This could potentially derail the US-Iran nuclear deal; rumors of which in turn were helping lower oil futures."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Another spinoff incident: JK Rowling posted a word of support for Rushdie on Twitter, and a user responded that she is "next". (This appears to have been a Muslim user, so this threat is almost certainly related to her support for Rushdie, not her well-documented criticism of transgenderism). Rowling reported the threat to Twitter, but Twitter informed her that it did not violate their ToS. (After she publicized this, Twitter eventually relented and banned the account that threatened her, and Scotland Yard is interested in the threat as well.)

Maybe a little common sense should be exercised in deciding which books should be subjected to censorship.
Actually, this post isn't in the right place. I'll put a copy elsewhere.Last edited by tabibito; 08-17-2022, 01:45 PM.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.
