Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I am very happy for Muslims to talk about their ilah. But when they say Allah, they are choosing to say the other gods are fake for no reason. We could be having a completely unrelated conversation about, say, Ramadan, and the Muslim just has to say "by the way your gods are fake" in a single word just to be an asshole. It's rude. It's mean. It's unnecessary.
I think a lot of people downvoted my comment because they don't understand Arabic etymology and they think I'm being Islamophobic. But this isn't about Islam, it's about the way many Muslims choose to talk about every other religion. And yes, many Muslims don't know the etymology of the word either. Which is why they should be educated and told to do better. Allah is a slur. We should make it clear it's not acceptable to say in polite company.
I also hate it when Christians choose to use "god" as a proper noun. I've got in lots of fights with people on Lemmy about that.
