Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

A Taliban official says women lose value if their faces are visible to men in public, and that the only way to wear the hijab, or the Islamic headscarf, is if the face is hidden

Welcome to islam. Maybe start teaching science and logic rather than religion and you'll have less nut bags.

Every single one of these Taliban men was birthed by a woman, nursed by one, and mostly raised by one.

Women, if you raise your son's to be Muslim they will treat your daughter's like this. Tell them that there is no Allah, tell them that Abdul and Mohammad were wicked, tell them that the Imam is a shaman. Tell them the truth before it's too late.

Are you dumb or just a bigot?

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Are you poisoning the well or using a personal attack to avoid dealing with an idea?

Oh really? Because your comment was about me and not a single thing I said.

Guess the Koran doesn't teach logical fallacies, just how much a women's testimony is worth compared to a man's.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world -1 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Yeah you're still a bigot, lumping every Muslim into the same fucked up delusion you have.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

Attack the argument and not the person. Do I need to put it in some Koran-like form?

And skydaddy said it unto the prophet blessed be he, thus sayeth Allah the most merciful. It is far better for a person to attack the ideas than the men who spoketh the idea. For the first leads to reasoned debate the latter is Haram and leads to logical fallacies.

There, that ought to do it. See? I am meeting you halfway. Do you need a copy of basic logic as well?

Hi know good muslim people, so it's not just that.

That said, plenty of issues come down to religion in general, with a few exceptions here and there.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago (1 children)

It is amazing to me how different the views are. One on side you got Westerner apologists whose knowledge of Islam is what they half remember from a video they saw on YouTube ten years ago on the other hand you have the Taliban. Both sides claim to know what real Islam is about. Well sorry not sorry I am going to believe the people who live with the Koran vs you.

You know good Muslims? I do as well. Does that make the tenents of Islam good? I don't think so. Does that make them true? Nope. All you can really say is that you know people who aren't following their own religion and as a result they are good people.

The tenets of Islam are pretty good tho - pray a lot every day, give money to the poor, do a pilgrimage - it's the historic and contemporary leadership, culture, violence, and precedence that are bad

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (2 children)

Praying is talking to yourself because there is no god to hear it.

[–] match@pawb.social 0 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Sure, but meditation is good

[–] Lifebandit666@feddit.uk 1 points 3 years ago

Praying isn't Meditating, it's Praying.

You an call me what you want, that won't make your skydaddy real.

I'm an atheist and have read the Koran. Got it as a gift from a Muslim friend who is an eminently decent and well meaning person.

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 3 years ago

I’m an atheist

Blasphemy the Holy Ghost and deny the existence of Allah. Go ahead and commit the unforgivable sins. As an atheist this shouldn't be an issue for you.
