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

Quite a lose-lose situation indeed. People who hate each others guts. I hope they can find the perpetrators soon.

Arabia went from being under Ottoman rule to being under the house of Al Saud, it's never been colonized by a western "liberal" country.

Their rules are still insane.

You knew what you were saying and how you were saying it.

We're past the point where the avg person is ignorant to dog whistles.

Nazis also drank water and breathed air

Guess you're a Nazi if you do those things

The reason something is done is important

[geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml]

Where do they get all those weapons from to surpress their population?

[industrystandard@lemmy.world]

Indeed. This person burned books to incite hate. Like the Nazis.

Can a person also commit Elon salutes in public because "they do not hurt anyone"?

[industrystandard@lemmy.world]

He was inciting hate against a population and advocating for their persecution. How severely disconnected and racist are people to not even see this obvious link?

[teslasaur@lemmy.world]

First. Not a question unless you use a questionmark.

Second. The countries have been sovereign states for long enough to know what is morally wrong or not. And you make it sounds like I would have been complicit in some historical injustices. I think you know that this is wrong.

Third. This has nothing to do with skin color, but only the legislation to harm dissidents. Other religions have similar problems, Christianity is no different, just look at some of the other countries that have this legislation.

[theacharnian@lemmy.ca]

Is that what he was doing? Or was he protesting what in his own lived experience as a veteran of the war against ISIS was a religion that led to the persecution of his own people (Iraqi Christians)?

This is not an easy case, there are many intersecting threads and it defies easy hot takes.

To find out whether it is a difficult topic, change out the ethnic group being discriminated against.

Lets say a Palestinian flees to Sweden, starts waving around Swastikas and burning Torahs. How do we feel now?

Just because this person was persecuted by a fringe extremist group which the overwhelming majority of Muslims denounce, does not give him the right to start misrepresenting and discriminating an entire group.

[theacharnian@lemmy.ca]

"Get to"? "The right to"? What do you think I'm talking about? Oppression credits that can be used to buy a pass for shitty behaviour?

I'm asking for humanity and empathy, in the case of a guy who got fucking shot, by trying to make the case that this isn't some cut and dry of some fascist getting their due, but a complicated and sad story.

[ilikeboobies@lemmy.ca]

Indeed. This person burned books to incite hate.

We can’t say that because we didn’t get the verdict

[electric_nan@lemmy.ml]

Lol. Are you unfree just because there's no limit to the offense you can cause before someone hurts you for it? Have you never agreed with the phrase "FAFO" or "talk shit get hit"?

[electric_nan@lemmy.ml]

Read it again, dopey.

[ataridump@lemmy.world]

On social media? Yes.

Replace “religious” with “police” as an example.
