your southern baptist fire and brimstone preacher is a psychotic white supremacist in all likelihood, hezbollah has repeatedly thanked and shown comradery with everyone around the world supporting palestine. i see no mention of non-believers burning in hell here either. I’m sorry you have trauma but it doesnt give you the right to call them religious nuts
Exactly, which is why I say, every time I see them translated I’m taken aback. I am very aware that there’s a very different context. It still throws me off when I see it because I (rightly) do not normally think of Hezbollah and the white supremacist preacher as the same and so seeing them use the same language feels super fucking weird.
I guess this is a better way to say it: Because of my background, those words to me have a white, Christian supremacist implication to them. When I hear people talk like that (in English) it is a very reasonable assumption to make that they’re a psycho that should be avoided at all costs. And that is not the case here, which is why it’s strange.
I shouldn’t have said “religious nuts” I suppose, that was my bad. Idk, could we maybe translate to synonyms that aren’t exactly how the Christian far-right talks?

I noticed that when reading the translated version of the Qur’an, feels completely different than in Arabic

most importantly the original statement was in Arabic and translated to English, very different context for words.
kinda what I meant with flowerly language as well but yes you’re right it should be directly pointed out
