The got him for 'disturbing the peace' thereby breaking his suspended sentence terms

I think the death sentence bit is hyperbolic. Not my tweet.

Why the fuck are the uk rank and file cops so cucked anyway?

I can understand directives from on high but it looks endemic

If he dies at the hand of muslims in prison they'll make a matyr of him

The Empire really does need a restoration

Sadly britain can no longer lead. Time for the rest of the Commonwealth to take charge perhaps

At a guess, cctv. The uk is the most surveilled place on earth

Yeah cctv

Oh yup florida sorry

Okay there were witnesses

The women involved got shorter, suspended sentences of course

I thought for a minute you meant 'preteens' bunny...

I was getting creeped out lol

Tbh block barely even makes sense on twitter. Mute is more sane

Coran sounds like some teenager on a Nickelodeon sitcom

Well it does say homosexuality is a sin

The bible is really pretty clear about homosexuality being a sin, at least for male homosexuality

whether that's "anti gay" or not I suppose is sorta debatable

Well the bible has Leviticus 20:13

NIV: "If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

Arguing in the existence of magic and super-beings without supporting evidence, and arguing that should affect one's life, political actions and society at large is an extremist position in my book but meh

That's a relatively modern interpretation that is on pretty shaky ground Amita

Culturally child marriage was *extremely* common at the time, there's not much reason to doubt the literal interpretations

Tawhidi is hardly considered "Mainstream" - in fact he is somewhat reformist. While reformist imams are a good thing in general I dont know he's a good basis for making general arguments about islam.

And yes, I'm in Australia, Tawhidi shows up in the media a bit here :)

He's reformist enough it's possible he could honestly put nationality before religion if pressed.

Christianity mostly solved the temporal vs spiritual allegiance issue a while back. Death of the papal states etc.

Honestly, religion in general is fast becoming incompatible with western civilization

you can have advanced scientific societies or you can have mythology and superstition

If they have citizenship papers or qualify as natural citizens then they're citizens

just like everyone else

There are people who wish to replace their governments with christian theocracies or absolute monarchies

In democracies, as long as they work within the system they're entitled to hold those views and work towards them

it's everyone else's duty to work against it

In some cases yes Baraban

Right now, @Swords & Shield perhaps not

But in the height of the Bush Jr era, christian theocrats were quite powerful

not that long ago

I'm absolutely against political violence, and against pulling "oppression" cards as a political tactic

Some absolutely did

There are many christian theocrats who flat out argue that freedom of religion for example should only apply to christian sects, and doesn't grant other religions nor atheism any rights.

No, they're not in any widespread way no

A lot of the IRA violence in the Troubles was essentially religious terrorism though

The recent past

and that was dealt with appropriately - target the problem elements but dont try to wipe out catholicism

The islamic world is still a total mess following the fall of the Ottomans in 1922. It will be probably another century at least before it finds a level of stability. Post imperial dark ages are nasty

Actually the lines were drawn deliberately to break up powerful tribes and groups in the old empire

They were trying to avoid a powerful successor state arising

The Sauds, who managed to mostly avoid mandate control, see themselves in that role for example

Well they were messing about with the mandate territories on their borders

The question is, do non Wahhabist sects generally hold allegiance to the religion above allegiance to the state?

Because any organization or religion that does that will always be a problem

The claim is they're worried about the trial being tainted, whereas there was apparently no such concern for Dankula. I suspect having to declare a mistrial because of jury preconceptions was something they didn't want. However, on a non-legal level, they probably were trying to avoid publication of the details to avoid pissing people off more

Because sexual crimes push emotional buttons

Woah

most of the standard bots are on my blocklist.

No humans

just bots :)

Unless you're removed from the ban list obviously

Try to rejoin (after a few minutes, kicks do impose a very brief "mini ban" to stop auto rejoins from happening too fast)

In general @JDM_WAAAT not necessarily here

Fair enough, but discord does permit removal from the ban list, even if you don't actually do that :)

Timeouts I spose

Or in some 18+ servers I'm in, bans get removed for underage folk when they turn 18

that's pretty short for a server this public

_will try not to have too severe an autism attack :)_

As a foreigner it'd be inappropriate for me to petition the UK government over its legal processes

Shame them publicly? sure. But it's something UK citizens need to fix

I also recall our Target stores banning GTA sales over a mostly foreign signed petition

I'll talk about it, I'll put moral and PR pressure on people, but the UK government is responsible to the UK people not me

I also recall having ridiculous privacy requirements imposed on my place of work because of a government I didn't elect and can't appeal to

as of a day or two ago

Australia

I try not to be :)

Eh the idiot advertised a substance thats illegal under US federal law and prescription only under AU law (and advertising prescription drugs is illegal here).

what'd he expect

Not in Australia. And it's in a legal grey zone under us federal law.

Or rather, it's a controlled substance in Australia, which you aren't allowed to advertise

I have to say, when I went to the US recently I was amazed by the number of prescription drug ads

Valve, despite letting some serious crap on steam, does appear to be not evil in general

(so far)

(So under federal law btw, *any* THC content makes a substance illegal, and even hemp does contain incredibly low levels of THC - also under the 2014 Farm bill, hemp is illegal to grow in the US for commercial purposes (federally) and illegal to import. )

Because the federal government is currently choosing to limit enforcement where state laws exist permitting it

At any time, the DEA could be directed to stamp out state weed industries, and they'd be legally entitled to do so

Never heard of pegging Centronius?

...

poor innocent soul

Pegging is the utilization of a object (usually but not necessarily in the form of a strap on dildo) to simulate anal sex upon a male, usually by a female.

Hence, it is essentially a "stick up the arse"

Next week: speculums

lol

EVERYONE

What lesbian girl?

and if she's bi she's not a lesbian, by definition

Because he doesn't actually have a dick?

Just a guess

Anal's fantastic as a control/ownership thing

I would imagine it also depends on who is catcalling them
