Islam propaganda in game.

LikeAPr0

In every game turks and egys are "promoting" their religion.
Always writing in general chat "ALLAHU AKBAR".
But this islamic propaganda offends me. It's like personal insult.
Why they don't getting banned for that?
Why the word "allah" is not in chat filter?
Maybe it's time to stop?
Why so much tolerance to them? If they can write islamic things (maybe things about terrorism, we can't know) , then everyone can propaganda everything?

If you feel insulted, you can put them on ignore.

As for them not getting banned for it, saying that God is great is hardly something they could get banned for. Although yes, it can be a bit annoying to get it waved in your face at every turn, I see nothing offensive in it.

Allah merely means God, and God isn't censored either, so I see no reason for it to be filtered. (The Prophet Mohammed is censored, for example.)

In terms of tolerance, I personally see Z8 as quite neutral on all fronts. They tolerate them just as much as us, and I think that's okay.

In short, it's perhaps annoying, but nothing you can really stop, because as soon as you do indeed filter "Allahu Akbar" they'll just work around the Restriction.

They can say that their "god" is great?
It's only THEIR god , allah.
So they believe in that.
As example: I believe that Hitler is my god , so , i'm free to say "Heil Hitler , Hitler is great"?
Since i believe that he is my god.

Well, people could be writing crazy stuff in German too and most people wouldn't know what is going on. Jessy reports them all the time. Allah is not filtered as it translates to God which is also not filtered.
You can block their chat, or send in a ticket and complain.

Ooops left my browser open with out hitting post =/ lol


That is a little different. If you ran around saying Praise God it would be the same thing. They are not saying a specific name but you are in the example.

Allah is their god. An orthodox won't call his god "Allah".

Nothing is keeping you from praising the God the Orthodox Folks believe in, however. Just as they are able to, you would be able to. The word Allah is just that much more vocal because of the sheer amount of Islamic Players in CFNA.

The word "Jesus" is chatfiltered.

It is the literal translation. If I ran around saying Praise Elohim it would be very different than praise god or allahu Akbar. I'm not a big expert in other religions so I can't say if allah has a name or not , but in the Arabic bible Elohim is called Allah lol

As Muhammad should be as well.

While I am not very well versed in any religion honestly, wasn't Jesus a Prophet, same as Mohammed in the Islamic Religion? Both are censored.

No it doesn't?

You all need to stop complaining about non-issues. Trying to make something where there is nothing.

Allah just means God in Arabic. It is not limited to one God. It purely means God, in it's purest form. It refers to the God of whoever is saying it, it is NOT religion-exclusive.

Please get your facts right before spouting more rubbish.

Thanks.

"The Aramaic word for "God" in the language of Assyrian Christians is ʼĔlāhā, or Alaha. Arabic-speakers of all Abrahamic faiths, including Christians and Jews, use the word "Allah" to mean "God". The Christian Arabs of today have no other word for "God" than "Allah". (Even the Arabic-descended Maltese language of Malta, whose population is almost entirely Roman Catholic, uses Alla for "God".) Arab Christians, for example, use the terms Allāh al-ab (الله الأب) for God the Father, Allāh al-ibn (الله الابن) for God the Son, and Allāh al-rūḥ al-quds (الله الروح القدس) for God the Holy Spirit."

The 'their' and 'our' train stops here on this forum post. Everyone off. We go to no further stations, this is the end of the line.

I don't want to see any more about this. If you have a problem with something someone said, send a ticket. If you don't like how the chat filter works, send a ticket. If your pet fish died, send a ticket. Its 2016. Stop being offended just for the sake of being offended.

(Also Natt is right in that Allah is a term for 'God'. Not 'our god' or 'your god' or 'Bobs God' or anything that specific.)
