US approves Rafah op. in exchange for no Israeli counter-strikes on Iran - report
  • It's not about religion. Don't fall for this narrative.

    Iran has its Jewish community which has political representatives.

    At the end of the discussion Khomeini declared, "We recognize our Jews as separate from those godless, bloodsucking Zionists"[62] and issued a fatwa decreeing that the Jews were to be protected.

  • Israeli lawmakers say it out loud: Mass Migration from Gaza and Jewish resettlement
  • The thing is, Israel's behaviour is not new. The populations in the Arab countries already had that sentiment for more than a decade (cf. Osama bin Laden's letter to Americans). Now awareness is reaching the people in Western countries.

  • U.S. is sending a carrier strike group closer to Israel and will begin supplying munitions starting today
  • I really don't understand why people are still talking about religion at this point.

    I believe the humanitarian situation and the exasperation on one side and the economical interests and such on the other far outweigh the religious motivations

  • Is Boost for Lemmy vulnerable to the webp exploit?
  • This is why Pixel phone regular updates are a big deal, and a reason to run a regularly updated third party ROM like LineageOS.

    This is the very reason why I use LineageOS (as well as getting rid of bloatware).

  • makes sense != rule
  • Science is based on the principle of the inference to the most plausible. When you have multiple theories explaining a phenomenon, the one which makes the most sense with regards to the gathered data is deemed THE explanation. That is, until another theory comes with more compelling data and evidences.

    Example: the "static universe" cosmological model

    Science is basically our best understanding of the world. Doesn't mean it's 100% true, but it's how far we got.

  • ‘Media outlets are erasing Sinead O’Connor’s Muslim identity’
  • With all due respect, have you read the Qur'an? How can you judge something without actually looking into it?

    I won't hold this against you because you are saying it out of ignorance, but just know that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the US and in Europe, the average age of reverts is 27, the most reverts are postgraduates who spent in average 7 years studying the religion.

  • ‘Media outlets are erasing Sinead O’Connor’s Muslim identity’
  • We do not have the same paradigm, that's for sure. That's why we need to learn about each other's views.

    Islam's is: God created mankind and put it on earth for a propose. He gave us this life which is a test with do's and don'ts. And depending on whether we follow the rules or not there is eternal bliss or eternal punishment.

    Why am I or others positing this? Because God sent throughout our existence messengers to remind us of our purpose.

    Why should we trust these so called messengers? They were granted miracles, ie. things others cannot perform like splitting the sea, reviving the dead, splitting the moon etc.

    He also gave these messengers scripture with the laws to abide by. Where are these scriptures? Most of them were lost (Abraham's tablet, David's psalms...) or demonstrably corrupted by people (the old and the new testaments). The last scripture revealed is the Qur'an which is demonstrably preserved for everyone to read.

    Read it and read about Muhammad's life and you'll understand what so called "Islam" ("peace through submission" in Arabic) is.

  • Sex organs are something that males and females have in different forms, but it is disingenuous to say this is the only difference.

    The man MUST provide for the house. The woman is not obliged to work and bring money, but she can do it if she wants. The way you phrased it can be understood that she is barred from working when this is not the case. Prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) first wife Khadija was a successful tradeswoman for example. So the religion does not automatically make women financially dependant. There is abuse in some Muslim countries, no doubt like everywhere, but religion is not the reason.

    Moreover, whatever the woman earns is 100% hers if she chooses to, and the man has no claim on it in Islam. She can put that to use for the house expenses, or not if she chooses to. It's her right. Usually working women help the household's finances but it's up to couples to decide how they want to function.
