Now your turn, what do you think? And why did you want them not to google?

I didn’t want them to google it simply because I wanted to know what they think, many people here on Lemmy has little or no information or false information about Islam, as an exmuslim myself and someone who lives in that region, I see all kinds of false information, and what’s worse is that people will label you as a racist if you say what you just said…

I think they mean good, they don’t know anything about a certain culture, so when someone crtisize it, they think they’re from the west like them, so they’ll abuse the report button to shut them off, but by doing so they end up empowering the same radical ideology that’s wants to replace them, it’s strange to me that they think christianity has flaws but not Islam

about their prophet marrying a 9yo. Although I’ve witnessed controversy around her exact age amongst people in /r/DebateReligion

Almost correct, she was 6yo when he married her and 9yo when he raped her, see:

that the Prophet (ﷺ) married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old. Hisham said: I have been informed that `Aisha remained with the Prophet (ﷺ) for nine years (i.e. till his death). - Source : Sahih Boukhari : 5134

Edit: Quran also encourages to marry underaged girls even they were babies ( because it doesn’t put any age restrictions )

Can I ask you a question ? please don’t cheat and google it…

Why do you think the talis marry underaged girls ? from where did they get that behavior?

Explain that to someone who tells you: “no, bring back Window to my laptop” … It’s the sadest sentence I hear

The look on her face is priceless… 😂

Oh, I just saw this… do you still want those vids or channels ?

Yes, you can do that when you have to vote for the lesser evil… and compromise!.. how about NO

what about your principles ? what about setting an example for the future generations ? what are they going to think of their ancestors who lived under and had to work with evil systems because "that’s what they had to work with"

I’m not saying it’s going to be easy, but we need to recognize these systems of control, and boycott them and I’m very glad to see more and more people waking up to the surveillance agenda and leaving Big tech… the government is also a control system, people hate to admit that because it makes them think they’re weak, but that’s not true…

Especially in the nordic Europe

we look up to those nations and we say it worked for them, so it’ll work for us, but there are many factors to consider that won’t play the same for you

and i would argue that even when it works, it’s still susceptible to failure, change of rulers, bad policies accumulate quietly, being told to do something unethical for the greater good ( e.g. taxes )

what about other places where it didn’t work? even after years and years of trying ( voting ), what do you call doing the same thing and expecting different results ? … when you try to remove a dictator peacefully and you end up getting bombed, remember that the Syrian protests started with red roses and ended with blood… anyways I feel I’m going way off topic here… but the point is give a central authority too much power and they’ll abuse it, if not now it’ll be later… so just don’t …it’s time to move on, we can organize ourselves without selling our liberties like our right to privacy.

btw, I thought about this, a looong time ago, when I was thinking is this system rigged? young me felt there’s a conspiracy, but now I realize it’s just how it works, it demands control

That’s why UPS boxes exist … Or Timeshift if you don’t have the cash

the quality of this picture has gotten so much better over time, it’s strange

And went downhill afterwards

It’s funny you you say that, because we humans as a species are so fascinating, we harnessed many forces of natue, and we came up with mindblowing ideas, yet when it comes to the concept of a government, we think that’s the only system that can work, and the only way that we can live, it’s sad honestly, governments abuse their power, you can’t get them to stop it… unless you want a bullet…so so much for being civil

I’m always that bro, I mean I used to be back when I had friends…

i stopped to tie my shoes and they kept walking… I lost them

Idk it sounds like a compliment…lol

“you’re such a snowflake ❄️”

me: 🥺👉👈

if you want to address the root cause of surveillance you should be demanding the government to change it’s ways ? Is that what you’re saying ?

I don’t think it’s the lack of transparency or corruption by the government, I think that the very existence of a government ( a centralized authority ) leads to this sort of behavior, you can’t outsource your power to choose, some of your absolute liberty to a ruler and expect they won’t abuse it, you can’t have your cake and eat it with this system, a system where democracies act as Dictatorships, and sometimes they do it openly and all you can do is watch

i get the same feeling… people are too serious here

Yep, they’ll ask you to step inside a booth, face a tablet and that thing will take a snapshot of your face, what a dystopia ??!!

umm, what !

That’s not a bug in the artwork, that’s a darn show stopper … 😅
