I have noticed what seems to be some kind of unwritten rule in Islamic discourse, which is that those who are from lands that were part of Islam from the early days (such as Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Egypt, Maghreb etc) seem to be viewed as having more authority to speak about Islam than some of the newer converts from the Indian subcontinent, Turkey, Indonesia, Somalia, and Black Africa. If someone from outside the Middle East/North Africa stronghold of Islam tries to speak about Islam he is mocked and abused>"You stupid Paki, what do you know about Islam?">"Dirty raisin headed Ethiopian thinks he knows Islam kek">"This white fag converted 2 years ago and dares to speak about Islam"etcPrime examples of this are Mohammed Hijab, Dr Hotha and Daniel Haqiqatjou. Because one is Egyptian, one is Saudi, and one is Persian they are given an incredible amount of leeway and excuses that someone from Nigeria, Pakistan or Sri Lanka is not afforded.

Does not apply to Turkey because Turks conquered the Arabs and civilized them
>>18724536Pakistani Bro loves cleaning Gulf Arab toilets while being insulted by them, they are brothers in Islam after all
