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.

How old was the virgin mary?
Yes, many of us agree that Christianity is also not a model religion (if there even is such a thing). Not sure what the point is in bringing that up in a discussion about an Iranian teen being murdered for not wearing a hijab.
The point is whataboutism.
Im just saying this is not unique to Islam. There is incest in the Bible among other things. To paint Islam as the worst of the religions does not feel productive to me. They all can eat shit
There's only one religion where a rapists, pedophile, warlord is held up as a role model.
The Catholic Church has left the chat room.
P.S. Not religious, fuck em' all
I don't know of anyone glorifying what priests did to children or how the church covered it up. None of the priests that committed those acts were were held up as models of the church.
Bullshit. That things ever happened was denied, systematically, and priests were held up as models as that's just doctrine.
The fact that the pedophile acts were concealed shows that the church didn't condone them. They certainly didn't make any of those priests the pillar of their religion.
Catholicism?
I must have missed the part in the bible where Jesus raped and murdered.
Jesus was a Jew, not a Catholic. I assumed you meant one pope or the other, certainly a lot of warring sex pests among those.
And antipopes!
Bunch of Islamaphobes on Lemmy I guess. I mean, I think it's repressive generally (as most religions) and overall bad, but there are such a wide range of muslims and the fact that Muhammad was a twat has very little bearing on whether they deserve to be reviled or distrusted as humans. Just another fucked up Abrahamic religion. Nothing to see here except FUD, islamaphobia and other -isms and -phobias I'm sure.
We can criticize the religion, what some adherents do & believe, but when we paint billions with the same stroke I think we have lost our way.
Jesus is who Catholics hold up as a role model.
Pedophile priests were not celebrated in the church their acts were hidden.
