During one of the more charged moments of the chaotic US presidential debate, former Vice President Joe Biden dropped a phrase from everyday Muslim and Arab vocabulary and lit up the internet.
Pressing President Donald Trump on when the American public would get to see his long-anticipated tax returns, Biden questioned: "When? Inshallah?" In certain vernacular, "inshallah" serves as a non-committal response to a question.
Taken literally, the term "inshallah," consists of three Arabic words (In sha' Allah) which translate into "if God wills it." Spiritually it represents a submission to God's will. It can perhaps be seen as the Muslim counterpart to the Yiddish adage, "Man plans, and God laughs."
Children in the Muslim world will often say that when a parent responds to a question with "inshallah," it signals an unfulfilled promise, while unreliable timekeeping is lightheartedly chalked up to "inshallah timing."
"Yes, Joe Biden said 'Inshallah' during the #Debates2020 debate," tweeted political commentator Wajahat Ali. "It literally means 'God willing,' but it's often used to mean, 'Yeah, never going to happen.' Example: My wife: Will you finally pick up your socks? Me: Inshallah. No, saying inshallah doesn't make you Muslim."
However, earlier this week, The New York Times reported that Trump had paid no federal income taxes in 10 out of 15 years beginning in 2000 because he reported losing significantly more than he made, citing more than two decades of tax information the paper obtained.
While many saw Biden's use of the phrase as a nod to their own experiences, others saw it as derogatory and drawing on cultural stereotypes about the Muslim and Arab world.

Yep, a “dog whistle” to his jihadi friends.
I don’t see it as pitiful, but as dangerous.
You actually got me to change my sig line with that comment.
Biden: "If you Muslim terrorists don't for me, you ain't Muslims."
Handler: "Joe, that wasn't the line on the index card, now was it? Remember we warned you about that? We're gonna tell Jill and she'll lock you up in the basement again."
He mumble what he heard in his earpiece.
Jill will put on the Black boots and get out her whip
Muslim dog whistle
If Trump is re-elected and at the same time Trump wins Minnesota, I will donate $500 to the forum.
Someone please bookmark this and remind me if it happens, although I suspect I won't forget if both scenarios occur.
I worry now that it was a code word uttered for somebody hidden to take trump out....only it got foiled some how...why he would even utter that phrase is beyond me!
0bozo taught him well so it seems....
Jarrett probably ran point on the operation and was literally speaking in his ear.
He mumble what he heard in his ear piece.
She probably said it by mistake :-)
“inshallah...” Really?
He’s too stupid to remember to do that so as to be inconspicuous.
No.
He said, “enchilada.”
“Yes, Joe Biden said ‘Inshallah’ during the #Debates2020 debate,” tweeted political commentator Wajahat Ali. “It literally means ‘God willing,’ but it’s often used to mean, ‘Yeah, never going to happen.’ Example: My wife: Will you finally pick up your socks? Me: Inshallah. No, saying inshallah doesn’t make you Muslim.”

Right. But it does make you a dhimmi
The Dems are constantly signalling support to islamic terrorists.
Hillary did the same thing having the father of the psycho who shot up that night club up on the stage behind her at an appearance.
It’s “Hello, terrorists. We are open for donations.” 24/7 with the Dems.
Shades of macaca
Had PDJT said either, ‘they’ would pull off the gloves and REALLY go after him....(HA HA)
Which I don't understand because I thought Biden was a good R.C. unlike say ACB who is a bad R.C.
There was a woman Ayaan Hirsi Ali who was on Tucker Carlson’ show in August saying that Biden was promoting Sharia law. this clip is from August of this year. So last night’s words were interesting I think. I did not see Biden say that last night but my husband told me and it made me think of the woman I had seen on Tucker last month.
