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.

So not only did you weep when you read the bible, but you also promptly forgot everything it said and proceeded to judge others despite Jesus' words. What a good christian. Please go away.
Huh? When did I judge others?
"that's Islam" isn't judgy to you? As if beheading someone is the average answer to stuff in the quran. Also, remember that the bible and the quran are both based on the same stuff. They're not as different as you'd like to believe. It's literally just a bible with some added texts which. Both of which are barbaric due to them being outdated.
Also, I suggest you reread Ecclesiastes 5:2 for another example of how you're sinning in this thread.
The Qur'an is absolutely not based on the "same stuff". Such a claim is just flat out false. It is in no way the Bible with added texts- that's just flat out incorrect. And your Bible verse about approaching the temple out of context isn't relevant either.
They've all taken the Torah that Moses dreamt up and made their own version with hookers and blackjack. You can spin it however you want, but it's true. The fact that it's not copied word for word doesn't change the fact that it's the same foundation.
The Egyptians and the Mesopotamians/Babylonians influenced the Canaanite religion, then that evolved into Judaism, then that splintered into Judaism and Christianity and then came Mohammed who was like "yep, those guys and those books came from God! And I am the last prophet of God!"
Then we got a bunch of other prophets like Joseph Smith, Nostradamus, David Koresh, Jim Jones, Ellen White, etc. So... Yeah.
Also, I guess this is an example of how different people interpret these books. To me, 5:2 seems to speak against word vomit, which is what I was implying you're doing in this thread and others.
Literally sharing the gospel here
The existence of those lunatics doesn't discredit Jesus Christ. Jesus didn't claim to be a prophet- He claimed to be God Himself. Something Mohammed conveniently retconned. Mohammed and Joseph Smith seeked power and extra wives. Ellen seeks money. Jesus was crucified.
Jesus was crucified, David koresh was shot, Joan of arc was burned at the stake, etc. Yeah, they all had different messages and interpretations. Some were martyrs, others weren't. Some were actually sainted, others weren't.
But at least you're not debating my previous point anymore, means we agree on something finally. Let's leave it at that, shall we?
