In India, we are having great fun. War, Politics, Tariffs, Tax Cuts. Distancing from USA which wants to dominate us, not moving away from Russia, moving closer to China.
Religion of love?

I follow a religion of love, which sees God's love in all things.Youtube videos and scriptures talking of God's displeasure.
Economic upheavals happen at times. But then the world settles down to a changed order.
Of course, the snake-oil sellers, Abrahsamic God's Covenants, in their many versions, will not leave humanity alone.
Humans will correct themselves or perish, it does not matter to the universe.
Other species will take over. Perhaps rats and rodents again, as it happened last time. They are hardy.
I will buy that snake oil, as love conquers all and we are one in that love.

Yes it is, but the sun is rising and a brand new day is dawning.
The Old world order will leave much destruction in its wake, as it is already doing across many lines of conflicts, dishonesty and predudices.
Stay well, stay happy, stay safe.

Free speech needs boundaries. Moderation for those that have anarchy tendencies.

If you would like to make others see it, it helps to make a case where you draw clearer causal lines of cause and effect.
Otherwise it just sounds like harrumphing about the downfall of society which someone is ALWAYS doing, in every era.

Those exceptions are already pretty clear in case law, in the US it would be First Amendment law.
Slander, libel, harassment, "fighting words"
To even begin to fathom anything remotely like laws against "blasphemy" then "blasphemy" would need to be well defined.

Do you think usury and money manipulation come out of blasphemy? Or non-adherence to religion?
Do you think those abuses were or are absent in more religious societies?
Is there any correlation between one's religion and one's behavior in the financial sector?
Have there been any studies? (on brokers or bankers or venture capitalists or hedge fund operators or...?)
Can you name examples or cases?

Talk of that to Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, Ali Hosseini Khamenei and others.

Who decides that Bahai House of Justice, Bahai Militia that Shoghi Rabbani talked about?
In India, it is decided by the Supreme Court of India and generally it is very liberal.
"The Indian Constitution guarantees freedom of expression under Article 19(1)(a), allowing all citizens to express their views freely. However, this right is subject to reasonable restrictions for reasons such as national security, public order, and morality."

Generally, Arab businessmen are the very corrupt when it comes to monetary exploitation of people from other countries, since their governments support them. Currently, an Indian woman is under a death sentence for murder of her exploiter in Yemen.
Disrespect of religion in society .. which blasphemy fuels.
I don't think that is the correct question..
A better question would be "Is usury blessed by G-d?"
..and "Why is the global financial system based on usury?"
..such studies would be discarded by Western economists .. the whole shebang is based
on usury .. the price of money etc.
It is such major sin that creates enmity and war .. the haves and the have-nots.
..another aspect of war, is increased "terrorism".
When you "point the finger", there are 3 fingers pointing at yourself.
We all belong to the human race, and are all sinners.
The main difference between people is that some recognize that, and some don't.

Loans with a reasonable interest are OK. I remember, at one time government of India had a limit of 6% on personal loans. That was quite fair. Perhaps in Muhammad's time, money lenders demanded upward of 24%. Today, the limit in India is upto 24% for NBFC (Non-Banking Financial Companies). I think that is high and it should be limited at 12%.
Manipulation of money is treated strongly. I would not mind if they make it more stringent.
As for moral values, we are on the whole a conservative nation (whether Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs or even Christians). Social media and porn is doing no good to India. I look forward to the day when these are banned. We have banned games with real money this week, and I am very happy about that. We should have a national search engine like Baido in China and our own social media. Of course, such action will have strong reaction from Trump's US. But Modi should do it and Modi can do it. We in India, like to say 'if there is Modi, then it is possible'.

Unfortunately, Modi is not going to contest the 2029 elections and there will be a change. He will be 78+ at that time and he is of the opinion that people should leave politics at that age. My prediction is that he would become a monk.

I would rather say, fortunately, because then he has the chance to leave before he fails. Erdoghan would have been a great statesman had he resigned in 2012...
Addiction to power is the major vice of many who gained it.
Submission to God means for us to serve.
Translate to an atheist: work to the best of the people and the nature we are part of and depend on and be fair to anyone.

Some neighbors make it difficult to love them. It is a two-way street. As you know, one cannot clap with just one hand.

Sorry, I forgot that politics is not welcomed.
