"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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    A shitty mod that should lose their mod status and/or have the sub suspended temporarily.

    1. Doesn't give a warning, just goes straight to a ban. Lazy mod.
    2. Says the words "for allah" promotes terrorism. I'm critical of Islam but even I wouldn't make such an obviously bigoted claim.

    Such hypocrites. If it was about God or Jesus, no problem. Reddit hates people having different opinions. They prefer bots instead.

    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.

    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

    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.
