I feel like Islam will become the dominant religion everywhere before communism does the whole washing away religious superstitions bit. I want gay Islam.
Because these kids grew up in a social context where allahu akbar was treated basically the same as heil hitler (except in the parts of the country where they prefer that), and now they're publicly announcing they don't give a shit and the stigma no longer means anything to them.
Just realized I should have specified: the students I heard if from were quite white, so I read it less as as heartfelt religious sentiment and more as:
1:A heartfelt declaration of allegiance to the enemies of the empire, using the words we were brought up to believe were some kind of magic words that suddenly made you an enemy of the empire. In this context, a rejection of American exceptionalism and the racism that undergirds it.
2: A refutation of the status of the phrase allahu akbar in American pop culture as a punchline, something that denotes the character using it as unserious, undeserving of consideration, and marked for a death that will be played for laughs. An insistence on the common humanity of Muslim people in the face of decades of propaganda saying otherwise.
3: A way to freak out the squares, to rub in to the Mike Johnsons of the world that their most hysterical fears about the youth hating them are coming true.
That's a very clear explanation thank you comrade
I completely agree then.
Sorry we had a misunderstanding on the word radicalisation, since where I live we often talk about religious radicalisation in Islam, in the general islamophobe discussion.
Pure evil.
It's really hard to understate what a mass-radicalisation event this whole live-streamed genocide has been, for young people in particular.
I heard some unironic Allahu akbars at the protest

How is this related to the comment above about mass radicalization?
