ALBAWABA - American conservative political activist Charlie Kirk recently sparked outrage on X (formerly known as Twitter) after taking to his account and writing, "Islam is not compatible with Western civilization." As of recently, the far-right activist has been the subject of ongoing controversy for his political views and opinions on religion. His latest post on X is no exception, sparking a wave of division, with social media users either supporting Charlie Kirk or strongly opposing his views on Islam. Fellow X user Zhang Yong clapped back at Kirk and wrote, "Charlie your smile is not compatible with society," following a picture mocking the political activist's appearance. Another took to Kirk's defense and wrote, "This is, unfortunately, becoming more and more apparent."

Videos of his heated debates with students on campus garnered millions of views and followers across social media due to their controversial nature.

Disney facing Lilo & Stitch disaster as 'disgusting' change sees fans call for boycott
Disney fans have declared they're refusing to watch the ' woke ' live-action remake of Lilo & Stitch after it was revealed that a major character had been cut. The upcoming movie is set to hit theaters on May 23 - nearly 23 years after the beloved animated classic first captured the globe. However, excitement for the flick has turned to outrage after rumors that one main character from the original wouldn't feature in the latest version. According to multiple X accounts, Captain Gantu - the main antagonist in 2002 cartoon - is not going to appear in the live-action remake. It's unclear who will be replace him as the villain, but the news left fans all across the globe heartbroken. Social media was quickly flooded with posts from angry fans, many of whom claimed they were now boycotting the upcoming remake. 'Not watching then,' one person replied to a post that said: 'Captain Gantu will not appear in the live-action Lilo & Stitch remake.' 'Well, then I am no longer interested in watching it. Huge mistake to cut him from the movie,' agreed someone else. Another user added: 'Welp, It's gonna be garbage!' 'The movie is a huge "woke" flop,' scathed a fourth. A fifth tweeted: 'The woke re-writing of history is so disgusting…' read a fifth tweet. A sixth added: 'How do you cut the antagonist of the film? Who even is the villain? 'There wasn't even a point of remake the movie in the first place, but it's even more pointless now.' Bad publicity: The movie has faced a tonne of heat before it has even been released Not happy: Social media was quickly flooded with posts from angry fans The original Lilo & Stitch followed an alien monster experiment who accidentally ended up on Earth after escaping from his creator, Jumba. Fans were already upset over the news that character Pleakley won't dress like a woman in the live-action remake. Throughout their journey to try to get Stitch back, Jumba and Pleakley wear disguises in an attempt to try to look human and blend in with everyone around them - and in the original, Pleakley, who is male, opts to wear a dress and women's wig. But don't expect the alien to dress like a female in the new version. Director Dean Fleischer Camp confirmed the news in a TikTok video earlier this month, which sparked immense criticism. While chatting with Entertainment Weekly about it afterwards, Dean explained that Jumba and Pleakley, played by Zach Galifianakis and Billy Magnussen respectively, don't put human clothes and wigs on at all in the live-action remake, so there actually wasn't a chance for Pleakley to dress up like a woman like he did in the animated flick. Instead, he explained that they use technology to morph themselves into humans. He added that he and his team did 'some tests and some character design work' to try to make Jumba and Pleakley look like they did in the original, but it just didn't work. Ultimately, he said they decided it was 'a bridge too far' and that it didn't translate well into live-action. 'The humor of them walking around Hawaii dressed in these terrible disguises where Pleakley still has one eyeball, it's a little harder to buy in live action,' he said. The director added that 'budgets' also played a part in the decision. 'If you have Jumba and Pleakley in alien disguises, then you're going to have to shortchange how much development work you can do on Stitch and these other elements,' he continued. 'It's not that they're aliens in the movie. You definitely see Jumba and Pleakley in their alien forms through a lot of the movie, but they are in human skin suits for part of it.'
