  • Discrimination based on squadnames

    Rule 4 on A1 (Grid coordinate), states that Discrimination is not allowed. How does Upper Staff define discrimination?

    I bring this up because I don't think squadowners that run TWD squads, should mock any race, religion, or person, just because they want to be smart about it.

    A new squad JIHADSQUAD was made, and I didn't care personally for the squadname, but their TWD page is just ridiculous. I'm sure any real Muslim that plays this game would be offended, just like they were offended when the Danish newspaper decided to print "mock cartoons" of their Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him)

    Sure this is just a 2D spaceship game. But how far is too far, even when it comes to mockery?

    I do not say this because I'm muslim, and it's obvious I'm not, but in general. Are we as a society just blind to such mockery and discrimination based on religion, and just choose to do it in a smart way to get away with it?

    To me it's not "just a squadname" and "just a squad", it's lack of respect for the Muslim culture.

    Please take this as a serious note.

    Best Regards.

    Lol, as much as this could be funny, it seriously isn't

    But I'm guessing staff was too blind to notice something of the such.

      If muslims didn't want a squad named after them, maybe they shouldn't have coined the word "Jihad," with its extreme meaning and convenient rhyming potential.

        Upon interrogation with some of it's members, none of them knew basics on Islam, like Salat (Prayer), 5 pillars of faith, they didn't even know what Shahada (Testimony of Faith) was...

        Now how are you Muslim if you don't know what Shahada is?

        That lead me to believe quite obviously that they were not muslim. As such, that lead me to believe that they were infact mocking Islam.

                This is like that squad called I LOVE NIGHT, which when cut off in the F2 menu loses its last 2 characters.

                    i find the word squad offensive to my religious beliefs.

                    Therefore all squads must dissolved.

                              Gerry, I agree with you.

                              On a side note, I think that BasingCrew discriminates against people who are new to basing. Maybe they should be dissolved
