Not really in the DC fandom and I don't really read many comics but I've been seeing some videos and posts making headcanons about the Al-Ghul family being Muslim and it pisses me off so much.

This interpretation is deeply rooted in Islamophobia and the ignorant notion that every Arab is a Muslim and therefore a "terrorist". The Al-Ghuls are not and have never been Muslims and any parts of the religion found in their characters are likely due to the fact that Arab culture has a lot of aspects of Islam mixed into it and because again, people think that being Arab and being Muslim are the same thing and a lot of the comic writers are white Americans who commonly have this misconception about Arabs.

I'm not going to go into the specifics of everything because 1) I don't know all that much about canon and 2) this is a little hard to explain but I will give several examples that pretty much disprove that headcannon because The Al-Ghuls do things that are considered major sins in Islam on the daily.

Ra's runs an assassin league/cult and despite what many people think killing people is a major sin in Islam except in very specific scenarios where it may be excused like in self-defence or in war. And what the Al-Ghuls do? That isn't excusable in any way.

Ra's' name in and of itself is proof. His name means the Demon Head and I promise you a proper practicing Muslim would not call themself that or commit the atrocities he has on innocent people. I don't know if this is true but I saw on the wiki that apparently a character named Gerhardt asked him if he was a man or a fiend from hell and Ra's, said that he was both and neither and that he was "Ra's al-Ghul". A Muslim would not associate themself with Hell, a place where evildoers are punished in the afterlife.

Talia committed zina (fornication), yet another major sin, and wears extremely revealing clothing despite the fact that modesty is an integral part of the religion.

The Al-Ghuls drink wine, eat pork and apparently Damian was often fed ox blood soup as a child despite the fact that all these things are explicitly forbidden for Muslims to consume in verses of the Quran. (To clarify a bit, in case you're confused about the ox blood soup, Muslims are forbidden from consuming animal blood because it is considered filthy and harmful, much like pork and wine.)

Not to mention the whole thing about Ra's nearly being 500 years old and the Lazarus Pits apparently reviving him every time he dies... but that's a whole can of worms I don't know enough about to open

So yeah, the headcanon that the Al-Ghuls are Muslims perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Islam as a whole. There probably is more to be said about this topic but unfortunately, I haven't read many comics and have only watched a few of the DC animated movies so I can't say much more.

Feel free to correct me if I've said something incorrect or missed something important.

once again i really do think armand’s morality and view of his own morality is summed up by “i tried to be good, am i no good?” because he KNOWS he’s not, but he so desperately wants to be good in any way he can be, so that he can be desired. and this in turn means he is deep in denial about any bad he has done other than the deep seated feeling that he is simply “bad” as a vague concept and not the sum of his actions. anyway who’s up thinking normal thoughts about characters.

[its-joshs-fault]

"Luckily we can disagree and still be friends" umm is the friendship in the room with us? Because if you're going to lengths to even say that it usually means we're disagreeing on whether or not I should exist or if women should have control of their own bodies. Or if people who don't worship the same as you are good people, or people at all. We can disagree on whether ketchup goes on pizza and still be friends. But if you think a trans person shouldn't have rights I'm gonna call you weird and tell you to have the day you deserve✌🏻️I've gotten very good at it do not piss me off

it makes no sense to claim to be a radfem while being het-partnered. maybe ur some other form of feminist, but certainly not a radfem. i also think the women who claim to be radfems while calling women dick-obsessed and other vulgar terms are not radfems either. these two beliefs can (and should) coexist

Disclaimer:

This is part of a series of polls I wanted to make. These are bands that are mainly punk, but some do crossover (e.g. fishbone) and because this genre has so many smaller bands running through it, I couldn't possibly add all of them.

I also just wanted to make this so I could get probably some suggestions on BLACK musicians that made/make rock music. It's not a contest, I just want to see which musicians some people like and for this to be a way for people to discover them.

Classic Rock

Punk

Do not Abandon your Du'a!

"Do not abandon du'a, nor allow what [bad deeds] you've committed prevent you from it. For verily Allah answered Iblis, yet he was the worst of creation.

Iblis said: "Grant me respite until the Day in which they will be resurrected." Allah said: "Indeed you are from those who are granted respite."

[Quran 7:14-15]"

Muhammad al-Shareef (may Allah be pleased with him), left us with a statement which symbolises the expectations we should have of Allah. He said simply, 'If you were to stand in front of a King, would you ask him for a penny?'

 عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ إِنَّ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ شَجَرَةً لاَ يَسْقُطُ وَرَقُهَا، وَإِنَّهَا مَثَلُ الْمُسْلِمِ، فَحَدِّثُونِي مَا هِيَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَوَقَعَ النَّاسُ فِي شَجَرِ الْبَوَادِي‏.‏ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي أَنَّهَا النَّخْلَةُ، فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ ثُمَّ قَالُوا حَدِّثْنَا مَا هِيَ يَ�� رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ هِيَ النَّخْلَةُ ‏"‏‏.‏ صحيح البخاري ومسلم حديث ٦١ - ٢٨١١

Narrated Ibn `Umar: Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "Amongst the trees, there is a tree, the leaves of which do not fall and is like a Muslim. Tell me the name of that tree." Everybody started thinking about the trees of the desert areas. And I thought of the date-palm tree but felt shy to answer the others then asked, "What is that tree, O Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) ?" He replied, "It is the date-palm tree." Sahih al-Bukhari 61 In-book reference : Book 3, Hadith 3 // Sahih Muslim 2811 a In-book reference : Book 52, Hadith 52

قال المهلب: معنى طرح المسائل على التلاميذ لترسخ فى القلوب وتثبت، لأن ما جرى منه فى المذاكرة لا يكاد ينسى. وفيه: ضرب الأمثال بالشجر وغيرها، وشبه (صلى الله عليه وسلم) النخلة بالمسلم، كما شبهها الله فى كتابه، وضرب بها المثل للناس، فقال: (أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ اللهُ مَثَلاً كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِى السَّمَاء (يعني النخلة التى) تُؤْتِى أُكُلَهَا كُلَّ حِينٍ) [إبراهيم: ٢٦] ، وكذلك المسلم يأتى الخير كل حين من الصلاة، والصوم، وذكر الله تعالى، فكأن الخير لا ينقطع منه، فهو دائم كما تدوم أوراق النخلة فيها، ثم الثمر الكائن منها في أوقاته. شرح صحيح البخاري لابن بطال

قال الربيع بن أنس : " كل حين " : أي : كل غدوة وعشية ، لأن ثمر النخل يؤكل أبدا ليلا ونهارا ، صيفا وشتاء ، إما تمرا أو رطبا أو بسرا ، كذلك عمل المؤمن يصعد أول النهار وآخره وبركة إيمانه لا تنقطع أبدا ، بل تصل إليه في كل وقت . والحكمة في تمثيل الإيمان بالشجرة : هي أن الشجرة لا تكون شجرة إلا بثلاثة أشياء : عرق راسخ ، وأصل قائم ، وفرع عال ، كذلك الإيمان لا يتم إلا بثلاثة أشياء : تصديق بالقلب ، وقول باللسان ، وعمل بالأبدان . تفسير البغوي

Al-Mahlab said: The meaning of asking questions to the students so that they may be fixed in their hearts, because what is learned in study is hardly ever forgotten. And in it: He (peace be upon him) likened the palm tree to the Muslim, as Allah has likened it in His Book, and set an example for people, saying: "See you not how Allah sets forth a parable? - A goodly word as a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the sky (i.e. very high). * Giving its fruit at all times, " [Ibrahim:٢٤ - ٢٥] Similarly, a Muslim does good all the time, from prayer, fasting, and remembrance of Allah Almighty. translated from Commentary on Sahih al-Bukhari by Ibn Battal

The believer is just like the beneficial date tree, always having good actions ascending at all times, by day and by night. ... Allah said next, تُؤْتِى أُكُلَهَا كُلَّ حِينٍ ( Giving its fruit at all times, ) It is said that it means by day and by night. And they say that describes the believer as a tree that always has fruits during summer and winter, by night and by day. This is the parable of the believer whose good works ascend to heaven by day and by night and at all times,... Quran 14:25 Tafsir Ibn Kathir

[angelic-shadow]

I see where people are coming from when they say "they won't teach about x subject yet they'll reach religion?" or "they shouldn't be talking about religion in schools" but it still kinda misses the point. The problem isn't that they're teaching about religion in schools at all. the issue is that they only teach about one religion (Christianity) and they talk about it as if it's the only religion or the only good religion, and depending on which school you go to they may force those who aren't Christian to partake in Christian activities. The solution isn't to stop talking about religion in schools. The solution is to talk about all religions, to talk about athiesm and agnosticism, to talk about religious trauma, to talk about the history of religion, to talk about cults, to talk about bigotry that some religious groups (especially jews and muslims) face and to give *all* religious people a choice to practice.

I don't want schools to stop teaching about religion. I want schools to stop telling kids that there's only one religion to follow, I want schools to teach about all religions, all beliefs, and to allow non-christians to have to freedom to practice their own and to not force them to partake in christian practices.
