Especially a million dollar industry. I think if they knew what it was then they would have considered. It is a multi million dollar industry but also its music. Theyâre probably only thinking about getting it cleared for use, especially considering itâs in a different language and just sounds like something thatâs been chopped and remixed. I do understand the outrage from Islamic folk as itâs something thatâs obviously important to them and their religion which we all know they take very seriously.

Youâre talking to a person whose originally from an Arab country, and thereâs several of us on here. Weâve voiced our opinion about how religion can be critiqued and used artistically. No one asked you to jump and be the defense attorney here on behalf of anybody. This outrage culture is so toxic.  I know youâre triggered, thatâs why youâre the first one to jump in these threads to mock and talk for other people. Whether is BLM or any topic of racism, youâre crying about âcancel cultureâ.  Whatever your background is, your posts are mostly right leaning bs so thatâs why you think this has anything to do with âcancel cultureâ, since none of us actually canceled her. People are rightly disappointed and youâre no one to tell them they shouldnât be. Second, Arabs donât own Islamic religion, if youâd read youâd notice even NOT all members with Arabic backgrounds agreed in this thread. Thereâs no unanimous opinion. And lastly, I didnât jump in to defend anyone, Iâm Muslim by myself, so just stop talking for me. /now back to the list FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAG 7 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 We get it. Some of yâall are edgy and donât believe in religion but letâs show some respect for those who do. Rihanna probably didnât know the significance of the songâs content which is understandable imo, but the Muslims also have a right to feel however they feel about her use of the song as itâs their religion/beliefs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybodyâs just looking for a reason to get offended. But Islamic people have always been doing too much whenever someone mentioned Allah or tried to criticize their religion. Letâs not pretend this isnât true.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both have used their art to criticize and explore aspects of their own religious beliefs, which is totally fine because it is their own. They get to use how they experience their religion in their art.  Rihanna is not Muslim, so this feels very different. I doubt it was meant to offend or even make a statement, but it is, at best, tone-deaf. And if she was trying to make a political statement, this was not the way to do it; it is not her lane. It is not her lane to support women rights, no matter the religion?

People of those religions are always gonna be offended by it. I obviously see why muslims find it offensive. Music is haram for them already, so to remix a hadith and then use it for a lingerie show? They're definitely gonna find it very disrespectful. What i find confusing is non muslims being offended by this..? Like this is not a human rights issue, it's a purely religious issue, and there's no reason to be angry at this if you are not muslim yourself. If you believe religious verses are glorified fanfiction that people decide to follow, why would you care if someone used those verses for art? It all really smells like posturing and virtue signaling on the parts of everyone who has no problem with christianity being used for art but not this. Exaclty, i see why Muslims would find this offensive and i dont blame them. Also bashing Christianity is generally accepted on this site but when it comes to islam that is hardly the case. The posturing is real in these streets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I say the same for Non Binary people wishing to use specific pronouns? Or trans people that want to be considered a different sex? Or black folk like myself who really donât like being called the N word. For some people their religion is a big part of their identity and that should be respected! We all know that itâs a sensitive subject. But itâs wrong to generalize and say âIslamic people are too sensitiveâ is ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
