“Bad Religion,” a track from Frank Ocean’s 2012 debut album “Channel Orange,” explores themes of unrequited love and religion. The lyrics include a reference to the Islamic phrase “Allahu Akbar<\/em>,” in a derogatory sense.<\/p>\n The manner in which the phrase is used in the song’s lyrics has been interpreted by some as inappropriate and offensive to Muslims.<\/p>\n Ocean’s lyrics include the lines “He said \u2018Allahu Akbar<\/em>\u2019; I told him \u2018Don\u2019t curse me\u2019,” which have sparked controversy for their use of the phrase in a context that some consider disrespectful. Despite the song’s release over a decade ago, it has recently come under scrutiny for its potential to offend religious sensitivities.<\/p>\n Members of the BTS Army, the fanbase devoted to the K-pop group, have voiced a range of reactions to RM’s post. While some are expressing their disappointment and hurt, others want to give the benefit of doubt to RM, given his past advocacy work for UNICEF and other causes.<\/p>\n\t\t https:\/\/twitter.com\/doyoungscity\/status\/1691866576490820083?s=20<\/p>\n One tweep pointed out that RM has always been an atheist, and this isn’t the first time he has disrespected religion, sharing a screenshot of his translated lyrics to “God Rap”.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/hopefullgz\/status\/1692144480097570897?s=20<\/p>\n Visit the Lens\u00a0celebrity portal<\/a> to find out more about your favorite\u00a0stars.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" K-pop star and leader of the world renowned boy band BTS, Kim Nam Joon (aka RM) has come under fire for allegedly promoting Islamophobia.
