i have to agree with everything stated in the text, nicki minaj says in one of her songs "asalamu alaykom who the fuck is akbar, give him my keys tell him park my car"
asalamu alaykom in arabic is basically a greeting, and then she says who the f*** is akbar, akbar is a respectful way to say god, the she follows it by insulting him by referring to him as a vallet.
i dont think she meant any harm, i think Nicki Minaj just meant it as a joke or she really didnt put much thought into it, but even though i am not a muslim, i understand fully how it can be insulting to islam and muslims/arabs, or basically just anyone who believes in god because akbar means god, and many religions believe in god so i believe it is insulting to them all dont you think?
because many people who are religious respect god fully and their faith keeps many people going through hard times, and seeing someone so effortlessly insulting their most respected figure, could be seen as very rude.
something i agree with something said in particular "don't think it is appropriate for her to put such line in her song." basically saying that its okay for her to have her own opinions, just that she shouldn't advertise her negative thoughts if she knows that many people will be offended by it.
another statement i agree with was "the line where she says "give'em my keys tell'em valet my car" can possibly means? From what I understand it can means 2 things. First she is referring Akbar to a person who work at valet parking, which illustrates that muslim is not doing well in life and work for other richer people like her. " it took me a while to understand this line in the song and i think it was very well explained here, and i think this just shows how disrespectful some people get when they are introduced to all the fame and money, i agree fully with everything stated in this article and i believe that people should keep their opinions to themselves.
