Iran issues fatwa against Donald Trump: "Enemy of God"
(www.newsweek.com)
He's not wrong
So he’s the enemy of god? But maga says he’s the second coming of Jesus and doing the lords work? Same Old Testament thinking too
Religion is about control
Yup, and always has been. Came to this conclusion when I was young and I cannot see it any other way.
Jesus said very specifically to feed, clothe, and house people in need, and that even letting the poor live on your property and eat your food isn't enough to keep you out of hell if you don't actually keep them safe and fed enough. He REALLY insisted, he talked about prisoners rights repeatedly. I've never heard of a single church trying to improve prisoners lives. Not one. Someone did the math and discovered that if every building used for religious worship sponsored two people. Housed two homeless people, there would be no homelessness. That's it. Two people. Now assuming just Christian churches would make those numbers harder, let's go ahead and double that number even though that's impossible because the majority of places of worship are Christian in the US by a lot more than 50%, but let's just pretend it's 4 people a Christian church. That's VERY LITTLE EFFORT that would end all homelessness in America.
Try and build a halfway house anywhere in the US and what happens? Thousands of people suddenly are motivated to show up to town hall meetings and sign petitions!

"Not in my backyard" is a global phenomenon.
Then again, so is "it's a halfway house, not a drunk tank -> it's a drunk tank"
In many countries Mosques allow homeless people to sleep in them , wash themselves and pray there obviously.

'Anointed by God': The Christians who see Trump as their saviour
This timeline.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy
Babe wake up, abrahamic religion is fighting again.
Oh like trump is relgious
Would it be better if he was, though?
If he would take the ten commandments serious, we would be in a very different place.
The same applies to most of high ranking US politicians though. Imagine a world in which the US would not be constantly murdering and robbing people.
The Bible specifically allows killing as an act of war and considers it different from murder. The protagonists of the book also steal stuff all the time.
These commandments are for controlling behavior inside a society, not outside of it.
Trump is a senile and a deeply unserious person. His existence makes me believe that souls might exist because he very much seems like a person without one. He doesn't think about his actions deeply which is why I believe that if he suddenly turned religious, I don't think much would change.
He’s not, but the fundamentalist Christians have decided he’s their hero.
It's weird when two horrible entities in the world hate each other. Is it popcorn time?
Only in the sense that all our heads will start to pop like popcorn when the nukes start flying.
Iran doesn't have nukes and their strategy is quite defensive, rather than aggressive. If there is Nukes flying Israel would toss them first and the US would follow in, because they can't be not throwing bigger bombs than Israel.
More like enemy of men, both of youse
Oh please. And what are you gonna do about it? Dare you. Double dog dare you!
I mean, really lol go ahead
It's unclear how Khamenei will navigate the crisis his regime faces but as his credibility collapses
Propaganda. How is his credibility collapsing?
Without checking the context, Iran and their proxies got hit a bunch and turned the other cheek, so in the game theoretic sense, yes, none of their threats will be credible now.
The conventional smart move would have been to start gradually blowing Isreali and American stuff up the moment Hazbollah was attacked. It sounds they might actually have some kind of twisted, theocratic idealism that got in the way of that.
I don’t necessarily vibe with the processes to reach the declaration nor do I reflexively support the orator, but I can’t say I disagree
Here's a comprehensive list why killing the orange Shitgibbon is a bad idea:

I didn’t disparage, there was no disparage!
He is the enemy of literally everyone, so, I guess God is also on that list 😂
This will be fun to watch over the next few years.
Nothing is gonna happen. “Terrorists” like killing kids, not actual difficult targets.
he works for the devil into bringing people into his fold, so yes he as an enemy of humans, angels and god.
Great Kreator song
Trump: Putting the "fat" in "fatwa" since 1946.
Is this the Muslim equivalent of calling someone the Antichrist?
Finally.

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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.
