What is the "Riz test"?

Here's a way to see if a Muslim character on television or in a film is based on a lazy cultural stereotype. Put them to the Riz test. 🕌

    How does this test correspond to reality ? 1. The most violent acts of terrorism are from members of this religion so... 2. I've known some and they all appeared very quiet, at least adult ones. 3. Superstitious ? Well in their book if you hit a dead body with a cow's foot, he might resurrect... Also they hate dogs for religious reasons. 4. Their book says to not befriend a misbeliever and to hit them in the neck. Also, they hate the West openly. 5. Misogynist ? During the ACN '19 some videos show them not accepting female presence during their celebrations. Oppressed ? In college, veiled girls will eat at your table but not greet you nor talking to you if you're a man... So, do they all fail this test in real life ?

    Muslim producers should make movies portraying Americans as the evil beings they were and still are.

    I am a non Muslim living in a Muslim majority country. Some of these stereotypes are true. 1. Religiously fanatical to the point of not wanting to mix with non muslims. Regarding non Muslims as non believers who will burn in hell. 2. Guys are misogynistic. Having multiple or very young wives is quite common. 3. Extremely anti Semitic. But ironically they still use Jewish products/ software This is just from my personal experience.

    So I guess ISIS was all Islamic actors and not terrorists.

    But there is so much more about Muslim than being a bomber. So why not see more positive things about our Muslim than negative. Ijs

    For the time being and foreseeable future, this is the only role they will get in any movie. What do expect from the, to wave American flag and say ''I Love America"?
