    There was an explosion at a school in Pakistan: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/oct/27/pakistan-blast-at-seminary-in-peshawar-kills-injured

    ...

    Expect a lot of these attacks in border region with Afghanistan ( there were was a smaller one days before ) bcz of the transaction of power and deals happening with US pulling out some or all troops. The guy whose school was attacked was a strong critic of ISIS and some Afghan groups. 

    Afghanistan is pretty much like Bosnia there are so many ethnicity and sects. All striving for power they've had like 16-18 different national flags and anthem since the formation of the modern republic, when one faction within an ethnicity came to power they changed the flag according to their thing. And it being a mineral rich place makes it even more of a hotspot. 

    And ffs Pakistan isn't in Middle East :coffee:

    Theoreticaly, you can. But most naturally ocurring whirlpools in the rivers are way too small and have way too little power to be a viable large-scale solution, nevermind other potential issues such as freezing water in winter, debris, trash, etc. The big powerful ones in the oceans have the same issues as other existing marine technology, namely expensive and difficult installation, high maintenance and repair costs, challenges related to the bottom surface, gravel, sand, salt, corrosion, debris etc. Whirlpools in oceans are also highly dependent on the tides, so it's not a very stable source either.

    Can't they train whales to spin the turbines like they do with bulls in farming ?

    ...meanwhile, the Pakistani government is joining much of the Islamic world's governments in being outraged about cartoons being projected onto buildings in France.

    And don't get me wrong, I think trolling Islamic extremists is giving into their idea that there is a culture war between Muslims & non-Muslims - which sort of serves to prove their propaganda right. And maybe resorting to an official government stance of trolling isn't the smartest thing to do - but I do think that France has been dealing with this bullshit for long enough and it's understandable that so many citizens and the government would have a really emotional response to this happening AGAIN in France - but this time in a pandemic.

    Sort of boggles my mind how many official government statements have denounced how France has reacted as though the biggest victim out of recent events isn't the man who very literally lost his head.

    The tension with French government were already spiked when Macron made some remarks about Islam/Muslim World being in crisis prior to these events ( which is ironic since he's supporting a lot of MENA tinpot dictators warlords who create these crisis )

    I agree with what you said it's only serving to the agenda of us vs them. Personally i see Macron as a dickhead in all this. The likes of Erdogan are cashing on it.

    And trolling at governmental level has also brought an emotional response from Muslim community, they again as a whole community have to be apologetic/targetted about that one fucked up guys act.

    I can only see future generations suffer because of this.
