There's absolutely no question that the Kenyan Clown is well aware of the meaning and significance of "Allah Akbar."
From the New York Times of March 6, 2007:
I was a little Jakarta street kid, he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics and more likely to be aware of their nationalism if he once studied the Koran with them.Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (itll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.
(Kudos to the New York Times for restoring general access to this very important article; they had recently put it behind a paywall, but it is now again generally available to the public.)
The very first words of the adhan which the Kenyan Clown so happily recited for the New York Times are "Allah Akbar", repeated two or four times. The Kenyan Clown believes the sound of this recitation to be "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth".
Yes, the clown knows exactly what it means but is not about to admit to anyone that he knows.
Thanks for the links.
