Hold up. What makes you think he doesn’t like Mohammad just because he’s Muslim? He might have very good reasons to not like him! Like, what if he’s a terrorist, or something?
It’s hardly missing the point if people don’t regularly go on sickipedia. That site is so pathetic now i don’t blame most people for not going and wasting their time there.
Don’t fall for the mistake of believing that just because you waste hours of your days on that garbage website that everybody else does, and they just didn’t put 2 and 2 together.
Although the majority is muslim, Turkey is a secular country very different from Saudi Arabia or Iran or Iraq or Indonesia… There can be no comparison between those.. Women have all the rights in Turkey.
Turkey is not an Arab nation. There are many racial groups there, mainly from central asia. Iran is not an arabic nation. The peoples there are mainly Persian.
ummm…honey, I’m a Turk.
And we speak TURKISH, not Arabic.
We’re not Arabs.
Nothing against them, but they’re two different languages.
Iranians speak Farsi and they’re not Arabs either, so you just failed.
It’s sarcasm, bro. When Americans think of Islam, they usually picture somebody from those Middle East nations who don’t like us. Yet the three nations with the largest Muslim population are Indonesia, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, all in South Asia. The first two are close U.S. allies, and Bangladesh is at least moderately friendly, and is the second-largest contributor of troops to the U.N., right behind Pakistan.
and only Arabs are Muslims, right?
I think if your name is Mohammad it’s a pretty good indicator that your parents are Muslim, just like if your name is Jesus I’m going to guess your parents are Christian.
woa! wait! what makes you think all muslims are terrorists? the only thing i see that United nations’s security council is the REAL terrorists (except china, for disagreement with certain aggressions)
Aw, crap. I forgot about that vote we took on whether to go to war, and every citizen who was of age had to vote, and we couldn’t go to war unless it was unanimous…
The spelling of jewelry suggests the person is North American, so either a US citizen or a Canadian.
If they were British, Australian, New Zealander, South African or one of the other majority English-speaking countries, they would likely spell the word as jewellery.
Of course, this is not total proof because Failbook constantly shows us how people fail to spell simple words correctly, let alone those with multiple accepted spellings.
Canadians use a mix of American and British forms for words such as armour, which Americans changed. So it’s more likely an American than a Canadian… if we consider it isn’t a typo/mistake
Thanks for that. I do find those sorts of language differences interesting and I was not aware of that about Canadian English.
Fun fact: the words music and magic both used to be spelt with a k on the end, until Noah Webster’s simplified American dictionary removed the k and both those words were modified in all but archaic uses of the words.
Or, it was just the dad saying that he doesnt want his daughter dating. *rolls eyes* Probably has nothing to do with discrimination. btw americans rarely call thrift stores “charity shops”.
Um, this comment most likely did NOT come from an American. Americans don’t typically use the words “charity shop.” That sounds more like a Brit to me.
Also, perhaps the folks on here don’t understand that some people actually wish their children to find mates who share their religion. Rather than dating men who want to cover them in veils, disallow driving, treat them like second-rate citizens and ultimately stone them to death.
Broomhilda: i’m an american… and also a muslim. the muslim women in my community aren’t covered in veils, are allowed to drive, are treated like all the other citizens in the country, and are not stoned to death. get yourself an edumacation
My best friend is married to a Muslim, named Mohammed. They have a son over a year old. She is a strong, independant atheist. And they are in a very loving, understanding relationship.
The sheer number of racits stereotypes on this thread show that, it doesn’t really matter what country you are from or in, anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia are worldwide problems.
Actually in original Islam, women have more rights than man.
And I can’t see why u have a problem with covering your wife. In Islam You shouldn’t cover the whole body. Those ninjas(Yes, even we, as Muslims call them Ninja/Zorro.) are just wearing their traditional Arabic dress. I mean my wife is my wife. I should enjoy her. Not anyone else. Islam doesn’t disallow driving. It actually says that men should drive and women sit & enjoy.
stoning is a bit harsh, in my opinion, but it strengthens the family. They do it when FOUR witnesses report a man and a woman (who are not married) having sex. Four witnesses. you can never get that much witnesses unless you are doing it in the street. U as a single man may not like this, but millions of married men love it.
Ummm…where the heck did it say that men drive and women whould sit and enjoy?
They didn’t have cars back then…..and in relation to horses, the Prophet Mohammad actually ordered parents to teach their daughters how to hunt and swim and ride horses.
Yes, I’m a Muslim.
I’m (relatively) fine with the dress and the driving, in the name of religious freedom, but since when did killing someone in a brutal manner ever strengthen a family? Is your contention really that “millions of married men”, and by extension, millions of married women, are better off with the threat of a painful and public death looming over them? Completely aside from whether or not such a punishment is justified, you make the point that one could “never” obtain four witnesses to an act of adultery barring roadside fornication. This argument relies on the assumption that false testimony does not occur. Were four people to claim that your wife had committed adultery, would you willingly surrender her to the crowd? Would you cast the first stone?
Ouch.. this kinda breaks your point..
Mr. Kraut above may not be very witty but this comment just makes me cringe with the sheer dumbassness of it. It’s offensive. More than the one before.
No… the joke pretty much ended at that… your part just makes no sense… the dad didn’t tell the girl he was kicking her out, he just said that’s what he understood by her saying she was going out with “Mohammad”
The only fail here is the presumption of hate. Perhaps her parents know and understand the established danger of mixed-faith relationships and, inferring from the name, also understand the additional dangers for women who date men that follow the teachings of Mohammad.
Oh but lets not bring rational thought into this discussion. Instead lets oversimplify the matter just to get a cheap laugh.
“established danger” = “the hate I have received from my elders”
“inferring from the name” = “utilizing deep-seated prejudice”
“rational thought” = your cover story and how you sleep at night. You shouldn’t. Get unnerved and do some serious thinking.
Not everyone whose name is Mohammed (or Ahmed or Abdul) is automatically an Arab. And only 20% of Muslims in the world are Arabs.
So your argument about mixed-faith relationships is basically invalid.
His argument is invalid, but not for the reasons you specified. You have a point, but all you proved was that he might not be an Arab. The arguments made about mixed-faith relationships are “true” to the people who make them, regardless of whether or not this one instance is a case of that or not.
Yeah let’s just say that all the people with a Muslim name are Muslims, that all the Muslims are sexists (it’s well known that the other religions respect women and give them the same rights as men), that someone’s name is so big deal that it could be a danger to a relationship, and that you can know that a person is a danger just by knowing their name.
People, face it. If we are assuming that Mohammad is Muslim (which chances are, he probably is), then the father would have ample reason to be a bit mad (unless of course he was mad simply out of spite or racism). Muslim men living in highly religious Muslim countries, have a high tendency not to treat their women very well. And that’s not me generalising, that’s me referring to conversations I have had with ex pat middle easterners.
I’m not saying this is true of ALL of them, heck I’m friends with a couple really lovely Muslims. But if the only Muslims or middle easterners that this man ever came into contact with were religous fanatics, men who beat their wives religiously, and generally just violent examples, then who can blame him? Sometimes it’s not about racism, it’s about a (sometimes ignorant) fear of the culture… I suppose it’s similar to the way many of you generalise to all Christians, saying they are all horrible hypocritical bible bashing zealots. Although some certainly are, and they may be the only ones you have encountered, they are not a true representation of all Christians, very few of the ones I know are like that. It’s always the minority that give the majority a bad name.
So maybe you should look at yourselves and our own fearful or arrogant stereotyping, before you start calling other’s out as being ignorant and discriminitive.
Ok, i appreciate that at least you’re trying make a rational and measured argument, but:
First of all (and actually this is addressed to all the other commentators not you) yes we can assume that Mohammed is Muslim or Arabic because that is the nature of the ‘joke’ – it’s clearly being made by a bigot that intends it to mean someone who is Muslim.
Ok, now: You argue that the father has ample reason to be mad because many muslims in a few muslim states treat women poorly, and then almost directly afterwards point out that you can’t stereotype everyone in a religion due to a few fanatics – heed your own advice.
On a lesser note; you assume that it’s a good thing that a father should be able to punish his daughter for her choice of boyfriend without hearing her side of the story. I find it kind of horrible that parenting that doesn’t respect the rights and choices of the children (to a certain extent of course) is lauded here.
Oh also, you use the old saying ‘don’t get me wrong, heaps of my friends are (insert race, colour, religion or sexual orientation being discriminated against)’ – careful of it, even if you’re not, it’ll make you seem incredibly racist.
Sooo the not making my own “fearful or arrogant stereotypes” based on the minority who give the majority a bad name is something I have to do about Christians but you don’t for Muslims?
I refer you to; “So maybe you should look at yourselves and our own fearful or arrogant stereotyping, before you start calling other’s out as being ignorant and discriminitive.”
And you know what, I am going to cover all my bases here, I am going preempt you response and denial and point out your hypocrisy now;
“If we are assuming that Mohammad is Muslim (which chances are, he probably is)” – opinion based on what? Maybe it is just the minority giving the majority a bad name?
“Muslim men living in highly religious Muslim countries . . .” – Well, this was in English, kinda suggests to me maybe not from one of those clearly barbaric countries where everyone must be just like those bad apples we see in the media.
“. . . heck I’m friends with a couple really lovely Muslims.” + “. . . and they may be the only ones you have encountered, . . .” – well if you think we are judging people based on those we have encountered, why not try doing the same thing yourself? But to a positive effect, give Muslim people the benefit of the doubt, based on those you know?
I agree with you on the point about the father being ignorant and prejudiced, as my own dad is the same, there is no changing some peoples mind, but there is no reason to defend their ignorants, it should be discourage until we can finally raise a generation free of the shortcomings of their forefathers.
really? You’re all going to get this worked up over a joke? You realise this never actually happened right, therefore the Mohammad in question is in fact Muslim, as he is made up and it’s part of the joke…. -_-
FYI, all of what you just wrote is pretty much a definition of hate and racism. Hating arabs because of some crazy guys you’ve seen on Fox News is racism. Hating Christians because of a fanatic minority cannot be racism of course, but is pretty much the same.
Well, I’m glad to inform you that you are a racist and a hater.
Just reread what I posted, and not happy with that. I don’t know you, and by default I have no reason to think you ACTUALLY are a racist and a hater. Sorry for that. I was only underlining the contradiction in your post. What you state to be OK and understandable is actually simple racism and hate.
My first thought was that many dads don’t want their daughters to start dating anyone. The assumption that it was because of the boyfriend’s name is definitely a fail. Why do people want to find racism so badly in a situation where we really don’t know if it exists?
Until I read your comment I thought that the status was just a joke, the major part of which was the name.
I’m glad that you set me straight and I know that it was written with total sincerity.
Your entire post is absolutely ridiculous. Again, if the man called Muhummad is muslim, it *still* doesn’t mean that he is extreme and will hurt or endanger her in any way. If he’s willing to date outside his religion, that probably indicates he’s a bit more open-minded.
Also I have no idea what “established dangers” of mixed-faith relationships there could possibly be, unless it’s from people like you and the OP on facebook.
Presumption of hate? He said he’d throw her out into the street with nothing. I don’t think it gets much more hateful. And following your “logic,” how is that less dangerous than her DATING someone?
STFU nerd! Your comment makes me laugh! “Teachings of Muhammad”? Who ARE you to say that???!! If you think your so right, here’s what you do: get off your ‘righteous’ ass; go to the nearest mosque(doesn’t matter WHERE you live, there will be one); go to the imam(leader), and ask him about Islam. When you have learned everything there is about Islam and you can say that you’re still correct, come back and tell me.
i think you might just be presuming almost hateful things also Mr!
i hope ..one day ..like the person who wrote that silly status learn that not all muslim men are dangerous ,…theres bad people everywhere and theres lovely people everywhere too …oh and for the record ,im muslim but not arab
My dad just said “hey I’m a giant racist douche who doesn’t have the brain power to understand why my daughter would be interested in somebody from a culture different then mine, I also have a small penis and every night secretly stop by the truck stop to blow other racist morons” actually he didn’t quite put it like that…
Speaking of correcting people’s typing… you should learn the difference between “than” and “from” before accusing people of not knowing the difference between “than” and then”.
There’s a million ways to write that name. Mohammed, Mohammad, Mahmud, Mahmod, Muhammad, Muhammed, Ahmad, Hamid, Mahomet… All of these are pretty common in muslim societies. Just as the most popular names in christian societies are those of saints or others who were significant. John, Patrick, Peter, Paul and Mary… and the list goes on.
Don’t halloo till you’re out of the wood, I´m froma catholic country: back in school, our teachers got stuck with 11 (eleven) guys named Martin in just one class. And I´d to give the Annas and Katharinas in my cellphone numbers or nick names to keep them apart.
That’s interesting, I don’t know anyone named Martin or Katharina and I only know one Anna, and I went to a Catholic school for twelve years :p We’re probably (obviously) from different countries…
Then again, the numbers of Matts, Jessicas, and Alexs are staggering.
It’s ridiculous how many Seans (Shawn/Sean/Shaun/etc.) there are. I honestly cannot go anywhere without hearing my name being called out only to find it directed to yet another one of us. ><
He not only can be that stupid, he can be that stupid within a fiery halo of self-righteousness that a Roman Catholic inquisitor would find hard to match.
Thank you, cebus. It’s true that I am very much like a slightly stoned naked mole rat.
I was kidding, you guys, about harassing people on facebook. I don’t really have any interest in doing that type of thing. But I am a little weirded out by the sort of jump in logic that made you decide that my comment was some sort of ironic display of hatred and bigotry.
Oh I see. You only want to go harass people on facebook that you LIKE.
First, I don’t actually believe you. Second, you don’t say “aha, just kidding” and then simultaneously ask why someone got upset back when you were ostensibly serious.
Third, if there’s any bigoted thing being said on any thread about whites, christians, or rednecks you’re either the one doing it, cheering the person on, or trying to outdo him elsewhere in the thread. So yeah, a person who doesn’t share your prejudices might notice.
We know. Ryan Waxx is illiterate if he didn’t hear that in your original post.
I can rephrase it for him. “I am tolerant of all kinds of beliefs, but when they violate generally accepted societal norms I’m happy to step in and say something. When a better path is taught in schools and reinforced by employment practices and laws in the American workplace, and straying from it can get public officials fired, I’ll reinforce the message to the offending person.”
He said: “Normally I’m against harassing people who show up on failbook but for David Duke here I’d make an exception.”
He DID NOT say: “I am tolerant of all kinds of beliefs, but when they violate generally accepted societal norms I’m happy to step in and say something. etc etc etc”
The two are not equal. So, you were talking about illiteracy? As in, “not being able to read?” Because you’re qualifying.
Sarcasm – n. , A form of humor that is marked by bitter mockery, often using irony, and sometimes conveyed in speech with vocal over-emphasis. With irony, it is insincerely saying something positive which is obviously the opposite of one’s intended, cruel meaning. On the other hand it may be a direct taunt where the jibe means exactly what it says. Usually meant to create verbal irony.
Now, you know the definition and therefore have no excuse. There is no bigotry here, only sarcasm.
It’s a fail. It’s from Facebook. It meets requirements. There are like 40 other failbook-esque websites, go find one if this one offends you so much. Or sit here commenting all day, that seems to be the style.
As George P below me sez, jokes are NOT usually funny. Racist jokes are funny to racists. I think it’s highly probable that this is this asshat’s idea of a joke, and he does find it funny to hate members of another race and/or religion.
Just because it isn’t funny doesn’t mean it was meant seriously. For all we know, the family has no problem with her boyfriend at all and the mom was just kidding around.
I think that you just might be right…I have trouble believing that people can actually live up to racist stereotypes. I always thought (or hoped) that they were exaggerated.
I remember fondly my former boyfriend Mohammed. He is Libyan and returned to Libya over 20 years ago after finishing Uni here. I am just glued to the news at the moment hoping that he, his family and my other Libyan friends from back then are safe and soon to be liberated from the evil dictatorship. And yes, the poster is a racist jerk.
You guys are pathetically uptight. Whether he was joking or not doesn’t directly affect any of your lives. get over it already. I’m not racist and I laughed and now I will go on with my day because its a STATUS ON FACEBOOK.
Hey by that logic I may as not subject myself to the internet at all, or any media, or anyone else’s opinion, as none of it directly affects my life.
May as well not get out of bed tomorrow, avoid having to formulate an opinion on all those things that don’t affect me. I’m not going to flip out because of this status, but doesn’t mean I am not going to treat this forum any differently to any other communication. I will point out ignorance and its stupidity no matter where it is.
That’s too bad that you think that it doesn’t directly affect any of our lives… because it does. Racism is a very big deal all over the world. It allowed for the foundation of the Holocaust (to name a very prominent, well known one), and basically most of the heavy conflict between many countries in the middle east and the US and within them as well.
This prejudice could easily lead to the encampment of all Arab-Americans or Middle Eastern- Americans in the US. Remember WW2?
So I guess I’m pathetically uptight, but I really don’t want to find out the result of all of this racism.
If you read the status, ‘Dad’ has never before met Mohammad, and instantly hates every fibre of his being because of his race, and you seem to be attempting to justify that.
Hmm, interesting.
homo sapien is the species, Arab (or Asian or Indian, ~62% of all Muslims are from outside the Middle East and north Africa, and some of the highest concentrations are in the Asia-Pacific area and the Indian Subcontinent. Hell, he could be an Arab christian who just has a traditionally Muslim name, ~1/10 Arabs are Christians.
The post doesn’t specify that the dad got his hate on because of his race (presumably Arab) or his religion (presumably Muslim).
By the way, even in academic circles it’s accepted that the human species can be subdivided into different races.
In fact in medicine it’s sometimes even necessary: being black gives you a pre-disposition to have sickle cell anemia. The more you know~
Thank you, I know this. It is of course quite obvious that humankind is divided in different subspecies with hereditary attributes like almond eyes or the pigmentation of the skin. There are many more attributes which are not openly visible, by which people can be divided into different groups (for example the ability to roll the tongue into a round form, a bit like a drinkind straw). But I am not sure “Arab” is, genetically speaking, a biological race in itself. This should be researched properly, before assumptions are made – on my part as well. (But this being the internet, and failblog at that…)
Also, in that tale, I assume the father being anti-muslim rather than anti-Arab, because a) the english-speaking world acts rather hysterical about anything muslim, so the joke would be stronger and b) Mohammad is a stereotypical name for a muslim, while “Farhad” or “Fatih” (two Arab names I know) would sound less obvious “muslim” to the reader. I mean, in a joke, everyone always goes for the safest version for maximum understanding. But that doesn’t really matter, because anti-arab would be euqally bad as anti-muslim.
There’s a great French comedy in the cinemas here at the moment [with Kad Merad, "L'Italien"], in which an Algerian illegal Immigrant to France poses as being of Italian descent [and gets into trouble when is ailing father asks him to do ramadan, which clashes with his Italian, and supposedly christian behaviour pattern]. What I mean to say is that, generally, people from Arabian countries may very well look like people from Italy, Greece, Spain or other southern European places, which, in my eyes, leaves the “race” option in OP’s story void.
I was using the term “race” colloquially, not scientifically, but I admit that I assumed the bloke who made the joke meant Muslim = Arab. WHich, to be fair, is more than likely.
Arab isn’t a race, it’s a language. People in North Africa speak Arabic, and to the north in places like Syria and Lebaon (where they’re much lighter) they speak Arabic as well.
And of course most Middle Easterners look like they coud be Spanish or Italian! We’re from around the Mediterranean . . . typical tannish skin/dark hair and eyes setup
It doesn’t say any place that Dad never met Mohammad before, for all you know Dad may work with Mo, go to church with Mo..
It just says it’s her new Bf.
No one would ever say “This is my new boyfriend, a guy you’ve already met” it just doesn’t make contextual sense. “This guy is my new boyfriend”, maybe.
No, I think FM was pointing out that we’re ALL assuming Dad has a problem with the boyfriend because of his race and/or religion, simply because of what his name is, when it isn’t specified in the post. It’s implied, yes, but only slightly.
I wouldn’t either. That’s I reject all suitors who believe in imaginary gods in the sky. If you’re that gullible, you can obviously be talked into all kinds of stupid things, like suicide bombings or Creationism.
I agree.. I wouldn’t want my kid sisters with a terrorist either. And how would you know he’s’ a terrorist? Not like he’s or she would come in wearing a Tshirt claiming.. Hide Yer Kids.. I’m a Terrorist.
I’m sure your family will think of you well and tell cautionary tales to their children of their mad uncle/aunt when they take you off to Gitmo. Wonder if it depends at which airport in which country.
There is a high chance that he is Muslim, judging by the name. Wouldn’t that make him automatically a terrorist? At least, the leaflets of the Homeland Security Office mentioned that once or twice
Okay, let’s pretend for a second that this isn’t racist. Let’s pretend that he’s just mad that his daughter is dating.
He should be glad that she was not only willing to TELL him that she has a boyfriend, but she was willing to bring this boy home for him to meet. And, the boy was willing to do it. He can’t be all bad.
If you add the racial factor back in, and let’s assume the daughter knows how her dad feels about her dating (what we assume is) a Muslim young man. Either this is the dumbest rebellion ever (because it will definitely result in the young man getting hurt) or she really likes this boy, and he’s really brave and a stand-up kid for coming to meet her family. Either way, the dad isn’t making his life any easier by freaking out. If you make your kids feel awful, especially through some kind of bigotry, you stand a good chance of losing them.
Oh stop being so politically correct people its just a joke! Mohammed is the most popular name in the world, I cant see any reference to race in the post, can you?
Precisely… it’s a joke and the daughter really wants to tell her dad that she’s pregnant with another mans child.. or running away to become a body piercing artiste with the circus.
That would be a bit like gilding the lily. I like to think she’s going to run away to the circus and compete with the woman who has the worlds records of body piercings. If you are going to give your dad a heart attack that would be a good start.
Hey Failblog, this one is disgusting. Is this the kind of humor of dumb Americans, having learnt nothing from the events of the past years? Congratulations. You’re discriminating against battered people.
I know it’s fun to pretend that you have some sort of weird moral upperhand by being “not American”, but it looks like you should work on your basic reading comprehension before you get too smug. Start with the title, then check the post tags. Then read a few comments. It will come to you eventually.
If I may ask, do you experience much prejudice because of this? I have no idea how Americans react to muslims in everyday life. Over here (Germany) we of course only get the peaks of what gets media attention in the US, which is far away from everyday life… (Which also has an upside, nobody here ever heard of Rebecca Black or Snooki! Better life ftw!!)
First, any who say this is racist #FAIL at life. Since Muhammed is common for Muslims (a religion, not a race) you cannot be racist by hating Muslims.
Moreover, you bunch of failers, it isn’t bigoted to not want your daughter to date someone of a different faith. If you actually believe in yours, that is…
So if I meet this guy named Joseph I will assume he’s Christian because it’s a popular name with Christians? If his name is David then he is Jewish? Same logic…
P.S. I’ve watched how the Muslims in my med school treat their girlfriends and wives. It’s the international version of a trailer park. No way would I want my daughter dating a man whose firm belief is that he pwns her.
Do you know anything about Islam at all? Both the Bible and the Torah contain many more examples of misogyny than the Koran. The men you mentioned may treat their wives or girlfriends badly, but that’s far more likely to be for cultural than religious reasons.
Yes indeed they will treat you like a queen as long as you are dating. On the other hand, the story takes a 180 degrees turn once you are married.
I’m not generalizing; not everyone is the same. However as someone who grew up in the middle east I have seen way too many examples of the life before and after marriage. What can I tell you… not a pleasant memory.
anyways personally i think this post is hilarious, i actually laughed out loud and so did my mom.
I’ve had several muslim boyfriends during my life. What they all share in common is that they all treated me better than the guys of other faiths/cultures I’ve dated/lived with. You’ve seen a few guys treat their spouses badly and have made the assumption that this is automatically because they are muslim. But I’m willing to bet, that even if I would show you thousands of cases where a christian man (of any nationality) has mistreated his wife/gf, you wouldn’t make that same accusation. Do you get my point?
i love failbook for the sake of humor .. i’m quiting today .. i really don’t take this as a joke , how is it funny ?? u guys accept gay etc but not muslim ?? i am a muslim and i love muhammad saw. i’ll never make joke about moses or jesus b’cos my religion teach me if i ever make fun about any of them i’ll be a bad muslim and will be going to hell , making jokes about other religions is haram for muslim .. how is it ok to make fun oh muhammad ?? i know some of u may think that i am over reacting , this is my way of saying jokes has limit to it . with all due respect , assalamualaikum .
I think you’re misinterpreting the post. The idea is that the person who posted this on Facebook is a racist fail, not that the joke is funny or true. We’re laughing at the dad for being a bigoted moron.
some peeps need to lighten up, its a joke! Plus the point of the joke is that you dont know the race and you thinking its racist means u stereotype the name to islam. I think it’s quite funny, I have and asian mate back at home who would love this might send it to im
You can’t help but link the name to Islam. I haven’t come across any non muslims by the name of Mohammed. I saw what I thought could be a joke, but as I didn’t see any reply for so called ‘Dad’ it is easy to think the Dad is a racist. Just subsitute the name for a Jewish one, Buddhist etc and then see if it still would be taken as ‘non racist’.
ummm, this is the one name in the world that is not common to ANY other belief system so then name isn’t the stereotype, its the assumption that someone with the name would be someone undesirable to date for the daughter based on the stereotype associated with the name
This reminds me of a joke my dad played on my grandmum. He told her that my boyfriend was black. She literately FREAKED OUT, cried, and tried to lecture me. It was a huge overreaction.
I don’t know how people can dislike another race so much. I just don’t get it. My grandmother was so upset that she was going to have ‘oreo great grandchildren’ and didn’t even consider my love.
OMB!! That reminds me of when my family met my now husband! My dad assumed he’s black or mixed because he’s dark-skinned. My dad didn’t have a problem with it, but he told other people so they wouldn’t be shocked when they met him. My entire family thought my husband was black; no one said anything to me about it until I found out and had to straighten it out. Lol.
….. and that’s how shallow we have become… we “think” he is black… had they never seen him? I assume they had and he’s just got a tan skin. So if he were the same color of skin but had black parents, he’d be black. And you family needs warning because they’d be “shocked”…. i am amazed.
“Oreo” is a disparaging term used by blacks to denigrate blacks that “act white” (black on the outside, white on the inside). It’s also used against black politicians and public figures that have the “wrong” set of beliefs like SC Justice Thomas or Bill Cosby.
At least learn something about race relations before you create a fictional account of racism so that you can be the most fashionable girl on the block.
Cool. There are a lot of ways to refer to it that aren’t mean-spirited.
And that’s the way we are ALL headed eventually… races don’t un-mix, so it’s a guarantee that at some point everybody’s children will be a swirl, so you’d better get used to it now.
Or not. History will run over the fools stupid enough to try and hold it back.
So you automatically assume that her grandma – who obviously isn’t the sharpest knife in the box – would use every word correctly? And if she supposedly doesn’t, it’s a fake story?
Psst. The supposed storyteller made no indication that she realized it was the wrong term. Far more likely, when she created the story she simply applied her own misunderstanding to the fake quote.
I know you’re desperate for an excuse, but simply imagining a possibility into place as opposed to basing it on what the poster actually wrote is a FAIL.
Do you have problems comprehending things when you read them? Use that little brain of yours and think about it, the post was in fact ironic and hateful.
Hmm… my comments with absolutely no swear words and the same buzz words everyone else is using like racism and Muslim and the like seem to be placed under moderation for severely long periods of time. I looked at another post of mine that’s being moderated… for four days. I’m starting to turn into Paranoid Parrot that the Fail network doesn’t appreciate my no nonsense, blunt take on human nature.
This will appear twice, but my delusional rants don’t seem to make it to the boards sometimes. My comments with absolutely no swear words and the same buzz words everyone else is using like racism and Muslim and the like seem to be placed under moderation for severely long periods of time. I looked at another post of mine that’s being moderated… for four days. I’m starting to turn into Paranoid Parrot that the Fail network doesn’t appreciate my no nonsense, blunt take on human nature.
The fail here is everyone talking “Race”. Islam is a religion. I’m as white as a sheet & have blue eyes but I’m Muslim (I chose the religion, didn’t choose my race). And I know many white guys named Mohammad, they either chose the name after converting or their white Muslim parents named them that as its a considered a blessing to do so.
No religion was mentioned in the original post. It could just as well have been the so called “race” with the most Mohammmads that he was prejudiced against.
“I’ll include this under racism when I find a strict Muslim family that would gladly welcome their son to dating a white blonde non Muslim girl. Or… let’s up the ante… Jewish”
Sure, because racism is only racist when it’s reciprocated.
Realistically, it doesn’t matter what the guy’s name is. All the daughter really had to say for the dad to hear that was, “This is my new boyfriend.” =P
I agree with this. The joke would be funny if they omitted the name entirely, but they went and inserted an ethnic/religious/whatever name and made it about bigotry.
I agree with Justice. “Racism” seems to be a new ‘it’ word being thrown around the internet. Political correctness be damned. But that’s just my two cents.
Justice, you seem to be confused on the difference between racism and culture clash. Call us when her family disowns your wife (note the very different stakes in the original post). Until then spare us your crying.
I won’t expect you to see the prejudice in the original post either.
I don’t think the issue is about her having a BF. If it were, he could’ve just left it at “Dad, this is my new boyfriend”. Instead he felt he needed to disclose the boyfriend’s name, to show why he thinks he needs to take such extreme action :-/
So apparently all the men on the planet who are named Mohammed are Muslim now. It is totally impossible for ANY of them to have come from religious parents but not be religious themselves, amirite?
Oh my god, this racist father is such a racist! How does he dare worry that her daughter’s boyfriend, who comes from a culture widely known to abuse women, might not be a decent guy??? What a racist!
Oh and white people: stop trying to protect other cultures from what you believe is racism. All the decent Muslim guys I met were highly critical of their own culture and admitted without any shame that Muslim cultures were very abusive of women, which they strongly disapproved of.
Also, they can defend themselves if they feel like it, they aren’t weak inferior beings who need the superior white man to protect them.
(And I’m white too).
Finally, parents always worry about their children’s partners. If this guy’s daughter was dating an American, he might worry that the guy could be a vegetarian, promiscuous, too lazy to find a job… You pick.
Grow up, look at what the real world is like and stop living in the dream-world the media is trying to sell you.
Love the fail: “All the decent Muslim guys I met were highly critical of their own culture”. I think you’re missing the point that the boyfriend could easily be one of those decent guys, but the father doesn’t allow for that. This is called prejudice, and it’s supposed to go away as you meet more and more “decent” people from a culture. We’ll wait for you to catch up.
Omg guys replace the name Muhammed with the name John or Brent or Alex or something. It’s not a racial/religious thing. I know a man named Muhammed after his dad liking Muhammed Ali the fighter and he is neither Muslim nor from the Middle East. The fact that you ALL played the race card on this post is a FAIL.
Stop creating hate where none exists. Dad just doesn’t like his daughter dating.
Some peoples need to stop trying to defend the asshat.(if it was simply a copied joke, good.If it was a person that really meant this as a ”joke”, meh) Enough with the crazy theories : hmm maybe mohammed is just an irish catolic arian jew. It doesn’t mean anything. for god’s sake. it cannot be interpreted in any other way.
I take it no one here has ever heard the stories about women who married Muslim men, then after marriage went back to “visit” his family and was never allowed to come back to America or even contact their family again, but leaving their husband with an American passport? No?
Maybe it’s not really common, but it doesn’t mean it’s not true. Just because it relates to a certain ethnic group doesn’t mean it’s not true. Too many people nowadays are too fast to yell “racism” and never think that there are real reasons out there to be wary of the way some people believe (and I mean that in general, not just towards Muslims).
You assume that Muhammad is of a different culture. It’s entirely possible that he was given a traditional name to honor a family member, but raised in American culture.
not all Arabs are Muslims actually Christianity started there and Muslims do use the name Abraham Turks are mostly Muslims and this talking is what give those stupid airheads who call them self Muslim like alqaida a base for there ideas
All these Morality Police making sure that everyone knows how enlightened they are by rushing to condemn any and all disrespect of non-christian religions are a drag, eh?
I just love parents attempts at humor especially when their equally dull friends nudge them on to keep it up. They are real cards, real office cut-ups to say the least, and I am. Mohommy should blow that house up on principle, I mean introducing him to her parents instead of blowing him in a dark alley? Where are these kid’s heads at?
This is not about racism or xenophobia. The “joke” revolves around the name Mohammad. The major defining characteristic of the name is not race or nationality, but religion. I think that this is a safe assumption at the two sigma level. Thus it is clear that this parent has an irrational fear of religion. Did I say irrational, I clearly meant rational.
I have a friend named Mohammed. He’s a Christian. (His mother was Christian, his father was Muslim.) Apparently Africans don’t see anything unusual about Muslims and Christians intermarrying.
Maybe she is just too young to date? Why jump to the conclusion it was because of his name and not consider that maybe she is simply not allowed to have a boyfriend?
In post-9-11 America? It’s not jumping to conclusions. Americans are THIS paranoid about everyone who they deem “different.”
And Mohammed is well-educated, forget it. Most Americans don’t like smart people either. Look at the war Repig governors are waging against teachers and education….and the way the right still defends DUMBya.
I hate it how every one seems to be required to be sarcastic when they say something. It wears out sarcasm and verbal irony to the point of making it meaningless. Just because you say the opposite of what you mean doesn’t mean you are clever or correct. Ease up a little and you won’t come off as such a condescending prick, Ryan Waxx, Derek, and many others.
Wow, just wow at all the comments saying that this has to do with racism – It’s completely a parental thing, as soon as a child brings home a boyfriend/girlfriend this is immediately what the parents think…. In all honesty the name Mohammad could be replaced with Bob as I doubt very much this reaction had anything to do with what race/religion etc the boy is. The dad will immediately be against this relationship purely on the grounds that another “man” is trying to take the attentions of his child away.
We have enough racism in the world, no need to see it where it isnt there…
I just read the comment thread.. it makes me want to BELIEVE the US stereotype, and shoot myself because of the ignorance.
First of all what if Mohammed was a muslim american? And what if he was of arab descent? I mean everyone in the US is originally of some other nationality.. We live in an area of different cultures, and small insignificant things like religion or nationality isn’t supposed to get in the way of that incredible link we have. We are supposed to LEARN from different cultures not HATE on them.
His name is Mohammed, he must be a Muslim and all Muslims are terrorists. That is like saying his name is Patrick, he must be a Catholic, and all Catholics are Paedophiles.
Now, this amuses me. Not long ago, just being Irish in the UK had some people (stupid) people assuming you were a terrorist. Didn’t matter if you were Catholic or Protestant.
Maybe what some people here are missing is perspective. I suggest watching the trailer for Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner on IMDB. Or maybe rent the movie. It was racism in 1967, it’s racism now, only the exact skin tones change.
No, not really, because Muslims often look white. “Mohammed” is a rare name for Christians and people of other religions, but he could be of any nationality. Most Turkish people and many Tajik Afghans look as white as can be, blond and blue or green-eyed. Most Muslims are Indo-Europeans, just like northern Europeans.
u knw when my muslim frnd invited her christian bf over to diner her parents were not only polite, they were warm and friendly
i guess that means that her muslim dad is FAR more tolerant than you
Just to point something out here: being a hater of Muslims is not being a racist bigot. It’s being a religionist bigot. Xenophobia comes in many forms. There are plenty of white Muslims, as well as Arab Christians (and many other amazing nationality-religion combos).
Come to the uk, live in parts of London, Manchester or Yorkshire alongside the Muslim communities and then tell me who the racist bigots are. It’s frightening to see the intolerance shown by the Muslim community towards the non- Muslims.
you know im an arabic muslim girl and i find this absurd. you pple watch movies about terrorist who ignorant pple put as arabian in movie, that doesnt mean that all arabian or muslim pple are terrorist. they always put jewish pple in our movies terrorist and im not judging them. racisim is ugly and so are the ignorant pple writing all theese comments about muslim pple.
This reminds me of my uncles telling me not to get a muslim boyfriend. I certainly don’t think they hate muslims, they just have an idea that muslims are so and so, and thus no good for their little girl. T_T
There are different levels to bigotry. You don’t have to hate to be a bigot. But to discount half a billion people on the planet as suitable dating prospects because of stereotyping is bigotry.
I’m Jewish, I dated a Lebanese Muslim girl for a couple of years. Her family treated me like a son and had no problem with it.
Every Muslim I’ve ever met has been tolerant, well-educated, sensible, hard-working and decent, law-abiding citizens. Which oddly enough is more than I can say about some of the white people I’ve met in my life.
Wow….I’m a Muslim and I dated a Lebanese Jewish guy for a few years.
O.o
’twas very interesting. There’s a lot more in common between the two cultures than most people would think……
so…let me get this straight, failbook friends, it’s ok to post fails that show bigotry toward Christians, but not toward Muslims? wow…equality for all.
This would have been funny if he didn’t use a race identifying name. If he just left it as “this is my new boyfriend…” Could have played on the whole “dad hates daughter’s choice in boys” without sounding racist. And maybe he’s not racist and just doesn’t like any boy she brings home but this one just happens to be named Mohammad… but it just doesn’t look that way by others. PS, I dated someone named Mohammad… He was not Muslim but one set of grandparents were.
I really take offense of you using my name in this, The point being a name is just a name and it’s the person behind the name. I am of Irish ancestry and I take offense to my name being associated to a black man just because the name is Tyrone, I am named for the 2 counties that my family came from in Ireland and I take offense that every time someone hear’s my name the automatically think that I’m black.
These days you can say that your proud to be white with out being tagged as a racist.
Well I am proud to be white and I would not dis-own my daughter but I would council her on her choice of a boy friend knowing how women are treated in that religion.
I have read there Koran and my understanding of it is that it is not a book of peace, but a book of intolerance and hate, NO where in the Bible doe’s if you the right to kill someone just because they don’t believe the way you do, but this book preach’s exactly that.
How can you be proud to be white? Proud to have a certain skin colour? That is just weird. I think you will find that the Bible has several verses which require you to kill someone because they act or think differently from “you” – the believer in God’s laws. People don’t act upon the bible endorsed stonings and executions these days – though you do get the odd nutter. There are some believers in Islam who do firmly believe in the laws of the Qu’ran and act upon them. They are 600 years behind us on moving on from that. The odd countries that do do this are new and have used their religious book as their first source for their legal system. Just as western nations used the Bible.
We don’t, for example, lock up or execute homosexuals these days. There are even those who fully endorse allowing homosexuals to marry. These changes have only happened in the last few decades and still have work to do. When the followers of Christianity are beyond believing that such things are an abomination, then they can cast the first figurative stone at Islam.
How do you know that Dad doesn’t already know this kid? Why do so many people ASSUME “racism” (which is ludicrous, it’s about culture not race)?
Maybe they already know “Mohammad”, and know that he’s trouble, and yet the daughter brought him home anyway? But no, I see interminable discussions about “racism” (which is ridiculous, since when is a religion a race?) and … nazism?
There is nothing more intolerant than a “progressive” pretending to be “tolerant”.
Alright, the status is meant to be a joke.
I don’t think it’s funny at all, for obvious reasons.
The comments below are even worse.
This is FAIL on so many socially and morally, ethically and just intellectually important levels. Impressive.
Um… racism isn’t funny. Racism is for douchebags who think that your skin color, religion or anything about your looks depends on where you stand in the society. Seriously, if you think this is funny… well I’m not gonna post that word here, but you’re quite humourless. Btw NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORIST JACKASS
read up about muslims. there are many more reasons to want them to go away. ESPECIALLY if you’re a woman (im assuming you are) ya it’s a bit racist but any father should be smart enough to think that way. If you’re not dumb enough to be muslim then you should for sure be protecting your daughter from them.
“read up about muslims”? How about actually talking to some! I have known muslims all my life and every single one of them has been a decent human being! I would be wanting to protect any daughter from ignorant bigots like you!
Racism and xenophobia is always so funny.
Well, you know, all people of arabic descent are Muslims, and all Muslims are terrorists.
Hold up. What makes you think he doesn’t like Mohammad just because he’s Muslim? He might have very good reasons to not like him! Like, what if he’s a terrorist, or something?
i think everyone is missing the point that this is just a copy and paste from sickapedia…
Wise man that fazzer
wise man? Or terrorist?
z or p?
It’s hardly missing the point if people don’t regularly go on sickipedia. That site is so pathetic now i don’t blame most people for not going and wasting their time there.
Don’t fall for the mistake of believing that just because you waste hours of your days on that garbage website that everybody else does, and they just didn’t put 2 and 2 together.
Capt. Caveman knows wussup

cos all people with the name Mohammad are Arabs. No way he could possibly be of Turkish, Iranian, or Indonesian descent.
Not to interrupt a good rant with inconvenient facts, but Turkey is majority WHAT religion again?
Islam.
You DO know that Arab =/= Muslim right? The Turks may be Muslim, but they are not Arabs. They are Turks.
Although the majority is muslim, Turkey is a secular country very different from Saudi Arabia or Iran or Iraq or Indonesia… There can be no comparison between those.. Women have all the rights in Turkey.
no they don’t.. actually covered woman do NOT have full rights of education
Try converting a Turk to Christianity there and see what happens.
Not very secular.
Well, try converting an American Christian to Islam here. Not quite as secular a we ought to be either.
Arab isn’t religion… a person named Mohammad is most likely Muslim, but not necessarily Arab…
islamic. just as the other countries that dorfer named. and whose population are not arabic.
problem?
You just failed hard, dorfer.
Actually he didn’t
Yeah he did! Turkey is an Arab nation, as is Iran. Indonesia not, though.
Iz and Joe, read a book or newspaper sometime. Iran and Turkey are not Arab countries. Iran is Persian, and Turkey is Ottoman.
Turkey is not an Arab nation. There are many racial groups there, mainly from central asia. Iran is not an arabic nation. The peoples there are mainly Persian.
So……Arabs then?
wtf dude… there is an entire internet at your fingertips, why don’t you spend some time searching it before failing so hard?
Iranians are Persian, dingbat.
You’re a f**king idiot.
Please just stop taking.
ummm…honey, I’m a Turk.
And we speak TURKISH, not Arabic.
We’re not Arabs.
Nothing against them, but they’re two different languages.
Iranians speak Farsi and they’re not Arabs either, so you just failed.
It’s sarcasm, bro. When Americans think of Islam, they usually picture somebody from those Middle East nations who don’t like us. Yet the three nations with the largest Muslim population are Indonesia, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, all in South Asia. The first two are close U.S. allies, and Bangladesh is at least moderately friendly, and is the second-largest contributor of troops to the U.N., right behind Pakistan.
Wow. Getting the point fail, ryan.
and only Arabs are Muslims, right?
I think if your name is Mohammad it’s a pretty good indicator that your parents are Muslim, just like if your name is Jesus I’m going to guess your parents are Christian.
Or Mexican…
and a lot of Mexicans are Christians…
i’m a malaysian and my name is syed muhammad zulfaez , i’m not an arab

+1 Interwebs for you, my good sir.
Thank you.
Aw, crap. I forgot about that vote we took on whether to go to war, and every citizen who was of age had to vote, and we couldn’t go to war unless it was unanimous…
And your evidence that the person in question is American is… ?
Oh, right. Haters like you don’t need no stinking evidence, everything you see is connected to the thing that you hate, it must be so.
So what did you say when your daughter told you she was dating an American?
The spelling of jewelry suggests the person is North American, so either a US citizen or a Canadian.
If they were British, Australian, New Zealander, South African or one of the other majority English-speaking countries, they would likely spell the word as jewellery.
Of course, this is not total proof because Failbook constantly shows us how people fail to spell simple words correctly, let alone those with multiple accepted spellings.
Canadians use a mix of American and British forms for words such as armour, which Americans changed. So it’s more likely an American than a Canadian… if we consider it isn’t a typo/mistake
Thanks for that. I do find those sorts of language differences interesting and I was not aware of that about Canadian English.
Fun fact: the words music and magic both used to be spelt with a k on the end, until Noah Webster’s simplified American dictionary removed the k and both those words were modified in all but archaic uses of the words.
Killed the dude.
Does he come from a blue state?
Or, it was just the dad saying that he doesnt want his daughter dating. *rolls eyes* Probably has nothing to do with discrimination. btw americans rarely call thrift stores “charity shops”.
Um, this comment most likely did NOT come from an American. Americans don’t typically use the words “charity shop.” That sounds more like a Brit to me.
Also, perhaps the folks on here don’t understand that some people actually wish their children to find mates who share their religion. Rather than dating men who want to cover them in veils, disallow driving, treat them like second-rate citizens and ultimately stone them to death.
Definitely not American. We spell, and pronounce it, “joory”
Broomhilda: i’m an american… and also a muslim. the muslim women in my community aren’t covered in veils, are allowed to drive, are treated like all the other citizens in the country, and are not stoned to death. get yourself an edumacation
Because all Muslim men do that, right?
My best friend is married to a Muslim, named Mohammed. They have a son over a year old. She is a strong, independant atheist. And they are in a very loving, understanding relationship.
The sheer number of racits stereotypes on this thread show that, it doesn’t really matter what country you are from or in, anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia are worldwide problems.
Damn racits!
Actually in original Islam, women have more rights than man.
And I can’t see why u have a problem with covering your wife. In Islam You shouldn’t cover the whole body. Those ninjas(Yes, even we, as Muslims call them Ninja/Zorro.) are just wearing their traditional Arabic dress. I mean my wife is my wife. I should enjoy her. Not anyone else. Islam doesn’t disallow driving. It actually says that men should drive and women sit & enjoy.
stoning is a bit harsh, in my opinion, but it strengthens the family. They do it when FOUR witnesses report a man and a woman (who are not married) having sex. Four witnesses. you can never get that much witnesses unless you are doing it in the street. U as a single man may not like this, but millions of married men love it.
Ummm…where the heck did it say that men drive and women whould sit and enjoy?
They didn’t have cars back then…..and in relation to horses, the Prophet Mohammad actually ordered parents to teach their daughters how to hunt and swim and ride horses.
Yes, I’m a Muslim.
I’m (relatively) fine with the dress and the driving, in the name of religious freedom, but since when did killing someone in a brutal manner ever strengthen a family? Is your contention really that “millions of married men”, and by extension, millions of married women, are better off with the threat of a painful and public death looming over them? Completely aside from whether or not such a punishment is justified, you make the point that one could “never” obtain four witnesses to an act of adultery barring roadside fornication. This argument relies on the assumption that false testimony does not occur. Were four people to claim that your wife had committed adultery, would you willingly surrender her to the crowd? Would you cast the first stone?
Godwin’s law
Yea, Kraut. We love to build ovens and burn women and kinder. STFU for another 100yrs. Than you can talk S%&T. YOUR Grandad was a baby killer.
Ouch.. this kinda breaks your point..
Mr. Kraut above may not be very witty but this comment just makes me cringe with the sheer dumbassness of it. It’s offensive. More than the one before.
Who said this was in America? What, the French can’t be racist against middle easterns?
Exactly what I was about to write
… and the second part of the joke goes… Well if you think this is bad maybe you won’t be mad at my flunking out of school?
No… the joke pretty much ended at that… your part just makes no sense… the dad didn’t tell the girl he was kicking her out, he just said that’s what he understood by her saying she was going out with “Mohammad”
If my daughter walked in with Mohammad F. Haque of the Apple Geeks webcomic I’d give her a raise.
Amen.
Fair enough, but I’d prefer Jayce.
The only fail here is the presumption of hate. Perhaps her parents know and understand the established danger of mixed-faith relationships and, inferring from the name, also understand the additional dangers for women who date men that follow the teachings of Mohammad.
Oh but lets not bring rational thought into this discussion. Instead lets oversimplify the matter just to get a cheap laugh.
Man, the only way that could have been more racist is if you’d just come right out and said ‘Kill the towel-heads.’
Ahem…

Wait, That one may be true…
I know a Jose guy and he’s Irish. Always thought it was kind of funny.
exceptions exist for nearly every rule
but its still a fairly safe bet that a guy named mohammed is either a muslim or of arabic descent.
not for rule 34… unfortunately
How does Rule 34 apply here?
Well, most men named Christian are Christian…
In this day and age it’s safer to bet men named Christian have Christian parents. Christian himself may not necessarily have the same beliefs.
Nope, in my country the name Christian is very common, and we are mostely atheists.
Yeah, because throwing her out where she can only go to Mohammad makes it seem like they have her interests at heart…

“established danger” = “the hate I have received from my elders”
“inferring from the name” = “utilizing deep-seated prejudice”
“rational thought” = your cover story and how you sleep at night. You shouldn’t. Get unnerved and do some serious thinking.
^ this.
Not everyone whose name is Mohammed (or Ahmed or Abdul) is automatically an Arab. And only 20% of Muslims in the world are Arabs.
So your argument about mixed-faith relationships is basically invalid.
His argument is invalid, but not for the reasons you specified. You have a point, but all you proved was that he might not be an Arab. The arguments made about mixed-faith relationships are “true” to the people who make them, regardless of whether or not this one instance is a case of that or not.
Sorry, but his argument remains valid. What does being Arab have to do with the fact that he is Muslim?
Yeah let’s just say that all the people with a Muslim name are Muslims, that all the Muslims are sexists (it’s well known that the other religions respect women and give them the same rights as men), that someone’s name is so big deal that it could be a danger to a relationship, and that you can know that a person is a danger just by knowing their name.
“it’s well known that the other religions respect women and give them the same rights as men”
LOL WUT NO
Lol sarcasm understanding fail. Though it is rather difficult to tell when someone is being sarcastic over the internet.
tl;dr: BAWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
Because you can tell a person’s religion by their name.
“let’s write a racist rant and call it rational thought”
you, sir, are an idiot.
People, face it. If we are assuming that Mohammad is Muslim (which chances are, he probably is), then the father would have ample reason to be a bit mad (unless of course he was mad simply out of spite or racism). Muslim men living in highly religious Muslim countries, have a high tendency not to treat their women very well. And that’s not me generalising, that’s me referring to conversations I have had with ex pat middle easterners.
I’m not saying this is true of ALL of them, heck I’m friends with a couple really lovely Muslims. But if the only Muslims or middle easterners that this man ever came into contact with were religous fanatics, men who beat their wives religiously, and generally just violent examples, then who can blame him? Sometimes it’s not about racism, it’s about a (sometimes ignorant) fear of the culture… I suppose it’s similar to the way many of you generalise to all Christians, saying they are all horrible hypocritical bible bashing zealots. Although some certainly are, and they may be the only ones you have encountered, they are not a true representation of all Christians, very few of the ones I know are like that. It’s always the minority that give the majority a bad name.
So maybe you should look at yourselves and our own fearful or arrogant stereotyping, before you start calling other’s out as being ignorant and discriminitive.
Ok, i appreciate that at least you’re trying make a rational and measured argument, but:
First of all (and actually this is addressed to all the other commentators not you) yes we can assume that Mohammed is Muslim or Arabic because that is the nature of the ‘joke’ – it’s clearly being made by a bigot that intends it to mean someone who is Muslim.
Ok, now: You argue that the father has ample reason to be mad because many muslims in a few muslim states treat women poorly, and then almost directly afterwards point out that you can’t stereotype everyone in a religion due to a few fanatics – heed your own advice.
On a lesser note; you assume that it’s a good thing that a father should be able to punish his daughter for her choice of boyfriend without hearing her side of the story. I find it kind of horrible that parenting that doesn’t respect the rights and choices of the children (to a certain extent of course) is lauded here.
Oh also, you use the old saying ‘don’t get me wrong, heaps of my friends are (insert race, colour, religion or sexual orientation being discriminated against)’ – careful of it, even if you’re not, it’ll make you seem incredibly racist.
Sooo the not making my own “fearful or arrogant stereotypes” based on the minority who give the majority a bad name is something I have to do about Christians but you don’t for Muslims?
I refer you to; “So maybe you should look at yourselves and our own fearful or arrogant stereotyping, before you start calling other’s out as being ignorant and discriminitive.”
And you know what, I am going to cover all my bases here, I am going preempt you response and denial and point out your hypocrisy now;
“If we are assuming that Mohammad is Muslim (which chances are, he probably is)” – opinion based on what? Maybe it is just the minority giving the majority a bad name?
“Muslim men living in highly religious Muslim countries . . .” – Well, this was in English, kinda suggests to me maybe not from one of those clearly barbaric countries where everyone must be just like those bad apples we see in the media.
“. . . heck I’m friends with a couple really lovely Muslims.” + “. . . and they may be the only ones you have encountered, . . .” – well if you think we are judging people based on those we have encountered, why not try doing the same thing yourself? But to a positive effect, give Muslim people the benefit of the doubt, based on those you know?
I agree with you on the point about the father being ignorant and prejudiced, as my own dad is the same, there is no changing some peoples mind, but there is no reason to defend their ignorants, it should be discourage until we can finally raise a generation free of the shortcomings of their forefathers.
really? You’re all going to get this worked up over a joke? You realise this never actually happened right, therefore the Mohammad in question is in fact Muslim, as he is made up and it’s part of the joke…. -_-
a racist joke
I know all about this because SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE LOVELY MUSLIMS.
Dear god, the ignorance, it burns us.
Sure. So the best way to protect his daughter if he really feel it’s dangerous is obviously by kicking her out of his house. totally makes sense.
don’t want to sound like an ass but this guy is just a racist. end of the line.
Definitely with you there. If it was a case of worrying about his daughter’s safety, throwing her out of the house would be a terrible idea.
FYI, all of what you just wrote is pretty much a definition of hate and racism. Hating arabs because of some crazy guys you’ve seen on Fox News is racism. Hating Christians because of a fanatic minority cannot be racism of course, but is pretty much the same.
Well, I’m glad to inform you that you are a racist and a hater.
Just reread what I posted, and not happy with that. I don’t know you, and by default I have no reason to think you ACTUALLY are a racist and a hater. Sorry for that. I was only underlining the contradiction in your post. What you state to be OK and understandable is actually simple racism and hate.
My first thought was that many dads don’t want their daughters to start dating anyone. The assumption that it was because of the boyfriend’s name is definitely a fail. Why do people want to find racism so badly in a situation where we really don’t know if it exists?
Until I read your comment I thought that the status was just a joke, the major part of which was the name.
I’m glad that you set me straight and I know that it was written with total sincerity.
Your entire post is absolutely ridiculous. Again, if the man called Muhummad is muslim, it *still* doesn’t mean that he is extreme and will hurt or endanger her in any way. If he’s willing to date outside his religion, that probably indicates he’s a bit more open-minded.
Also I have no idea what “established dangers” of mixed-faith relationships there could possibly be, unless it’s from people like you and the OP on facebook.
Presumption of hate? He said he’d throw her out into the street with nothing. I don’t think it gets much more hateful. And following your “logic,” how is that less dangerous than her DATING someone?
Yeah, man, you just kind of proved all of our points for us with your racist comment about how racism isn’t racist. (religism?)
STFU nerd! Your comment makes me laugh! “Teachings of Muhammad”? Who ARE you to say that???!! If you think your so right, here’s what you do: get off your ‘righteous’ ass; go to the nearest mosque(doesn’t matter WHERE you live, there will be one); go to the imam(leader), and ask him about Islam. When you have learned everything there is about Islam and you can say that you’re still correct, come back and tell me.
i think you might just be presuming almost hateful things also Mr!
…oh and for the record ,im muslim but not arab
i hope ..one day ..like the person who wrote that silly status learn that not all muslim men are dangerous ,…theres bad people everywhere and theres lovely people everywhere too
My dad just said “hey I’m a giant racist douche who doesn’t have the brain power to understand why my daughter would be interested in somebody from a culture different then mine, I also have a small penis and every night secretly stop by the truck stop to blow other racist morons” actually he didn’t quite put it like that…
Speaking of brain power… you should learn the difference between “than” and “then” before accusing others of a lack of intelligence.
Nick didn’t say “then,” his dad did.
Speaking of correcting people’s typing… you should learn the difference between “than” and “from” before accusing people of not knowing the difference between “than” and then”.
Maybe he just figured that she’d be moving somewhere closer to the mountain.
Best.
u mad, muslims?
When we allow hatred against one religious group, we allow hatred against them all; history has shown this as a repeating spiral towards hatred.
Racism comes from ignorance. Ignorance leads to fear, fear leads to anger.
Before we allow this bashing of those with a different view, remember that a fundamentalist view of any religion is dangerous.
*fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. Fear is the path to the Dark Side.
nice
I agree with Jesus and Yoda.
YES! Totally what I was thinking
You were thinking that because the person Dan replied to ripped off that line from Yoda.
this
Mohammad?
There’s a million ways to write that name. Mohammed, Mohammad, Mahmud, Mahmod, Muhammad, Muhammed, Ahmad, Hamid, Mahomet… All of these are pretty common in muslim societies. Just as the most popular names in christian societies are those of saints or others who were significant. John, Patrick, Peter, Paul and Mary… and the list goes on.
That kinda makes me glad christians got so many saints.
30 people in the same room all named mohammed makes things confusing.
Don’t halloo till you’re out of the wood, I´m froma catholic country: back in school, our teachers got stuck with 11 (eleven) guys named Martin in just one class. And I´d to give the Annas and Katharinas in my cellphone numbers or nick names to keep them apart.
My name is Katharina too btw.
That’s interesting, I don’t know anyone named Martin or Katharina and I only know one Anna, and I went to a Catholic school for twelve years :p We’re probably (obviously) from different countries…
Then again, the numbers of Matts, Jessicas, and Alexs are staggering.
It’s ridiculous how many Seans (Shawn/Sean/Shaun/etc.) there are. I honestly cannot go anywhere without hearing my name being called out only to find it directed to yet another one of us. ><
U Moha Mad?
Haha
*hand over head* woosh!
Thank you.
*godfacepalm*
to be accurate, it’s محمد. Pronounce moh-Ha-m’d
You’re missing the point.
I think, you’re not getting my joke…
Damnit…fail reply…
Brohammad?
should we be? or do you think we have no sense of humor? only idiot xenophobes believe that.
For once, shouldn’t have censored the name.
That’s what I was thinking. Normally I’m against harassing people who show up on failbook but for David Duke here I’d make an exception.
ah, the Dukemeister
You were trying to be ironic, no? Hating someone for their beliefs, intending to harass them because “you” are right?
You can’t be this stupid, right?
He not only can be that stupid, he can be that stupid within a fiery halo of self-righteousness that a Roman Catholic inquisitor would find hard to match.
I dunno, you sound awfully hate-filled, what with your need to attack people and all.
Why do you feel such an intense desire to harass people who do not share your beliefs?
Canaduck is about as hate-filled and bigoted as a slightly stoned naked mole rat.
You’re right!
It ain’t bigotry if you hate the RIGHT people!
How fashionable of you.
Thank you, cebus. It’s true that I am very much like a slightly stoned naked mole rat.
I was kidding, you guys, about harassing people on facebook. I don’t really have any interest in doing that type of thing. But I am a little weirded out by the sort of jump in logic that made you decide that my comment was some sort of ironic display of hatred and bigotry.
Oh I see. You only want to go harass people on facebook that you LIKE.
First, I don’t actually believe you. Second, you don’t say “aha, just kidding” and then simultaneously ask why someone got upset back when you were ostensibly serious.
Third, if there’s any bigoted thing being said on any thread about whites, christians, or rednecks you’re either the one doing it, cheering the person on, or trying to outdo him elsewhere in the thread. So yeah, a person who doesn’t share your prejudices might notice.
We know. Ryan Waxx is illiterate if he didn’t hear that in your original post.
I can rephrase it for him. “I am tolerant of all kinds of beliefs, but when they violate generally accepted societal norms I’m happy to step in and say something. When a better path is taught in schools and reinforced by employment practices and laws in the American workplace, and straying from it can get public officials fired, I’ll reinforce the message to the offending person.”
He said: “Normally I’m against harassing people who show up on failbook but for David Duke here I’d make an exception.”
He DID NOT say: “I am tolerant of all kinds of beliefs, but when they violate generally accepted societal norms I’m happy to step in and say something. etc etc etc”
The two are not equal. So, you were talking about illiteracy? As in, “not being able to read?” Because you’re qualifying.
Must be a close minded family.
I wouldn’t want a terrorist in my family.
Muslims & Arabs =/= Terrorist.
you give our name a bad name
why the hell is that thing SMILING?
We’ve all asked ourselves that very question.
I don’t want a pedophile in the family, so should my kids not be with catholics?
Winner.
O wait, I though generalizing people based on their beliefs was WRONG?
Guess not.
Bigot.
Sarcasm – n. , A form of humor that is marked by bitter mockery, often using irony, and sometimes conveyed in speech with vocal over-emphasis. With irony, it is insincerely saying something positive which is obviously the opposite of one’s intended, cruel meaning. On the other hand it may be a direct taunt where the jibe means exactly what it says. Usually meant to create verbal irony.
Now, you know the definition and therefore have no excuse. There is no bigotry here, only sarcasm.
Whoops! I mentioned Irony too many times. Forgive me.
You should check your irony detector. I think it’s out of batteries.
Dammit, Ryan Waxx, you suck at this! Your logic is terrible.
I get the irony just fine. I’m using it as well. But that went right over your head.
Trying to crawl out of that hole you dug there?
(Before you say no, I am just being ironic)
Ryan Waxx Fail!
so if all muslims are terrorists, then all catholics are pedophiles?
Pederasts.
8 year olds, dude.
Pederasts go for adolescents. Pedophiles would be right if the kids are eight.
How the hell did random racism make the first page? Please Failbook, don’t give me another Cheeseburger site to stop reading. I’m begining to run out.
If you’re running out of sites that don’t offend you, perhaps the cause is your extreme intolerance?
It’s a fail. It’s from Facebook. It meets requirements. There are like 40 other failbook-esque websites, go find one if this one offends you so much. Or sit here commenting all day, that seems to be the style.
This is FAILbook. I think the point was to highlight the egregious racism.
Um. Racist much?
Of course, its totally impossible that this was joke
Jokes are usually funny. This is just racist.
As George P below me sez, jokes are NOT usually funny. Racist jokes are funny to racists. I think it’s highly probable that this is this asshat’s idea of a joke, and he does find it funny to hate members of another race and/or religion.
prob repug
Just because it isn’t funny doesn’t mean it was meant seriously. For all we know, the family has no problem with her boyfriend at all and the mom was just kidding around.
I think that you just might be right…I have trouble believing that people can actually live up to racist stereotypes. I always thought (or hoped) that they were exaggerated.
Oh, he thinks it’s a joke, all right, but it’s only funny to ignorant racists.
I hate racism and thought it was funny. I find mocking racism enjoyable. Like that joke about “There’s two kinds of people I hate.”
If you can’t joke about everything, you’re not allowed to joke about anything.
Maybe she’s just rebelling because she knows dad is a racist jerk. Or maybe this is true love. Either way, dad’s still a racist jerk.
I remember fondly my former boyfriend Mohammed. He is Libyan and returned to Libya over 20 years ago after finishing Uni here. I am just glued to the news at the moment hoping that he, his family and my other Libyan friends from back then are safe and soon to be liberated from the evil dictatorship. And yes, the poster is a racist jerk.
Or MAYBE he got the joke off sikipedia. Like 50% of failbooks these days…
you sound white
The sad thing is if you search for this on FB there are tons of them… ugh.
Damn muslims flooding beloved FB.
HOORAY FOR IGNORANCE!
You guys are pathetically uptight. Whether he was joking or not doesn’t directly affect any of your lives. get over it already. I’m not racist and I laughed and now I will go on with my day because its a STATUS ON FACEBOOK.
Annoyed, I think you mistyped there – I think you meant to put “I’m not racist BUT…”
Hey by that logic I may as not subject myself to the internet at all, or any media, or anyone else’s opinion, as none of it directly affects my life.
May as well not get out of bed tomorrow, avoid having to formulate an opinion on all those things that don’t affect me. I’m not going to flip out because of this status, but doesn’t mean I am not going to treat this forum any differently to any other communication. I will point out ignorance and its stupidity no matter where it is.
That’s too bad that you think that it doesn’t directly affect any of our lives… because it does. Racism is a very big deal all over the world. It allowed for the foundation of the Holocaust (to name a very prominent, well known one), and basically most of the heavy conflict between many countries in the middle east and the US and within them as well.
This prejudice could easily lead to the encampment of all Arab-Americans or Middle Eastern- Americans in the US. Remember WW2?
So I guess I’m pathetically uptight, but I really don’t want to find out the result of all of this racism.
So, by you all stereotyping Mohammad – that makes the Dad racist? Hmm interesting.
If you read the status, ‘Dad’ has never before met Mohammad, and instantly hates every fibre of his being because of his race, and you seem to be attempting to justify that.
Hmm, interesting.
It’s not a race, it’s a religion. The race is exactly the same: homo sapiens.
homo sapien is the species, Arab (or Asian or Indian, ~62% of all Muslims are from outside the Middle East and north Africa, and some of the highest concentrations are in the Asia-Pacific area and the Indian Subcontinent. Hell, he could be an Arab christian who just has a traditionally Muslim name, ~1/10 Arabs are Christians.
The More you Know.
You’re right, there are subscpecies. It was merely a metaphor for “don’t misinterpret all the differences between human beings as racial”.
The post doesn’t specify that the dad got his hate on because of his race (presumably Arab) or his religion (presumably Muslim).
By the way, even in academic circles it’s accepted that the human species can be subdivided into different races.
In fact in medicine it’s sometimes even necessary: being black gives you a pre-disposition to have sickle cell anemia. The more you know~
Thank you, I know this. It is of course quite obvious that humankind is divided in different subspecies with hereditary attributes like almond eyes or the pigmentation of the skin. There are many more attributes which are not openly visible, by which people can be divided into different groups (for example the ability to roll the tongue into a round form, a bit like a drinkind straw). But I am not sure “Arab” is, genetically speaking, a biological race in itself. This should be researched properly, before assumptions are made – on my part as well. (But this being the internet, and failblog at that…)
Also, in that tale, I assume the father being anti-muslim rather than anti-Arab, because a) the english-speaking world acts rather hysterical about anything muslim, so the joke would be stronger and b) Mohammad is a stereotypical name for a muslim, while “Farhad” or “Fatih” (two Arab names I know) would sound less obvious “muslim” to the reader. I mean, in a joke, everyone always goes for the safest version for maximum understanding. But that doesn’t really matter, because anti-arab would be euqally bad as anti-muslim.
There’s a great French comedy in the cinemas here at the moment [with Kad Merad, "L'Italien"], in which an Algerian illegal Immigrant to France poses as being of Italian descent [and gets into trouble when is ailing father asks him to do ramadan, which clashes with his Italian, and supposedly christian behaviour pattern]. What I mean to say is that, generally, people from Arabian countries may very well look like people from Italy, Greece, Spain or other southern European places, which, in my eyes, leaves the “race” option in OP’s story void.
I was using the term “race” colloquially, not scientifically, but I admit that I assumed the bloke who made the joke meant Muslim = Arab. WHich, to be fair, is more than likely.
Arab isn’t a race, it’s a language. People in North Africa speak Arabic, and to the north in places like Syria and Lebaon (where they’re much lighter) they speak Arabic as well.
And of course most Middle Easterners look like they coud be Spanish or Italian! We’re from around the Mediterranean . . . typical tannish skin/dark hair and eyes setup
It doesn’t say any place that Dad never met Mohammad before, for all you know Dad may work with Mo, go to church with Mo..
It just says it’s her new Bf.
No one would ever say “This is my new boyfriend, a guy you’ve already met” it just doesn’t make contextual sense. “This guy is my new boyfriend”, maybe.
No, I think FM was pointing out that we’re ALL assuming Dad has a problem with the boyfriend because of his race and/or religion, simply because of what his name is, when it isn’t specified in the post. It’s implied, yes, but only slightly.
That said, I don’t think it was serious.
Ok maybe not ALL of us, but most of us. Thought better of that after I posted.
True…He could be one of those Dad’s that hates all his daughter’s boyfriends equally.
Perhaps. But I doubt he’d have added the name, if it wasn’t an issue.
Meaning, if his name was, say, ‘Billy,’ I don’t see him saying she said, ‘This is my new boyfriend and his name is Billy.’
is it so impossible for Mohammad to be a white guy?
*WIN*
No, disowning his daughter because her new boyfriend has a Muslim name is racist.
Aren’t these normally meant to be funny? I’m kinda worried that by putting this up here someone is going to get the idea that this is okay behaviour
sorry my for engrish!
*For my engrish
why did you delete the comment where i corrected myself then?
I wouldn’t want my daughter dating a terrorist either.
I wouldn’t, either. That’s why I reject all suitors named “Timothy”.
Did you also check off the list of hijackers on 9/11 then? Lots of names there.
I wouldn’t either. That’s I reject all suitors who believe in imaginary gods in the sky. If you’re that gullible, you can obviously be talked into all kinds of stupid things, like suicide bombings or Creationism.
^ hahahahahah… THIS!! I totally agree <3
Perfectly said!
One internet for you. +1
+100 Internetz for you.
(‘cuz I’m not as miserly as TheCaoth
)
Touche my dear sir! I like your point!
Troll
Well I don’t want my terrorist dating your daughter!
haha love it
Ah ha ha that was good
Hahah XD
I agree.. I wouldn’t want my kid sisters with a terrorist either. And how would you know he’s’ a terrorist? Not like he’s or she would come in wearing a Tshirt claiming.. Hide Yer Kids.. I’m a Terrorist.
i would buy said t-shirt
Sold.. to the man with the sunglasses, long coat and very large hat!
I second that. And I would wear it in a US airport.
I’m sure your family will think of you well and tell cautionary tales to their children of their mad uncle/aunt when they take you off to Gitmo. Wonder if it depends at which airport in which country.
Haha,I love how I am a Muslim and my english is so much better than yours!
Been brushing up on your English to fit in with the whites have you now? You wouldn’t happen to be a terrorist? Seems to fit their behavior hmmm
troll
There is a high chance that he is Muslim, judging by the name. Wouldn’t that make him automatically a terrorist? At least, the leaflets of the Homeland Security Office mentioned that once or twice
Okay, let’s pretend for a second that this isn’t racist. Let’s pretend that he’s just mad that his daughter is dating.
He should be glad that she was not only willing to TELL him that she has a boyfriend, but she was willing to bring this boy home for him to meet. And, the boy was willing to do it. He can’t be all bad.
If you add the racial factor back in, and let’s assume the daughter knows how her dad feels about her dating (what we assume is) a Muslim young man. Either this is the dumbest rebellion ever (because it will definitely result in the young man getting hurt) or she really likes this boy, and he’s really brave and a stand-up kid for coming to meet her family. Either way, the dad isn’t making his life any easier by freaking out. If you make your kids feel awful, especially through some kind of bigotry, you stand a good chance of losing them.
Its just a joke, heard it a thousand times. So your in depth explanation wasn’t really needed.
Oh stop being so politically correct people its just a joke! Mohammed is the most popular name in the world, I cant see any reference to race in the post, can you?
Oh, you.
Precisely… it’s a joke and the daughter really wants to tell her dad that she’s pregnant with another mans child.. or running away to become a body piercing artiste with the circus.
or both
That would be a bit like gilding the lily. I like to think she’s going to run away to the circus and compete with the woman who has the worlds records of body piercings. If you are going to give your dad a heart attack that would be a good start.
There is a racial connotation here and you know it.
Yeah, that is what makes it funny
Hey Failblog, this one is disgusting. Is this the kind of humor of dumb Americans, having learnt nothing from the events of the past years? Congratulations. You’re discriminating against battered people.
They’re saying the dad who posted this was a racist fail, not that the joke was funny or even remotely true. Chill out.
I know it’s fun to pretend that you have some sort of weird moral upperhand by being “not American”, but it looks like you should work on your basic reading comprehension before you get too smug. Start with the title, then check the post tags. Then read a few comments. It will come to you eventually.
You know, some people can actually be *gasp* Muslim AND American! O.o
Mhmm….,like me.
If I may ask, do you experience much prejudice because of this? I have no idea how Americans react to muslims in everyday life. Over here (Germany) we of course only get the peaks of what gets media attention in the US, which is far away from everyday life… (Which also has an upside, nobody here ever heard of Rebecca Black or Snooki! Better life ftw!!)
First, any who say this is racist #FAIL at life. Since Muhammed is common for Muslims (a religion, not a race) you cannot be racist by hating Muslims.
Moreover, you bunch of failers, it isn’t bigoted to not want your daughter to date someone of a different faith. If you actually believe in yours, that is…
Pansies. You all fail.
Did you just add a Twitter tag to a blog comment? And everyone else fails?
Win.
So if I meet this guy named Joseph I will assume he’s Christian because it’s a popular name with Christians? If his name is David then he is Jewish? Same logic…
If it wasn’t racist or about dating it would be priceless indeed. If the daughter said something different that upset her parents.
P.S. I’ve watched how the Muslims in my med school treat their girlfriends and wives. It’s the international version of a trailer park. No way would I want my daughter dating a man whose firm belief is that he pwns her.
And stupidity owns you if you disagree with me.
Do you know anything about Islam at all? Both the Bible and the Torah contain many more examples of misogyny than the Koran. The men you mentioned may treat their wives or girlfriends badly, but that’s far more likely to be for cultural than religious reasons.
>> Bible and the Torah contain many more examples of misogyny than the Koran.
And I bet you counted them all.
Well, of course he did. Who doesn’t?
…Whaddya mean, I’m the only person who does that in their free time?!
^This
And that transcends into modern times how?
I concur. The only reasonable partner is an atheist.
Weird, I was treated like a queen by my muslim bf. And know many muslim couples where the women very much wear the trousers.
The only man I’ve dated that actually treated me right was a Muslim. (Relevant because I was still living as a female at the time)
Yes indeed they will treat you like a queen as long as you are dating. On the other hand, the story takes a 180 degrees turn once you are married.
I’m not generalizing; not everyone is the same. However as someone who grew up in the middle east I have seen way too many examples of the life before and after marriage. What can I tell you… not a pleasant memory.
anyways personally i think this post is hilarious, i actually laughed out loud and so did my mom.
I’ve had several muslim boyfriends during my life. What they all share in common is that they all treated me better than the guys of other faiths/cultures I’ve dated/lived with. You’ve seen a few guys treat their spouses badly and have made the assumption that this is automatically because they are muslim. But I’m willing to bet, that even if I would show you thousands of cases where a christian man (of any nationality) has mistreated his wife/gf, you wouldn’t make that same accusation. Do you get my point?
I don’t see how that differs from many Catholic, Christian, Jewish, Agnostic and Athiest men, really.
Copied from a facebook “Like”. Fail… Wait.. This is Failbook. FFFFUUUUU–
i love failbook for the sake of humor .. i’m quiting today .. i really don’t take this as a joke , how is it funny ?? u guys accept gay etc but not muslim ?? i am a muslim and i love muhammad saw. i’ll never make joke about moses or jesus b’cos my religion teach me if i ever make fun about any of them i’ll be a bad muslim and will be going to hell , making jokes about other religions is haram for muslim .. how is it ok to make fun oh muhammad ?? i know some of u may think that i am over reacting , this is my way of saying jokes has limit to it . with all due respect , assalamualaikum .
I think you’re misinterpreting the post. The idea is that the person who posted this on Facebook is a racist fail, not that the joke is funny or true. We’re laughing at the dad for being a bigoted moron.
+1 internets for you for simpley understanding the post
TROLLLLLLLL IN THE DUNGEON. That is all
some peeps need to lighten up, its a joke! Plus the point of the joke is that you dont know the race and you thinking its racist means u stereotype the name to islam. I think it’s quite funny, I have and asian mate back at home who would love this might send it to im
You can’t help but link the name to Islam. I haven’t come across any non muslims by the name of Mohammed. I saw what I thought could be a joke, but as I didn’t see any reply for so called ‘Dad’ it is easy to think the Dad is a racist. Just subsitute the name for a Jewish one, Buddhist etc and then see if it still would be taken as ‘non racist’.
ummm, this is the one name in the world that is not common to ANY other belief system so then name isn’t the stereotype, its the assumption that someone with the name would be someone undesirable to date for the daughter based on the stereotype associated with the name
That is so not the point of the joke. You’re suck an idiot.
*of
This is a win!
OK, then, how about: 9/11 was an EPIC WIN!
UMAD?
@arahman84, UFAIL!
Maybe Mohammad was Catholic and that’s what the problem was. I know someone named Mohammed O’Donnell (his mom is from Saudi and his dad is Irish).
Whatthewha?!? Iraudi? Saudirish? How does that even mix?
When a mommy and a daddy are a little tipsy…
Beat me to it!
I have a friend whose dad’s Scottish and mom’s Saudi.
This reminds me of a joke my dad played on my grandmum. He told her that my boyfriend was black. She literately FREAKED OUT, cried, and tried to lecture me. It was a huge overreaction.
I don’t know how people can dislike another race so much. I just don’t get it. My grandmother was so upset that she was going to have ‘oreo great grandchildren’ and didn’t even consider my love.
OMB!! That reminds me of when my family met my now husband! My dad assumed he’s black or mixed because he’s dark-skinned. My dad didn’t have a problem with it, but he told other people so they wouldn’t be shocked when they met him. My entire family thought my husband was black; no one said anything to me about it until I found out and had to straighten it out. Lol.
….. and that’s how shallow we have become… we “think” he is black… had they never seen him? I assume they had and he’s just got a tan skin. So if he were the same color of skin but had black parents, he’d be black. And you family needs warning because they’d be “shocked”…. i am amazed.
Ha, troll-invented story FAIL.
“Oreo” is a disparaging term used by blacks to denigrate blacks that “act white” (black on the outside, white on the inside). It’s also used against black politicians and public figures that have the “wrong” set of beliefs like SC Justice Thomas or Bill Cosby.
At least learn something about race relations before you create a fictional account of racism so that you can be the most fashionable girl on the block.
Beat me to it as well…
I’m biracial… and I prefer “swirl”.
Hey, I might use “swirl;” I’m tired of identifying as a mutt. Or maybe vanilla with tons of mix-ins!
Cool. There are a lot of ways to refer to it that aren’t mean-spirited.
And that’s the way we are ALL headed eventually… races don’t un-mix, so it’s a guarantee that at some point everybody’s children will be a swirl, so you’d better get used to it now.
Or not. History will run over the fools stupid enough to try and hold it back.
I’m already a kind of ”swirl”. native american mixed with french. RAWR.
So you automatically assume that her grandma – who obviously isn’t the sharpest knife in the box – would use every word correctly? And if she supposedly doesn’t, it’s a fake story?
Logic – you fail it.
Psst. The supposed storyteller made no indication that she realized it was the wrong term. Far more likely, when she created the story she simply applied her own misunderstanding to the fake quote.
I know you’re desperate for an excuse, but simply imagining a possibility into place as opposed to basing it on what the poster actually wrote is a FAIL.
My grandmother doesn’t understand these terms. She uses ‘oreo’ for mixed children.
If you think 80+ year old racist tea party members understand race terms…well, I have some new for you.
Puh-leeze.
You’re busted.
That is all.
Don’t worry guys! It’s just a joke stolen from sickipedia. Again.
Shh! Can’t you hear the moral outrage?
9/11 has nothing to do with islam , yes the one who did it was muslim that does not mean that they practice islam .
Did you just say that a person being Muslim does not mean that they practice Islam. Are you stupid?
Please tell me you’re not American…
My sweetheart’s name is Mohammad and I want to marry him.
Doesn’t sound like you’re American, or you belong to a fundie Christian family tho.
And?
It’s funny that this hateful bastard is considered a better parent than a homosexual ever could be.
Considering the hateful bastards commenting in this thread, don’t you find your comment ironic?
How is it ironic at all? He is not being hateful and he implies nothing about his own parenting.
Do you have problems comprehending things when you read them? Use that little brain of yours and think about it, the post was in fact ironic and hateful.
Hmm… my comments with absolutely no swear words and the same buzz words everyone else is using like racism and Muslim and the like seem to be placed under moderation for severely long periods of time. I looked at another post of mine that’s being moderated… for four days. I’m starting to turn into Paranoid Parrot that the Fail network doesn’t appreciate my no nonsense, blunt take on human nature.
This will appear twice, but my delusional rants don’t seem to make it to the boards sometimes. My comments with absolutely no swear words and the same buzz words everyone else is using like racism and Muslim and the like seem to be placed under moderation for severely long periods of time. I looked at another post of mine that’s being moderated… for four days. I’m starting to turn into Paranoid Parrot that the Fail network doesn’t appreciate my no nonsense, blunt take on human nature.
The fail here is everyone talking “Race”. Islam is a religion. I’m as white as a sheet & have blue eyes but I’m Muslim (I chose the religion, didn’t choose my race). And I know many white guys named Mohammad, they either chose the name after converting or their white Muslim parents named them that as its a considered a blessing to do so.
At any rate, I thought it was funny.
No religion was mentioned in the original post. It could just as well have been the so called “race” with the most Mohammmads that he was prejudiced against.
Acknowledged; I was referring to the posts above mine.
“I’ll include this under racism when I find a strict Muslim family that would gladly welcome their son to dating a white blonde non Muslim girl. Or… let’s up the ante… Jewish”
Sure, because racism is only racist when it’s reciprocated.
Muslim men are allowed to marry Jewish or Christian women anyway.
Read Mark’s post below.
Realistically, it doesn’t matter what the guy’s name is. All the daughter really had to say for the dad to hear that was, “This is my new boyfriend.” =P
I agree with this. The joke would be funny if they omitted the name entirely, but they went and inserted an ethnic/religious/whatever name and made it about bigotry.
I actually heard almost the exact same joke, but the punchline was that she was pregnant. Which version has the most unfortunate implications with it?
I agree with Justice. “Racism” seems to be a new ‘it’ word being thrown around the internet. Political correctness be damned. But that’s just my two cents.
Justice, you seem to be confused on the difference between racism and culture clash. Call us when her family disowns your wife (note the very different stakes in the original post). Until then spare us your crying.
I won’t expect you to see the prejudice in the original post either.
I don’t think the issue is about her having a BF. If it were, he could’ve just left it at “Dad, this is my new boyfriend”. Instead he felt he needed to disclose the boyfriend’s name, to show why he thinks he needs to take such extreme action :-/
lol. you guys are weird. DEATH TO THE WEST!
Yeah, the guy should be all jolly and happy his daughter is gonna marry someone who practices a religion known for its fine handling of women.
But Christians like um did bad stuff too 100 years ago so there!
Sure you didn’t mean 10 minutes ago?
There was a stoning 10 minutes ago?
Are you sure it was Christians doing it?
1. You do know that only a couple of Islamic states stone women, don’t you. Agree there shouldn’t be any, but hey! Those Saudis are a bit crazy!
2. 4 states allow the death penalty for children. Saudi isn’t one of them, they wouldn’t stoop so low. The USA does.
Oh, or the kid that beat an elderly man to death, with stones, for “being gay”.
Only a few Islamic states? Well, that’s OK then.
Carry on, don’t forget to remove your blood-stained sandals before you come back in the house.
how is it diff from injecting poisons ?? hanging ?? and stuff ?? and it only happened like once in every i don’t know 12-10 years
You’re right. You DON’T know.
I’d call you “ignorant”, but apparently that term is reserved for people who actually know the answers to those questions.
“The USA does.”
Not since 2005! The death penalty can no longer be applied to citizens under the age of 18.
Stoning because of Bible-approved hatred of gay people:
http://www.herald.ie/national-news/in-brief-stone-attacker-kills-his-pal-70-2585760.html
So apparently all the men on the planet who are named Mohammed are Muslim now. It is totally impossible for ANY of them to have come from religious parents but not be religious themselves, amirite?
Oh my god, this racist father is such a racist! How does he dare worry that her daughter’s boyfriend, who comes from a culture widely known to abuse women, might not be a decent guy??? What a racist!
Oh and white people: stop trying to protect other cultures from what you believe is racism. All the decent Muslim guys I met were highly critical of their own culture and admitted without any shame that Muslim cultures were very abusive of women, which they strongly disapproved of.
Also, they can defend themselves if they feel like it, they aren’t weak inferior beings who need the superior white man to protect them.
(And I’m white too).
Finally, parents always worry about their children’s partners. If this guy’s daughter was dating an American, he might worry that the guy could be a vegetarian, promiscuous, too lazy to find a job… You pick.
Grow up, look at what the real world is like and stop living in the dream-world the media is trying to sell you.
Vegetarian? People seriously worry their children might hang around with veggies? What are they worried about?
Love the fail: “All the decent Muslim guys I met were highly critical of their own culture”. I think you’re missing the point that the boyfriend could easily be one of those decent guys, but the father doesn’t allow for that. This is called prejudice, and it’s supposed to go away as you meet more and more “decent” people from a culture. We’ll wait for you to catch up.
Omg guys replace the name Muhammed with the name John or Brent or Alex or something. It’s not a racial/religious thing. I know a man named Muhammed after his dad liking Muhammed Ali the fighter and he is neither Muslim nor from the Middle East. The fact that you ALL played the race card on this post is a FAIL.
Stop creating hate where none exists. Dad just doesn’t like his daughter dating.
You are extremely naive if you think the name Mohammad had nothing to do with the punchline.
EXTREMELY naive. What a dope.
You are too generous. I suggest this person replace their _brain_ with a more functional model.
Some peoples need to stop trying to defend the asshat.(if it was simply a copied joke, good.If it was a person that really meant this as a ”joke”, meh) Enough with the crazy theories : hmm maybe mohammed is just an irish catolic arian jew. It doesn’t mean anything. for god’s sake. it cannot be interpreted in any other way.
Ick. What an ignorant douchebag father.
Daughter. I am dissapoint. -_-
I’ve seen this before….
This is a joke from something… but I just can’t remember where
I take it no one here has ever heard the stories about women who married Muslim men, then after marriage went back to “visit” his family and was never allowed to come back to America or even contact their family again, but leaving their husband with an American passport? No?
Maybe it’s not really common, but it doesn’t mean it’s not true. Just because it relates to a certain ethnic group doesn’t mean it’s not true. Too many people nowadays are too fast to yell “racism” and never think that there are real reasons out there to be wary of the way some people believe (and I mean that in general, not just towards Muslims).
My name is Muhammad and I find this hilarious LOL it’s so funny
You assume that Muhammad is of a different culture. It’s entirely possible that he was given a traditional name to honor a family member, but raised in American culture.
not all Arabs are Muslims actually Christianity started there and Muslims do use the name Abraham Turks are mostly Muslims and this talking is what give those stupid airheads who call them self Muslim like alqaida a base for there ideas
Gave a thumbs up. I’m the 1337th. >:D
How sickening.
You’re right!
All these Morality Police making sure that everyone knows how enlightened they are by rushing to condemn any and all disrespect of non-christian religions are a drag, eh?
You jumped on me in another thread. How odd since we seem to think so much alike.
I just love parents attempts at humor especially when their equally dull friends nudge them on to keep it up. They are real cards, real office cut-ups to say the least, and I am. Mohommy should blow that house up on principle, I mean introducing him to her parents instead of blowing him in a dark alley? Where are these kid’s heads at?
ZZZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZzzz…
Muhammed is the most commonly used name on Earth. Read a f.cking book for once.
This is not about racism or xenophobia. The “joke” revolves around the name Mohammad. The major defining characteristic of the name is not race or nationality, but religion. I think that this is a safe assumption at the two sigma level. Thus it is clear that this parent has an irrational fear of religion. Did I say irrational, I clearly meant rational.
I have a friend named Mohammed. He’s a Christian. (His mother was Christian, his father was Muslim.) Apparently Africans don’t see anything unusual about Muslims and Christians intermarrying.
This is offensive. It needs to be taken down.
Maybe she is just too young to date? Why jump to the conclusion it was because of his name and not consider that maybe she is simply not allowed to have a boyfriend?
In post-9-11 America? It’s not jumping to conclusions. Americans are THIS paranoid about everyone who they deem “different.”
And Mohammed is well-educated, forget it. Most Americans don’t like smart people either. Look at the war Repig governors are waging against teachers and education….and the way the right still defends DUMBya.
If she’s old enough to drive a car, she’s old enough to date. If her parents were that controlling, she’d not have the car, or the iPhone, or the …
is it ok for everyone if i hate everyone?
I hate it how every one seems to be required to be sarcastic when they say something. It wears out sarcasm and verbal irony to the point of making it meaningless. Just because you say the opposite of what you mean doesn’t mean you are clever or correct. Ease up a little and you won’t come off as such a condescending prick, Ryan Waxx, Derek, and many others.
Wow, just wow at all the comments saying that this has to do with racism – It’s completely a parental thing, as soon as a child brings home a boyfriend/girlfriend this is immediately what the parents think…. In all honesty the name Mohammad could be replaced with Bob as I doubt very much this reaction had anything to do with what race/religion etc the boy is. The dad will immediately be against this relationship purely on the grounds that another “man” is trying to take the attentions of his child away.
We have enough racism in the world, no need to see it where it isnt there…
I just read the comment thread.. it makes me want to BELIEVE the US stereotype, and shoot myself because of the ignorance.
First of all what if Mohammed was a muslim american? And what if he was of arab descent? I mean everyone in the US is originally of some other nationality.. We live in an area of different cultures, and small insignificant things like religion or nationality isn’t supposed to get in the way of that incredible link we have. We are supposed to LEARN from different cultures not HATE on them.
This is horrible.
Mohammad goes in, stereo, TV, cars come out. You can’t explain that.
I really hope this is a joke. If not, it’s just awful.
When are the Aliens coming? I am sick of people.
Racism is de-evolution.
I don’t think this is funny. And I wouldn’t want to be part of a family that was this close-minded.
the instant I read anything involving the word “Mohammad”, I knew there was going to be a flame war.
His name is Mohammed, he must be a Muslim and all Muslims are terrorists. That is like saying his name is Patrick, he must be a Catholic, and all Catholics are Paedophiles.
Now, this amuses me. Not long ago, just being Irish in the UK had some people (stupid) people assuming you were a terrorist. Didn’t matter if you were Catholic or Protestant.
That’s true and it really underline’s That Guy’s point.
Maybe what some people here are missing is perspective. I suggest watching the trailer for Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner on IMDB. Or maybe rent the movie. It was racism in 1967, it’s racism now, only the exact skin tones change.
No, not really, because Muslims often look white. “Mohammed” is a rare name for Christians and people of other religions, but he could be of any nationality. Most Turkish people and many Tajik Afghans look as white as can be, blond and blue or green-eyed. Most Muslims are Indo-Europeans, just like northern Europeans.
excellent counter to my point that the exact skin tones vary.
It disgusts me that grown men can be so ignorrant
u knw when my muslim frnd invited her christian bf over to diner her parents were not only polite, they were warm and friendly
i guess that means that her muslim dad is FAR more tolerant than you
nice i sincerely hope his daughter will marry that guy
sweet
Just to point something out here: being a hater of Muslims is not being a racist bigot. It’s being a religionist bigot. Xenophobia comes in many forms. There are plenty of white Muslims, as well as Arab Christians (and many other amazing nationality-religion combos).
This joke doesn’t have a punch line. We don’t even know who Mohammad is. Doesn’t the Dad like him? it doesn’t even say. Lame.
Come to the uk, live in parts of London, Manchester or Yorkshire alongside the Muslim communities and then tell me who the racist bigots are. It’s frightening to see the intolerance shown by the Muslim community towards the non- Muslims.
Shh! Don’t burst the political correctness bubble: It protects the ignorant from the real world.
you know im an arabic muslim girl and i find this absurd. you pple watch movies about terrorist who ignorant pple put as arabian in movie, that doesnt mean that all arabian or muslim pple are terrorist. they always put jewish pple in our movies terrorist and im not judging them. racisim is ugly and so are the ignorant pple writing all theese comments about muslim pple.
oh and shame on whoever blogged this, many arabic pple are fans of this website, guess no one’s guna check out a racist website anymore eh?
370 comments and counting…I love it…
This reminds me of my uncles telling me not to get a muslim boyfriend. I certainly don’t think they hate muslims, they just have an idea that muslims are so and so, and thus no good for their little girl. T_T
There are different levels to bigotry. You don’t have to hate to be a bigot. But to discount half a billion people on the planet as suitable dating prospects because of stereotyping is bigotry.
And you are an Idiot.
Please explain why you believe I am an idiot?
I’m Jewish, I dated a Lebanese Muslim girl for a couple of years. Her family treated me like a son and had no problem with it.
Every Muslim I’ve ever met has been tolerant, well-educated, sensible, hard-working and decent, law-abiding citizens. Which oddly enough is more than I can say about some of the white people I’ve met in my life.
Wow….I’m a Muslim and I dated a Lebanese Jewish guy for a few years.
O.o
’twas very interesting. There’s a lot more in common between the two cultures than most people would think……
Sick, sick, sick! She’s been GIVEN a TV, stereo, iPod and car?!! Spoiled brat.
so…let me get this straight, failbook friends, it’s ok to post fails that show bigotry toward Christians, but not toward Muslims? wow…equality for all.
awful lot of racist apologists in here
This would have been funny if he didn’t use a race identifying name. If he just left it as “this is my new boyfriend…” Could have played on the whole “dad hates daughter’s choice in boys” without sounding racist. And maybe he’s not racist and just doesn’t like any boy she brings home but this one just happens to be named Mohammad… but it just doesn’t look that way by others. PS, I dated someone named Mohammad… He was not Muslim but one set of grandparents were.
I really take offense of you using my name in this, The point being a name is just a name and it’s the person behind the name. I am of Irish ancestry and I take offense to my name being associated to a black man just because the name is Tyrone, I am named for the 2 counties that my family came from in Ireland and I take offense that every time someone hear’s my name the automatically think that I’m black.
These days you can say that your proud to be white with out being tagged as a racist.
Well I am proud to be white and I would not dis-own my daughter but I would council her on her choice of a boy friend knowing how women are treated in that religion.
I have read there Koran and my understanding of it is that it is not a book of peace, but a book of intolerance and hate, NO where in the Bible doe’s if you the right to kill someone just because they don’t believe the way you do, but this book preach’s exactly that.
How can you be proud to be white? Proud to have a certain skin colour? That is just weird. I think you will find that the Bible has several verses which require you to kill someone because they act or think differently from “you” – the believer in God’s laws. People don’t act upon the bible endorsed stonings and executions these days – though you do get the odd nutter. There are some believers in Islam who do firmly believe in the laws of the Qu’ran and act upon them. They are 600 years behind us on moving on from that. The odd countries that do do this are new and have used their religious book as their first source for their legal system. Just as western nations used the Bible.
We don’t, for example, lock up or execute homosexuals these days. There are even those who fully endorse allowing homosexuals to marry. These changes have only happened in the last few decades and still have work to do. When the followers of Christianity are beyond believing that such things are an abomination, then they can cast the first figurative stone at Islam.
FAIL. I’ve never heard of any non-black Tyrones.
Fail – I have never met a black Tyrone, only white ones. Vast majority were Irish. I don’t live in the USofA though.
In after upset durka-durkas.
How do you know that Dad doesn’t already know this kid? Why do so many people ASSUME “racism” (which is ludicrous, it’s about culture not race)?
Maybe they already know “Mohammad”, and know that he’s trouble, and yet the daughter brought him home anyway? But no, I see interminable discussions about “racism” (which is ridiculous, since when is a religion a race?) and … nazism?
There is nothing more intolerant than a “progressive” pretending to be “tolerant”.
Alright, the status is meant to be a joke.
I don’t think it’s funny at all, for obvious reasons.
The comments below are even worse.
This is FAIL on so many socially and morally, ethically and just intellectually important levels. Impressive.
BOYFRIEND?!?! i don’t think so! I don’t care if his name is Gentleman Sweetheart Virginson!
RELIGION…EEEEEWWWW
I agree…. Failbook should know better than to put something like this here. It’s not funny.
Um… racism isn’t funny. Racism is for douchebags who think that your skin color, religion or anything about your looks depends on where you stand in the society. Seriously, if you think this is funny… well I’m not gonna post that word here, but you’re quite humourless. Btw NOT ALL MUSLIMS ARE TERRORIST JACKASS
This gets me pissed off seriously
read up about muslims. there are many more reasons to want them to go away. ESPECIALLY if you’re a woman (im assuming you are) ya it’s a bit racist but any father should be smart enough to think that way. If you’re not dumb enough to be muslim then you should for sure be protecting your daughter from them.
“read up about muslims”? How about actually talking to some! I have known muslims all my life and every single one of them has been a decent human being! I would be wanting to protect any daughter from ignorant bigots like you!
IIRC Mohammed is the most frequently used male name worldwide!
im from lebanon and im not muslim
you all are idiots
and one day you’ll know
Where I live at: you don’t get a car if you live on allowance and with your parents. But her parents are retards anyway. Her mother at least.
