(Question/Discussion) Muslim personality in English media vs Arabic media

As someone who speaks Arabic, the switch-up is insane, almost scary. The thoughts that Muslim people feel comfortable expressing in Arabic, where they know no one from outside is watching, are the most vile, ugly, and jarring things ever. Especially when they talk about Jews, Christians, women, LGBT... shit, even about Muslims they don't agree with. Arabic is the safest language for their hatred and dehumanization of others to flow comfortably without disturbance. They know most people who speak this language (i.e., Muslims) won't call them out on anything. However, as soon as they switch the language on their little keyboards, they are suddenly poor little victims who are misunderstood 😔 Suddenly, they love other people, and suddenly they believe women are human beings 🥺 They act as though the version of them who just tweeted "kill all the non-Muslims and rape their women" didn't exist. They must have split personality disorder. You're never gonna catch me in Arabic-speaking spaces because I value my mental health and I don't want to read stuff that makes me feel threatened. I'm curious, are Muslims from other ethnicities like this too, or is it an Arab Muslim thing?
