No idea why I defend him, I've not watched a full one since the Jimmy Carr one. He did my head on that one tbf.

Only ever watch the shorts on YouTube nowadays if they appear. That Michelle Thallon looked pretty interesting recently.

There's a brilliant podcast called the skeptics guide to the universe if you're into that kind of thing. All sorts of science - not just astronomy. But they are MAJOR fact checkers! 😁

Right wing terrorist nutters this time. Again, wish we could arrange a “terrorist nutter get together” where right/left or Muslim/jew/christian, in fact any militant extremist, could all meet and either shoot each other or blow themselves up.

Leave the rest of us to coexist and get on with normal lives.

Saw a video of some lads attacking a migrant in Bolton today. Apparently the lad had tried something on with a kid the day before.

Was an uncomfortable watch tbh.

All symptoms of the same thing sadly.

It's only going to get worse.

Thought I'd have a go.

It reckons civil unrest is still highly likely, and there are many problems.

Reckons civil war is unlikely- which it is-and quotes a particular professor.

It also sites "far right" folk ramping things up.

It doesn't mention the other experts who I've referred to for example.

Their balanced, evidence based analysis, which sites the risk as at a high level.

What so many seem to struggle with is "High risk" doesn't mean immediate or near future severe country wide violence and societal breakdown.

It means that we aren't in as good a place as we should be, and ignoring the signs just pushes us that bit closer.

Bit like climate change.

Some say it's real and some deny it.

Science will provide evidence, some of which will be refuted.

Alternatively, folk can go outside and witness for themselves where things aren't going right.

Or you can just watch GBNews and parrot everything they say, like you do.

I wonder why these type of events are allowed to be held over here?

Wouldn't argue with that; main problem though is that the Islamic ones want to get rid of everyone else.

On this separate point, I don’t know anything about the Ijtema event, other than Google AI. Not for me, but sounds harmless. As always I’d trust UK authorities to ban it if was a cover for nefarious activities.

Ijtima events allow followers to "reform and strengthen" their efforts in "conveying the message of Islam to all of humanity". The festival of 15,000 people was promoted as being an "opportunity for reflection and spiritual renewal" and a "historic gathering

Unfortunately, I wouldn't trust our governments to ban it.

IRGC is apparently, finally, going to be proscribed.

We have a history of being soft on dodgy groups, and individuals associated with them.

As above, some gulf states are far more proactive in dealing with these groups.

It's not that it's too extreme to be allowed in Saudi Arabia. It's that there's a doctrine clash, and it isn't rooted in the wahhabiism which is imposed by the state.

It still takes place in the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Bangladesh, the UK, most of Europe and the US.

Q - is christmas banned anywhere in the world

Ans - Yes, Christmas is banned or strictly restricted in several countries, primarily due to religious laws, political ideologies, or security concerns. In these nations, public celebrations, decorations, and gatherings are outlawed, and violators can face severe consequences

The countries that have banned or heavily restricted Christmas include:

• Saudi Arabia: The kingdom does not recognize Christmas as a public holiday. Although the strictness of enforcement has eased slightly, public celebrations, decorations, and non-Islamic religious services are generally prohibited. [1]

• Somalia: The government completely banned Christmas in 2015, warning that public festivities threaten the country's Islamic beliefs and could incite attacks from extremist groups

• Brunei: Public celebrations of Christmas are illegal under strict Sharia laws. While non-Muslims are permitted to celebrate discreetly in private, public displays of tinsel, songs, or Santa costumes can result in significant fines or imprisonment

Miami often spoke of the problems around wahabism [sic?] and the House of Saud when it came to global issues. I'd not be taking Saudi Arabia's banning of anything as a reason to ban it here.

And banned in many countries in Central Asia.

• In Central Asian states such as Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, governments have viewed it as promoting a form of religious activism they consider extremist or a threat to state control of religion.

• Russia classifies it as extremist under its domestic law.

• Saudi Arabia’s criticism stems largely from its religious establishment’s opposition to the movement’s teachings and concerns about unauthorized preaching, rather than allegations that the organization itself engages in terrorism.

So basically it’s banned by authoritarian / dictatorship regimes. Not necessarily something to aspire to.
