Both are, essentially, glorifying violence. One is making light of slaughtering a subset of people, the other is making light of said people slaughtering others. Don't mistake--the use of "Allah Akbar" is fairly specifically a suicide bombing related joke.

My guess is that one is more uncomfortable because it's directly in your face, while the other can be waved off without thinking about what it means.


I don't think they are glorifying violence with the former. They're making light of it.

Is OP for real with this thread?


I'm just glad he is taking a break from overweight reality tv chicks and anti-sjw copy pasta shitsites for a change

but (as with all of his threads) the content of this thread belongs in his garbage pail thread

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.

Your word is more apt for both of the jokes.
