I'm not Mr. Wannabe Arab

Listen, you are the absolute worst representative of your community, calling me Tablighi and then giving remarks that are just out of pure rage.

Talking about Arabic and Urdu, it's not like they are the only languages a Muslim can use. I never said that you are Mr. Wannabe guru nor did I call you a Bajrang Dal member.

And yeah, Bajrang Dal is that group right, that recently dragged a Muslim rickshaw driver on the streets in front of his daughter, hitting him and torturing him until later on when his daughter went into a trauma and stopped eating food? Also, they threw stones at a St. Joseh school, right?

I know that Taliban also recently killed 130 students of a school, and I condemn that, what I'm trying to bring up is, chill out, relax, and show me verses of the Qur'an that are against humanity.

It's not the people we have to look at but the religious scriptures.

Saudi Arabia is filled with extremists who kill people only because they go against Islam, and I admit that. A lot of Muslim kings have spelled terror, and I admit that.

A lot of Hindu kings have done that as well but there were also Hindu kings that were amazing in nature.

There are bad Hindu people, and then good Hindu people. Bad Muslims, and then good Muslims. Bad Christians, and then good Christians.

Let's not normalize these talks about terror attacks and kings, these are just not good representatives. Buddhists destroyed a chunk of Rumi's works, Al-Biruni's whole family was killed by atheist extremists, but it's not the religions that do these, it's the people.

You talked all gibberish about Arabs and Muslims and every other bad example you could find, but never really looked into the good kings and commanders we offered. Ali (RA), Umar Ibn-Khattab (RA), Harun Al-Rashid (RA), Khadija (RA), Raziya Sultana, Qutubuddin Aibak, Iltutmish etc.
