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.

MODERATORS
Well, all Abrahamic religions oppress women but Islam wins by a long shot. It needs reformation and badly.
Their are many more moderate sects of Islam, they just didn't get all the US and Saudi $$$$ to spread their beliefs.
Not sure how right or wrong that is when taking into account the more moderate sections of it, but in this particular case, as the article says, it's not really about Islam. The holy texts don't really call for any of this.
I'm not an anthropologist or a religion expert but you don't have to be one to notice that the most oppressive cultures towards women or gay people have one common denominator. Islam. Honour killings, marrying underage girls, do I need to keep going?
well maybe you need to educate your self before accusing a bout 1.8 billion people of something less than 100,000 do.
Burn their holy book and see what happens. Burn a bible and compare. You're either arguing in bad faith or very naive, and I'm being extremely generous here. Good luck with this level of cognition
So you don't like the cognitive that objective to the fact there are 1.8 billion muslium and you casting a general statement. You are not even attempting to compare "Muslium" to "Non Muslium" or doing any form of "thoughts" to support your comments other than personal feelings.
Even if 30% of muslims are actively against any violence there is still enough critical mass to make this religion an existential threat to the western world.

Are you saying this is just toxic masculinity and militias run amok?
My understanding of Afghanistan's complex situation isn't sufficient to confirm or deny, sorry.
Why would it need reformation? It just needs to be abolished, making part of it better just lends false legitimacy to the whole.
1.8 billion muslims in about 57 countries around the world oppress women and need reform according to OP. In addition, op also claim that another 2.8 billion christian also oppress women but not as bad.
Statically speaking to determine if something a problem among 46000 millions people you need at least 1% of such population doing something, that is about 460 million people. Taliban government is about 200,000 people which is less than 0.001%
U ok buddy?
He thinks he is making a point. It's cute when they do that.
