Had scientists, hunters, athletes etc who were really good.The ones with comedians were shite because for a supposed comedian he is just one unfunny fuckerHowever the pivot since Covid is evident . He’s turned into a huge cunt and allows folk like this prick to just spout shite unchallenged. It’s no coincidence that he said Musk set this up.Fuck him, franklyNot a lot to disagree with there tbf. 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.

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".

July 15Jul 15 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 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.

In these nations, public celebrations, decorations, and gatherings are outlawed, and violators can face severe consequencesThe 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 groupsBrunei: 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 imprisonmentis christmas banned anywhere in the world - Google Search
July 15Jul 15 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.

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.
