@stevemakastevem@Rowaida_Abdel@Twitter@jack I USED to believe that Islam was a "peaceful, tolerant" religion. What changed my mind wasn't Robert Spencer...it was reading the Quran. While not all Muslims are terrorists, I can understand how terrorists use the Qur'an and example of Prophet Muhammad to "justify" terrorism.
@OY_America@C_3C_3 The only reason that "White supremacy" has grown is because hatred of White people and "whiteness" has grown. Also, like the original poster said, it's printed more in newspapers.
This is how deeply indoctrinated the women of the left are. She didn’t want to come forward about her RAPE because she shares politics with a rapist.
Think about that for a minute.
She was willing to stay quiet about the violent breach of the most crucial of things, her bodily autonomy because she shared his politics.
This is a level of fanaticism that the right can’t comprehend.
I have now read this highlighted sentence seventeen times because I assumed I wan't actually reading what was written. Surely my eyes didn't actually read this. Maybe someone accidentally pasted in dialogue from "The Onion." back when it was funny. But no.
She is saying that she delayed reporting a rape because she agreed with the accused, politically.
This is one of those moments where, if your IQ is over 85, your brain quietly excuses itself from the room.
We have apparently reached a point where politics has become the emotional-support animal for basic human survival instincts. "Yes, this person committed one of the worst crimes imaginable against me, but we both liked the same tax policy. Awkward."
If your political identity has become so central that it can outweigh reporting your own rape, congratulations: you hve joined a cult. Cults are famous for making people subordinate reality, morality, and self-preservation to the interests of the group.
I hate cults. I hate them a lot.
They don't ask you to ignore facts all at once: they ask for one tiny compromise after another until one day you discover you're explaining away things that should be absolutely indefensible.
What's sad isnt just that people end up there. It's that many of them don't even realize it. They sincerely believe they're making a principled decision when, from the outside, everyone else is wondering why the obvious isn't obvious anymore.
At least religious cults usually promise enlightenment, salvation, eternal life, or an alien spaceship hiding behind a comet. Political cults dont even offer that. They ask you to sacrifice your judgment, your relationships, sometimes even your own well-being in exchange for cable-news talking points, in favor of a politician who will sell you out for a pack of gum.
That's a spectacularly bad trade.
At some point, "my team" has to lose to "the person who committed a violent felony against me." That's not supposed to be a close game.
@Eggsneedlove2@Doku_HL_SDalt@Arianikle Teachers are some of the highest paid employees in the USA. If you factor in 2 months of vacation, greater job security, and other benefits they are VERY well paid. The problem is that their pay rate is based on SENIORITY, not quality.
@AZDevils95@AMilitantAgnost@Arianikle The right isn't "removing the history of slavery". There were many bad things that happened in the US. The right wants to promote a pro-US curriculum so that students are patriotic and proud to be American.
@MosabHasanYOSEF When a person converts to Islam, they are a Muslim FOR ALL ETERNITY. If they abandon Islam, they are an apostate, subject to the death penalty.
Similarly, when a nation becomes Islamic AT ANY TIME, any change is an "illegal occupation", subject to destruction. #Islam
@Ismokerugs@maxdubler The federal minimum wage in the US is $7.25, not $7.00. Where are these places where fast food employees are only making $7.25/hr? An unskilled & inexperienced employee might make $7.25/hr, but from what I know the AVERAGE wage is $15, not $7.
@BestResi4Fan@maxdubler What do you consider to be "fairly paid"? If the employees (not "workers", employees) are too "exhausted" or not "fairly paid", they can always LOOK FOR ANOTHER JOB.
@benignantShelly@WassonWatch MAGA aspires to make America safe & productive. It has nothing to do with "patriot front", which I had never heard of before July 4th.
@nickvsnikishia@ctvottawa Pride SEASON!? I'm OK with Pride Day, even a whole week. A month is excessive, but an entire SEASON!? How are LGBT people "opressed" if they have an entire SEASON?
@WyldCanuck@RecommS@ctvregina Sahih al-Bukhari 2420
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No doubt, I intended to order somebody to pronounce the Iqama of the (compulsory congregational) prayer and then I would go to the houses of those who do not attend the prayer and burn their houses over them."
@WyldCanuck@RecommS@ctvregina The "historical intent" no longer applies. Amplified Call To Prayer is no longer needed with smart watches, cellphone apps, etc. In 2026, the purpose is so that NON MUSLIMS "know where they are".

@djmcosmo@RecommS@ctvregina The core religious and historical intent of the Adhan (call to prayer) is to announce the five daily prayer times to Muslims in the vicinity so they can perform the obligatory salat.
@Kingfan5151@DontWalkRUN There's a string chance that the SPLC secretly organized the White nationalists. Trump spoke out AGAINST the White nationalits. The "very fine people" hoax was debunked years ago.
@Kingfan5151@DontWalkRUN During the George Floyd riots, many people were concerned about racism. Many people just showed up to loot & riot. Should people concerned about racism have left & stopped protesting?
The White nationists showed up LATER. Why should people who opposed removing statues leave?
