so I was taking out some relatives who arrived from overseas the other day and one 15 year old mentioned that he plays call of duty and that he and his friends shout "allah akbar" as they throw bombs at opponents - i thought that was funny ^_^
he then mentioned they also shout "kill all muslims!" at the opponents :mellow:
i then began to lecture him on the topic of racism saying how he can't go around saying that kind of stuff, i told him he probably has some muslim friends so he ought to know they're not all bad
he then told me yes he does have muslim friends and that they are the ones who taught him to say these things while he's playing call of duty
:huh:
i still haven't figure out how i feel about this
what race is Islam? I was under the impression it was a political and religious ideology, and as such was open to criticisms like any other (bad) ideas, and speaking against it thereby cannot be construed as racist.
I do recognize tact and being a decent human being to one another is important however.
