Women, gays and infidels are pubished by Houthi police.

- inglor_cz 5d agoIIRC their official slogan has literally "Curse the Jews" in it.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 5d agoYep https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarkha https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarkha > "God is great, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam"
- mrala 5d agoThis is also mentioned in the article that you linked: > In April 2016, during UN-brokered peace talks in Kuwait, Houthi representatives gave the United States a "sincere apology" for the "Death to America" slogan, claiming that the slogan was used for "domestic consumption as a means to attract support in the streets and create a common cause between their supporters to keep them united." > During the Red Sea crisis, Houthi supporters waved the flag of Palestine every Friday during anti-Gaza genocide and anti-western attacks on Yemen demonstrations, alongside the slogan and flag of Yemen. A new Houthi slogan appeared after the group's re-designation as a terrorist organisation: "America is the mother of terrorism" set on a red background.
- tptacek 5d agoThey did that just as they began the starvation siege of Taiz.
- fwip 5d ago> A new Houthi slogan appeared after the group's re-designation as a terrorist organisation: "America is the mother of terrorism" set on a red background. Well, they're not wrong.
- inglor_cz 5d agoThey are wrong. Muhammad's terror campaigns predate the US by more than a thousand years.
- bigyabai 4d ago"is the mother", not "was the mother" If you take this all the way back to ancient history, nobody will be happy with the examples we drum up.
- inglor_cz 4d agoI agree with you, but that also means that no one can claim to be a parent of terrorism. It is just one long series of bastards from the eve of civilization up.
- fwip 4d agoCalling Muhammad a terrorist is really a special amount of Islamophobia.
- inglor_cz 4d agoFreedom of religion is also freedom from religion and a right to be disgusted by particular religious figures. No one owes even an ounce of respect to any bearded prophet out there, this is literally the essence of a liberal society: the very absence of blasphemy (that you recast as "Islamophobia", same thing under a different name, only sounds more modern) as a concept. Muhammad had between 400 and 900 POWs of the Banu Quraish tribe beheaded. Not calling this terrorism means twisting the very meaning of terrorism into pretzels.

- tkel 5d agoKind of a good example on why conflating Judaism with Zionism leads to anti-semitism.
- lenkite 5d ago> Women, gays and infidels are pubished by Houthi police. The EU & US don't have ANY issues supporting and financing governments that punish gays and infidels. Hint: New Syrian government, Saudi government (which is also famous for publicly beheading gays) So why not accept the Houthis too ? Otherwise, my apologies, your stance just sounds like the usual disgusting Western sanctimonious hypocrisy.
- saxonww 5d agoWhat would you expect instead? I think the US supports the Saudis because they are the primary competitor to Iran in the middle east. But no one (?) in the middle east has great support for women, gays, or infidels. I think you're right that strategic / economic interests have outweighed cultural issues / human rights.
- kelipso 5d agoStrategic / economic interests have always outweighed cultural issues / human rights. The women, gays, infidel line is purely to get political support or deflect political criticism from a portion of the population.
- hn993302 5d agoI remember hearing from leftwing media how Kurdish fighters are feminists and LGBT-friendly. Look I have nothing for or against them, but lol.
