I'm not a quiet fan of contemporary Architecture, however this mesmerising futuristic looking modern building in KSA is an exemption.

What's happening right now is pretty normal. The only issue is in todays circumstances, many people are settled in urban areas, and will increase so in the coming years.
In the past, when climate change happened and started to sink land, people moved with the weather and land. However, we're trapped.
How are we going to move billions of people from population-intense regions? We can't. This is the real issue.
Sure, limit pollution. There's a whole loads of reasons why we should. We are contributing in part, but even if we lower it completely now, climate change will still happen, just less severely. Also, animals are dying because of our waste (eg plastics).
But the notion that humanity is so all-powerful as to try and form the climate of this planetary body as we wish it to be to suit the way we live and where we live in this moment of space and time is bananas.

Attack on churches is unacceptable, it is a barbaric, inhumane and unspeakably EVIL attack, whether it's on Mosque or Church, regardless who commits this hideous terrorist attacks!
I pray that the perpetrators be brought to justice & be given exemplary punishment for their mass killings and desecration of the churches
I extend my grief, sadness, and condolences to Christians and Sri Lankans everywhere. The safety and security of people of all faiths in their places of worship are inviolable in Islam.

Anyone who assert's that Muslims are attempting to infiltrate Canada/West so they can eventually take over and impose their values, and when asked about solution to this conspiracy theory, just say "I don't believe in violence against Muslims" doesn't suddenly make you different from people like the NZ terrorist.
These ideas have only one logical conclusion: mass murder.
No individual sits down with foreign infiltrators to have a tea with them. What the NZ terrorist did was perfectly in line with the ideology he followed.
Having these ideas and simultaneously be condemning the NZ massacre, is the epitome of hypocrisy.

Over the past 20 years in Europe, separatist, right wing and leftist terrorist groups have carried out more terrorist attacks than Muslims. right-wing terrorism in the US is much bigger threat than anything steming from the 1% of the population that is Muslim-American. What happened in New Zealand was not an isolated case. It is about time people wake up and start to hold the media, and those that peddle far-right hatred, to account.

Elliot's (guy 1) sister provides her egg, which is fertilised by Matthew's (guy 2) sperm, then this is placed in the womb of Matthew's mother. This is like how liberals assert killing babies with downs isn't eugenics. This is just incest.

If it were natural to believe in imaginary beings, children wouldn't have to be taught such foolishness. Furthermore, if there were a god, there'd be only one religion.
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said
QuoteNo one is born except upon natural instinct, then his parents turn him into a Jew or Christian or Magian. As an animal produces their young with perfect limbs, do you see anything defective?
In short, every child is born in a state of fiṭrah, a state of innate goodness while the social environment may cause the individual to drift away from this state, which is a state of natural conformity between human nature and Islam (Submission to God). There has been several non-muslim experts in various fields whose conformed childrens innate belief in God, even popular atheist have admitted that.
Now why so many different religions? People form their beliefs on the amount of data that they have at hand due to various limitations such as environments. This why the Prophet (pbuh) made clear that the normative intuition may be used by a child’s parents to foster incorrect beliefs and that Allah had to send Prophets to remind humanity of the truth. Thus, according to Islam, the amount of available data is a necessary condition towards belief formation.
There are so many different theories on politics, economics, morals etc, but you seem perfectly fine inspecting them all and picking the one you think is true. Only when it comes to God, all of a sudden your brain conveniently shuts down.

Wrong. The real world has no gods. Reality is real. Gods are the fallacies of weak minded fools.
In fact if one were to believe that houses and buildings formed on their own, such a person would be called deluded, so how about the universe and life itself? Is it a delusion to believe that we humans have a purpose in life, rather than being the simple chance of biological evolution, with no real purpose in life other than to survive?The reality is that the belief in God is something very natural, innate and rational. Please reflect

What Petrovich believes has no bearing on reality.
The Islamic concept of the fitrah is supported by various psychological, sociological and anthropological evidence as there has been an extensive academic and scientific research exploring children's innate belief in God and of certain universal religious ideas.
Children are born believers in God, academic claims
In summary, to deny God who is self-evident truth is like denying the real world is actually real

human enjoyed morals and ethics long before religions started taking credit for what is an innate human trait
Islamic position also states that God has placed an innate disposition within us to confirm our worth, and to recognise foundational moral truths. This disposition is called the fitrah in Islam. Another reason we can claim ultimate morality is, because God created us with a deep-seated purpose, we have value because the creature of the universe has given us value to have an affinity to recognise God and the truth of our existence.
"Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly" (3:191)
"Indeed in that is a sign for a people who give thought." (16:69)

The point you seem to be obtuse about is human enjoyed morals and ethics long before religions started taking credit for what is an innate human trait. Hell, Chimps and Elephants show more morality and empathy than many religious cults.
The Islamic position states that all animals follow their own set of natural law. In the end it is only our given revelation that allows us to choose which one of our ‘natural’ impulses are good, and which are bad. Atheism on the other hand, cannot produce objective morality, they are conformists, who adopt the morality of their host society as dogmas and mostly without question.

Hero Muslim Schoolboy Saves Classmates Caught up in Bus Hijacking
QuoteWhat should have been a 10-minute bus ride turned into a nightmare, when 51 students and their two teachers were taken hostage on their school bus. The hijacker took away all the teenagers’ phones but one student, 13-year-old Ramy Shehata, managed to hide his.
According to Italian media, Ramy pretended to pray in Arabic while, in fact, he was calling his father to tell him to alert police who then formed a blockade to stop the bus. The hijacker then set the bus on fire and was reported to have said “nobody gets off here alive,” but police were able to get everyone off the bus safely.

While that might be true, ask anyone around you and get them to define 'The West' for you.
So what do we do about extremist right wingers and radical Islam? Right.. nothing aside from posting on the Internet.

When your children come home and tell you that your teacher said it's ok for you to believe you're a girl trapped in a boy's body, this goes well beyond the standard norm of education. It's a complete psychological warfare on innocent children.

Actually, wife and I seriously considered living in KSA half time. My friends there all know I am atheist (or sort of gnostic) and if anyone were to threaten me with prosecution, they would go to the wall for me...for THAT is what is required of them (yes, doctrine is very contradictory). If we didn't have grandkids here, might have pulled the trigger.
Call me when you visit KSA buddy. And trust me, KSA is probably as safe a place as you will get to see. The common denominator amongst western visitors who travel to the country, in all of their reports, KSA is nothing like it is presented in the western media and its people are the most hospitable and welcoming people imaginable.
Hopefully, you will get the chance to verify what I said on your own by visiting the country. cheers!

Surely the Far-right nationalist ilks in here would celebrate this.
Anti-Muslim hate crimes soar in UK after Christchurch shootings
QuoteThe number of anti-Muslim hate crimes reported across Britain increased by 593% in the week after a white supremacist killed worshippers at two New Zealand mosques
95 incidents were reported to the charity between 15 March, the day of the New Zealand atrocity, and midnight on 21 March. Of those, 85 incidents – 89% of the total – contained direct references to the New Zealand attacks and featured gestures such as mimicking firearms being fired at Muslims.
-
The nation wide and global solidarity shown to the victims in NZ has been outstanding, and so was the complete rejection of far-right ideology.

New Zealand is the first Non-Muslim majority country who are honorary member of the Muslim world.

Wignat monkeys stutter in disbelief as their desire to slaughter Muslims to "protect western civilisation" actually results in 100x fold interest in Islam and conversions. The blood of martyrs is not cheap.
They plan, and Allah plans. And Allah is the best of planners. (8:30)

Islam isn't a race or a skin colour.
Typical doublespeak for "Don't condemn me for perceiving innocent Muslims the same as Nazis perceived the Jews"
Yes, Islam is not a race, but if you act like a racist then people would treat you like a racist you really are.

We are only starting to see the beginning of what is going to happen in Canada in say another two more decades. The old Canada that we once knew growing up in is slowly disappearing and being replaced with people from other parts of the world who could careless about moral or decent values or care about our Canadian culture, traditions and heritages. Teflon Don and his old man Trudeau have done such a number on this country that probably it can never be repaired unless something is done about it today, and not wait until tomorrow. The clock is ticking away. Tick-tock, tick-tock.
I'm curious, what do you think of Anglo-American/Canadian converts to Islam? Do you see them as a "problem" as well, in terms of the Islamic values, ethics and morals they've adopted? Where will you deport them to

Islamophobes promote the sentiment that leads to these horrific attacks.
They should be held accountable for their bigoted hate mongering and dehumanizing discourse.
