Muslim and conservative are for me the same thing.

In the United States Muslims swing left, Jews swing either way, most Christians swing hard right, Catholics tend to swing more right than left, Hindus tend to swing right more often than left, Buddhists swing left, and a good majority of Lutherans swing left. 

In my opinion all five major religions, save Buddhism, have all become increasingly conservative (that’s one of the main reasons I left, socialists/anarchists don’t get along well with the Catholic Church). In America most of the far right is made up of Christians, though I will conclude that minority religions contribute quite a bit to the far left.

I don’t think you can religious and truly free. I think the world would be better off without religion, though I wouldn’t take people’s rights to worship away. I will argue against it heavily, but people have the right to believe in a higher power.

I think the problem is with people predenting to be releagous and that they know everything about this religion so they can't be argued , that's what make some people hate to being stuck to any religion cuz of these people , but if u understand well this religion and deeply read about it from different people with different point of views i think you'll change your mind a bit or at least make a fair opinion of what this religion is truly about

Interestingly here it mostly seems to be all the same: right, hard right, harder right etc :p In things like surveys, a scarily large group of Muslims and Christians (although less of them than years ago, apart from the way too Christian towns like the one I live in) and so on generally show they are rather strongly in favour of having no equal rights for people who fall outside their strict 'moral beliefs'. A frightingly large number answers questions like "How bad is it when people are attacked for being gay?" with answers on the scale of "Too bad, but they shouldn't be gay then". I don't know how the groups tend to stand on economical issues, that's a bit less investigated :p

Of course depends of the country, here the muslims are practically all conservatives and that is what i see of them all over the world, it isnt a "bad thing" at all, like all things, its has the good and bad aspects.

are you considerer socialist?, is something shocking coming from somebody of USA, on the other hand, is a good thing of you the tolerance for religious people, for me the problem is not the religio, is the fanatism (in everything).

Bernie Sanders got 13 million votes in the primaries of 2016 and the total electors in the final vote was 127 million. That's a good 10% of the people voting "socialist", as you would say.

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
