“Bill Maher and Salman Rushdie Clash Over Islam: “There’s Been a Deadly Mutation”

Bill Maher: Turkey's President said, "Women are not equal to men, our religion has defined position for women, motherhood."

I can't imagine a Western government leader saying that.

What we've said all along, and have been called bigots for it, is when there's this many bad apples, there's something wrong with the orchard.

Salman Rushdie: There's been a deadly mutation in the middle of Islam.

This is not a random mutation.

Governments from the Sunni side, the Saudi government;

on the Shia side, the Iranian government have been putting fortunes of money into making sure that extremist mullahs are preaching in mosques around the world, building schools in which a whole generation is being educated in extremism.

But in a way, we're a side show. This is a project to seize power in the Islamic world.

Whether it's the Taliban, ISIS, Boko Haram, or Al-Shabaab, what they're trying to do is create a mindset which allows them to conquer the world of Islam.

Paul Begala: That's critical for Americans to realize. It's not about us. The real fight is not Islam versus the West, it's within Islam. It's between the terrorists and the tolerant. It's between Al-Qaeda and Malala.

Kirsten Powers: Yeah, but it is Americans who are being beheaded by ISIS right now.

Bill Maher: There should be a distinction, because obviously the vast majority of Muslims would never do anything like this. But they share bad ideas.

Sam Harris said, "Islam is the mother lode of bad ideas," and everyone went fucking nuts, but it is!

These two guys who shot up the cartoonist the other day were revenging the prophet.

A bad idea! Martyrdom, a bad idea! Women as second-class citizens, a bad idea! And unfortunately, the terrorists and the mainstream share a lot of these bad ideas.

Dilimache se miră ca pr*asta-n târg de necesitatea unui certificat de căsătorie. În mintea lui bolnavă, se crede în epoca de piatră, atunci când oamenii cavernelor nu semnau contracte de căsătorie, ci doar se împreunau pentru perpetuarea speciei.

Well, this how it shows that you are biased or misguided! If the so called ABB is the bad thing that happens then fight against IT, not against the actual listing of companies on stock exchange, which cuts through the existing high-level corruption.

[Oana Eftimie @Oana_Eftimie]

La fiecare temă majoră care domină agenda publică am observat o serie de intoxicări aruncate în piață, care apoi sunt rostogolite fie de foci, fie de conturi false care exact cu asta se ocupă. Sunt activate pentru a întreține narativul oficial.

Acum, narativul oficial este că statul gestionează prost avuția pe care o mai are, că toate companiile cu capital de stat sunt pe pierdere, că trebuie „eficientizate”, că listarea la bursă s-a făcut deja în cazul Hidroelectrica, Romgaz — deci ce mai contează încă 5-10 procente? Că, în fond, toți putem deveni acționari cu această ocazie.

Dacă vă uitați la comentariile de la postările precedente, vă îngroziți cât de manipulate, dar și cât de agresive au devenit focile. Și cum toți vin cu exact aceleași lozinci. Analfabeți funcțional, care nu înțeleg un text și nici nu se întreabă unde se duc, totuși, banii din țara asta.

Unde, dacă ne împrumutăm 20 de miliarde de euro pe an, dacă noi contribuim mai mult decât anul trecut la bugetul statului prin măsurile de austeritate și dacă statul nu are nici măcar un proiect major de investiții. Aproape tot e blocat!

Unde sunt banii, focilor? Și de ce ajungem să vindem companii strategice din sectorul energetic tocmai acum, când alte state își consolidează controlul asupra lor?

Focilor, ce nu aveți voi capacitatea să înțelegeți și ce subliniam ieri este că acum Bolo nu vă mai oferă posibilitatea să deveniți acționari la Hidroelectrica, Romgaz sau Transgaz.
Nu mai vorbim despre ofertă publică deschisă tuturor (SPO), ci despre plasament accelerat (ABB), direcționat către investitori instituționali.
Rapid, discret, sub prețul pieței și doar pentru șmecheri, nu pentru foci.

P.S. Ah. Și PSD-ul iese de la guvernare doar ca să nu se murdărească cu manevra asta, dar nu face nimic să o blocheze. Inițiați moțiune de cenzură, băieți. Faceți discuții pentru o altă majoritate. Loc de manevră aveți destul. Cu AUR, cu ce a mai rămas din SOS, POT și cu neafiliații. Și ștergeți-vă de proeuropenism la gură, că vă duce la 7-8%.
Unde vă e și locul, dar astea sunt alte discuții.

[Aurel Sarac @aurelsarac]

Listing companies on the stock exchange is the right thing to do, instead of holding them as “cash-cows“ for corrupted bureaucrats. This way entire population can participate and benefit when they are profitable.

[Oana Eftimie @Oana_Eftimie]

M-am săturat să aud „jalon PNRR” ca justificare pentru orice. Trecând peste faptul că, de cele mai multe ori, această justificare este o minciună, am ajuns să am alergie când aud de PNRR.

Listăm la bursă companii profitabile din sectorul energetic pentru că… PNRR.
Mărim vârsta de pensionare pentru că… PNRR.
Închidem mine și termocentrale pentru că… PNRR.

Dar câți bani am primit efectiv și în ce formă, grant sau împrumut, nu spune nimeni.

O fac eu în cea mai recentă ediție Subversiv (las linkul în comentarii) și o voi face și mai detaliat în următoarea ediție.

I beg to disagree. Even more, nobody who hasn’t had an experience with surrogacy should not have a say on the subject!

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Nobody should be permitted to use surrogacy under any circumstance

It’s laughable to hear the Pope saying “we are not politicians” while religion in all its shapes and forms is, and it has been, the most impactful political movement in the history of humanity.

[Courtney Mares @catholicourtney]

In response to a personal attack by President Donald Trump the night before, Pope Leo told journalists on the papal plane to Algeria:

“I have no fear of the Trump administration or speaking out loudly of the message of the Gospel, which is what I believe I am here to do, what the Church is here to do. We are not politicians. We don’t deal with foreign policy with the same perspective he might understand it, but I do believe in the message of the Gospel, as a peacemaker.”

The United States is collapsing in real time under the sheer stupidity of this man and the fascist clique that surrounds him. Imposing sanctions on EU countries for refusing to go along with his idiotic desire to annex Greenland will result in economic suicide for the US.

Great song too! They sure don't make music like they used to! ✌️

[Aurel Sarac @aurelsarac]

How about forgetting about Trump and US? You should begin blasting European countries for decades of disastrous socio-economic policies which brought them to the point that 27 countries are weaker than a country ravaged by 4 years of sanctions and war.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

I spent years blasting Obama, and later Biden, for foreign policy weakness, especially regarding Russia. Harris would have been more of the same. But that was always the lesser evil to Trump abandoning every aspect of US values and leadership. A global tragedy with worse ahead.

[Aurel Sarac @aurelsarac]

Wrong question?! Why is a bloc of 27 countries so weak in face of a country torn apart by four years of sanctions and war against Ukraine?!There, I fixed for you!

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

Would the US support Putin's aggression in Ukraine if Trump was not the president of the US?
I doubt it & certainly hope not.
Why does the US accept that Trump has turned the US Are US institutions so weak?
I ask as a US citizen.

[Aurel Sarac @aurelsarac]

Those who “couldn’t make it at home” didn’t want what they left home. That is why they created the greatest political document, aka the US Constitution, which kept their country from becoming what EU has become…weak and begging for protection in the face of first real threat.

[Joel Willans @VFinnishProbs]

@JoeGee27351245 Since when did “all the talent”mean “couldn’t make it at home, so did a runner”? And just because we handed you a country to ruin doesn’t make our history yours.

[Aurel Sarac @aurelsarac]

…and yet, you are writing this on X, probably using an iPhone, and Internet, all US innovations! At the same time a total of 27 countries are afraid of Russia, weakened by 4 years of war, and literally begging these “MAGA people” to protect you from your enemy! Pathetic!

[Joel Willans @VFinnishProbs]

Who the fuck are these MAGA clowns to lecture us Europeans about anything?

They live in a European ex-colony, under European-written laws, governed by a European-designed political system, speaking a European language, using a European alphabet, practising European concepts of rights, quoting European philosophers, celebrating European holidays, living inside European-mapped borders, with European surnames, and flying a flag based on European heraldic design.

Their entire nation is the plastic, theme-park replica of Europe. Instead of spouting bollocks about Europe, they should read a history book...ideally one with words as well as pictures.

[Catarina Senora Gatita @WyattCatarina]

No concrete barriers. No armed guards.
No tension in the air. Just thousands of people wrapped in Christmas lights, singing carols, drinking hot wine, and celebrating the birth of Christ… in peace. Romania, you’re showing the world what it looks like when a country still remembers joy, faith, and safety go hand in hand ~ God bless you.
I pray the rest of Europe and America gets this feeling back soon.🙏🎄🇨🇽
