politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

I don’t know if people like you are ignorant or just stupid, I’ll assume the former.
You do realise that calling any group of people the same the same things is actually insane.
Like all cyclists are murders because I saw a cyclist kill someone once. Or all Americans are murders because the government killed people (arguably more people killed by this Christian government than any other). All white men are rapists because look at all the cases.
Every religion has barbaric stuff in there. Go read a book or something and stop yelling at clouds bro.
Please provide sources of other religions honor killings or rapes outside of the norm. Yes a ton of bad has happened in the past with other religions, but we're not talking about the past, we're talking about the present. Stop acting like Islam is a religion of peace. It's not.
I pity you living in fear like you do mate and I hope one day you can find some solace.
Have a nice day.
Uhh who said I live in fear. I don't live in a little bubble like you two seem to be doing but w/e.
Dude I live in Manchester. We’ve been bombed twice and had a riots once whilst I’ve been here.
Still don’t believe one group of people are terrorists. First time we were bombed was the IRA actually.
Ok and what does that have to do with the point that Islam as a religion is more violent than any other religion in the modern day?
Strange that the most violence comes towards those nations. From either the USA to Iraq and Afghanistan or Irsael to Palestine.
To reiterate none of any group are all the same. I could argue all people on lemmy are idiots after interacting with you, but alas I won’t do that.
Nice whataboutism... seriously you're delusional if you think that islam doesn't produce more violence than any other group.
