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 long since decided that whatever McLame thought the opposite viewpoint would be the correct one.

I despise Republicans trying to act like democrats.

Silly, they are Democrats the same way that Impalas are GMs.

It’s time to pull his credit line. He was a POW, then he became a felonious Senator who happens to have an R after his name.

He’s a tool of the jackhole in the WH, and really, that’s the end of it.

Allahu Akbar = Allah is greater. Known as “takbir”, the phrase “Allahu Akbar” is used as a common form of THANKSGIVING, expression of faith or war cry.

Allah = moon god.

Lucifer (Isaiah 14:12 KJV) = Helel Ben Shachar (Isaiah 14:12 in the original Hebrew) = Cresent Moon and Morning Star (actual meaning). The symbol of the Crescent Moon and Morning Star is on top of many mosques as well as on the flags of many Islamic countries.

According to John McCain (RINO-AZ), Allahu Akbar is the same as saying “Thank God”.

So who is this “god” that McCain is thanking and serving, whether McCain knows it or not? I don’t like the implications when I connect the dots.

McCain - the phrase means “God is greater” not “thank God”. But does it matter what they are saying when they are cheering over a missile attack or while cutting off someone’s head? McCain missed the point. They are cheering while killing someone.

I wonder if this senile old fool yelled “Thank God!” when he dropped bombs on Vietnam?

True story that happen in Moscow few years ago. One women visited her female friend in her apartment. She was wearing sport suit. Both of them had too much to drink. For some reason the rubber band on the sport pants of the visiting friend was torn. The homeowner told her that her husband is electrician and she can give her some electrical wires to put around the pants to hold them up. Good. The friend went back home very late at night completely drunk. In some dark alley she was approached by two men who attempted to rape her. Suddenly they noticed wires around her waist and was shocked. She, drunk as a skunk, held the wires in her hands and started to scream “allah akhbar”.Two man dropped everything in assumption that she have a bomb strapped around her waist and took off with a speed that could rival Olympic sprinters.
Point is that “allah akhbar” can help sometimes..:-)

It`s the Muslim War Cry in Battle = an atavistic borrowing by the Moslim armies from the early Roman God of War, MARS, since Rome had occupied that region for hundreds of years

“going into battle the Roman soldiers had to shake their spears while shouting ‘Mars vigila’ (”Mars awaken”).

When’s the last time a suicide bomber screamed “Thank God” before he blew everyboy up?

There is a reason he was in the bottom of his Academy class. And, unlike his grandfather and father, never made flag rank.

Take his little blue pills away since he uses them with Obama more than his wife.
