Here we go again. After the New York City jihad mass murderer Sayfullo Saipov was widely reported as screaming “Allahu akbar” as he drove his truck along a bike path and murdered eight people, the establishment media went into a full-court press to fool people into thinking the phrase “Allahu akbar” was nothing to be concerned about. One wonders who is directing these media initiatives. Who set the talking points after the New York attack, that “Allahu akbar” would be the next point to be defended and whitewashed? Why do the establishment media lemmings constantly march in lockstep? Who is paying them?
In any case, the fact that Muslims say “Allahu akbar” in benign contexts does nothing to mitigate the fact that jihadis routinely scream it while murdering Infidels, in order to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60).
“Muslims want to reclaim ‘Allahu Akbar’ from extremists,” by Jen Mills, Metro.co.uk, November 4, 2017:
It’s part of the five daily prayers, and an expression of joy – for example after happy life events, like a wedding or baby being born.
But unfortunately, extremists have made it a source of fear.
The Uzbek suspect in New York’s terror attack last week, for example, is said to have shouted the phrase before mowing down cyclists.
It means some people believe it’s code for a terror attack, because that’s the only context they have heard it reported in.
But many Muslims have been speaking out to reclaim a key part of their religion from extremists who have given it that negative connection.
‘For the record, “Allahu Akbar” has no inherent political/violent connotation meriting instant terror diagnosis,’ Rabia Chaudry said. ‘I say it like 20 times a day.’
In the New York Times, Wajahat Ali said ‘I want ‘Allahu Akbar’ back’.
‘I say “Allahu akbar” out loud more than 100 times a day,’ he said. ‘Yesterday, I uttered it several times during my late-evening Isha prayer. Earlier, during dinner, I said it with my mouth full after biting into my succulent halal chicken kebab.’
The phrase is also said by Christians in the Middle East, as the Arabic word for God is Allah.
I was in daily and regular contact with Arabic-speaking Christians for sixteen years, and never once heard any of them ever say “Allahu akbar.” In fact, I discussed the phrase with them several times, and it was clear that it made them recoil, as it was associated with Islamic jihad violence.
But given that for many people, the only time they hear it is when it’s reported in connection with an atrocity, it leads to situations like the one Jiva Akbor found herself in.
She had got on a flight when an Islamic group she is part of, Quran Revolution, messaged her saying that their car had been broken into and completely ransacked.
Jiva sent them a message of support: ‘HasbiAllahu la ilaaha illaahu alayhi tawakaltu may Allah make the day easy for you all!’
The woman sitting next to her reported Jiva to the airline staff merely for writing the word ‘Allah’, as she didn’t understand and was panicked by it.
In the end, they actually ended up becoming friends when Jiva explained she was ‘just a regular Muslim girl travelling’ and comforting colleagues who had been burgled….

Terror Verse of “Allahu Akbar”
Q: Most of the world have heard the Mantra ‘ALLAHU AKBAR’ being chanted in a Blood Curdling manner by the followers of Muhammad before suicide bombings, plane hijackings, beheadings, before the burning of churches or temples, as well as when simply demonstrating their anger.
What is the background of this mantra?
A: ‘Allahu Akbar’ is actually made up of two words: Allah which was the name of the supreme rock god of pagan Quraysh (Muhammad’s tribe in Mecca, Arabia) and Akbar which in Arabic can mean Bigger, Older, Larger or Senior.
Opposite to the assertions by mostly Arabic ignorant Western people, aided and abetted for their own nefarious reasons by Muslim spokespersons, that it means Greatest because in Arabic, Greatest is Aatham (Great Britain is called Britannia al Uthma)
‘Allahu Akbar’ is the cry of Glorification called (Takbir); that is the glorification of Allah, asserting that ‘Allah is bigger’ than all the other gods of Pagan Arabia.
Furthermore, contrary to the general perception inculcated into the minds of unlearned people in the Arabic of the Quran by the followers of Muhammad, this cry was not invented by Muhammad because it was used by the Pagan Arabs centuries before Muhammad and his Quran.
In Ibn Ishaq’s ‘Sirat Rasool^Allah’ or Muhammad’s Biography; Pages 62-63 titled the “Digging of Zamzam” tells us inter alia:
“While Abdul Muttalib was sleeping in the Hijr, he was ordered in a vision to dig Zamzam… When the exact spot had been indicated to him, he took a pick axe…and began to dig.
When the top of the well appeared, he cried ‘Allahu Akbar’; thus the Quraysh knew that he had obtained his object…”
I would like at this moment to bring to the attention of our readers the following very important points:
1 Allah was the name of the supreme rock god of the Pagan Quraysh centuries before Muhammad. Allah is most assuredly NOT the same as the God of the Bible.
2 Allahu Akbar was recited by the Pagan Arabs of Quraysh centuries before Muhammad and was used to indicate that the god Allah of the Kaba was bigger than all the other 360 gods and goddesses among the pantheon of their rock idols.
This pagan tradition too, was absorbed , subsumed and ‘Islamized’ by Muhammad into his new Cult Belief System and constantly used as a terrorizing battle cry by him and his followers.
In fact, this expression is also used when animals – as well as humans – are being slaughtered.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 7.472 Narrated by Anas
The Prophet offered as sacrifices, two horned rams, black and white in color. He slaughtered them with his own hands and mentioned Allah’s Name over them and said Takbir and put his foot on their sides.
A Battle Cry is a yell or chant taken up in battle, usually by members of the same military unit. The content and nature of battle cries vary, depending on whether their intent is to threaten, to give courage, invoke a family name or family lands, or call on a god for assistance.
These cries can serve many purposes, including inspiring those otherwise inclined to stay back, terrifying the enemy, promoting a sense of unity, as well as communicating to allies that they have support.
Battle cries serve three purposes:
1 To terrify the enemy before and during an attack
2 To give an Esprit de Corps for the fighters
3 To act as a witness to the beliefs of Muslim fighters before their death
Bukhari Sahih Hadith 5.456
“Muhammad led the Fear/or Terror Prayer [Allahu Akbar] with one batch of his army while the other (batch) faced the enemy.”
This is called the TERROR VERSE by the Muslim exegetes.
Bukhari Sahih Hadith 5.516
“When Allah’s Apostle fought or raided people we raised our voices saying, ‘Allahu-Akbar! Allahu-Akbar! None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.'”
This mantra is recited by Muslims in numerous and different situations. For example, when they are happy or wish to express approval; when an animal is butchered in halal fashion; when they want to praise a speaker, in times of extreme stress or euphoria; before attacking an enemy or even when slaughtering an enemy.
It is also recited during each stage of both obligatory prayers, which are supposed to be performed five times a day, and supererogatory prayers, which are performed at will.
The Quran contains 109 verses that call Muslims to war with Unbelievers/ Kuffar/ Infidels, 80% of unsuspecting humanity. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and fingers, and kill the infidels wherever they may find them.
Muslims who do not join the fight are called ‘hypocrites’ and warned that Allah will send them to Hell if they do not participate in the slaughter.
These verses are open-ended, meaning that they are not embedded within a historical context (unlike nearly all of the Biblical verses of violence). They are part of the eternal, unchanging word of Allah, and just as relevant or subjective as anything else in the Quran.
Unfortunately, there are very few verses of tolerance and peace to abrogate or even balance out the many that call for nonbelievers to be fought and subdued until they either accept humiliation, convert to Islam, or are killed. This proclivity towards violence, and Muhammad’s own martial tradition have resulted in an ocean of spilt blood and millions of bodies across world history.
In conclusion, in fact and in reality, the expression Allahu Akbar was to assert that Allah, the name of the supreme rock god of the Quraysh was more powerful than all of the other 360 Stone or Rock gods and Goddesses in the Kaba. It is an expression of relativity.
Ladies and gentlemen, so called Believers and Unbelievers, “The people did not hijack the Cult of Muhammadan Islam; it is the Cult of Muhammadan Islam that has hijacked the people”.
1400 years later, in the 21st century, the modern followers of Muhammad use exactly the same Terror Verse as they slaughter, bomb, hi-jack and blow unarmed and innocent civilians all over the globe and make sure that the Medium of TV is there to have the whole world as witness to their mind boggling barbarity and cowardice.

Thank you!

To do that they first have to reclaim it from their prophet. Probably their not aware that it was a battle cry used by the prophet on his Jihadi raids. Like the account of the Khaibar raids found in Sahih muslim . It only goes to show how dumb the majority of the people in UK are and how easily they can be taken in. Probably a new standard of dumbness or an “index of Duncyness” needs to be defined. As for example in the usage, “Dumb as the masses in UK” to believe in all this BS
gravenimage says
Oh, I imagine they know that the “Prophet” used “Allahu Akbar!” on Jihad raids to strike fear in the heart of the Infidels–they just don’t want *us* to know.
Vajapeya says
I am not sure common people know gravenimage, i can bet my money on that because interact with people from the UK, many whom are great friends and nice people, But just out of curiosity i asked some of them on a skype call and yes most of them are totally unaware. All of my friends in the goddamn UK are afflicted with PC disease. Even a casual discussion on this topic raises many an eye brow and almost an undetectable nodding of the head visible even on the web cam. I am just exasperated at the utter stupidity of otherwise wonderful affectionate people. Also my anger on their ignorance them seems to be in direct proportion to their niceness. Normally the nicer a person is the more one is drawn to him/her(In case i be accused of male chauvinism).. But this seems to be a stunning paradox
gravenimage says
Vajapeya, I meant that I think most *Muslims* know about the savagery of the “Prophet”.
Most Infidels don’t have a clue.

Benedict says
The Janus-faced religion of Mohammad is connected to one and the same body of “sacred” writings. An erudite and highfalutin discussion of the legitimate use of the expression “Allahu Akbar” can therefore go on ad infinitum both inside and outside Islam and its purpose is to distract the attention form what is essential:
According to Islam mr. Hyde has the same access and right to use “Allahu Akbar” as dr. Jekyll and both characters show deference to their bipolar Moon-god whether they in transcendental rage massacre pedestrians and cut the throats of unbelievers or wish the best for their fellow religionists and congratulate themselves that they “are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah.”
If there ever was a religion that stinks of man in his lost and self absorbed condition, Islam is it.
mortimer says
Agree. The religion of Jekyll-and-Hyde.
gravenimage says
Unfortunately, there is far more Hyde than Jekyll in Islam.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Perverting the language is the first step in perverting reality. Orwell knew that.
As the progressives make Allalhu Akbar into a good thing, the way is paved to render Jihad mass murder as a legitimate, even desirable, form of political expression.
carol says
And of course we all must focus our attention upon the IMPORTANT threat of sensitive, kindly Islam being maliciously misunderstood. Dhimmis are so evil and stupid!
Muslims, you must accept, are just as helpless at changing renegade Muslims as you are. But of course the unique “spirituality” of it all must CONTINUE to be claimed and followed – Allah said so after all. That’s what looter and killer Mohammed reported anyways… Duhhhh.

The BIKE PATH JIHAD was NOT supposed to happened. Why would a NICE MUSLIM JIHAD deviate from the SCRIPT? He’s supposed to threaten the conservatives and maybe bomb a church or conservative synagogue, but NOT KILL LEFTARDS and SOCIALIST-LEANING CYCLISTS on a PROGRESSIVE BIKE LANE!
“Is nothing sacred?”, the Leftards must be asking themselves. But they will still not learn the jihad doctrine of warfare against disbelievers ‘for the cause of Allah’ which is obligatory for all Muslims.
mortimer says
correction: The BIKE PATH JIHAD was NOT supposed to happened. Why would a NICE MUSLIM JIHADIST deviate from the SCRIPT? He must of course be ‘insane’ not to stay on script. He’s supposed to threaten or kill only conservatives and maybe bomb a church or conservative synagogue, but NOT KILL LEFTARDS and SOCIALIST-LEANING CYCLISTS on a PROGRESSIVE BIKE LANE! Why would Muslim allies kill their MARXIST allies? “Is nothing sacred?”, the Leftards must be asking themselves.
But the Leftarded post-modern neo-Marxists will still not learn the jihad doctrine of warfare against disbelievers ‘for the cause of Allah’ and they will refuse to learn that jihad is obligatory for all Muslims.

Mortimer, we are all just “filthy Infidels” as Muslims see it.
TopDrifter says
Islam is an evil cult. Nothing more need be said, these rabid animals come here and kill people and our Marx-stream Media cover it like a Sunday picnic. They (MSM) sugar coat and try to normalize the terror being perpetrated on America by these evil heathens. Send them all back to the Middle East where they belong and lock the gate after you.
jdf007 says
So much of this is irrelevant. Instead of, like, you know, stopping genocide and murder, they just want to scream their chant even louder, while the same people are yelling at the same time as they drive trucks down the sidewalk.
What is the point instead of some nonsense shouting match to feel good about oneself. There is none.
Great, so now I’m supposed to think the guy with the RPG at the mall is co-opting a beautiful expression and feel all warm inside.
Why don’t they just erase the expression in total like other symbols of hate.
Why isn’t there articles about reclaiming the swastika or the rebel flag as well? In the end, these people are more than pathetic.

Answer: directed (originated) by philosophy (humanities) departments of Ivory Towers (leading universities). Who pays them? Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and George Soros.

Alright. After reading that little gem, all I want to do, frankly, is punch this idiot in the face. I have no idea why, but that statement of his just makes him seem extremely punchable.
Exactly the same way I feel when some popped collar douche tries to hit on me by oiling up to me and calling me ‘babe’.

UK’s Metro: “Muslims want to reclaim ‘Allahu Akbar’ from extremists”
…………………..
Uh huh. What they really mean is that they don’t want Infidels to run when some coreligionist of theirs screams “Allahu Akbar!”–that should bring up the body counts in Jihad terror attacks. Getting many Infidels to worry more about appearing “Islamophobic” than about being murdered should sadly not be difficult at this point.
And while Arabic-speaking Christians do refer to God as “Allah”, it is a lie that they scream “Allahu Akbar!”.
Bob says
I’ve lived in and traveled through many countries in the Middle East. I’ve known many Muslims and in all my years in the ME I can’t recall any Muslims saying“Allahu akbar” (God is greater) in any of my direct or observed interactions with them. However, I heard the phrase “Alhamdulilah” or (parse be to God) on an almost daily basis. i.e. if waiting on someone, and they were very late, someone say, ‘Alhamdulilah, they are here’ when they arrived.
gravenimage says
Thanks for the view on the ground, Bob.
More proof that this story is bs.
Ed Lee says
Mohammad was a plagiarist. He stole the idea for Allahu Akbar from the Old Testament. Psalm 95:3 “For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods”. Psalm 135:5 “I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods”. Mohammad was not creative or divinely inspired, he just had a good memory and a knack for paraphrasing.
