Bombing, beheading, hijacking, mosque sermons — these are just a few of the instances where the proclamation “Allahu akbar” is shouted. But what does it really mean?
The mainstream media tells us that the Islamic statement is a pledge of allegiance to the god of the Prophet Muhammad and is an admirable demonstration of faith and piety. It’s portrayed as a humble utterance of praise that is too often misused by jihadists during acts of terror. However, the real meaning behind the most controversial term of our time is much more sinister than the liberal left would have you believe.
Recently, Jamie Glazov of The Glazov Gang interviewed Daniel Greenfield, an Israeli-born writer with the Freedom Center, about the truth behind the infamous expression that both moderate Muslims and devout jihadists shout.
Although the literal translation of “Allahu akbar” is “Allah is great,” Greenfield explains that the intended meaning is “Allah is greater than your god. Allah is supreme; he’s supreme to your god, he’s supreme to all other gods, he’s supreme to you.”
The real meaning of the declaration is that Islam, its god, and its followers are supreme to all other beliefs, gods, and humans. This cliché is often shouted, not as a humble attribution or praise to Allah, but a warning directed at non-Muslims, to whom the declarer is expressing that the infidel will submit, either by law or by sword.
Greenfield explains that the origin of the statement goes back to when Muhammad and his troops attacked a Jewish tribe, intimidating them with shouts of “Allah is the greatest!” This original usage details the sinister and violent meaning behind the boisterous term we so often hear.
This same superiority complex has been found throughout history in the most nefarious regimes, most notably Nazi Germany, which believed that Hitler’s political ideology was elite enough to justify the slaughter of millions of innocent people. This belief is not only reiterated in the Quran, it is passed down through generations of Muslims, fueling their inherent hatred for Jews, Christians, and any other who refuses to submit to Islamic rule.
Greenfield adds that the true message of “Allahu akbar” is outlined in the Quran 61:9, which reads, “He [Allah] it is who has sent his messenger [Muhammad] with guidance and the religion of truth to make it victorious over all religions, even though the infidels may resist.”
Resistance of the infidels, or refusal to convert to Islam, is the reason for Allah’s command to behead, enslave, and conquer. Until the Caliphate is established, implementing Sharia law in every nation on earth, Muslims must not rest, but are required to continue violent jihad.
Until the left will acknowledge that Islam is not a religion, but is a political ideology hellbent on conquering the world, terrorist groups like ISIS will continue to slaughter and expand their tyranny, resulting in the defeat of the West by our own political correctness.

So how would one say in Arabic, “God is great” without doctrinal theological meaning?
It’s a peaceful thing. Translates to “Aloha Snackbar!”
If you have to tell people how great you are means you are not.
Islamic scum: “ My God betta than yo God”
And then they flip you off......
People need to do more research before they post these things. The acclamation is more fundamental to Islam than just a shout at a tribe of Jews.
From its beginnings, Islam has spread through the ideology that if I can defeat you, our god is greater than your god. You must submit to our god. The bedouin culture was a multi-religious tribal culture that was subdued one tribe at a time through this understanding. Defeating your tribe means our god is greater than your god.
Knowing this interpretation gives you greater understanding into the full mindset of Islamists. They aren't allowed to suffer defeat. To suffer defeat is to admit that their god is not greater. That is why you see ridiculous scenes like Baghdad Bob proclaiming our defeat while we are a mile from his own location. That is why no Islamic country can accept Israel's existence. To do so acknowledges the conquest of lands that were once under Sharia Law. Islam is only allowed setbacks, never defeat. Once a land has been conquered, they will return and they will be relentless in that pursuit.
After that, they will move on to the rest of the world. Their overall goal is to turn Dar al Harb (the world at war) into Dar al Islam (the world submitted). Whether they call themselves "moderate" or "extremist" that is the goal of them all.
The situation was that people of Israel had taken to Baal worship, a faith that added a lot of whores to its rituals and thus gained immediate popularity. Elijah (not the one with the bears, that was Elisha) decided that the people had to choose between Baal and God. Rather than write a series of books or give a bunch of boring speeches, Elijah invited 450 Baal prophets to a contest, where both sides would set up an animal sacrifice. Whichever God could rain down fire on its sacrifice would be the one everybody worshiped.It's brilliant in its simplicity, and we're surprised religious debates were ever carried out any other way after that. You can raise all the intellectual challenges you want about faith and the origins of the universe, but at the end of the day, you have to worship the god who can set you on fire. It's common sense.
We like to think Elijah stood in front of the howling column of heavenly fire, straightened his robes, turned to the crowd and said, "Thus, my opponent's argument falls." Then, he finished the debate in the way that all debates should be finished: by having the losers slaughtered.

It's pronounced something like TSUNG-wah, and a Chinese person will tell you it means "middle country." What's wrong with that? Hey, it's "in the middle." Brings to mind our expression "middle of the road."
But that's not really accurate. A more exact translation would be "center country" - or perhaps "central country" - as in "center of the world" or "center of the universe."

.”Then they flip you off......” ..OR CUT YOUR HEAD
Stop me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's any other way around it: the Arabic al-ilah has a cognate in Hebrew el-elohi, which as I recall, simply means "the god"...
Its like hearing a bunch of sword swinging Japanese shouting Banzai-— That means 10,000 Years. Better be ready for combat! We have nothing like it in American—Maybe Geronimo? Or the Rebel Yell in the Civil War?
My work colleague, Akmed, heard me ranting about my c**t of a neighbour and he gave me the following advice. “Think what my holy prophet Mohammed would do in your situation”.
So I beheaded him and married his 9 year old daughter.
