Business Insider reported Ahmad Massoud has hired a couple of DC lobbyists to try and continue getting military and financial aid. Do you think this will go anywhere?

2021-09-16 23:00:48 +0000 UTCI have an 8 year old raised secular and he's starting to ponder existential questions in life now and is completely terrified about the idea that everything is temporary and had been expressing to me how much he wanted ideas like heaven or angels or god to be real. I do not want to lie to him just so he would feel better, but it breaks my heart to see how scary the idea is for him at the time and i can see how religion offers parents and children comfort when wrestling with existential questions... that said, what are some ways to respond when he tearfully asks if I would "always" be with him now and whatever comes next?

2021-09-16 20:05:08 +0000 UTCWhat are your thoughts on 'The Sealed Nectar', which is called the biography of Muhammad, as a credible source for showing what he and his companions were like (ie story of Umm Qirfa), bearing in mind it was published somewhat recently?

2021-09-16 18:26:16 +0000 UTCFor the sake of argument - since you've had Blasphemous Art made of Jordan Peterson, seemingly blindly revered by political conservatives, would you consider making one of Greta Thunberg, who seems blindly revered by the political Left?

2021-09-16 18:09:10 +0000 UTCWhen I asked one of my previous questions about the fates of the individuals who came up with so-called "Muslim" inventions like the fork and algebra, the reasoning was because I heard that the inventor of the fork (for example) was punished and put to death. What do you think of this? (Note - allegedly the fork was invented much earlier, around the time of ancient China/Greece!)

2021-09-16 18:07:15 +0000 UTCI'd like to add that I support the law, if the speech specifically directly calls for violence against as specific person or group

2021-09-16 10:19:44 +0000 UTCYou'll need to do some light reading for this one: https://bit.ly/3ltlkxx In Victoria Australia, we have an anti vilification law, which came into affect in 2019 and which was just amended to include symbols of hate such as the 'low melanoma' symbol. The Labor Government has also extend the state’s anti-vilification protections beyond race and religion to cover areas such as sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, and HIV/AIDS status. To help people subjected to vilification seek justice through the courts, the Government will make civil and criminal vilification easier to prove. What are you thoughts on this? For me, I feel that it greatly impacts free speech. I might not agree with the speech said against me or others, but I don't want to live in a bubble either. I also think, this will cause animosity towards the LGBTI community. further state parliamentary info if you're interested for a possible news story https://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/lsic-la/inquiries/inquiry/982
