Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Terror in Mali and the Real Meaning of ‘Allahu Akbar’ – on The Glazov Gang

Nov 20, 2015 5:44 pm By Jamie Glazov

As another Islamic terrorist attack occurred in Mali’s capital of Bamako, where Muslim gunmen attacked a luxury hotel full of foreigners, killing innocents and taking 170 people hostage (see update), reports confirm that the terrorists demanded that hostages recite the Shahada (the Muslim declaration of faith) and that those who were able to do so were allowed to leave the hotel.

The terrorists were also shouting “Allahu Akbar”, which media reports perpetually inform us means “God is great” in Arabic.

But does “Allahu Akbar” really mean “God is great”?

In response to the terrorists’ shouts of “Allahu Akbar” and the media’s “translation” of it for us, The Glazov Gang is running its feature interview with Daniel Greenfield in which he discussed The Real Meaning of ‘Allahu Akbar’,  explaining why you should be suspicious of the meaning the media ascribes to the Arabic expression after every Jihadi attack.

    EXCELLENT FACTS BY DAN GREENFIELD. YOU CAN WATCH ONLY THE FIRST 7 MINUTES AND GET THE ESSENCE. AT 6:30 — “ISLAM ISN’T ABOUT FAITH, IT’S ABOUT POWER”.

      A 19th century scholar named Palgrave, who wrote about what he called the Wahabbi revival – summed up Islamic ‘theology’ as “a pantheism of force”. I found this in James Freeman Clarke’s interesting book “Ten Great Religions”, in the section entitled “Mohammed and Islam”. You can read it online, if you look.

      Essentially the same point emerges from ex-Muslim Patrick Sookhdeo’s book about Islam and the process of Islamisation – “Faith, Power, and Territory”.

    The portion where he explained about jihadists losing themselves/immortalizing themselves in the collective was chilling. It helped me see once again how evil this ideology is. But on an even deeper level, it showed me what a tragedy this ideology is for people.

    The Christian worldview is that yes, we have done evil things and are bad people. But we don’t have to destroy ourselves to find some kind of atonement. Christ destroyed Himself on our behalf!

    I wish we could get this message out to more of these people who are caught in Islam’s lies. It not only leads their victims to destruction, but they, themselves.

    A tragedy, all the way around.

    “Individualism” is an important feature in this video. When I use that word, I always have in mind the fact that my mind – every human mind – is an independent entity that has to collect information, process it by it’s own reasoning power, think of questions, struggle with contradictions, make corrections, draw conclusions – in short, each mind has to do its own work and will succeed or fail according to how well it does the job of grasping reality as it really is. Individualism, at root, is the recognition of and respect for the moral necessity of using one’s mind honestly in order to grasp reality for oneself, and to live by one’s own understanding.

    Individualism therefore implies that a mind needs to be free to do those things without coercive interference, without punishment for asking challenging questions of authority, without being punished for speaking or writing about what one thinks and engaging in an open, fearless and critical search for the truth. It means that the law must not punish a person for dissent from the authorities’ doctrines.

    In reading the Koran, one becomes acutely aware that Mohammad has no respect for this crucial, moral imperative of the independent mind. When, as recorded in the Koran itself, kafirs ask some very good questions, Mohammad/Allah replies with what any rational mind would recognize as fallacies and he condemns those who react with criticism or mockery. They’ll be going to hell for their failure to see that his fallacious explanations are “clear proofs” of his claims.

    This begins to occur early in the Koran’s chronology, way back in Mecca. This attitude towards questioners and doubters, towards reasonable questions and critical reactions, is the beginning of the anti-individual foundation of Islam. Mohammad makes himself the enemy of the honest, reasoning mind from the get-go. Whatever you build on that foundation cannot be individualistic or life-enhancing. It cannot give respect to individual liberty.

      Buffster, as I mentioned in my below comment, perhaps a fitting conclusion to your erudite comment is :

      “I CAME TO THE ABSOLUTE CONVICTION THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE…IMPOSSIBLE…FOR ANY HUMAN BEING TO READ THE BIOGRAPHY OF MOHAMMED AND BELIEVE IN IT, AND THEN EMERGE A PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND MENTALLY HEALTHY PERSON.”
      — Syrian Psychiatrist Dr. Wafa Sultan

      It is always the truth!

      Hello Buffster : As we start a new week after Paris, five days since the massacre, those collected hours could be a year in their depth of grief and shattered lives.

      You write that every human mind is an independent entity. I certainly agree, but let us be honest on how independent are the majority of human minds.

      They need a structure within which to hang misery and poverty. Muhammad’s brilliance as an exploiter of grievance vectoring has made Islam the powerful perfect choice.

      So, as our clueless Westerner privilege-guilt idiots are now learning at a speed that cynical ancient Me finds astonishing, all Hell is breaking loose thanks to limitless web connectivity.

        “They need a structure within which to hang misery and poverty. Muhammad’s brilliance as an exploiter of grievance vectoring has made Islam the powerful perfect choice.”

        He was a master at playing on people’s grievances – and his own – but even more on appealing to the less virtuous mind’s urge to not work so hard, to find an authority to follow, and to believe the authority is the highest of most high – the god of all.

        The likes of Mohammad and the kind of god he presents to mankind tells potential followers: you don’t have to think about the hard stuff, don’t have to analyze and question, you need have no doubts, no uncertain areas, no wrestling with conflicting views or evidence! Allah will tell you, through me, everything you need to know and all you have to do, and if you submit to it (which means, first of all, the submission of your intelligence to dogma), you’ll be the best of Mankind, top of the heap, on a rocket to Paradise.

        You can be as mentally lazy as a slug, but you’ll be the best of men – way better than the mentally active people who come up with all those questions and doubts and criticisms.

        You can have all that and give up your fear of death as well.

        Plus, there’s booty.

          And, of course, nothing breeds misery and poverty like crippling one’s rational faculty.

    One of the best videos of the use and application of a/a among many other videos available, is this one, muslim on muslim, syrian style, attacking Aleppo prison, last year about a half hour or so, but fascinating in the variety of uses or applications of a/a. Truly exemplifies the madness that the criminal gang generates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ57_VfSa2U Much of it’s use here, is to give backbone to the otherwise less disposed. There is much more that could be said, but Dan did excellently as usual. You can even hear an insha-allah here or there, too, when one of them wasn’t so sure things would go with their plans. It was a hell of a demonstration of insanity.

    As not said often enough, “I CAME TO THE ABSOLUTE CONVICTION THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE…IMPOSSIBLE…FOR ANY HUMAN BEING TO READ THE BIOGRAPHY OF MOHAMMED AND BELIEVE IN IT, AND THEN EMERGE A PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND MENTALLY HEALTHY PERSON.” — Syrian Psychiatrist Dr. Wafa Sultan

    Daniel Greenfield is always good. I have told people the true meaning of Allah Akbar and people have looked at me like I have lost my mind. Nice to know that my interpretation was spot on.

    • Kilfincelt says

      Nov 20, 2015 at 11:01 pm

      Sorry but I made a mistake. Meant type “Allahu Akbar”.

    The war cry of Allahu akbar is a twisting of the war cry of Aphrodite…in other words a form of misogyny.

    Allat or Aphrodite or the Goddess of Arabia or Mighty Aphrodite was ‘The Greatest’ of goddesses in Arabia.

    Allat was referred to as al-Kubra (The Greatest one) … i.e. the brightest and morning star…Venus (Aphrodite in Greek).
    …the lexical meaning, Akbar, as in Allah-u Akbar, is the male form, whereas Kub(e)raa is the female form … giving Allat al-kubera … the Goddess is the Greatest…similar to the Great Aphrodite

    Al-‘Uzzá was also called ‘Chabar’ (the great) or ‘Allat-al-Chabar’. Mohammed using a pun, twisted this into ‘Allahu Akbar’, meaning ‘Allah is greater than Allat’.

    In the satanic verses, Mohammed approved the worship of the triple goddess and the people of Mecca prostrated to the goddesses at the Kaaba.

    ALLAHU AKBAR is a misogynistic slogan meaning “ALLAH is greater than ALLAT (the goddess)”.

    • mortimer says

      Nov 20, 2015 at 11:19 pm

      While shouting “Allahu Akbar”, Mohammed and his followers exterminated worshipers of the Triple Goddess of Arabia.

      Mohammed and his death cultists revealed the lethal intolerance of the new supremacist religious cult they founded.
