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.
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?
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.

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.
Try to explain to an American Christian what a Coptic is.
Usually you can watch their brains melt inside their heads.
“devout” sees him as a white , blue eyed man.
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
It’s not a name. It’s literally just the word “God” in Arabic.
