Pet Peeve of the Week: It's HezBoALLAH. Get it?

Posted on 07/22/2006 9:11:02 PM PDT by AnnaZ

Is it minor? Is it just me? I mean, obviously we KNOW we're talking about crazed jihadists here and all, but just when did the A get dropped from Hezboallah (the Army of Allah)?

If it's stupid political correctness, let's just stop it now. Whether it's H-I-Z is unimportant, whether it's B-O or B-U is inconsequential, but losing the tie-in to "Allah" is dishonest.

They'll take money from Syria, they'll take money from Iran, they'll take your lunch-money if they can; but please let's not lose sight of who they really think they're working for.

While I'm taking up pixels ranting about peeves, could we also stop posting anything from the New York Times? They just plain suck.

Including every media organ (no pun intended)?

No, it's as sinister as the red/blue states switch of 2000! (LOL)

But seriously, they've eliminated the ALLAH part of the name. I really think it's PC-infiltration.

Actually, I think it's probably spelled and pronounced correctly. Arabic is very weird. When words have different tenses and meanings, they don't change the ending of the word, they change sounds in the beginning and middle. Thus, Islam and Muslim. The word is -sl-m, the parts where the dashes are determine the meaning, gender, number and so on.

So, Allah, or the word for their moon god, whose forms are variations of -lah, when followed by the hezbo part of hezbollah, might just be lah. An Arabic speaker could verify.

I don't know, but I'd love to have an official Arab-speaker's take on it. For instance, I know that with insha'allah... (if it's God's will)... they pronounce the ending a and the beginning a.

(Plus it usually was Hezboallah in the past. Still exists online.)

On some of the other forums, it's....Hiz'b'Allah.

Righto! But I call 'em all 'Hezzians' -- Islamic mercenaries who fight on behalf of all the Islamofascists against all non-Islamics. After the fashion of the German "Hessians" who fought for Britain against the Colonists during the Revolutionary War.

Plus, if you catch on the z's, it kinda sounds like the (neo)nazis that they are. A twofer!

Well, frankly, since you asked... I'm a little over the PTBs and intelligentsia behaving like Mahmoud Ahmonajihad is bluffing, or maybe just a wee bit nutty, when he continually mentions his ("soon to be realized!") desire of erasing Israel.

There's so much "religion of peace" garbage being flung about that even when these folks talk plain we still think it's an issue that deserves more "cultural sensitivity".

AARRGGHH!!

Or Hizb'Allah. Either way it translates as "Party of G-d." (Before I get a 5000-word flame on why Allah != G-d of the Bible, that was a translation, not an endorsement.)

My bitch here is the dropping of the "A" -- to me it's definitive and its lack seems revisionist. (As in, they keep trying to separate these wackos from their religion.)

Yes, MaMooed Amafoolojihad does need to be exterminated yesterday, along with a few thundred thousand of the demonspawn of Islam. The nexus of mass destruction weaponry and absolute insane fanaticism for a religion has never existed in the history of civilization. We may not make it past this epoch with our civilization in tact because I'm certain there is not the fortitude to act on our survival behalf so long as democrat partisan fools continue to piss all over this nation's unity simply to empower democrats through divide and conguer. [It was my turn ...]

I think it started when the media at the start of the Iraq war refused to recognize that "Allah" is not God, so would say they were praying to God, etc. Now they say Hezbollah means "Party of God." No, Allah is the religion of Islam's name for their god, but that is not the true God, the only God as revealed in Scripture.

Anyone can make a claim theirs is the right god, like the Mormons, but when they redefine who Jesus Christ is (the spirit-brother of Lucifer, not eternal God, not the only God), then they have re-defined the correct Jesus out of existence. We as a country need to realize our only blessings have been because of the right God, the only God blessing us, and we need Him and cannot continue rejecting Him, or we will end up being as uncivilized a nation as we see in the backwards Islamic and heathen nations.
