Especially when it's indiscriminately used in discussions about things like genocide or whether a person is valid or not. It's very insulting and feels like a form of orientalism. I feel like the members here take it for granted because support for Palestinians and antipathy towards Israel is high. It really doesn't make it okay.

I'm not saying get rid of the emotes, but have some cultural sensitivity when applying them.

Thank you.

    I'm guilty of saying "Inshallah" a fair bit

    In my defence, it is usually genuine and the equivalent from my religion has... very bad connotations

    I will stop if Muslim comrades want me to though
