An Iraqi man who carried out several Quran burnings in Sweden has been killed

Seems like he got what he wanted.

I rest my case.

[theacharnian@lemmy.ca]

Well said. ️

The US' attempt at a color revolution by stealing military weapons and using them to massacre civilians is taught in school, and the many problems that caused some members of the uighur people to visit Afghanistan and come back attempting terrorist actions, as well as the subsequent investment in Xinjiang that has since eliminated the crushing poverty that caused those desperate people to turn to fundamentalist terrorism is also widely and publicly known.

When the US stops thinking their version of reality is correct when they famously run the world's largest and most prolific ministry of truth, then we can talk about censorship. Until then you people are too brainwashed to interact with the majority of the world.

I hope you guys get democracy soon.

Lol. Out of curiousity, do wumao get paid like weekly or is it per comment?

[geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml]

Did your "reliable mainstream newspapers" leave out crucial background details about an Islamophobe?

If you legitimately think everyone that disagrees with you, over half the planets population, are all paid trolls or bots... Well it's just terrible your country has no mental healthcare you can access without going broke and losing your job.

I sincerely hope you join the world in the 21st century soon. It has to be awful living in the 1950s.

The fundamentals of Islam have caused the world a tremendous amount of pain and blood just like the fundamentals of Christianity.

I'm sure you are unfamiliar wIth the ALCU but I will defend the right of nazis to March. I will not defend them when they enact policies like prison camps. That's my position.

Your position is that you are super sensitive and do not respect freedom of speech. Different opinions make countries stronger. And if you are going to be hyper sensitive, you better be able to fight. That said, Islamic countries haven't won a war since the middle ages.

Maybe by allowing diversity of opinions and not being so sensitive, you might win a war eventually.

[teslasaur@lemmy.world]

The worlds largest religion can take some justified critique without hiding behind the excuse of being a "minority".

They flee their countries because of islamic theocracy and bring that religious sensitivity to us. Hilariously enough they burn pride flags and the origin of species in some weird attempt to offend the free countries. It would be laughable, if not for the fact that they kill dissidents.

[malek061@lemmy.world]

I gave my opinion. You discarded it without evidence or educated opinion. Name calling shows defeat.

[shaserlark@sh.itjust.works]

Talks about freedom of speech and then wants to defend the rights of Nazis to march, yeah right. Free speech is a funny thing these days.

[teslasaur@lemmy.world]

Oh look! More religious violence!

It's almost like you make my point for me. And look who the opposition is that you want me to sympathize with. FUCKING ISIS.

[threshold_dweller@lemmy.today]

You're not "everyone who disagrees with me", you're one of a few on Lemmywho are consistently CCP apologists. In this case, your being so open about it is kind of refreshing.

So I will keep pointing out your agenda when you comment on fraught geopolitical issues, such as this.

[valmond@lemmy.world]

Arguing with a fool proves there are two.

So no thank you.

[geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml]

I don't think burning people alive is a great look no matter what side you are on.

Wasn't there another person in Iraq before around 2003 before ISIS came? What happened to that guy? ISIS sudenly took over Iraq nothing happened in between. Love the free west!

[liyunxiao@sh.itjust.works]

No, but you have a long history of claiming people on a website with a peak 40k user base are all bots and paid shills.

So I'm not every account you've ever talked to. There's not a global conspiracy targeting you. It's good you can still admit that in your paranoia.

Christianity is the world‘s largest religion. Not that it makes any difference how big or small any religion is for inciting hatred against it to be wrong or hatred against anyone for that matter. Furthermore, this happened in Sweden and in Sweden Muslims are definitely a minority.

Who is ”they“ in that context? You talk a lot about “them“ doing these things as if that would mean everyone. OTOH I’m Muslim too and I have a large mostly Muslim family and a large friend circle and I mostly consume Arabic media. I can tell you that I’m mostly busy working, doing laundry, thinking about what to cook, wondering which show to watch next, trying to have a social life and being angry about the Gaza genocide and the rise of Nazism in the west. That’s the reality for pretty much everyone I know, except for those lucky bastards who are retired or still in school. But they have their own shit to worry about.

We don’t care about pride flags and crazy people, we have enough of crazy to deal with at home. This guy in particular pissed me off because he was just trying to spread hatred, how does that make the world a better place? Even the Swedish government wanted to get rid of him but couldn’t, because he would be facing torture in Iraq, which btw is the same Iraq that received democracy from our friends in the US and their illegal invasion. Not that Saddam was any better.

Anyway. I hope you get my point, we have other things to worry about than this, the guy was a giant asshole and he should have been tried as was intended instead of being assassinated, but don’t involve me or Muslims in general in that. I’m against capital punishment and I couldn’t think of anyone I know who would be in favor of that, no matter why.

I also don’t start political discussions with my Hindu Indian friends when I see that there’s some lynch mob attacking Muslims somewhere in India and I leave my White American friends alone when there’s the next shooting conducted by a far right guy. So please just give me a break from your generalizations.

Burning a religious book in protest =/= Nazi behaviour

[supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz]

I am an atheist/agnostic, I won't be caught dead saying these books aren't deeply problematic, that wasn't my point, my point is that despite all that there is also some good to these books and exploration however fraught of morals and philosophy.

Mein Kampf is just pathetic, lame trash and as I said before it is an insult to those religious works to compare them with a document solely designed to rationalize genocide and hate.

[gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

incitement to kill people, which is the ultimate goal of the book burning

Yeah, no, you can't just go claiming that's what burning a book is about, especially a religious text

I've burned multiple religious texts in protest, it's never been about incitement to kill
