This is disgusting (Read the whole thing if your going to reply) There's no reason to be offended by the proposal of a religious celebration, no matter how small the minority of the practicers. If none of the given choices represent your feelings, [b]then don't vote.[/b] I'm not saying you have to celebrate or even agree with the celebration of Ramadan but why be offended?... What is there to be offended by? Don't get me wrong, Islamic extremists do horrible things.(check the spoiler) But people don't seem to know how Islamic conservatives and extremist are different than a normal Muslim. I'm not really talking about how religion is incorporated into video games but rather how the community reacts and feels towards groups of people. [b]Some other post:[/b] Title: There should be a Christmas celebration, and are people seriously offended by that? Poll results: [b]95% say Christmas celebration should exist[/b] 3% are standing up for others who are offended 2% are offended [b]This post:[/b] Title: There should be a Ramadan celebration. Poll results: 38% say Ramadan celebration should exist [b]40% are offended by this[/b] 22% are standing up for others who are offended Community: "ew Islam is gross..." *cracks a bombing joke* [i]Example 1[/i]: [quote]Destiny already has a Ramadan event. It's in the golgoroth fight when all the cursed thrall (AKA suicide bombers) come rushing at you.[/quote] [i]Example 2:[/i] [quote]Screw a Ramadan festival that's a stupid idea[/quote] [i]Example 3:[/i] [quote]We already have Cursed thralls and those Damn Harpies in the VOG....Ramadan is celebrated already...LOL[/quote] [i]Example 4:[/i] [quote]Only if they make it so cursed thralls scream "Allahu Akbar"[/quote] [i]Example 4:[/i] [quote]"Islams are a bunch of terrorists" I have the right to voice my own opinions.[/quote] [i]Example 6:[/i] [quote]Bungie is an American company. Islam caused 9/11. Allah is a clown.[/quote] Imagine people talking about your god like that^^ every day. Can other people please see how f[b]u[/b]cked up this is as well? At what age or place is this accepted whatsoever? [b][i][u]A lot of People are uneducated about the Nation Of Islam, So here's the facts:[/u][/i][/b] -the Nation of Islam is a religion -the Nation of Islam did [b]not[/b] do 9/11 -they're actually against violence; they're "motto" is "As Salaam Alakum" meaning "Peace be upon you". -Islam is often seen as a black supremacist group, anti Semitic and a hate group, but it simply isn't. -their beliefs led many African Americans through the civil rights movement(Malcolm X) - their goals are to improve the mental, social, and economic condition of African Americans in the United States and all of humanity. [spoiler]I'm not saying that all Muslims are absolutely peaceful either. Just like their are extremist Christians, there are also extremist Muslims that interpret the bible/Quran in different ways that are seen as inhumane by the general public. Some extremist Christians believe that all gays should die. Some extremist Muslims believe that the sharia (Islamic law) must be enforced in the public sphere by a global Islamic state. Both of these extremist make up a small minority of the whole population of Christians/Muslims. It's wrong to assume that most Christians/Muslims are against basic human rights. I can understand why people don't get these socially-conservative and fundamentalist Muslims though. (Please keep in mind that these particular Muslims only make up a minority). [quote]By fundamentalism, I mean reading the scripture out of context with no reference to history or a holistic view of the world. These Muslim conservatives can sometimes resist progress in human rights, gender equality, and democratic socio-political reforms that are too often heard from these particular Muslims. The universal verses of the Koran (eg 49:13, "O humanity! We have created you from male and female and made you nations and tribes so that you may know each other: the most honoured of you with God are those most God-conscious: truly, God is Knowing, Wise") promote full human equality and leave no place for slavery, misogyny, xenophobia or racism.[/quote] -Dr. Usama Hasan[/spoiler] Many muslims are paying for a crime they didn't commit. [quote]The wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan have taken a tremendous human toll on those countries. As of March 2015, approximately [b]210,000 civilians have died violent deaths as a result of the wars.[/b] People living in the war zones have been killed in their homes, in markets, and on roadways. They have been killed by bombs, bullets, fire, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and drones. Civilians die at checkpoints, as they are run off the road by military vehicles, when they step on a mine or cluster bomb, as they collect wood or tend to their fields, and when they are kidnapped and executed for purposes of revenge or intimidation. [b]They are killed by the United States, by its allies, and by insurgents and sectarians in the civil wars spawned by the invasions.[/b][/quote] -Brown University The religion of Islam is popularly adopted by black inmates because Islam teaches about improving the mental, social, and economic condition of African Americans throughout America. Some African Americans have done something bad, gone to prison, read and learned about the Nation of Islam and it helped them grow to become a better and more educated person. Research Malcolm X, the same thing happened to him. Also, Islam has a great drug addiction rehabilitation system. I'm going to add more later. I do not follow the faith of Islam myself, so please feel free to correct me if I'm incorrect in any areas.

How about we just call it a Holiday festival instead of Christmas

I'd prefer to keep religion out of the game, as well as out of politics... Ooops too late for the later... Anyway, FWC Faction would have problems to stay out of drinking.

Keep religion well away from video games causes enough grief in the real world!!!
