    A shitty mod that should lose their mod status and/or have the sub suspended temporarily.

    1. Doesn’t give a warning, just goes straight to a ban. Lazy mod.
    2. Says the words “for allah” promotes terrorism. I’m critical of Islam but even I wouldn’t make such an obviously bigoted claim.

      Its not even Islamic, arab-speaking Christians say they worship Allah too, its literally just a translation.

        Some of us Atheists unironically wear religious stuff because it looks stylish, because the words sound cool, or because we like and appreciate the fandom of a particular story, even if we realize people made it all up. I can wear Dr Who swag for the same reasons.

            And similarly why you find a lot of Caucasians with Mandarin script tattooed on their skin. It’s cool, they like the meaning, and they don’t have to be Confucian or whatever

              More likely it was because the Vikings worked as mercenaries around Europe and for the Byzantines. There is a railing in the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul with runes carved into it by bored Vikings. They would’ve picked up items from all over the world in the process. They’ve also found Islamic coins in hoards found in Scandinavia.

              The owner of this ring probably didn’t even know what was carved on it, it just looked nice.
