Alhamdu-lillahi, Katthhara Allah kheirak would better fit your example.
Unfortunetely I know enough of islam to know that misinterpratation of the Quran is rampant. You seek ignorance in the wrong place, when you should really seek ignorance into certain interpretations of the Quran. And as I already said, it depends on the context: it's not a secret that Allahu Akbar is also used for much less lofty ideals, and really because of the sounding board made by mass media that Allahu Akbar might be considered offensive outside of its context. Who tells you that the guy who named the corporation is actually muslim? And why would you praise God in a videogame, anyway?
Interpretation of the Qu'ran has NOTHING to do with what we are talking about.
We are talking about YOUR assumption that someone could have no reason for shouting Allahu Akbar in an airport, and the unease it would cause you.
Of course it is not a secret that Allahu Akbar is uttered in the time surrounding a suicide attack. By the perpetrators and the victims.
If both an attacker and a victim use the same expression, to express very different feelings, it is obvious to me that the phrase has no connection to the act.
As for why people bring their religion with them into a videogame? All religious people are crazy, so it is no surprise they can't separate their worlds.
Even if the guy is not a muslim, the term is not offensive by default. It might have negative connotations to some, but the majority of its use is benign.

The west has earned so much more terror than we have received. People shouldn't be surprised people want to put bombs under our asses, we should be surprised that so FEW bombs end up under our asses.
It was recently the 100th anniversary of Sykes Picot, and during the whole century that followed, there has not been a single day where The West was not screwing the middle east.

Well, I can only imagine what means not seeing a drone precision strike at all just a few meters behind you. Still can't understand why some "western" nations have to act like headsmen. It can't be oil.

It's not so much about oil in a way, China will be introducing a new Reserve Currency this year that's backed by gold. The US dollar will be devalued. People are not aware that the dollar has not always been the # 1 Reserve Currency. Countries are taking measures to drop the US dollar as we speak. This can mean a big recession for people that only use US dollars, they are preparing for this also as we speak. I advise people to start self teaching themselves, peace.

the guy shouting Allahu Akbar for no reason is just praising his god or is about to explode.
For no reason. You used an airport in your previous example. So, could he have just seen his wife/child/other close relation who just made it out of a drone strike two days ago in any of the myriad countries that are currently subject to that horror. Or he could have just had a bag dropped on his foot. Or he could have just found out his wife is pregnant. Or he won the lottery. Or he lost his job. Or he found out his wife is dead. Or he found out he has cancer. Just because YOU associate those words with people committing suicide attacks(because of the fearmongering of the media, and your own ignorance of Islam) does not make it so. Your outright refusal to see that is why you are a xenophobe. You don't understand the people that you consider a threat, and you have made no effort to understand. xxwhitedevilxx M wrote: And actually, I'm pretty sure it's not me being xenophobic because I'm really not, but it's more because of those handful of people that uses the exact same words for terrorist attacks. Blame them, don't blame what you call "ignorance".
Why would I blame someone who said something when YOU are the one making garbage associations? Just because you clutch your purse extra tight when someone says something so common as to almost be meaningless doesn't mean that it is a battlecry, as you claimed. It is your incorrect conclusions we are talking about, not someone saying the two most commonly spoken words in arabic. Well he is just being a stereotypical xenophobic Caldari

It makes sense if you knew that the # 1 currency (which currently belongs to the US) is the petro-dollar. It used to be backed by gold. This is why the US government is continuously trying to topple governments and put in their own, it's to resist what in the end will be inevitable.
