"We deleted a tweet about a Fresno slaying suspect shouting "God is great." It failed to note he said it in Arabic. A new tweet is upcoming."
Oh my! Don’t repeat that! The media will start pegging him as a right wing nut.
They’ll still get it wrong.
Properly translated, it means “OUR god is great (er than your God)”, or “Our god is superior”
If it weren’t for fake news from the AP, we’d get none at all.
On an unrelated note is Obama back in the lower 48
Allah is greater would be the correct translation of Allahu Akbar.
Calling the creator of the universe God, makes it very easy for the beast system to slip in any entity and claim it is the same _god_. Which is happening more and more...
That is why His name is YHVH and not God. God is a title. You cannot confuse YHVH with Allah. One is the creator and the other is the destroyer.
I’m giving OANN a try.
DirecTV 347.
So far so good.
“AP Covers up for Muslim terrorism” would be an accurate headline.
Allah Akbar does not mean “god is great”
It means “My god, “Allah” is greater than your god”
Completely different meaning and they know it.

It’s possible that you could translate it your way. I think the best way to translate it into English is “God is the Greatest Thing!” The implication is that no other entity rivals the majesty of God. Your typical Muslim would not even admit that other gods truly exist. Much like Christians will not admit to the reality of any other god rather than the Trinitarian God (Father/Son/Holy Spirit).
“Allahu Akbar!” was certainly a battle cry during the Crusades. I’m not sure how far the exclamation dates back. I believe it was also the last words of the 9-11 hijackers who slammed into the World Trade Center buildings.
“...just like their god for the last eight years told them.”
Only eight? Well, using The Puppet, maybe just eight. But their actual “god” has been hawking that bit of blasphemy in one form or another ever since Eden.
Libs and jihadis have been bedfellows for a while now.
This racist and Islamic killing sure got off the “news” quickly, didn’t it?
Now wait a minute — Allah give out 72 grapes when you die. Now that’s classy.
Allahu Nutbar!
The AP must be waging a war on women. They want to shield muslims from being made fringe because they ...
1. support the genital mutilation of females
2. the stoning of homosexuals
3. want women raped before executed so that they burn in hell forever.
