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.

You are either spectacularly naive, or just plain lying your ass off, or you're just trolling and honestly I'm not sure which it is.
He burned those Korans because one must be able to do that without being murdered. I am all against book burning but when a single book is burned to prove a point, I'm all for it.
In this case, the point was made by Muslims that they're insane terrorist skydaddy believers who will murder anyone they disagree with. Fuck. That. Shit.
You will never live in a world where there are not consequences for your actions, whether those consequences are right or wrong. People get offended, sometimes violently so, over all kinds of things. What point did this guy prove? "Muslims" didn't kill him, one Muslim did.
So you are okay with these consequences?
Because id you're not, why do you keep defending murder "because he had it coming"?
The guy proved the point that Muslims, as a group, are violent whenever you touch their religion. If you say this isn't true then by all means, go to Afghanistan and shout "fuck Allah!"
All religions are backwards, but at the very least Christianity mostly has grown up, be it by force as we no longer tolerate it's once violent behavior. At least today I CAN say "fuck jesus". I won't, and basically nobody does, because there is no need. This guy burned the Koran BECAUSE of how violent Muslims are. It's to make a point and if you don't see that point you're blind. Maybe you should read up on Salman Rushdie? Maybe Theo van Gogh?
Why do you tolerate and defend violence form Muslims? I take it you are Muslim?
And if you start with "you're generalizing, you're discriminating" then please, read up about their behaviour over the past 5 decades. Muslims as a group are know to currently be the most violent of all religions. All religions have weird wardrobe requirements but leave it up to the Muslims to require women to completely hide themselves from the world because they only exist to lead you to sin! And then they compare it to candy in a wrapper or some shit. Fuck. That. Shit.
The world would be off a LOT better without religions, but of all religions, Islam is the worst.
