I mean ik the actuall meaning of allahu akbar but saying that on plane has a widely different meaning than a white woman preaching some bullshit

Context matters Say “in the name of JESUS im hijacking this airplane” on a Chinese passenger ferry, and no one bats an eye. Say it on a European airplane and you probably will get it grounded.

it doesnt tho. how is a muslim saying allahu akbar in prayer different than a christian saying god is good? the only reason theres a difference on a plane is bc of the association. many ppl (like me, even tho im agnostic) who get wary of flying pray before flights. the example was comparing one person praying to themselves and being overheard and the other preaching.

like i said, if one was privately praying to allah just because they were fearful or it was time to do so, theyd be perceived as a threat. but when the other stands up and starts trying to evangelize its not. i understand why in the public consciousness thats a thing in the us. but. why one gets defended and the other doesn’t…not cool

it does but im operating in the context i set. because i JUST saw a video of a white christian woman on a plane going into the aisle to preach the word of god. so. comparatively, if a woman who was muslim were to do the exact same thing, theyd be treated differently. obviously, if they said something to the effect that theyd be causing harm itd be different. but for one religion to be allowed in such a disruptive manner, but one would cause fear even in a private overheard manner…

Because people who identify themselves with Islam committed the largest act of plane based terrorism in history. I bet with some research you could find other cultures that react to other religions in similar ways based on context The world isnt fair, and actions cause consequences

literally just admitting you’re prejudiced and discriminate against people who ascribe to Islam. and before you come back at me with some bullshit, go ahead and look up the definition of both “prejudice” and “discrimination”

thank ya. assuming that any muslim who says allahu akbar (although its equivalent to “God is good”, which is a colloquialism especially in the south) is going to commit an act of violence is prejudice. to support punitive measures against them for doing it audibly/in public is discrimination. if we dont want ppl praying or talking about their gods on planes then its not acceptable for anyone. this is America. the 1st applies equally to all religions, even the ones you dont agree with.
