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.

Pakistan executes rapists, we elect them.
"We" do not as I am not from the US, nor are many other lemmings.
As long as OP is from the US, the sentence is correct.
If the epstien files are any indication. Yeah you probably did
It's a global issue, scum rises to teh top, and the same ones are everywhere.
Funny the other poster doesnt think so
One instance doesn't mean Pakistan is for women. This incident happened in 2020. It's just because of the protests that led to the arrests.
Pakistanis will kill a woman for being a Hindu. It's a one religion state. Pakistan also sponsors terrorism and extreme Jihadists who believe women must wear burkhas all the time. It is a failed state that borrows money from the west just to keep itself floating and sponsor terrorism.
They executed a Christian dude for not giving a guy a discount for being a muslim. Apparently during the argument, he committed "blasphemy"
So the executed the guy for blasphemy, not for not giving a discount. I'm sure he drank water that day too, but they didn't exacute him for drinking water.
Still a ridiculous thing to kill someone for, but let's not mix facts.
A heated argument and provocation could easily lead to something considered blasphemy. Ie "Mohammed is a prophet from Allah" "no he isn't"
It sure can. Still the reason was the blasphemy, not the discount.
Close, replace borrows with funded, they're funded by the west, US particularly
If you borrow but never repay, that becomes funding, I guess
Yeah, there are a lot of issues, but no Epstein.
Heck, Iran is more progressive than MAGA FFS.
No Epstein because they pretty much don't give a shit about child marriages so no one talks about it as if it something bad. Parents marry their girls off even before puberty. Only an idiot will think any religious state is progressive. Just because West has problems that their right wingers ignore doesn't mean some other religion extremist regime is any better. You simply cannot compare two bads and conclude "AtLeAsT tHeY sEeM mOrE PrOgReSsIvE".
After the Hindus murdered them for being Muslim.
What the fuck are you talking about?
two wrongs don’t make a right.
