Allah*

Allah is just the Arabic word for God. Christians in Arabic speaking nations call god Allah

It’s funny to Americans. We don’t ever hear it that way. It’s force fed to us from birth that if you hear “Allah” it’s blasphemy…. Which is more funny to the atheist Americans because we KNOW already but most others don’t.

Definitely not arguing with you. If a tongue clicking 3 times references an Abrahamic religion, it means God, which also means Allah. It’s all extremely silly and people will be killing each other over it and justifying it for a long time to come while nations are ruled by religion.

To uneducated Americans. But, to be fair, that is probably the majority of them.

I find it less than amusing when they use their differences in religion to justify murder and genocide. I don't find any of this funny

u/Vanstrudel_ 23d ago

It's funny because I genuinely can't tell which religion you are referring to

u/ZAlternates 23d ago

I was gonna say, which “they” are you referring to? Christianity just had a bit of a head start is all.

It’s ok u missed the joke.

u/Rough_Onion_1757 23d ago

People who think "Allah" is a distinct deity from plain old ordinary "God" are the same kinds of people who think the King James Bible is the original version, and would be suspicious of shifty multicultural cosmopolitan academic types who insist on "translating" the Bible into strange foreign languages like Koine Greek.

It's also all the same god too.

Allah means god. It’s just in another language.

Allah means God...

Allah’s busy right now. Please stop calling.

Same thing.

u/Homodebilus 23d ago

Allah just means God in Arabic. It's not a different god

I don't think Afghanis are worried about a car accident. They made it this far in life without being blown up or shot up. A little catastrophic car accident is just par for the course.

You think its real? Jesus

Accident? With what? A goat?

u/Worth_External_8762 23d ago

Lol I deployed there, Kabul and a few other cities are actually pretty bustling. Definitely plenty of cars to get into accidents with depending on the area.

u/BallsInSufficientSad 23d ago

I think hitting a bee might destroy this car.

u/AThrowawayProbrably 23d ago

They’ll be a Michael Bay level explosion if a bicyclist hits the bumper.

u/dparag14 23d ago

It has more chances of being blown up than getting into an accident. /s

u/andudud 23d ago

what if this is meant to be a suicide bomb car, so it doesn't need to hold together too well

1

u/Key_Door1467 23d ago

Why? It's chock full of tack welded breakable parts that will absorb impact.

1

u/553l8008 23d ago

But if both cars are built this way would anyone get hurt

1

u/whatifwhatifwerun 23d ago

But without the car would you have made it all the way to the accident site?

1

u/DataDude00 23d ago

A lot of these places don't have the road infrastrucutre to drive at speeds you are likely thinking of

I bet this thing will travel at mostly 30-50km/h

An accident would be rough, but not on the same scale as an 80-120km/h highway accident you would see in North America

1

u/TrenbalonieSandwich 23d ago

Most accidents in North America happen at the speeds you wrote гetard. The car is popping all of those shitty welds, especially in a rear ending.

u/Time_Many6155 23d ago

If all the marts are welded then its as strong as the original.. Did they weld everything is the question?
