McCain: Saying Allahu Akbar is Like Saying Thank God
Fox News & Commentary ^ | September 3, 2013 | Todd Starnes

Posted on 09/03/2013 9:44:32 AM PDT by Timber Rattler

Sen. John McCain said shouting “Allahu Akbar” is the same as saying “thank God.”

McCain (R-AZ) made that stunning theological pronouncement during an interview with Brian Kilmeade on Fox & Friends.

For someone to say Allahu Akbar is about as offensive as someone saying thank God,” McCain said.

Kilmeade told the senator he had an issue with recently obtained video that reportedly shows Syrian rebels shooting down a Syrian fighter jet and shouting, “Allahu Akbar!”

“I have a problem helping those people out, if they’re screaming that after a hit,” Kilmeade said.

McCain then gave us a glimpse at his vast knowledge of theology.

“Would you have a problem with American Christians saying, thank God, thank God?” McCain retorted. “That’s what they’re saying. Come on. Of course they’re Muslims, but they’re moderates.”

I can only respect this man’s history as a prisoner so far. He’s been IMO one of the worst politicians regarding the interest of this country we ever have had in modern times.

I would NOT be unhappy if he retired soon, which could never be too soon.

“Thank Allah, we’re killing more infidels”. That’s what they’re saying McCain.

I'm sure that McLame can straighten out the misunderstanders of Islam with his superior knowledge and reasoning.

The things he’s been saying and doing are getting crazier all the time.

McCain was a crazy bag o’ shiite decades ago. The only good thing he had going was his drug stupified thorazine goddess of a wife. That and his Napolean-like temper.

I have yet to hear of a Christian shouting “Thank God” as he pulls the ripcord on suicide vest.

Just when I thought this wasted relic could not be more stupid.

Yes, the moslems are thanking their moon god allah for helping them to destroy life everywhere they spread their venomous, bilious, barbaric savagery.

For details about just how stupid McPain’s statement is, see

When “Thank God” is the opening line to a terrorist attack, then I’m going to be worried when I hear a voice behind me saying “Allahu Akbar”.

If McCain had been at Fort Hood he could have said “Amen” when Major Hassan said “Allahu Akbar”.

***Sen. John McCain said shouting “Allahu Akbar” is the same as saying “thank God.” ***

So, at Ft Hood, the cry was “Thank god I am killing American soldiers!”?

Thank god I’m blowing myself up!

Thank god I’m flying this plane into this building?

McCain has drunk the Kool-Ade. Probably developed a taste for it at the Hanoi Hilton.

I can’t think of any Christians who went on a murder spree while shouting “Thank God, Thank God, Thank God!”

John McCain is an NWO scumbag. Him and his family can drop dead.
