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.

Knives aren't the problem. Islam is.
Mental illness is the problem, of which all religions are at the top of the list.
Currently one religion creates a lot more random acts of violence than the rest unfortunately. The current islamic religion seems to be incompatible with western society and a civilized society as a whole.
All of Islams problems can be explained entirely by demographics, modern history, and wealth distribution — which directly impacts quality of education.
Iran was a relatively liberal democracy before western plutocracies chose to arm radicals and overthrow the government.
Afghanistan was relatively stable until the soviets invaded and overthrew the government, and the west taught them how to do terrorism/insurgency.
But sure, let's just ignore history and act like Christianity wasn't a radical terrorist org prior to science and universal education.
Are you suggesting that other parts of the world which lack serious educational support for the poor are somehow also inclined to the level of radicalized violence that is part of the current Islamic religion?
And why are we bringing up history of Christianity? That's not in the current world view, it's doing some atrocious shit right now, but let's not pretend it's being used in the way that islam currently is. No religion is clean, but in the present islam is the cause of a huge majority of the violence we see.
What happened to being intolerant of the intolerant? Or does that only apply to nazis and fascist?
They don't want to hear it because they're brainwashed to pretend all religions are equal or that Islam in particular isn't the cause of more violence than any other belief system on earth. Looks like CAIR's propaganda campaigns are paying off.
It's a whole PC crap, they don't want to be seen as politically incorrect. Which just allows this crap to breed.
Fuck off racist
Lol I love how I'm called a racist because I'm pointing out how damaging a religion is.... you're being tolerant of the intolerant. Way to bend your shit world views to fit a narrative.
Islam isn't a race. It's a religion and following it is a choice which can be changed at any time unlike race.
My life has been directly, negatively impacted by Christian extremism far more than Islamic extremism.
So far I have yet to enter a clinic that has been damaged by a Muslim's molotov because someone is doing a thing that they think their special book says not to do.
All religion is incompatible with civilized society as long as there are those who would twist it into a cudgel to beat down the nonbelievers.
If you think that Islam is somehow worse than others, not only are you misinformed of current issues the world over, you are also misinformed about history in general.
You have a seriously small world view if you truly believe this.
Way to be tolerant of the intolerant.
Lol if you lived in an Islamic country you'd be getting raped on the regular by a 'husband' you were forcibly married to and be forced to carry his children whether you wanted to or not. Abortion wouldn't even be a choice unless your husband was the one who wanted you to get one and if you were raped by someone else you would be the one getting honor killed not the rapist.
If you think Christianity is anywhere near as bad as Islam you're absolutely delusional.
I guarantee you that any woman currently living under a Muslim theocracy who isnt completely brainwashed would absolutely prefer to live under Christian rule instead.
