tbh, this is going too far from the brit fans. You guys take this shit as funny cause you guys do not face the consequence of such events but a lot of middle east countries take this shit very seriously. Even if Qatar was not this fanatical religious country this is actually a huge L from those brits.
This is what a 0 IQ EU guy living his whole life in privilege looks like.
When people make Nazi jokes, you guys cry.
When there are other racist jokes you guys cry.
But you want to wear a crusade costume to an already conservative middle eastern country and want them to take it as a joke.
This crusade costume looks just as funny as a Hindu Indian wearing clothes with the swastika plastered over his clothes in Germany. Ofc it's normal in India, but you don't do that shit in EU and thankfully most people here are intelligent enough to comprehend that.
This is the epitome of the mindset that the world revolves around me. Those brits were lucky that they were not allowed and simply asked to leave. In a less fortunate scenario, they would probably be beaten up by the crowd and deported immediately.
Your anolagy doesnt exactly work when you consider one of them is a current threat (with nationalist movements across the worlds, including in Germany, being labled as such) while the other is an, considering the debates already going on, absolutely tasteless reference to a 700-year-old conflict.
One activity is banned by law, the other is just purposefully disrespecting local people. Neither are good, but they're nowhere close to each other in severity.
There have been incidents (as far as I'm aware none of them violent or resulting in an arrest) of Hindu symbols being mistaken for swastikas, having lead to multiple (imo unsuccessful) movements trying to make people aware of the differences.
That aside, yes id 100% assume Germans would be unhappy if someone comes to their country constantly making jokes about ww2
Not that I have to assume much there since we're surrounded by countries who didnt exactly lose the war and as such joke much more openly about it xD
Your usage of names just shows how clueless you are about this topic.
Hindu symbols being mistaken for swastikas
The Hindu symbol is called swastika. It's literally a Hindi/Sanskrit word. You guys saw that the Nazi sign and the swastika looked similar and you started calling it the swastika.
Just look at how you instead called the Nazi symbol as the swastika and call the original stuff "hindu symbols". The Nazi swastika is an appropriation of the hindu swastika and you guys are clueless about it.
If you come to India and ask a Hindu to remove this sign from his home or his clothes cause it looks like the Nazi symbol, you will probably be beaten right then and there by a mob probably even though this religious symbol is probably more than 4000 years old or something. Ofc you have never seen this religious fanaticism with your own eyes so I do not expect you to understand 1% of it.
tasteless reference to a 700-year-old conflict
This is a really dumb statement. People forget such things in a few hundred years when you are riding the industrial revolution and your economy is booming while you sleep with full stomachs and heavy wallets.
Most middle eastern countries still retell the stories of that time. The image is still alive in their memories and then you walk in calling it a 700 old incident so just laugh at the jokes we make cause we do not suffer from any consequences of that event.
There is still active Muslim phobia in much of the "Christian" world. Probably comparable to the effects of racism.
You live in a world where Muslims are called terrorists on sight and you want them to forget an incident that literally intended to wipe the existence of Muslims from the world.
One activity is banned by law, the other is just purposefully disrespecting local people.
I am pretty sure public display of any religion apart from Islam is banned by law in Qatar. Did you smoke the grass from your lawn today?
The Hindu symbol is called swastika
You're 100% correct. But in none of the cases im aware of the symbols were swastikas. They were visually similar. The vagueness is due to it being part of an awareness campaign (so referencing multiple incidents in multiple vastly different situations). The phrasing is a direct translation.
Your second paragraph heavily misunderstands that im agreeing with you that it should not be something that happens or is tolerated. Especially since it appears to be directly provocative given the current debates.
(Cutting a good bit here since the example of a debate thats related to this is probably gonna scoot too close to vlr politic rules)
I'm not suggesting that just because its been 700 years its an irrelevant conflict.
I am pretty sure public display of any religion apart from Islam is banned by law in Qatar
That is a fair point if the outfits are perceived as such by local people.
I hadn't even considered it as such, since (at least in the protestant church) the crusades are seen more as a stain in Christianity's history & part of the eternal power struggle of church vs "states" in Europe.
