She takes up too much space. Also she's mad. Which has nothing to do with anything. She lives in her own world because she makes the whole world hers.

Get off of here, you wanker. You're on the wrong part of the fediverse. You're way, way off.

I'm probably late to the party re Trudeau on Spinster. He must resign. I'M already thinking of him as history. How will history remember him? There is a French expression
Se faire un prenom.
Loosely, making his own name - since he already has his family name.
Did he achieve this?
I guess getting us through COVID was his baby.
G7? Maybe?

Expect for Finland, right? The only country to have fought Russia and not fallen to communism! Yeah! You go! 💪

Thanks for what you do. Since I've followed you, I've enjoyed your daily art posts. It's a relaxing break as the topics here can be so heavy.

The big push was on in the 70s for Canadian kids to enter French Immersion so we Canadians have that "advantage." However, when I went to Paris, they would just answer me in English! As if they were saying, thank you for trying but really - for everyone's sake - let's just use English. 😃

So, what language would you recommend to an English only? What would be similar?

And it could be that the categories we are working with are just too crude.
Moderate/Extremists.
One ex-Muslim, Ayasn Hirsi Ali, divides Muslims into three major groups:
Medina Muslims, Mecca Muslims, and dissidents. In order to explain her reasoning she goes into a bit of the history concerning the origins of Islam. In his younger years, while he lived in Mecca, Mohammed wrote the more peaceful verses of Qur’an. Later, after settling in Medina, Mohammed became a powerful warlord type person and the verses he wrote during this period are the more violent ones. The Medina period is where the concept of jihad originated along with the verses that dictate sharia law and harsh discipline. The majority of practicing Muslims are peaceful Mecca Muslims but most of the terrorism originates with the Medina Muslims. Long ago theologians, noticing contradictions within the Qur’an, created the doctrine of “abrogation” which says that when verses are contradictory later verses negate the earlier verses. Hirsi Ali’s categories make it clear that jihadists are not simply misguided souls who have fallen under the influence of those who would “hi-jack” the “religion of peace”; rather they are believers who are fully supported by a long established Islamic doctrine.

Clearly, there is a great deal for me to learn.

I think I finally made up my mind. The original question was what is a moderate Muslim.
There are extremists.
Are there people actually working on reform? I'm ignorant here. Will find out more.
There are no moderates. Those that say they just want to live in peace without any challenge to Islam... are not moderates. The term has no meaning. You can't just leave alone treatment of women, the Koran and say I'm moderate.
This really changes some of my thinking re Christianity. I was clinging to it but can let it go. Now.

Turkey claims to be secular, but its penal code prohibits insulting religious belief. Citizens must feel obstructed in their freedom of religion (any or none) and expression.

It doesn't matter much to me if there are some moderate Muslims.
The numbers are still very high in favour of death for apostasy - even in a modern country like Egypt. I reckon if you can apostasize into a religion, you should be able to apostasize out. Judaism and Christianity has been squeezed through modernity. We no longer believe in "an eye for an eye." Islam does not. As you know, punishments such as amputations and death are administered today. Such literal thinking. Such cruel and unusual punishment. And the goal of global domination persists. Our God is the God.
Muslims in the West and Hanlon's razor? Could be a bad idea, I worry. You might even know Muslims, who are very genial, but... who would demand your conversion if those circumstances arose (again.) What would evil or stupid matter then?
(Muslim women, held back from education can't even string together an argument against this. They never learned how.)

Well, there was a problem from the outset. I think the last resort issue should have been legislated or mandated or something from the outset.
Then, more and more safeguards are being eliminated based on Charter challenges.
It's turning into a proper nightmare.
Anyone from the Netherlands here have anything to add? I'd love to hear it from the horse's mouth.
