AN IRANIAN asylum seeker who raped a teenager has been spared deportation - after he used social media to falsely convert to Christianity. The Muslim man, 38, who illegally came to the UK twelve years ago was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment after raping a 17-year-old girl in 2012. But a judge has ruled that deporting him now following his release would be a breach of his human rights. Upper Tribunal Judge Louis Kopieczek ruled that his 850 twitter posts quoting the Bible and Christian theology placed him at risk of persecution if he was sent back to Iran. But it was acknowledged in the Court of Appeal hearing that his religious conversion was part of a ploy to avoid deportation.

Just Messing: Twitter outrage at Bernie Sanders being cast as a JUDAS to Hillary ‘Jesus’ Clinton
Actor Debra Messing has been slammed over reposting a tweet which boldly refers to Hillary Clinton as being a “modern-day Jesus” who was “betrayed and crucified” by Judas – also known as Bernie Sanders. “Today @DebraMessing decided to share a tweet to her half-million followers accusing Bernie of being ‘Judas’ who ‘betrayed’ & ‘crucified’ the ‘modern-day Jesus’ (Hillary),” journalist Glenn Greenwald tweeted. It came after Messing shared this tweet on her feed, which was originally written in April 2017 by the Twitter handle @MadamClinton. Greenwald went on to call Messing's action “as ugly, bigoted, and toxic as anything anyone got fired for doing this year.” He then sarcastically noted another “parallel” between Jesus and Hillary Clinton. “A lot of people don’t know that Jesus charged massive speaking fees to speak to money-changers before wrecking their … [Read more...] about Just Messing: Twitter outrage at Bernie Sanders being cast as a JUDAS to Hillary ‘Jesus’ Clinton
‘De Memoria’: una cuenta de Twitter que repasa las similitudes del México de ayer y de hoy
Fue a principios de la década pasada cuando vimos al actual presidente, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, decir que no quería llegar a la presidencia. En mayo de 2003, el entonces jefe de Gobierno del Distrito Federal, comunicaba que no buscaba llegar a la presidencia de México, según detalla una nota publicada por el diario El Economista. Quince años más tarde, la cuenta de Twitter De Memoria rescató las declaraciones de López Obrador. “No se calienten la cabeza ni se pongan nerviosos”, dijo entonces en una de sus conferencias de prensa matutinas.

Kanye West slams Ariana Grande for using Twitter feud to promote song
Sara M Moniuszko USA TODAY Published 10:14 AM EST Dec 15, 2018 Kanye West isn't quite finished with calling people out on Twitter. After the rapper feuded with Drake on the social media site Thursday, where he claimed the "God's Plan" rapper was coming after his family, West pulled Ariana Grande into the mix on Saturday.

DRAKE has beefed up security at his California mansion after Kanye West reignited their bitter feud in a scathing Twitter rant yesterday.
