@signsofthelast @thinker_q890 @freemonotheist So we don’t know, but we do know?

@thinker_q890 @freemonotheist We don’t know who’ll enter Paradise, Muslims don’t know themselves Earning anything great is hard in dis world n so is Paradise We pray 4 it 2 make it easy but Allah is d only 1 who can decide who’ll go Paradise But it’s confirmed those who make partners with Allah won’t enter

Whoever seeks a way other than Islam, it will never be accepted from them, and in the Hereafter they will be among the losers. ~ Qur'an 3:85

@RafikKhurram @freemonotheist What about the poor people who lived before 610 CE?

@MARKBARNHART1 @freemonotheist Unlike other religions?

@freemonotheist Definitely revealed by a man and not God.

@karmaisthelaw @freemonotheist I’m an atheist, but this statement is not hateful. It’s simply saying Islam is the true way to God, and not others. Christianity and Judaism have similar passages.

@freemonotheist Your hatred towards others starts from here

Noam Chomsky explaining why Palestine has so little support.

@Mr_Andrew_Fox I think you’re confusing support for Gaza for support of Hamas. The two things are not the same, just as someone could love Israel but not approve of its policies (e.g. maybe they consider international law to be something of value).

OK, time to ‘fess up. I shared this as an experiment. If you have some eyewash handy to cleanse your eyeballs afterwards, have a read of the comments. The pro-Hamas mob simply cannot face the fact their side are sexual abusers and rapists. At this point, that fact is beyond reasonable doubt. We have countless, corroborated witness testimonies; we have multiple independent reports. Yes, they haven’t released actual video of someone being held down and raped; which seems to be the standard of proof that the Owen Joneses of this world are demanding - but there’s easily enough evidence out there at this point to convict in a court of law. So why can’t they accept that Hamas are rapists? Some theories, see if you agree: 1) Cognitive dissonance. This is the psychological discomfort experienced when holding two or more conflicting beliefs, values, or attitudes simultaneously. They *know* they’re the good guys. Leftist politics is intimately tied to moral judgments (support us = morally good, any other position = morally bad). Hamas being rapists fundamentally challenges their entire view of the world. The cognitive dissonance is overwhelming for them. 2) The backfire effect. This is closely linked to 1). It occurs when individuals confronted with evidence that contradicts their beliefs not only reject the evidence but also strengthen their original beliefs. This reaction is often driven by the desire to maintain cognitive consistency and protect one’s worldview. 3) Disinformation and The Bot Army. Hamas and their backers know that their lads having gone on a sexual abuse spree isn’t great PR. They know western societies broadly care quite deeply about violence against women/girls and the evidence of rape might be enough to lessen support for them. Look at the handles and dates of account creation of a lot of the replies: anon accounts made very recently, sharing riffs on the same message. All of these are bot warning signs. This sea of fake accounts descend on every single post talking about the fact Hamas are rapists, citing the “counter-evidence” planted in the western media by bought Hamas sympathisers and their fellow travellers. Their aim is to throw around enough doubt that it eases the cognitive dissonance of their supporters in the West. 4) The broadly terrible level of knowledge and education about this conflict. Far, far too many people have taken staunch views on Hamas based upon nothing more than what they’ve seen on social media. One of the replies to the post below was amazing: outrage that “Israel has started using the lion as a symbol”. Nuclear-level ignorance. That’s often why replies seem so often mind-numbingly stupid: people take deeply held, impassioned positions, based on no more knowledge than social media versions of events which were designed to manipulate them in the first place. Watch the bots descend in the replies to this, too.

One of my biggest regrets in life is that I enabled @facebook two-factor authentication. If I could only go back in time 😢

The Royal Family should be subscription only. Those who want to follow their wacky antics and family dramas can pay the hefty bill for it all. The rest of us get to live in blissful ignorance of the national soap opera and maybe those taxes can be used for something useful.

@AncestryUK - I use Chrome, and as of a few weeks ago, I get some weird results on Ancestry. In particular, the images that accompany records on a profile page vanish soon after the page loads. Have tried clearly cookies and cached images. Looks like a JavaScript problem to me.

🚨Our new report released with @WarOnWant and @CAATuk reveals that @BarclaysUK has substantially INCREASED its financing of companies arming Israel’s genocide. We must take action. Join the #BoycottBarclays campaign: palestinecampaign.org/boycott-barcla…

@BrianSPotter @Sonos This!

@Sonos Need the music library back or it's pretty useless for me - the whole reason I invested many years ago was for access to my music on one system

We're happy to announce that sleep timers are back in the Sonos app. Now available in versions 80.02.04 for iOS and 80.02.07 for Android. Please see our software release notes for more information on the latest updates and available features: bit.ly/4aTAP9H

@Sonos How about adding access to our own music libraries now eh? Perhaps that should be your next priority!

@theGrit_music @_HenryBolton @martynjlane You forgot First Past the Post.

Despite the result of #GE2019 the nation is deeply dissatisfied with the state of British politics. What's gone wrong? Why do so many people feel disenfranchised? Why's trust been lost & the nation left divided in so many ways? 'What a State! is out now amazon.co.uk/What-State-Hen…

@THELA44253326 @implausibleblog @LSRPlaid OK, well thanks for explaining the comment.

Liz Saville-Roberts, "People will look at this time and think it's frankly ridiculous that we've shut down our trading relationships with our nearest neighbours " #BBCQT @LSRPlaid "Plaid Cymru, yes, we want to rejoin the EU Single Market and the Customs Union" "The Mayor of London has commissioned a report which pust the cost to the economy at £140 billion less, because of Brexit. Surely if this election is about the economy, and the cost of living, there is a duty on Labour and the Tories to face up to the fact that we are doing ourselves untold damage with Brexit"

@THELA44253326 @implausibleblog @LSRPlaid Ah! I geddit. You’re mad.

@kammer @implausibleblog @LSRPlaid you been in a dark room for five years? best you stay there.

@THELA44253326 @implausibleblog @LSRPlaid Care to elaborate?

@implausibleblog @LSRPlaid people will lok at the genocidal cover up instructed by these people, not if we can get a short queue on holiday .

@LycamobileUK - Your customer service is appalling! I've been a customer for about 2 days, and I'm about ready to leave now. Terrible!
