      I feel like any kind of extremism is bad, I mean, it’s in the name unfortunately. Religious extremism is obviously no exception to that.

        Democracy used to be an extremist position. Questioning the divine rule of kings in favor of letting the plebs vote?

        Completely unthinkable

        So, it’s nuanced

        Extremism is a subjective marker, and I hope you’d never learn that yourself (:

        It is objectively true though that this person’s autonomy was unlawfully disrupted for reasons inspired by herd mentality, magical thinking and egocentrism. That’s before this kind of agenda being of it’s own corporation with pipelines, money and supporters.

    James, 16, screams as a pack of black-clad teenagers drag him to the ground and stomp on his head while an attacker films on his phone in Sydney’s Strathfield Park.

    the gang forces a different 16-year-old into a toilet block and repeatedly punches him while calling him a “f-----” and a “kaffir”, or nonbeliever. Blood runs down his face as he begs, “I’ll do anything.”

    kaffir means infidel / disbeliever

        Abrahamic religions dgaf about convincing non-believers as they perpetuate themselves through generational indoctrination.

            Just once I want someone to run on eradicatimg all religion and banning it’s practice.

            Several socialist/communist countries have had some form of this as policy.

              Several

              I suspect it is exactly zero nowadays.

              Soviet Union was the only country I know that managed to do it in a nice way: not through ban, but through serious discouraging, education, and satire program.

        Everyone who gets banned from Blahaj gets real bent out of shape for it and feel the need to bring it up constantly. 99% of the time said ban was completely justified.

            I’m game!

            Let’s see…

            Last week you had a post removed where the mod, on Lemmy.world, said “Enough of the bigotry posts, next one gets a ban”.

            Another a few months back for breaking the community rules in Dad Jokes (also on LW), with a title of “Muslim people dont seem very liberal”. So we can see which rule that broke.

            On mander.xyz a comment of yours was deleted for a disparaging comment about the disabled.

            I have to say… Yeah, I think they were right, it was probably well deserved to be banned from blahaj.

            @[email protected] for your ref I took a look

                yeah dude, everyone is seeing it but you, thats why you got banned.

                Edit: Also…

                Try again, gamer.

                  In shitpost community. I don’t know it was a community for serious discussion.

                  yeah dude, everyone is seeing it but you, thats why you got banned

                  I didn’t get banned from dadjokes for posting that. Try again. And that post is after blahaj ban.

                  So yeah, clutching at straws at best.

            They’re probably banned from Blahaj for saying something bigoted about muslims and they believe one news story proves them right

              I imagined the same, I was really hoping they’d spell it out for us so that they’d maybe have a moment of clarity and realize the ban was warranted.

              (Edit - oh, maybe they did respond? I see a bunch of removed comments by ‘[email protected]’ whom seems to be banned now, but im sure the comments I was responding to were from a different user with a bunch of emoji in their username… I don’t know how Lemmy federation works with multiple usernames though, so I’m guessing same user.)

                  By your logic we should condemn allies for bombing Dresden and hold them equal standard as nazis

                I see tons of instances of you being an asshole, told to not be an asshole, and continuing to be an asshole leading to MANY bans across the whole of Lemmy. But there’s also a ton of removed comments baselessly shitting on Muslim people.

                Warranted bans. The only unwarranted ones are getting banned from the pro-GenAI comms for being anti-AI and not even using those communities to begin with.
