Exactly. Imagine white folks having the police called on them and tackled, having their lives put in danger, & arrested every time someone heard them say "Thank God!"Who Princess said:I guess you're not aware that Allahu akbar means "God is great," not "I pledge support to ISIS." You're a lot more likely to hear an Arabic speaker say it when they get good news, they congratulate someone, or their favorite team scores a goal. In another life, I taught English to Arabic students and they said it all the time, including when they got a good grade or were talking about everyday things.

I wish to start a social movement where we say "Shut up" when somebody sneezes. I think that would be cool."My brain's a good brain!"0 -
I took down my Rebel flag (which you CAN'T buy on eBay any more) and peeled the NRA sticker off the front door. I disconnected my home alarm system and quit the candy-ass Neighborhood Watch.
Then I bought two Pakistani flags and put one at each corner of the front yard and purchased the black flag of ISIS (which you CAN buy on eBay) and ran it up the flagpole
Now, the local police, sheriff, FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, Secret Service and other agencies are all watching my house 24/7. I've NEVER felt safer and I'm saving $69.95 a month that ADT used to charge me.
Plus, I bought burkas for my family when we shop or travel. Everyone moves out of the way and security can't pat us down.
Hot damn — Safe at last — Is America great or what?

I had started a thread years ago saying "I don't say bless you when someone sneezes" and I got torn a new one.Thirty Bills Unpaid said:

Exactlygimmesometruth27 said:i said allahu akbar when i almost wrecked my jeep yesterday.
does that mean i unknowlingly pledged allegiance to isis?
apparently we fear what we don't understand.
A muslim saying Allahu Akbar is equal to a christian saying glory be to god
A muslim saying Allahu Akbar is equal yo a christian saying thank you lord
So much damn fear, hate, and ignorance in this world.
I'd be more ashamed after reading of mass murder than I would be hearing of some guy detained a bit for acting suspiciously- even though he wasn't from what we have read. There's much greater ignorance out there that doesn't draw as much more ire from many here.
People on this board and elsewhere were questioning why neighbours of that twat in California that shot up his work place in the name of Allah hadn't reported his suspiciousness.
A person simply cannot win under the circumstances we have. It's probably best to say nothing and accept mass murder as it happens lest you be called an intolerant fool.
Don't get me wrong... it's shitty this guy was detained, but this event is international news? Really?
i am sick to death of hearing about mass murder. that makes me ashamed to be a human as well and it has made me feel that way for years. the fact that we are profiling innocent people because we are scared and don't understand arabic makes me feel worse.
a person can't win if they are muslim. if they are orthodox jewish. if they are black. if they are latino.
seems like the only people who can win are the paranoid, stupid, white, christian, men.
generalizing all muslims by the actions of the fanatics in isis is exactly like me generalizing all christians based on the actions of the kkk and the westboro baptist church.

he wasn't arrested. the headline is false. he was questioned yes, but never taken into custody and booked. that is not an arrest.0

It's also the favorite thing they say out loud when they are about to kill thousands w/ a airplane or dozens when they blow themselves up in the middle of a town square,hotel, restaurant, train, movie theater, church, whatever and wherever.....Nothing to see hereWho Princess said:I guess you're not aware that Allahu akbar means "God is great," not "I pledge support to ISIS."

and if I heard someone dressed in that manner and saying that i would report it absolutely. as a US citizen i have the right to report what i think might be suspicious activity. It is them up to the authorities to decipher if the supposed activity should be investigated and/or is criminal. that is all that happened in this case. as i stated above the man was NOT arrested despite the headline and reports.0 -

So I'm guessing in Chicago you get lots of 911 calls about people saying "Allahu akbar"? Sounds like it's a priority to respond to them. If the same bimbo hotel clerk called 911 and said there was a guy in Klan robes talking on the phone about buying some charcoal, would you rush right over to detain him?muskydan said:

Why not? I've heard Muslims use Allah and God interchangeably with English speakers. Why would they be offended that you used the same phrase that they regularly speak in your native language?pjhawks said:well if you said God is great in the middle of a Muslim state it wouldn't go over too well.

"seems like the only people who can win are the paranoid, stupid, (Insert race here), christian, men.
Insert a different race in that exact sentence. Can you? If not why?
Could you say that at work?
