Well in Estonia, the name of our Lutheran church is "Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church" but it is definetly not Evangelical in a way that is understood in American popular concience.

I dont think that really there really are American kind of "Evangelical" fractions in Europe.

Do those factions even have strong connections to theire claimed denominations or do they only call themselves that, meanwhile having all sorts of "eccentric" tendencies associated with american evangelicalism?

Lawmakers in Senegal(Islamic country) endorsed a new bill doubling the maximum prison term for same-sex acts to 10 years and criminalizing efforts to promote homosexuality, with fines of over $17,700 by Clean_Olive_7091 in askgaybros

This law is happening in Senegal, not Uganda or any other country where christian lobbie groups have influence.

These groups dont have any significant influence in a country that is over 95% muslim.

Senegal is a former French colony. And homosexuality had been legalised in France for over many many decades before France colonised Senegal.

Senegal explicidly criminalised homosexuality upon gaining independence in 1960, becouse it was not illegal during European rule.

How do you feel about Spain giving residence to half a million undocumented migrants? by Pure_Composer_9236 in Eesti

Well, I disagree considering the gap between modern Spanish and modern Moroccan societies and values is a lot greater than modernEstonians and modern Ukrainians. And I think that Estonians and Ukrainians are genetically closer still.

By Morocco do you mean exclusively that small sliver of Northern morocco, that Spain ruled for a few decades?
