Bombing, beheading, hijacking, mosque sermons these are just a few of the instances where the proclamation Allahu akbar is shouted. But what does it really mean?
The mainstream media tells us that the Islamic statement is a pledge of allegiance to the god of the Prophet Muhammad and is an admirable demonstration of faith and piety. Its portrayed as a humble utterance of praise that is too often misused by jihadists during acts of terror. However, the real meaning behind the most controversial term of our time is much more sinister than the liberal left would have you believe.
Recently, Jamie Glazov of The Glazov Gang interviewed Daniel Greenfield, an Israeli-born writer with the Freedom Center, about the truth behind the infamous expression that both moderate Muslims and devout jihadists shout.
Although the literal translation of Allahu akbar is Allah is great, Greenfield explains that the intended meaning is Allah is greater than your god. Allah is supreme; hes supreme to your god, hes supreme to all other gods, hes supreme to you.
The real meaning of the declaration is that Islam, its god, and its followers are supreme to all other beliefs, gods, and humans. This cliché is often shouted, not as a humble attribution or praise to Allah, but a warning directed at non-Muslims, to whom the declarer is expressing that the infidel will submit, either by law or by sword.
Greenfield explains that the origin of the statement goes back to when Muhammad and his troops attacked a Jewish tribe, intimidating them with shouts of Allah is the greatest! This original usage details the sinister and violent meaning behind the boisterous term we so often hear.
This same superiority complex has been found throughout history in the most nefarious regimes, most notably Nazi Germany, which believed that Hitlers political ideology was elite enough to justify the slaughter of millions of innocent people. This belief is not only reiterated in the Quran, it is passed down through generations of Muslims, fueling their inherent hatred for Jews, Christians, and any other who refuses to submit to Islamic rule.
Greenfield adds that the true message of Allahu akbar is outlined in the Quran 61:9, which reads, He [Allah] it is who has sent his messenger [Muhammad] with guidance and the religion of truth to make it victorious over all religions, even though the infidels may resist.
Resistance of the infidels, or refusal to convert to Islam, is the reason for Allahs command to behead, enslave, and conquer. Until the Caliphate is established, implementing Sharia law in every nation on earth, Muslims must not rest, but are required to continue violent jihad.
Until the left will acknowledge that Islam is not a religion, but is a political ideology hellbent on conquering the world, terrorist groups like ISIS will continue to slaughter and expand their tyranny, resulting in the defeat of the West by our own political correctness.
We're expected to believe that it is though. I wonder what the spin will be when they nuke Rome...
Yes, let’s take a look at what the Catholic Church has always said about Islam (until the 1960’s, that is):
I’m especially troubled that people who otherwise have good sense just let their brains roll over and play dead on this subject. Doctrine may develop as we gain greater understanding but it does not mutate from one belief into another.
