Today, my son's obsession with memes hit a new low when he got suspended from school for running into other students yelling, "Allahu akbar." He's 15 and doesn't understand why he got in trouble. FML

Did you read the part that said "running into other students"?

Yes, please explain to him that a major chunk of your country is brainless racist so they won't take it in a funny way like he meant.

"Memes" is a weird way of spelling "racism". Have you explained to him what the phrase actually means...?

So is he suspended because the school does not allow religious beliefs to be practiced while at school? Allah Hu Akbar literally translates to God is great. would the school have been similarly harsh if he ran into people and said "God is great" or "Praise the Lord"? was he suspended for running into people? Or was he suspended for not speaking in English? I know a few of my friends were suspended for not speaking in English, and that was here; in India!

I think it is the context and how the phrase has been used in high profile cases. nothing wrong with the phrase itself but yelling it whilst running at people is offensive and could cause panic.

I know the exact same feeling with my boyfriend. He yells allahu akbar everyday no matter where we are. I feel like if we ever get married he won't say i do, he will say allahu akbar.

I don't understand why saying "Allahu Akbar" is so bad. It literally means "Allah is the greatest". :/

tbh the allahu akbar memes aren't so popular anymore, so if this is the rock bottom for him, try at least showing him some real memes
