The Meaning Of 'Allah Akbar!'
IBD Editorials ^ | January 5, 2011 | Staff

Posted on 01/06/2011 6:35:49 AM PST by Kaslin

Political Correctness: "Allah Akbar!" cheered Egyptian Muslims while trampling the remains of dozens of Christians eviscerated in last Friday's suicide bombing. Yet we're assured that the phrase has nothing to do with Islam.

Video taken at the gruesome scene outside a church in Alexandria, Egypt, clearly shows local rubberneckers whooping it up as they shout "Allah Akbar!" — Arabic for "Allah is greatest!" We heard the same celebratory chant from Palestinians and other Muslims around the world as the Twin Towers burned.

The list of Islamic terrorists heard shouting the phrase before launching attacks is long. The 9/11 hijackers themselves screamed "Allah Akbar!" before crashing their planes. More recently, Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was heard crying "Allah Akbar!" before massacring 13 fellow soldiers at Fort Hood.

Never mind all that, say apologists intent on separating Islam from terror. The expression is benign, they insist.

"The guy who gets up on the plane and says 'Allah!' or whatever and then blows the plane up is not making a statement about his faith," American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee head James Zogby said last year, speaking to congressional staffers.

Zogby says it's more an expression of frustration, like Christians blurting out their Savior's name after accidently hammering their thumb. "Somebody says 'Jesus Christ!' they're not making a statement of faith," he explained. "They're saying, I'm really mad right now."

The comparison is absurd.

This story deserves dark satire, for some things require that we either laugh or cry at their stupidity.

“Can we coin a name for these who deny the reality of what muslims are really like.

Maybe:

Headinthesanders, headsuptheirassers of lyingsonovabitchers.”

We already have two: liberals and democrats.

It amazes me that there is even one person who's sober who would believe that nonsense.

Zogby must get down on his knees every night and thank his moon god that there are so many gullible Americans out there.

When did they convert?

They were raised Catholic in a Lebanese family, just like Danny Thomas (St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital) was.

Of course, it is possible to be raised Catholic and end up a muzzie-sympathizing Lebanese jerk.

Helen Thomas is the classic example besides Jimmy Z.

They both support palistine and both support muslim terrorist groups. I suggest you ask them why they support satan and his death cult. I do not think either are Christians... they may have been... but Christians do not support muslim extremists... any more than they support satan himself.

I wouldn’t care to have anything to do with either one of them.

They are very stupid to favor a group who call their people infidels and have been slaughtering them for centuries.

Extreme Jew-hate is the likely explanation.

There used to be a guy running around the Middle East named Dr. George Habash whose background was similar to the Zog’s and he ran a terrorist group called the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. I think he is dead now but the group probably lives on.

"Jimmy, I never heard of our pilots shouting “JC” when they shoot down enemy aircraft. Or when they shell Taliban positions."

Watch out, it's those Christians!
