Let’s see....A hero in these times would be—someone who had the power to make every man woman and child on earth stop their labors at dusk. And within a short walk gather together every evening with a stick and a potato .

Each must help build a fire, cook their potato and talk. Start by talking about their day. And go on from there. No one left out. Ever. Each and every.

Call the superhero “Fire Man” or “FireWoman” as the case may be. They’d be carrying a flint and steel and a bag of popcorn.

edit: good morning, friends. Love to see you round the the fire.

Mad max, star trek or super heros?

by Jayk in

some say or future, is going to be like the movie mad max.

other say it will be like star trek.

but if the comic books are correct we're about to see the first generation of super heros and i'm convince one is donald trump;).

Clue me in. Are you joking?

Mad Max is fiction, hero in a wild film, But he put his life on the line. Pretty raw.

You said you are convinced Trump is a super hero. You should make the case for why he is or isn’t.

Trump has an entourage, secret service, his own jet and started out with his piggy bank full of cash. He is president. He is doing a job with a lot of help. He has time to watch TV snd play golf.

l could be missing something here. What is he doing that is heroic?

Austria Begins Closing Mosques and Deporting Imams

by cofty in

austria, a member of the eu since 1995, is a country of 8.8 million people with a muslim population of around 600,000 mostly turkish immigrants.

in 2015 it passed an 'islam law' prohibiting foreign funding of religious groups and creating a duty for muslim organisations to have 'a positive fundamental view towards state and society'.. many mosques in austria have continued to receive money from turkish muslim organisations so the new right-wing government have decided to enforce the law.

seven mosques have been identified for closure and 60 imams are to be either deported or refused visas.

I sympathize with your sensibilities, slimboyfat. Your observations on the normal Turkish people are not to be argued with. But the problem when one is unfamiliar with the history of Islam’s evolution over these hundreds of years we are ignorant of the fears moderate progressive Muslims have of the salafists and Wahabis.

These radical and often violent interpretations of Islam are infiltrating the former safe havens of western countries. The pressures these radical views have built over the decades is a worry beyond the young educated Muslims (they frequently wish to leave Islam) who are threatened by a strict interpretation of sharia . It has raised concerns in that the assimilation that would have been healthy has not happened as well as it needed to to prevent insularity and separation to grow.

The outside funding of mosques and the suppliers of radical clerics have increased the unease between Muslim communities and the surrounding populations. Coupled with these issues are the decades in which authorities failed to address the ignorant and twisted subset of Pakistani rape grooming gangs preying primarily upon poor non-Muslim girls. ..There has finally been outrage and the realization that laws must tighten up to maintain the host countries’ ability to maintain customersry standards of safety for all.

This past week there were several videos posted with interviews and discussions with U.K. Muslims and town halls where there were frank divisions between Muslims themselves concerning their religion.

Not least is the need to protect Muslims citizens who are struggling under the oppressive form of Islam in their host countries, within their own families.

If there were no physical danger maybe we could bear another odd religion. But this is much worse than the Watchtower. The problems have been growing.

Law is better than violence. The idea is not to close all mosques. The intolerance should only be for the violent extreme Islam. There really are differences, SBF.
