you can get a more intense nicotine hit, probably because it is easier to smoke higher concentrations, so I assume it is more addictive in that regard. It's a smoother smoke and you don't get that residual nicotine in the mouth that you would at high concentrations of the freebase. You can always just try it out, most vapes are compatible with both juices, although they might be optimized for one over the other.

It's more of a cliche, I don't think anyone actually does it, but it shows up in those cropped images of tweets people post on reddit. Downvotes should show right next to the upvotes (at least, on desktop). Is a nice feature to show both, so if it's like, negative 1, you can see, Oh it's actually negative 10 and positive 9, that is like 50% dislike ratio. Feels a lot better knowing its a split crowd.

edit: A word

I just saw your response to my comment, didn't load earlier. Yes is fundamentally the same chemical reaction. Acid/base reaction that results in a salt. Makes a huge difference in the experience in my opinion, I find the salt form to be much closer to real cigs. But as you can see from the other commenter, people have different preferences.

DELETE THIS POST 😂 Hey this isn't twitter, but you can try 👏 adding 👏 claps 👏 between 👏 words 👏 if you think it will help.

Is a valid point to say they haven't done anything honorable. Maybe my post is the equivalent of saying a murderer is honorable for telling the cops where he put the bodies? I like to give credit where credit is due, but I can see your point. Anyways, I feel bad that you have been downvoted to zero, I'll give you an upvote.

Interesting point, that they are actually censoring dissent, it's just that they are focusing on what can actually harm them and they have deemed fuck spez to be a good vent. So in effect it looks like they are giving free range to words/text protests, but really that is the only they leave up.

They are just making a point. No such thing, just pointing out that criminal courts don't prove innocence.

No, ex as in former sexual partners, because you aren't doing them any more.
