A young Finnish person reported that British Christian police officer Luke Salmons, 46, won a legal battle against police administration. According to the report, Salmons challenged the claim that Islam is a religion of peace in diversity training and raised questions about jihad, Hamas, and Gaza. He was suspended from work two days after the training, and the police department deemed him guilty of a serious misconduct. Salmons was added to the Police Barred List, which effectively prevented him from working in law enforcement. The young Finnish person wrote that Salmons appealed the decision, and North Yorkshire Chief Constable Tim Forber later determined that it was not a serious misconduct nor a breach of professional standards. Salmons was then removed from the barred list. He subsequently filed a lawsuit for religious discrimination and harassment, as well as for violations of his freedom of religion and speech. North Yorkshire Police settled the matter before it progressed to an employment tribunal, and Salmons received financial compensation from the police. The amount of the settlement was not disclosed in the report. #oikeus #uskonnonvapautta #monimuotoisuus (translated)

Mats Uotila wrote that the EU had a new social climate fund that, according to him, motorists would practically finance while refueling. He mentioned that the fund would pay for, for example, energy renovations for Greeks and said he nearly used an ugly word to describe the situation. https://t.co/BgKQyJ6HMV #ilmasto #EU #sosiaalisuus (translated)

Tuulia Alanko wrote that the imam's statement about Finnish law applying to Muslims did not, in her opinion, answer the question of the status of sharia law nor did it exclude the possibility of considering it important. She described the response as misleading. Alanko claimed that Aw-Musse had not distanced himself from sharia law or the idea of separate sharia courts in Finland. She suggested that this was related to both the imam's role and the fact that messages pleasing to Finns might be beneficial in the long term. According to Alanko, Aw-Musse could have directly stated that he did not want to replace Finnish laws with an Islamic legal system. Alanko finally referred to Jari Sarasvuo's statement that sharia or a parallel culture was not needed in Finland. #Suomi #Islam #Šaria (translated)

We can talk about Russia’s return to global energy markets after the war, but for now, we must stop everything that funds it. Senate Republican Lisa Murkowski urged D. Trump to use these powers instead of allowing Russia to earn more from diesel fuel exports. #RusijosNafta #Ukraina #Kongresas (translated)

Paweł Żuchowski wrote that U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuels in connection with the oil agreement between Washington and Moscow has faced criticism from Democrats and some Republicans. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer accused Trump of making a "deal with the devil" to save his declining political ratings. Republican Congressman Don Bacon expressed hope that Ukraine would continue to destroy Russian diesel production capabilities. He also called on Trump to use the Lindsey Graham Act, which aimed to strengthen sanctions on Russia. Bacon accused the president of providing the dictator with money instead of using sanctions to weaken the Russian war machine while it continues to attack and kill Ukrainian civilians. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski also urged the use of the Graham Act. She stated that discussions about Russia's return to global energy markets should only take place after the war ends, and until then, sources of its funding and supplies should be cut off. Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick announced that he would put a bipartisan bill blocking all purchases of Russian oil to a vote in the House of Representatives. He predicted that it would be passed by an overwhelming majority. Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence wrote on X on Saturday that lifting sanctions in the face of Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilian targets was incomprehensible and constituted a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. He added that the U.S. should not support the Russian war machine. Pence also stated that Vladimir Putin wants to take over Ukraine, and its conquest could lead to Russian forces crossing another border and clashing with American soldiers. He called on Trump to reverse the decision. #Trump #Rosja #Ukraina (translated)

Roy, who described himself as a politically right-leaning former member of the VVD, wrote that he no longer knew who to vote for. He excluded a populist party on the right and even mentioned considering PRO, although that didn't make economic sense and wasn't logical for him personally. According to him, the party members were at least honest and human. Roy wrote that he had previously found Jesse Klaver weak and unconvincing, but that he now made a different impression: Klaver was, in his opinion, substantively strong and seemed to be developing leadership qualities. Roy also stated that Mark Rutte had called for people to look out for one another upon his departure, while the VVD under Dilan Yesilgöz did the opposite according to him. Yesilgöz, according to Roy, had ruined much for her party, although he found her good on Defense and previously on Justice and Security. According to Roy, PRO was precisely a party that paid attention to others. As an example, he mentioned the Self-Podcast by Sander Schimmelpenninck and Jaap Reesema featuring Lisa Westerveld. He claimed Westerveld dedicated herself day and night to underprivileged Dutch citizens. In the podcast, he also heard how demotivating work in the House of Representatives could be: requested debates from Westerveld sometimes did not make it to the agenda, while the right-wing majority preferred to debate asylum again. When a topic made the news, politicians were, in his opinion, always at the front. Roy wrote that the world would be a better place with more people like Westerveld. #politiek #VVD #Nederland (translated)

"The death penalty is unacceptable as it represents an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person," Pope Leo reiterated his condemnation of the death penalty on Saturday, stating that it violates the sanctity of human life and deprives people of the opportunity for redemption, just a few days after the Pentagon announced plans to broadcast an execution live. #PapaLav #SmrtnaKazna #LjudskaPrava (translated)

Tuomo Saarni asked why the public sector was allowed to spend money recklessly without consequences. He urged reading about what the welfare area was ready to pay 170,000 euros for without bidding.

Mikael Lith disputed the claim by Muhis Azizi, the leading figure of the Turku Coalition, that the racism scandals of the True Finns had led to a decline in the support for the Coalition. According to Lith, Azizi strongly supported immigration and wanted the Coalition to ally with the red-green parties to increase it. Lith reminded that Azizi had already described the immigration policies of the government program in 2023 as "unequal" and "discriminatory." https://t.co/s1Hs3RHY2I #politiikka #maahanmuutto #rasismi (translated)
