    Nah this isn’t corporate influence, it’s just plain old bigotry and racism. This smells strongly of “brown religion bad”.

    A lot of Americans fell victim to this after 9/11 and it never went away. Anything Muslim is terrorism. I doubt most of them even know that allah is just the name they use for their god, and certainly not that it’s the same god as the Christian god.

      allah is just the name they use for their god

      Christian Arabs use this name for God as well

        Yes, this is ridiculous, we aren’t even talking about an especially specific word or concept, you might as well call the word for “love” in arabic inherently extremist, threatening and violent.

        Ask 1000 Christians what “god” means to them and get 1000 different answers, why would it be any different for Islam?

      almost any comment against christianity=bad, even MEDIA/MSN dont touch this, but more than happy to frame muslims as a violent sexist religion, eventhough christianity has DONE ALOT worst.
