It’s a step in the right direction: There are two theocratic – hate ideology ruled country in the middle-east right now. And one of them is Israel. We need to be aware of all those hate ideologies around us and try to shut them down before they can do some real damage.
…and I wanted to mention and share my thoughts on this hideous attack on the Islamic center of San Diego. I think we are lucky that only the security guard + two mosque workers where shot. Luck and the response of individuals on such crime scenes can play an enormous role in this kind of hate crimes.
Same question.

That Pesky First Amendment
Quote:A Tennessee man who was jailed for more than a month following his arrest over a Facebook post related to the killing of Charlie Kirk has settled a "unlawful incarceration" lawsuit for $835,000 (£621,000).
Larry Bushart, a retired police officer, spent 37 days behind bars before authorities dropped the felony charges against him, during which he lost his post-retirement job and missed the birth of his grandchild.

More Bad News For Russia
Quote:Finnish lawmakers voted by a margin of 125 to 61 on Wednesday to lift the country’s longstanding ban on nuclear weapons, marking a major shift in Helsinki’s security posture as it deepens its integration with NATO.
The measure clears the way for Finland to receive, transport and otherwise facilitate the movement of nuclear weapons on its territory as part of allied defense operations, removing a decades-old legal restriction that officials say no longer fits the country’s role inside NATO. Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen hailed the move as “essential” for Finland’s security, but insisted the country had no plans to permanently station nuclear arms on its soil.
Quote:The vote caps a years-long transformation in Finnish defense policy triggered by Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Finland subsequently joined NATO in 2023 and shares more than 1,300 kilometers of border with Russia. Earlier this year, Häkkänen that the country’s nuclear restrictions, dating back to 1980, no longer reflected the geopolitical realities facing a NATO member.

Total devastation in Venezuela following a powerful earthquake. Up to 100,000 people are feared dead.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

^Well, since Michelle Obama is clearly a man (based on the irrefutable statement of that genius who kicks people for a living), it's Gay Barack's fault.

Germany:
In 2024 Taleb A. from Syria drove a rented car around the x-mas market, injuring hundreds and killing six. Today he was sentenced to life with no fucking chance for parole.ever. He was diagnosed with a narcissistic personal disorder, having an "enormous need for attention".
So far so good. Now for the freaky part:
After asylum being granted, he had earned a PhD and worked as a psychiatrist to treat inmates in a german prison.

His ‘enormous need for attention’ could have been satisfied by taking a shit on the salad bar at a local restaurant.
