If you label "when people from the middle east kill family members for disobeying the family" as honor killings, then yes it's going to be a list of primarily Muslim people.

If you replace "from the middle east" with "from Italian-American culture" you get a list of mafioso.

If you replace it with "from the Italian peninsula c.0 AD" then you get a list of Roman patriarchs who had the literal power of life or death legally over their offspring and numbered rather than named their useless daughters.

Islam did not make these people kill their families. It did however make an American decide to call it an "honor killing".

You assumed the switch needs to happen on the JDK. It's actually that we bought this software that depends on the old version with a perpetual license 18 years ago before every decided SaaS was god so we've got another 3 years left before ROI breaks even

Well one happened in living memory and people are still living in the houses of displaced people in Palestine.

This isn't just about land. This about homes, farms, legacies, birthright, inheritances that have been stolen by living people from living people. Not a vague concept of belonging.

I'm so sorry that they called you that

The Dalai Lama(s) are worshipped as reincarnations Avalokiteśvara, the Buddha of Compassion.

If "god" means "something you can pray to, to directly make changes to reality", then they are definitely a god. The issue here is the conceptual trappings of Christianity's deity as a creator and omnipotent being.

The section on Tibetan Buddhism in the Wikipedia Avalokiteśvara article leads quite happily with calling them a deity and follows by noting the link to the Dalai Lama(s)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalokite%C5%9Bvara?wprov=sfla1

Tibetan Buddhist beliefs Avalokiteśvara is an important deity in Tibetan Buddhism. He is regarded in the Vajrayana teachings as a Buddha.[56]

...(Paragraph on Tara)...

Certain living tulku lineages, including the Dalai Lamas and the Karmapas, are considered by many Tibetan Buddhists to also be manifestations of Avalokiteśvara.[60][61][62]

What has this got to do with immigration beyond the location it happened? A Syrian killed a Syrian for breaching the cultural norms of Syria. Is it better that millions of other Syrians stay to be slaughtered, than this crime that impacts no Dutch people takes place in Netherlands?

No, I talked about putting this energy into convincing others to vote with their wallets, not just "doing nothing". A boycott is an active campaign. It doesnt just mean not buying a product. It means not buying any associated product. Not even tolerating them in conversation.

I'm basing my opinion on how the commission has responded to similar successfully raised initiatives: "that's already covered by legislation and up to EU states to manage", "no that's something we cant support, but feel free to appeal endlessly", and in the most effective one, "committing to making a legislative proposal by 2023 but actually if thats ok we'll make it 2026 and I suppose then if legislation is agreed it may be in place within a decade" (end cage farming, which polls at 86% approval already in the EU).
