I find it hard to tell what is worse. The authoritarian military dictatorship or the Muslim brotherhood with their medieval social ideas. Just one thing seems clear, the death penalty is wrong and violates fundamental human rights.
The authoritarian military group that imprison and kill their oponents
The Islamists would be doing the very same thing though. Shariah law isn’t very kind to non-Muslims.
They won the election two times in tunisia and they never had a plan to implements the shariah.
Muslim Brotherhood all the way... Because they are brainwashing people to spread their bullshit labeled as religion. Anyone who is dealing in religion is far worse than any kind of dictator because the dictator will die in the end but religious bullshit will continue to poison the minds of millions.
Nationalism is a religion
I would've appreciated that you explained why but I see that many people act like reddit snowflakes because it's so hard to face the reality.
Nationalism is not a religion but an excuse for people to fuck around commit atrocious acts because someone didn't talk like they liked. I wonder why it's so?
In the sense a shed is a skyscraper since they are both buildings. Think people are going to be singing your national anthem 1400 years from now?
Why would the number of years matter? Most religions don't last 1400 years. And the ones that do might as well be new religions considering how much of their actual practices change.
In July 2013, the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood organised a massive sit-in in the Rabaa al Adawiya to denounce the the coup.
Security forces later raided the square and killed hundreds of people in a single day in what they termed a counter-terrorism operation.
If your "counter-terrorism" operation involves killing citizens peacefully protesting the ousting of the democratically elected president, then you're the terrorist.
The real lesson here is that democracy means you vote for the candidate that will benefit USA / Israel.
We fight the terrorism with more brutal terrorism. That turns the original terrorism into a footnote and reduces its significance.
Congratulations everyone, we've successfully defeated Terrorism©
This whole thing has been when I realised that democracy is not what westerners want for the rest of the world. I remember no one batting an eye.
(...) for their role in the deadly violence of 2013, which followed the military's ouster of Mohamed Morsi, the country's first democratically elected president.
The men were accused of conspiring to topple the government of Abdel Fattah el Sissi, who himself came to power after overthrowing Mohamed Morsi.
That's a pretty good picture of him though lol
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
