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

David Wood Video: “Allahu Akbar!” — Muhammad’s War Cry

Nov 3, 2017 12:27 pm By David Wood

For years, politicians and reporters have reminded us that Muslims are the real victims of Islamic terrorist attacks, since these attacks invariably lead to the specter of an anti-Muslim backlash. Following the latest ISIS-inspired bloodbath in New York City, however, major news outlets have informed readers of the plight of a new victim of Islamic terror: the poor, defenseless expression “Allahu akbar.” How did such an innocent phrase come to be so closely linked with violence? Perhaps a quick glance at the life of Muhammad will solve the mystery.

    This jihadist /Muslim ,Sayfullo Saipov is a monster .To be more specific a Islamic monster the law system State of New York should put this Muslim monster to death for the mass murders he committed .To put this murderous villain to death is keeping withe teachings of the Bible, Exodus 21:12. Romans 13:1-4. Furthermore, this finds deserves even more than many other dangerous men, to go into the fires of hell and suffer. The Bible does teach that a murder shall not inherit the kingdom of God, Galatians 5:21. Moreover, the fate, the Bible teaches for a murderer, and in his case a serial murderer, is to end up burning forever on the Lake of Fire, Revelation 21:8.

        Apparently 23 people applied for admission to the U.S. in reliance on Saif-Allah (Sword of Allah) Saipov’s status as a green card holder.

        All further processing of their applications should be halted until Saipov’s own green card has been revoked (for perpetrating an “aggravated felony.”)

          PRCS, Custos is just saying that we should not let in Sayfullo Saipov’s relatives. I agree with him.

          I would go far further.
          If any one enters you country because of the say so of someone who turns out to be a criminal , then all are of them are expelled.
          Generally I am against group punishment but if you are going to apply a group reward for good behaviour then you need a balance, with punishment for bad behaviour.
          Consider it in the same way as the concept of joint enterprise used to convict a whole gang when you don’t know who actually delivered the fatal blow.

        I was responding the another poster’s desire to rely upon Biblical punishments.

        “Prefer that his punishment be carried out in accordance with secular, man made U.S. law.”

        Chain migration was not the issue.

      What a load of religious nonsense. Burn on a lake of fire…hahahah.You don`t really believe this crap do you? I bet you think the world is only 6000 years old also…..moron. The indoctrination of children with these sorts of nonsense sets them up for ridicule and emotional pain for the rest of their lives. I bet you were one of them.

        Nov 4, 2017 at 9:15 am

        Nonsense. That’s a joke in it self. Like all of us, politically incorrect will be dead one day. When he finds himself still aware, after his physical body has expired, no laughter will be coming from his mouth. Not being prepared for the “what if” is more of a joke. The short sighted and visionless can’t see past this life. All they have is name calling and the ridiculing of others. This life is way to short not to be prepared. Jesus Christ said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”.

        Your choice to believe the Bible or not.

        Much of what is best in Western civilization can be directly attributed to the Judeo/Christian ethic….ie… the sanctity of human life, personal responsibility, the institution of marriage between a man and a woman, equal justice under the law, and compassion for others.

        Without this defining prevailing ideology upon which society is structured, there will be inevitable clashes over laws, traditions, policies, etc.

        So since you have such antipathy for the J/C ethic, what would you replace it with?

      They love death more than we love life – why would you give him wat he wants – WHY ELSE WOULD HE HAVE WAVED FAKE GUNS AT COPS – let him rot in jail for the rest of his stinking life. No 70 virgins for him.

        The standard punishment for islamically inspired murder should include burial in a secret grave, zip-tied face to face with a pig.

    Odd that NYT, NBC, Sarsour etc etc have just now decided to explain to everyone how innocent and divine that phrase really is. Why so silent about its ‘TRUE’ meaning, during all the years we’ve been hearing it in association with attempted or successful bloodshed?!
    Funny too, that this flood of explanations and defenses happened to start pouring out of these sources, all at once.

      The media all work from the same script. Someone manages to dig up a new grievance regarding the treatment of Islam, and they all jump on the same bandwagon.

      For years they’ve been trying to convince us that ‘jihad’ has nothing whatsoever to do with warfare or violence, that it’s strictly a personal spiritual struggle. Now, it’s ‘allahu akbar’. It’s very tiresome.

      In many ways the MSM are childish; they view themselves as the sole dispensers of vital information and are often quite contrarian. If everyone had been thinking that ‘jihad’ meant ‘have a nice day’, they’d be lecturing us endlessly to the contrary. I guess they think that no one reads a book.

    If a Muslim wants to worship G and be spiritual there are religions available that do not teach hatred. Yet they don’t leave their nihilistic supremacist death cult. Why? If I was in the KKK just for the community of it and “extremist” members of my group carried put lynchings, I would leave that group and find one whose members didn’t kill people. But Muslims stay in Islam. Why?
    Also, what kind of group even has the concept of taqiyya? That is a tactic only needed by deceptive criminals, is it not?

  7. Oliverian says

    Nov 3, 2017 at 7:55 pm

    Does the phrase actually mean “God is great”, or does it mean “our God is greater“?

    Christians and Jews certainly agree “God is great.”

    Christians believe in only one God, but a Trinitarian one, (three ‘facets’ or ‘characters,’ but only One Person) … but Islam utterly rejects a Trinitarian God.

    If the phrase means “OUR god is greatER” … well, greater than what? Obviously : greater than YOUR god. With the clear implication of the plural – there is more than one god – at least 2, possibly 3 … but Islam believes Jews and Christians are wrong.

    So what is all the malarkey about Islam being “one of the three great monotheistic religions” ?

    They’re still the same pagans they were in the 7th Century.

    And as the Old Testament says, “All the ‘gods’ of the Gentiles are demons.”

    So … demon-worshippers?

  10. Ver Auger says

    Nov 4, 2017 at 4:59 am

    The costs and delays associated with a Constitutional trial by jury are only sensible when there is any degree of uncertainty concerning the guilt of a suspect. It is important that all of the people guilty of a crime, and only those people, be punished for it. Normally, criminals deny their involvement in a crime, and protest their innocence, in order to evade punishment. Rarely, a person may falsely claim to be guilty of the crime in order to spare a loved one (the truly guilty party) from punishment. This may arise in the case of a parent attempting to shield a criminal child from punishment. A trial is necessary in that case, not so much to spare the parent from punishment, but to include the child. Again, the facts are in dispute and the truth must be ascertained. What use or benefit is a Constitutional jury trial in a case where there is zero doubt based on copious evidence, the guilty party confesses, is not a citizen, and commits an act of war on our civilian populace? Assigning a public defender and going through the motions of a jury trial is a hollow charade in this case, and serves no purpose but to aggravate the anguish of the bereaved survivors. Better would be to dispatch the guilty as swiftly as Nazi spies were executed by the FDR administration when caught here during WWII. There were no liberals agitating to confer constitutional rights on those aspiring saboteurs, who never even got around to implementing their destructive plans.

      The appalling apologist for Muslim savagery Ibrahim itace muhammed wrote:

      ………………………..

      What a load of vicious tripe.

      The truly odd thing, of course, is that Ibrahim itace muhammed has himself affirmed all of ISIS’s actions, from raping Infidel women and keeping sex slaves to murdering apostates and committing genocide against unbelievers.

      I suppose he just considers Al-Baghdadi a rival for his faction to run the Caliphate.

      Note that pious Muslims like Ibrahim itace muhammed gloat over others’ suffering–but always dream that there will be more suffering, when they aren’t causing it themselves.

      When there are natural disasters in the Muslim world, of course, Infidels–Americans, especially–reach out and help with charity and rescue and medical teams.

      Compare and contrast…
