World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

According to Islam Q&A
This is sourced from a commentary on several hadiths Hadiths are the life the writings of the life that Prophet Muhammad had lived
They are used to distinguish what is right or wrong, and Hadiths by themselves can not be proven correct as many of them were written many years after Muhammad had died
These commentaries provide interpretations of what has been written by scholars within Hadiths, and these interpretations are often a common sore spot of debates
You'll find many disagreements due to these interpretations, and you can actually see this in your source:
The Qur'an itself represents every creation of god as equal and to treat them with kindness as if they were you
This is also why Eid Al Adha can also be interpreted as a festival of sacrifice of what is important, and not just animal sacrifice. You can sacrifice your money to provide food to the poor, your beloved possessions as a sacrifice because you lack the means to provide donations (Sadaqah)
You do not have to view Islam in a way where interpretation is impossible, in fact, it is very open ended and is a topic of discussion even a thousand years after
You yourself could even become an Islamic scholar by starting to read Qur'an translations and provide your own interpretations, that is halal to do, to search for a correct answer with what is provided to you, all knowledge at your hands, and halal to teach others about your interpretations that were honestly made, all in search of truth.
Thanks for clarification 👍
That’s a bit wild. I’m from the Middle East and there’s not much love for dogs because we have a lot of stray dogs that are legit scary and dangerous.
There are rules about not keeping dogs where you pray but it’s a pretty extremist stance to forbid keeping dogs. I have some pretty religious family and even some of those have dogs.
If you search on google for Islam rules you’re gonna find a lot of Westboro Baptist Church kinda sources that have nothing to do with how normal people live.
Perhaps you've got cause and effect mixed up
Yeah I don’t think you understood my comment.
I think I did. Let me rephrase mine, maybe my point of view is better illustrated this way:
(A) there’s not much love for dogs because we have a lot of stray dogs that are legit scary and dangerous.
(B) we have a lot of stray dogs that are legit scary and dangerous, because there's not much love for dogs
How does one discern the causal relationship in these cases?
So there’s people keeping pet dogs also in the middle east, which are very cute if you’re a dog person.
It’s more difficult to keep dogs than e.g. in most of Europe, because outside of winter you can’t really take them on walks during the day at temperatures of up to 40-50°C and most cities are incredibly car centered due to the high temperatures and the lack of public transportation.
Therefore it’s sadly not really a recreational activity unless you live in the countryside. That’s why people can’t really build positive associations with dogs.
Of course if there’d be funding to bring the strays to shelters, vaccinate & track them, do birth control, build and maintain dog parks etc. people would lose the association over time and see only the good boys being cute. In that sense I don’t think it matters how we got to this point or wonder whether it’s always been like that.
But all of that has nothing to do with religion, and my point was that the Iranian regime is just doing extremist stuff (to the surprise of no one).
They turned religion into bookkeeping lol
Have you met any Jewish people? 😀
I have but they weren't orthodox
