Omar Suleiman is the imam who prevailed upon Google to alter their search results so as to bury any negative information about Islam. Now, at CNN, he is arguing that Muslims say “Allahu akbar” in a variety of contexts, many of them positive, and so “a lone terrorist who shouts ‘Allahu Akbar’ while murdering innocent people in the streets of New York does not get to own that term.”
Suleiman complains that “the way ‘Allahu Akbar’ often appears in the media seems to serve a nefarious agenda: to instill fear of anyone who utters the phrase and to raise concerns even about Islam itself.” See, if you notice that jihad mass murderers, not just in New York City on Tuesday but frequently all over the world, scream “Allahu akbar” as they murder people, you have a “nefarious agenda.” If you remember that 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta reminded himself to “shout, ‘Allahu Akbar,’ because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers,” you’re a greasy Islamophobe. Suleiman wants his readers to believe that “Allahu akbar” is benign and even beautiful, and that there is no cause whatsoever for “concerns even about Islam itself.” He even cites the learned imam John McCain to make his case.
There’s just one problem. Suleiman says that “a lone terrorist who shouts ‘Allahu Akbar’ while murdering innocent people in the streets of New York does not get to own that term,” but that “the ones who get to own the term” are “those who live in a way that celebrates the greatness of God by obeying his commands and serving his creation, not those who flout those commands and attack his creation unjustly.” But did the New York City jihad mass murderer Sayfullo Saipov really flout Allah’s commands and do something unjust? The Qur’an tells Muslims three times to “kill them wherever you find them” (2:191; 4:89; 9:5). It tells Muslims to wage war against the People of the Book, i.e., primarily Jews and Christians, until they submit to the hegemony of Islamic law and accept second-class status (9:29). It tells Muslims to fight non-Muslims until “religion is all for Allah” (8:39). Muhammad, the prophet of Islam and “excellent example” (Qur’an 33:21) for Muslims to emulate, said: “I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah. (Bukhari 1.2.24)
Is Sayfullo Saipov really flouting Allah’s commands by thinking that “kill them wherever you find them” means “kill them wherever you find them”? Did he really murder people that Islam considers innocent when Muhammad says that the lives of those who don’t believe in Allah are safe from him, that is, he only won’t kill them if they become Muslim?
Omar Suleiman knows what the Qur’an and Muhammad say. He knows that Muhammad also said, “War is deceit.” (Bukhari 4.52.268) His own deceitfulness and cynicism in this CNN piece are exposed by his quoting of Hasan Shibly of Hamas-linked CAIR. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case — so named by the Justice Department. CAIR officials have repeatedly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. CAIR’s cofounder and longtime Board chairman (Omar Ahmad), as well as its chief spokesman (Ibrahim Hooper), have made Islamic supremacist statements about how Islamic law should be imposed in the U.S. (Ahmad denies this, but the original reporter stands by her story.) CAIR chapters frequently distribute pamphlets telling Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. CAIR has opposed virtually every anti-terror measure that has been proposed or implemented and has been declared a terror organization by the United Arab Emirates. A CAIR operative recently called for the overthrow of the U.S. government.
In light of all that, Shibly’s words here about the jihad massacre being “the worst crime against God” ring hollow. Shibly knows what Islam teaches and what CAIR is all about. As does Suleiman. “War is deceit” indeed.
CNN, of course, is happy to publish this deceptive nonsense, and foster ignorance and complacency regarding the jihad threat among its readers. But would CNN ever publish a piece from me explaining the true meaning of “Allahu akbar” and why jihad terrorists scream it as they murder? Not on your life! Find out why in my new book Confessions of an Islamophobe: preorder your copy here now.
“What ‘Allahu Akbar’ really means,” by Omar Suleiman, CNN, November 1, 2017:
…Contrary to what many people seem to think, the words “Allahu Akbar” simply mean “God is greater.” It is a powerful declaration used by Muslims on many occasions and in many prayers. It is a celebration of life, the first words fathers whisper in the ears of their newborns. They are used to indicate gratitude when God bestows something upon you that you would have been incapable of attaining were it not for divine benevolence. It is a prayerful phrase that reminds us that, no matter what our concerns may be, God is greater than them.Worshipers at a mosque in Quebec reportedly heard the phrase “Allahu Akhbar [sic],” the very phrase they recite in morning prayers, uttered by their white supremacist attacker just before he opened fire and killed six Muslims this January. And Muslims at a mosque in Minnesota were reciting “Allahu Akbar” during their morning prayers when their mosque was firebombed this August.
Is “Allahu Akbar” sometimes used as a battle cry? Yes, though as Sen. John McCain has argued on Fox News, that does not make the phrase itself abhorrent. While noting that “moderate Muslims” also say “Allahu Akbar,” McCain said the phrase is no more troubling that a Christian saying “Thank God.”
But the way “Allahu Akbar” often appears in the media seems to serve a nefarious agenda: to instill fear of anyone who utters the phrase and to raise concerns even about Islam itself. But a lone terrorist who shouts “Allahu Akbar” while murdering innocent people in the streets of New York does not get to own that term. Nor do those who declare that no further details are needed to determine motive once a man with a Muslim-sounding name perpetrates an attack using those words.
As Hassan Shibly, executive director of CAIR-Florida, said in response to the recent terror attack in New York, “That is the biggest act of heresy to shout God’s glorious name when committing the worst crime against God.”
Though these words that are used to celebrate life also sometimes accompany horrific acts, this is not a new phenomenon.
Of the greatest ironies noted by the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), was the birth and death of Abdullah Ibn Az Zubayr.
Abdullah Ibn Az Zubayr was the first child born in the Muslim community after they had migrated to Medina from Mecca to escape persecution.
Some residents of Medina told Muslims that they had placed a spell on them that would prevent them from having children. When Abdullah was born, his grandfather Abu Bakr carried him through the streets as the crowd happily chanted “Allahu Akbar.”
When Abdullah was murdered by another group of Muslims as he stood for justice in Mecca, his murderers also chanted “Allahu Akbar.”
As one witness said, “I was there the day Abdullah was born, and I am here the day he has died, and I heard those who said Allahu Akbar the day he was born and I heard those who have said Allahu Akbar the day he has died, and I swear by Allah those who said Allahu Akbar the day when he was born were far greater than those who have said Allahu Akbar today!”
While those who killed Abdullah used the same words as those who celebrated his birth, only one group truly honored the greatness of God. They are the ones who get to own the term: those who live in a way that celebrates the greatness of God by obeying his commands and serving his creation, not those who flout those commands and attack his creation unjustly.
We mustn’t allow terrorists or agendas of fear to own any of the words, concepts, or devotions found in the sacred text of a quarter of the world’s population. That would give them exactly what they want. And God is far greater than the ugliness committed in His name. “Allahu Akbar…”
mortimer says
In 624, at the ‘battle called Uhud’, the war cry of the Qurayshites was, “O people of Uzzā, o people of Hubal!” (The two principal gods of Arabia were ‘Allat wa-Hubal.’)
Mohammed using a pun, twisted the names of the divine couple into ‘Allahu Akbar’, implying that ‘Allah is greater than Allat’ and ‘Allah is even mightier than the goddess Uzza (mighty Aphrodite)’.
Allat or Al-‘Uzzá was called ‘Chabar’ or al-Chabra (the great). She was identified with the brightest Star Venus and the mighty goddess Aphrodite. Uzza means ‘mighty’.
Mohammed’s cruel, misogynistic joke is similar to the old Arabian war cry. “Allah wa-Kubâr”…Allah (Hubal) and (his) Great (goddess Uzza…Venus).
The moon crescent of Hubal and the Star of Venus are the symbols of early Islam representing the divine husband and wife. Islam continued the use of these symbols as Arabs gradually kicked Uzza out of the Arabian pantheon of gods. The Kaaba remains a female symbol of the Uzza giving birth to her incestuous son Hubal.
Examples of Muslims praising Allah for murders of non-Muslims:
-“Blessed is he who fights jihad in the name of Allah, blessed is he who [goes on] raids in the name of Allah, blessed is he who dons a vest of explosives on himself or on his children and goes in to the depth of the Jews and says: ‘Allahu Akbar, blessed be Allah.’ Like the collapse of the building upon the heads of the Jews in their sinful dance-hall, I ask of Allah that we see the Knesset collapsing on the heads of the Jews.” (Palestinian TV, June 8, 2001)
– Bukhari:V5B59N512 – “The Prophet offered the Fajr Prayer [Prayer of Fear] near Khaybar when it was still dark. He said, ‘Allahu-Akbar!’ [Allah is Greatest] Khaybar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a hostile nation to fight, then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.’ Then the inhabitants came out running on their roads. The Prophet had their men killed; their children and woman were taken as captives.”
Demsci says
you know and tell us Always so much Mortimer.
and you also know about what Tafsirs and Islamic schools of thought teach.
And the treacherous problem is: Whenever WE (counterjihadists in our role as prosecutors) use evidence from Quran, Hadiths, Sira (QHS) this is not accepted by say “the public in it’s role of Judge and jury”
as evidence at all, because of the public’s assumption that these verses are not necessarily prescriptive anymore for Muslims and that Islamic Theology is something mysterious, neutral.
But we could try to declare QHS UNCLEAR if nothing from Tafsirs and Islamic Scholars is taken into account and interpretation is started afresh. This makes QHS, and thus Islam MULTI-INTERPRETABLE.
And we could press Islam apologists wherever and when ever they speak out to clarify their assumptions and if they are in agreement or perhaps rejection with Tafsirs and Islamic Scholars or NOT.
Failure by Islam apologists to provide Islamic theological grounds for all those denials and propaganda they try to deceive the public with (if they indeed are not brainwashed or ignorant).
could then be used to broadcast this Multi-interpretability of QHS and the violent and supremacist dangers of that, as shown in all those terroristic attacks by Muslims.
and should not citizens and immigrants in tolerant democratic countries be held accountable, mild but precise, for choosing such a dangerous Multi-interpretable religion?
But now there is absolute freedom of religion without need for sufficient clarification.
Demsci says
My point being: Illustrating how Islam is both “BAD AND CLEAR” just does n’t seem to get enough support from reasonable independent people. to confrontational for Muslims they think. Too negative judgement on Islam. which is presented as both “GOOD AND CLEAR” by Islam-defenders.
But what if QHS by themselves were considered unfortunately unclear AND often interpreted in a problematic way
and that we don’t blame Muslims for that but that we regrettably still have to protect ourself by minimal discrimination on grounds of choice of religion?
Demsci says
and my point is: If we, the “prosecutors”, seen as too prejudiced (and yes prosecutors are not neutral) try to prove Islam is “BAD AND CLEAR” opponents easily dismiss us, as generalizing, “painting with one brush”, stereotyping, as Muslims are seen as victims of maligning “Islamophobes”.
But if we challenge Islam-defenders by saying over and over again how vague, unclear, Multi-interpretable Islam really is (that is QHS without Tafsirs and Islamic Scholars) Islam-defenders are hard pressed to clarify their theology. And IMO they are damned if they don’t and damned if they do! (And critics press on).

“Allahu akbar” means a lot of death to other people
That’s right. Allahu Akbar means God is Greater. In essence it means our god is greater than your god. It’s a war cry that culminates the Ko-Ranic command Fight until there is no God but Allah.. Islam is not a religion, it’s a life belief system that also incorporates a government and a military, the latter being the mujahadin, the Moslem activists, the Jihad mass murders. Islam is a corrective belief system that intends world takeover. In that Islam is the same as Communism, a belief system that exalts government over individual responsibility and freedom. Both do. My bet is that Islam will win the sweepstakes, although Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer may disagree, even though they’re tacitly sympathetic to the Global Jihad. They’re commies at heart, and faithful to that religion.
Mockingjay says
SIEG HEIL! was also a celebration of life, well, that is, of German, “arian” life.

When I and my family were working in ME and far east muhammedan countries, we were informed by local apostates that “allahu akbar”, in the context of jihadi attacks, is translated more meaningfully and fully to be “OUR god IS greater [than your God]!”
I/we do not speak arabic; however, I know that most of these locals do/did.
I am curious whether anyone on this thread has been informed similarly or otherwise.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
See my post above.
Allah Akbar means God is Great.
Allalhu Akbar means God is Greater (than your God). So the apostates you met were right on. This is a very important point, one over the head of the geniuses at CNN, and at Fox RINO for that matter.
StacyGirl says
Will these news outlets please get this right? Allahu Akbar does not translate to God is great. It means the muslim god, who is not the Judeo Christian God, is better. Not helpful that Pope Doofus and the Archbishop of Canterbury can’t seem to discern where their spiritual loyalties should be.

Death cult. I look back fondly at the salad days of the Iran-Iraq war. Thousands of Moslems activists dying every day, and best of all, killed by other Moslems. I’ve been aware of the grave Islam threat since college back in the 70s, so that war got my hopes up. But woe, once they ran out of steam the war ended, their heads cleared, and they turned their attention on us. Us Infidels. The only way Islam can be ended is by internecine war. Mass apostasy is a nice humane thought, that’s seemingly impossible.

That is right and terrible. Majority not understanding what is going on, their Nations changing according to islam. The same all over Europe too.
celia says
They DO use it in many contexts: I heard a Muslim say when he saw his newborn child Allahu Akbar. But the life of a Muslim is completely devoted to Allah in all things. Since Allah commanded the killing of kuffar until we all submit to Islam, it is another recognition of his holiness to shout it at the moment of fulfilling this commandment. From their point of view, a baby is a blessing, a miracle of Allah (as we would too), but also killing in jihad is a holy, blessed act, and shouting Allahu Akbar invokes Allah’s blessing on the bloody act, lifting it above robbery or a crime of passion.
But it means that jihadi are not necessarily evil and sadistic, but that their religious ideology is, and infuses those who enact it with submissiveness to the will of Allah.
It’s a real clash of cultures (I wouldn’t call it a civilization, as it doesn’t rise to that level). I think it’s clear that we can’t live peaceably together.

They ARE evil though. There is NO excuse for barbaric perverted hate and violence.

So what? CNN is getting more and more useless as a source of information. They will never ask a Muslim a meaningful question about Islamic terrorism unless they already know what his answer will be.In any case, the only reason it is reported as being heard during a mass murder is to confirm the motivation of the murderer which is always Jihad in the name of Allah. Who gets to “own” the declaration is completely irrelevant is not any kind of news at all. The only valid question after a claim like this is; “SO WHAT?”.

“Systematically Created Disorder. Divide and Rule..The ZIONIST have a agenda, and the agenda is to divide people in the name of race, religion, nationality, patriotism, and gender.. They are systematically funding and fueling these agenda’s to create a systematic disorder in the communities around the world.. They used the false flag fake event of #911Worldtradecenters to target Muslims and ISLAM, and created the diversified group that are investigating the involvement of various agencies responsible for the systematic demolition of the world trade center.. They are creating frictions fueling events that create more conflicting protest to create a perfect disorder and distress in the communities, as Muslims where the first on to this systematic orchestrated crime through the horrifying crimes of #911worldtradecenter false flag event. Then we have groups being systematically generated because the systematic police bullying like the #blacklivesmatter. And then we have the #immigrationban, #whiteSupremist rallies, and know they have added to the list with the recent #DACADreamers.. The goal of these orchestrated frictions are to create the diviin the communities.. They have a age… This is agenda the GREATER ILLEGAL ISRAELI PROJECT, and this is the agenda of the NWO ( NEW WORLD ORDER ) agenda system.. The goal is to create FEAR and HATE.. This is to create a divide between religions, race, genders, nationalism, and patriotism.. This is agenda demonization, depopulation, dehumanization, disorder based on systematic manipulations..They planned this in the 1990’s and was executed by Bush Sr, and refueled by Bush Jr. This is the ZIONIST agenda. 7 countries in 5 years, General Wesley Clark knew about it in 2001, 10 days after #911falseflag.

*Sickening*. Note: this is *very* different from, say, a post in the Jihad Watch comments that Robert Spencer may not agree with, or even see. No one can post on someone’s Facebook page *unless they are invited to do so*. Are these Omar Suleiman’s views? Certainly, it is not something he disagrees with.
Earlier, he posted *this*:
“There are many major and minor gender-related injustices that occur within Muslim communities. Is feminism the problem?”
Um…right. Muslims practice FGM, child marriage, forced marriage, wife beating, honor killing, raping Infidels, keeping sex slaves, and stoning rape victims to death–and have for 1400 years–and this is the fault of feminists.

WHY DO MUSLIMS SHOUT “ALLAHU AKBAR” BEFORE KILLING NON-MUSLIMS? THEY ARE FOLLOWING MUHAMMAD’S EXAMPLE. THERE’S A WHOLE CHAPTER IN SAHIH AL-BUKHARI DEVOTED TO THAT. (THE EXAMPLE BELOW WAS WHEN MUHAMMAD ATTACKED THE PEACEFUL JEWISH OASIS OF KHAIBAR, AND COMMITTED UNSPEAKABLE ATROCITIES, INCLUDING TORTURE TO OBTAIN TREASURE.)
(130) CHAPTER: THE RECITATION OF TAKBIR (ALLAHU AKBAR) IN THE WAR
The Prophet reached Khaibar in the morning, while the people were coming out carrying their spades over their shoulders. When they saw him they said, “This is Muhammad and his army! Muhammad and his army!” So, they took refuge in the fort. THE PROPHET RAISED BOTH HIS HANDS AND SAID, “ALLAHU AKBAR, KHAIBAR IS RUINED, FOR WHEN WE APPROACH A NATION (I.E. ENEMY TO FIGHT) THEN MISERABLE IS THE MORNING OF THE WARNED ONES.”

“Is “Allahu Akbar” sometimes used as a battle cry? Yes, though as Sen. John McCain has argued on Fox News, that does not make the phrase itself abhorrent”
“But a lone terrorist who shouts “Allahu Akbar” while murdering innocent people in the streets of New York does not get to own that term.”
So it is used as a battle cry. Therefore this red herring idea about terrorists ‘owning’ the phrase is worthless. A distraction. The point isn’t who owns it, but about islam being a violent belief structure that has a murderous prophet whose commands to kill unbelievers inspire just that to this day.
So what if fathers say it to their newborn sons? Nothing but emotional distraction, again, from the point that islam is hideiously violent.
” They are used to indicate gratitude when God bestows something upon you that you would have been incapable of attaining were it not for divine benevolence.”
Of course. From afghanis playing with their newly delivered RPGs, to suicide bombers oh so thankful for their chance to kill Jewish coffee drinkers in hard to reach downtown Jerusalem, to Mr Saipov who is no doubt thrilled for his ‘god given’ chance to be attacking US citizens on their own ground, rather than wishing it sat in far off Tashkent….all were thanking their allah in the time honored, koran inspired, way.

I doubt that there will be mass protests against Saipov – Muslims reserve their public display of fury for film makers and cartoonists.

If “peace be with you” ever becomes a slogan and battle cry, screamed by armies of Christian thugs who rape and kill anyone who does not profess the creed of Nicea, irrespective of age or gender, then I would say that the phrase had ceased to be a celebration of God.
Allahu Akbar are the words that the mob of Muslims screamed as they left their prayers to trap and literally rip to pieces a young Coptic girl who was delivering food to a sick neighbour. Those words are defiled and evil.

Translation is a very nuanced thing.
Islam does not accept the existence, even in principle, of any other concept of God other than its own.
The true and accurate translation of ‘Allahu-Akbar’ is ‘Our God is Greatest’.
It is a war cry for the violent spread of Islam, and has been for 1500 years.
Denial of this is to deny that ‘Seig Heil’ is anything other than a polite greeting in 1930-40s Germany that fell out of fashion.
