If I understand it right, the moderator of the mastodon.world instance has blocked several posts by Hasnain Kazim, as Kazim reported yesterday on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/661473263/posts/10163657720033264/
Kazim is a quite famous and successful book author in Germany and something between left, conservative and liberal. He was journalist for the most important German weekly news magazine Spiegel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasnain_Kazim?wprov=sfla1
Canceling his posts is stupid and certainly completely exaggerated. To me from the external perspective it seems that the moderator is abusing his power. He is damaging free and respectful discussion. Furthermore, when a famous person like Kazim reports those experiences to his broad audience, who do not understand the functioning of the fediverse, the moderator also damages Mastodon in general significantly, it seems to me.
What do you think about this case ?
Again:
The actions of even 10s of millions doesn’t give you a reason to judge all 2+ billion.
It’s based on “religious law” by the interpretation of extremists.
Something shared with the other two Abrahmic religions and multiple others.
But at this point you are being explicitly bigoted and don’t have ignorance as an excuse
Thats the problem here: i don’t see any countries where laws are based on the bible and interpreted in a way that legitimizes murder of minorities based on their gender and orientation, and especially not such a widespread usage of sharia law.
You can educate me if you know of any that do so currently, and i know that not everything is peachy in all countries (especially since Trump 2 in the US), but by and large this behaviour is not socially accepted and for sure our judges don’t condemn anyone to death for being gay.
Sharia is fundamentally incompatible with democracy, and also in my view incompatible with human rights. And you are falling victim to the “no true scotsman” fallacy - denying that Muslims stance towards LGBT in general is absolutely abhorrent and often deadly where they have power doesn’t help anyone.
The problem you have is those countries don’t exist?
The reason they don’t exist, is Western Christian nations never created them like they did for Islamic and Jewish extremists.
Seriously, whatever country you’re talking about, go look on Wikipedia at who put the current regime in charge and what it was like before.
If you don’t have a specific example in mind, use IRA.
I’m saying by that logic (which is wrong) you should apply it to anyone that follows any of the Abrahmic religions.
There would still be problems with it, but it would be logically consistent at least.
