Not going to talk about RM situation or anything but more about the controversy around the song
I'm a gay men who grew up in a Muslim family and who end up distancing himself from every religion because of how incoherent they are because of the tons of contradictions in the books
and even if i find the song not islamophobic because there's no real critics about the religion
i will still not defend this song, because "Allah akbar" is a sentence who have such a deep meaning for Muslim people and because it's also use in their prayer, it's not something that i personally thing have his place in a song, but even more if the person singing it isn't even muslim
and people talking about how muslim people shouldn't be mad because they should take the context of the song.
I do think it's a dumb argument to use to defend the song imo because the performance of Franck Ocean have proved that using something else in the lyrics doesn't take anything away from the message or the context of the song
and finally for people who are asking themselves why Muslim people are so sensitive compare to christian ?
you didn't think that maybe they were so sensitive about all this things because it's part of their culture and they don't want people to use it in another way than the way it is suppose to be used
and also because Muslim people whatever people accept it or not, are still a community of people who are ostracized compare to christian people , that's why they are more sensitive about this subject than a christian would be
You don't see see nun getting harassed and agressed in the street because she's wearing her veil and her nun dress, now let a muslim women wear a veil and in most of the time people will walk away from her or watch her and sometimes worst when you end up meeting dumb people
You don't see people burning church like they do in some countries with mosque
you don't see people in Jerusalem entering in Church to aggressed and beat people praying
like they did so many times aggressing people in mosque when they were praying during the month of ramadan
I only see country forbidden people of wearing burkini on the beach, because they know that only musliim woman are wearing the burkini and it's a way to keep them away from the tourist who are chilling on the beach because they " disturb their peace"
