So I needed to do a quick VOG and I joined a buddy of mine and his friends when one of them says Salam to which I reply Salam as well and ask if he is a Muslim as well but I am then met with a kick. He then messages me, "Go back to your country terrorist" and three of the fireteam members message me. "Allahu Akabar" what the hell? You guys think being uneducated racists is funny? Apparently being Muslim also means being a terrorist nowadays...
Edit 1: Thanks for the support, it's nice knowing they're are some understanding people here
Edit 2: Well, we're trending, thanks everyone for being decent people about this
Edit 3: Fell asleep and woke up to see all these replies, thank you for the support!
Edit 4: I'd like to shine a little light on the subject...
To begin with, I had joined a friend in a fire team of people he knew, I did not. After I was kicked, he messaged me sorry, that's it, just sorry and continued to finish the raid. Furthermore, I do indeed have many other friends I could play with but I really do enjoy the flood of support! Thank you for understanding!
Edit 5: Yep, still trending...
Edit 6: Id like to say I did not think was going to trend nor did I do this for attention. I believe this may have gotten out of control from my original post of me voicing my frustration, I do apologize that be me whining over the Internet won't solve my problems.

Ignorance and large groups don't work well together. Unfortunately, most people don't understand that Muslim does not equal Islamic Extremist. And lack of understanding always breeds fear and contempt, sadly.

1 OdpowiedźEdytowany przez użytkownika Rangefinder: 8/17/2015 4:50:16 PMTo all saying that Muslims believe that they should kill and abuse wives, you're wrong. They believe no one should ever kill. ISIS are not real Muslims. They use religion as an excuse for their actions. The amount of people who don't know and spread false facts is worrying. There are kids on here, teach them the right thing. Before anyone accuses me of anything, I'm non religious.

Firstly it wasnt racist, ignorant yes but racist ?? .. No. Islam is a religion not a race. Frankly thats all I have to say aout this incident. If thats the worse thats been said to you then seriously princess, dry your eyes. I have lived and worked in Muslim countries and been called a "kuffar" and a lot worse regularly but you know what ?? .. who cares. But well played on playing the offended muslim card, how original.

2 OdpowiedziIm muslim too and what i tell ppl is if islam is represented by terrorists why isnt Christianity represented by the KKK? And when they give me a bunch of reason on why it isnt i do the same thing

2 OdpowiedziSorry but Arab is the race not Muslim. And the Cia and other intelligence agencies have said that 1/4 of the world's Muslim population is radical. Think about that....there are 1.57 billion Muslims in the world that means over 350 million are radicals. The US population is only 316 million. Sorry but being booted for not having gally is a more stupid reason.

Im here to see the comments about people talk like the really knew Islam based on what they heard on media and yet they dont study them.

As a side note, if your looking for a good group, check out our group/clan. The Queens Strike Team. We welcome all genders, races, and any other arbitrary "difference" that divides us as human beings.

1 OdpowiedźEdytowany przez użytkownika TraiN-RexX: 8/17/2015 5:00:22 PMI won't get into the whole religion question, but will address the friend question. We were doing a raid months back when we had to wipe a few times (HM VoG). A couple of us (A&B) had all the armor/weapons/experience but the other four were struggling(B,C,D,E). One of the them in particular was dying a lot (D). That's when another one of the four, B, asked us to kick D because he was causing all the wipes by dying. That's when my A friend told the group; you kick my friend D and I am gone. I backed him up and said the same goes for me. B shut up and we soon finished the raid. That's what friends do for each other. You can't account for random jerks in the world, but you can choose your friends.

I'd have to argue that the dumbest reason ever would be something along the lines of: Fire team leader is trying to put on trousers. They fall down and the controller becomes somehow lodged in their rectum. Whilst trying to remove controller from rectum, the necessary buttons are pressed that result in you being kicked. Good try though. It's certainly up there in the lists of stupid things people do.

This was prejudiced not racist. I'm very sorry this happened. People can be real shitty so I suggest you eductate yourself on the difference between bigot and racist to avoid even more idiots.

Don't let dumbasses like them ruin your fun with Destiny. Those idiots don't think about the fact that the majority of muslims don't believe in violence and rather want IS to be gone. If you're on the xbox one you're welcome to invite me to any PvE event if you need help. Gt is NL Helix

Yea it's really terrible how people see Muslims as terrorist which they aren't. It's really sad to see these types of things happening in the world

The player base is rife with ignorant, racist idiots. However, its not really due to the subject of gaming. If you get a scoop of ice cream, the scoop will be if equal constitution to that still left in the original container. That said, what you receiver from those in this specific group are identical to those roaming in the wild. However, they grow artificial digital testicles in this communication group, much like a man cursing at another from the "safety" of his car.

It's sad that you had to experience that sort of blatant stupidity. If I were you I would report them. Stay positive the community has good people in it they just tend to be quieter than the negative/bad people.

3 OdpowiedziI grew up catholic, and had some good friends in high school that were Muslim. This was all before 9/11, and I got to know a lot about their religion. I've always respected it, and it totally sucks that people are so -blam!-ing narrow minded over something they don't know about. These days I don't buy into institutionalize religion. It's just a way to control people. That being said, "many paths lead to the same summit". As long as your a good person, and don't push your beliefs on other people who don't want it, you can believe what you want. Ignorance and hate come in all colors. And some of us are just in the middle of the shit...

Muslim isn't a race... OP is the uneducated POS.

Wow, just when I thought I'd seen it all.

Hey I'm sorry this happened, some people are just plain ignorant. Islam actually has quite a beautiful and spiritual side to it. These "terrorists" are simply extremists who misinterpret the religion. People shouldn't associate terrorism with all Muslims. White Christians have gone on killing sprees, but people don't connect Christianity to terrorism. Islam shouldn't be treated different.

I honestly hate shit like this. people are too -blam!-ing ignorant sorry to hear that happened dude, bigots like that are the ones that should get the -blam!- out of this country
