Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

You can read it yourself and it's obvious.
Yeah industrial waste is bad, good point! Dude still subscribes to ideology that sees women executed for learning to read. Anyone who doesn't agree with his worldview is a "disbeliever" and an acceptable target for murder.
These are the insane ramblings of someone with zero ability to empathize with others or think critically about their beliefs. He believes in nonsense. Prophets on prophets until Mohammed came along and said "god is all powerful but I am the last prophet and there can be no prophets after me." Hmm, guess God isn't all powerful and the whole thing is a crock of shit then.
OBL was a typical Republican.
I was more trying to highlight the weirdness of feeling at the time that there was a wall of ultra-jingoistic nationalism in the wake of a huge tragedy (cf. the Dixie Chicks getting cancelled for not liking Dubya Bush), and then some people reading Bin Laden's work and trying to have a level headed conversation about the causes, impacts and diplomacy going forward in the face of "Saudi operatives attacked us, let's bomb Afghanistan(?!)"
It's a mad world.
