the mod said they will unban him if he remove the post in /r/viking
"God": Based. Cool. Trad. The foundation of Western Civilization. Protected by the first amendment. Maybe we'd all be a little better of we honored him more.
"God" but in Arabic: Extremist. Scary. Woke. A corrupting influence on the global politics. Clear and present danger. We need to expunge it from our nation and the world.
That applies to pretty much every arabic word.
It's not just limited to Arabic words: Arabic Numbers are scary, too....
"72% of Americans say children shouldn't be taught Arabic numerals in school."
Wait to they find out about Arabic numbers and start banning upvotes and downvotes
In Germany someone trolled a mayor candidate of one of the Nazi parties with that. He fell for it

Reddit is embracing the new christofascist dictatorship.
Islamophobia still get a pass on the internet. Especially on Reddit.
it very much also gets a pass IRL
it gets a pass everywhere, the decades of propaganda against arabic people via, bush's wars had a generational effect. but criticism against christianity, is where they draw the line.
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
This smells strongly of “brown religion bad”.
Jesus was a brown, middle eastern, palestinian jew.
Lots of overlap between ‘viking enthusiasts’ and white supremacists unfortunately. This specifically seems more christofascist but obviously lots of overlap there too.

Mods are always the actual dumbest most power tripping little fuckers. (InB4 banned from this com)
Edit: This is actually just straight up racist / xenophobic the more I think about it.
Remove it so they unban you.
Post it again, and add all this history too.
Immediately unsubscribe from their shit sub.
The most absurd about this imo. is that Arabic is considered promoting terrorism, but Vikings are not.
1000 year old? How dare this dude threaten us with scary Arabic numerals
reddit must be going hard on the anti-palestine rhetoric. if the mods wont ban you, the site filters would eventually. im seeing quite alot of shadowbannings that dont make sense.
I wonder how this guy would react to the existance of the Arabic Christians.
Reddit has always been a fascist shithole... At least since the state murdered aaron...
What dipshits.
This made me realize that, throughout basically all of Viking history, Islam was already a thing. Curious.
"Allah" is also simply the Arabic word for God, and was actually also used there before Islam.
Although there could be further clues that link these rings to Islam, of course.
Yeah, "Allah" is what Lebanese, Syrian, and other Arab Christians have called their Christian God as well.
The most incredible thing was that the guy got a reply from a mod. That never happened to me when I got banned from subs.
One thing I learned from reddit is that if you breathe wrong, you will get permabanned and accused of racism and if you try and argue your case, you will be ignored.
I don't miss that site.
Your friend's rings look really nice btw.
I got reddit ban once for saying that some paedophiles are so bad, that lots of people think they should get the death penalty.
Community ban from r/unitedkingdom, followed swiftly by...
Reddit is a vast network of communities that are created, run, and populated by people all over the world. In order to keep communities welcoming, safe, and great places to be, everyone who uses the platform operates by a shared set of rules.
Permanently banned for hate
Reddit is moderated by the worst people in the world.
I got banned from the entirety of reddit a couple days ago for daring to say that people on the NYC subway should stand up for themselves against a violent thug who attacked a sleeping passenger for tik tok, so I'm not really surprised. And I can't even prove that's what I was banned for since they deleted my comment LOL
I got shadow banned from the entire site for making a popular post about diy Luigi prayer candles on witches vs patriarchy.
A shitty mod that should lose their mod status and/or have the sub suspended temporarily.
The Moderators of a viking themed subreddit being racists? No way!
they weren´t banned from r/viking, only from imadethis, if i read correctly.
Such hypocrites. If it was about God or Jesus, no problem. Reddit hates people having different opinions. They prefer bots instead.
If it was about God
The irony of this is that Allah literally means God.
Allah is known in Christianity as God the Father, part of Trinity. Being an Abrahamic religion, Islam simply expands on Christianity, while describing much the same characters.
Except Muslims do not recognize the Trinity as a thing; God the Holy Spirit is to them Archangel Gabriel, and Jesus (Isa) is a prophet, not a Son of God.
It's the same god ffs! Allah and god the father are the same person.
Reddit mods are like, the pus from a festering wound
https://www.britannica.com/topic/Allah
Etymologically, the name Allah is probably a contraction of the Arabic al-Ilāh, “the God.” The name’s origin can be traced to the earliest Semitic writings in which the word for god was il, el, or eloah, the latter two used in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Allah is the standard Arabic word for God and is used by Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews as well as by Muslims. The association of the word specifically with Islam comes from the special status of Arabic as the language of Islam’s holy scripture, the Qurʾān: since the Qurʾān in its original language is considered to be the literal word of God, it is believed that God described himself in the Arabic language as Allāh (which is written as الله). The Arabic word thus holds special significance for Muslims, regardless of their native tongue, because the Arabic word was spoken by God himself.
Check out my handle people. I was permabanned because a mod form one of the subs had a personal vendetta against me, he or she ended up reporting me to Reddit HQ citing racism when I had a civil and celebrated comment on the sub. The topic was regarding poverty as an identity amongst young people in my country, obviously I got permabanned so I decided to leave Reddit as a whole, since the Reddit mods do not want to establish any kind of conversation so I could explain the situation in a better way. I was a 17 year active user as well, I am sure the mod who banned me was not even there when I signed up.
I regularly write my God's name on things. It's an ancient Polynesian God, Fu'Ksa'Kes
It's important to be respectful for fu'ksa'kes
At least they banned you to your face. I keep getting shadowbanned...
