The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Disgusting and such a clear example of the damage we do to another when we accept the all encompassing conditions of corporate social media without resistance.

When a social media website is being run for profit, this kind of shockingly ugly simplification of "foreign" ideas (Islam is NOT foreign to the US) is inveitable. In order to monetize at scale, the system demands this degree of ignorance, it is not optional nor an unintended side effect it is rather how "we" ensure the "right" history is recorded as a racist, xenophobic society choking to death on its own bigotry.

It is the same situation with mainstream corporate news. The more money you add, the more practiced and willful ignorance you get.

Nah this isn’t corporate influence, it’s just plain old bigotry and racism. This smells strongly of “brown religion bad”.

A lot of Americans fell victim to this after 9/11 and it never went away. Anything Muslim is terrorism. I doubt most of them even know that allah is just the name they use for their god, and certainly not that it’s the same god as the Christian god.

allah is just the name they use for their god

Christian Arabs use this name for God as well

they also get upset if you call anything christians put into law as 'sharia law"

Jesus was a brown, middle eastern, palestinian jew.

Yes I am aware, but good luck convincing white Christians of that.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

Try to explain to an American Christian what a Coptic is.

Usually you can watch their brains melt inside their heads.

i feel like we're in need of another Life of Brian or Blazing Saddles. I wish I were talented enough to write or film either

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

"devout" sees him as a white , blue eyed man.

[–] procrastitron@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It’s not a name. It’s literally just the word “God” in Arabic.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yes, this is ridiculous, we aren't even talking about an especially specific word or concept, you might as well call the word for "love" in arabic inherently extremist, threatening and violent.

Ask 1000 Christians what "god" means to them and get 1000 different answers, why would it be any different for Islam?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

almost any comment against christianity=bad, even MEDIA/MSN dont touch this, but more than happy to frame muslims as a violent sexist religion, eventhough christianity has DONE ALOT worst.
