World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Muslim terrorists are terrorists because they are muslim. Otherwise they would just be mental health patients.
As an example: in 2023 out of all the terrorism arrests that happened in Europe, only 13% were immigrants but when you look at news articles, they are filled with immigrants attacking Europe.
Somehow, everyone knows rascism is bad but when it comes to immigrants or muslims, people are waaay too eager to believe that their terrorism is due to their ethnicity or faith rather than the unjust treatment or radicalizing institutes (like ISIS), where as such institutes were funded to defend western economic interests.
Where did I say that Islamic terrorist are terrorist because they are muslims? ah yes the guys that blew up Brussels Station or gunned down Charlie Hebdo were just mental health patients. LOL. I'm not talking about the random attacks by mentally ill people my dude.
You made a general statement about "muslim terrorist" killing train station and stadium full of kids.
The very word "muslim terrorist" implicates muslims with terrorism through guilt by association. Otherwise people would just call them terrorist.
How come nobody calls IDF jewish terrorist? Cuz when somebody were to use that word everyone else will call them antisemite and rightly so. Even though jewish scripture+rabbis preach violence against gentiles, we still shouldn't be using that language.
Charlie hebdo or any other crime of that nature happens when the person comitting the crime are failed by the system. They were neglected and alienated by society, indoctrinated by exetremist institutions like ISIS which were themselves created by CIA and the likes to protect western imperialism
ok read my post again. I didn't even write Muslim terrorist in the first post. Also do you feel the same about Anders Breivik as what you just wrote about the Charlie Hebdo attackers?
