Look further into how Muslims “expelled” Jews out the middle East and you’ll find Israel giving governments money to kick out their Jewish community and they get to keep everything, when that didn’t initially work in Iraq, Israel sent death squads into Iraq to attack Jewish communities
Your not wrong is the Pakistani interference but that doesn’t remotely change the fact that the mujahedeen whos direct successors were funded by America, bin laden as you say was a middle man between Saudi and and America for money yet to claim it’s more due to Pakistan? Every lead goes back to America and American funding and American ideology, Pakistans funding of Afghani extremist is in line with us doctrine for the region even when Afghanistan had a democratic leader and a functional military it chose not to support them and instead radicals from the countryside
But you are absolutely right about Saudis funding extremism, wanna guess who propped up the tiny little emirate of Saud into controlling most of the Arabian peninsula? Or how the saud leadership who funded this were directly couped in by America against the former Saudi leader? As a former Muslim I’m fully aware of how evil the Arabian peninsula states are and how fucked Pakistan became under Zia al huq, but that doesn’t even remotely change the fact that the leader of all of this was still America and it’s idealistic Monroe doctrine
I mean the Taliban literally are born out of the US funding of mujahedeen Extremists. Afghanistan while clan based had a solid leader in the 70s
First of of all 1970s isn’t when america, Britian or Russia were occupying Afghanistan, it was free and had a democratic leader. Todays Taliban while the new leaders aren’t free from influence of america. The Taliban are the offshoots/successors of the mujahedeen a fundamentalist and extremist organization funded by America to fight against Russia who then afterwards were so funded in comparison to the rest of Afghanistan that they took power. But if you couldn’t understand these basic facts how am I going to explain to you internal political pressure that comes with tourism, money flowing and educated people returning to a regime and their ideals. I don’t support the Taliban but I support they are the current free leaders of Afghanistan and somehow they are leading better than “free world” that funded these extreme bigots stopping girls from going schools and the massive drug fields
Too late for that jackass, peace comes when Israel is dismantled and you Zionist are scattered to the wind. You don’t give a shit about Jews, if you did youd know countless Jews abroad are against Israel
Tourism is currently booming, people are coming back to Afghanistan and that alone is a massive change, it’s restructuring what it is decades of drug trafficking for finance to tourism for finance. My friend no offense, but I don’t think you know anything about Afghanistan bar what is said on some major corporate media conglomeration owned by Peter thiel or some shit
Id argue it’s gonna be much better than when america and NATO came to “civilize” them, or the russians came before that or the Brits came even before that. Afghanistan requires Change, but real change happens within, by the people, not fucking “white saviours”
By dressing in islamic clothing and modesty is considered extreme to you? Are you okay?
Define how a head covering is religious extremism, are nuns also extremists? Is the dali lama, the pope all religion extremists too? Did your brain leak out your head?
Absolute facts, men are often ignored in this situation, were expected to be strong and handle everything by ourselves like we aren’t humans, someone’s child tryna figure what to do in life. The real enemy of the world is the class war and if we could realise that wed realise we are the 99%
5 miles away from spawn point, the furthest I’ve lived is 300 miles away but in the same nation, my spawn city is absolutely home to me, even if not ethnically from here, I am very privileged to be born here

More like the AFD’s new arm
It’s definetly a flawed methodology. It implies the certain qualities have the same importance to cultures worldwide. I’m born in Scotland but ethnically Punjabi. I go pakistan and i see extreme poverty and struggle, yet I speak and live with people of different classes and it’s often those who are poor but with community who are happiest (something similar applies to many nations I’ve been) not to say wealth wouldn’t make them happier or live longer, but our current capitalist system is a disease that very very few nations were able to effectively control so that the society benefits (gulf Arabs, Singapore and Nordics) but generally wealth doesn’t make a nation happier unless it’s somewhat fairly distributed
If you didn’t put Israel in top ten, it would be considered anti Semitic
The boy slowly moves his head closer to the Dalai Lama’s but appears only to touch his forehead before withdrawing.
First nuance of what you insisted happened that it… Didn’t actually happen
In Tibet, sticking out one’s tongue is known as a traditional greeting, stemming from a 9th-century myth about an unpopular king with a black tongue.
Second nuance that its ABSOLUTELY a pedophilic thing to do… It wasn’t and again, it didn’t happen.
From the same article you just linked. You really aren’t proving your case well and instead flalling and getting emotional. You need to touch some grass and maybe read the articles or up on whatever you’re blathering about?
I can’t be bothered finding any more articles, but I’m looking at how the thread is going and its not currently in your favour, let’s stop it here
You’re far too kind my friends, I’m glad I can be of any help and I truly believe in the importance of sharing knowledge, I hope you found it interesting and you need any good books or recommendations, DM me!
I wish you all the best my friend, I also hope you are happy and well 😁
P.s you are the most wholesome person I’ve talked to online Reddit/Lemmy in years
You sure this is the hill you want to die on? Defending a religious leader who has already admitted to pedophilic behavior?
Buddy it seems like between the two of us. You’re the one out of sources. You’re really digging into this one thing. Is that all you have and yet have the gall to talk about a hill to die on?
I’m not defending the dali liama, but i am saying you lack any Nuance or any knowledge on the topic and this conversation is proof of that.
Would it be minor if it was your child? It’s absolutely atrocious, and unacceptable no matter where you reside on the planet.
Not everybody on earth acts like a European/American. Believe it or not, not every culture Is as sex obsessed. You can be hugged and kissed by people you share absolutely no blood to in many Asian cultures (coming from an Asian) and the nuances are long and varied, longer than I can be bothered to write but it you had any willingness to learn, you would and could, but that’s asking too much.
So I ask again, you say pedophilic behaviour, a pedo is someone who is sexually attracted to kids. I’ll ask again, did the Dali liama fuck a child or say publically he wants to fuck children? Even on Lemmy it seems critical debate is a dying breed
Worse than systematic rape within the Catholic church? No offence but I remember this situation and is this all you have? I follow the law of atleast three instances before thinking about patterns (unless the previous 2 are atrocious) this wasn’t atrocious, this is silly and weird but also this is fucking Tibet not london. White ignorant ass making wild assumptions over seemingly minor stuff
Even in September 2025 your still saying shit like this? Kamala, Biden, Obama are the same establishment as trump, Bush and Reagan. You have to genuinely stupid if you think Kamala would have ended the genocide and saved Ukraine
