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

Burkina Faso: Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” open fire on French Embassy

Mar 2, 2018 8:38 am By Robert Spencer

Last year, the establishment media made an all-out effort to whitewash the phrase “Allahu akbar.” The worst article, among many, was published in the New York Daily News. Zainab Chaudry of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) argued that non-Muslims shouldn’t “believe the worst” about “Allahu akbar” because Muslims don’t just scream it while murdering non-Muslims, but use it in a variety of contexts. Chaudry’s conclusion was chilling:

So the next time you hear Allahu Akbar — whether it’s in a media report, on an airplane, or in a shopping mall, remember that the phrase used by millions of Muslims and Christians daily to praise God regardless of their circumstances, can never be justified for use when harming His creation.

This was deadly advice. If you hear “Allahu akbar” yelled on an airplane or in a shopping mall, you may well be in the midst of a jihad terror attack. But people conditioned by Chaudry’s advice may not realize that. Bystanders in Ouagadougou, when they heard “Allahu akbar,” should have gotten as far away as possible. But Chaudry would have had them stand there thinking about how Islam is a religion of peace. And so the casualties would have been maximized.

“Explosions, gunfire rock Burkina Faso’s capital,” Associated Press, March 2, 2018:

Gunfire and explosions rocked Burkina Faso’s capital early Friday in what the police said was a suspected attack by Islamic militants.

By midday the gunfire became intermittent and helicopters flew over the French Embassy in Ouagadougou. Witnesses at the national television office which faces the French Embassy told The Associated Press that five people came in a pick-up truck in front of the embassy and started shooting after saying “Allahu Akhbar.” They then set fire to the truck and began shooting.

Heavy smoke rose from the army joint chief of staff’s office in Ouagadougou, and witnesses said loud explosions were still heard around the military headquarters in the western part of the capital’s city center and far from the other area under attack that houses the embassies, the prime minister’s office and United Nations offices.

Burkina Faso’s police director general Jean Bosco Kienou told AP “the form is that of a terrorist attack.”…

    ISIS claimed the FRANCE (not the US) is the WORST of all KAFIR COUNTRIES… because it is the home of the FRANKS (a synonym for ‘Crusaders’ used in Islamic countries).

    FRANCE is the key target of JIHADISTS… do they FRENCH PEOPLE THEMSELVES REALIZE THAT… or are most of them in a delirious DREAM WORLD?

    ÉVEILLEZ-VCUS! L’islam POLITIQUE vise la France.

    Zainab Chaudry is a TAQIYYA ARTIST shamefully shovelling hot, steaming piles of impure, malodorous DISINFORMATION.

    BEFORE Mohammed ATTACKED sleeping villages, he said, ‘ALLAH AKBAR! The village is destroyed!’ He was declaring the DEATH SENTENCE of ALLAH against his victims… thus justifying MURDER, RAPE, TORTURE, ROBBERY, ENSLAVEMENT and other vicious CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

    Zainab Chaudry is COMPLICIT in JIHAD by HIDING the meaning, motive and methods of JIHAD.

    DECLARING THE DEATH SENTENCE with the words ALLAH AKBAR is normative jihadist Islam, rather than an aberration.

    ALLAH AKBAR is the exultant comment of a SUPREMACIST who sees SUPREMACISM … not equality.

    Why do Muslims have such a bad reputation….because they earned it.

      Indeed: self-marginalising, self-alienating.

        and then Self pitying, self asserting, self detonating and self aggrandizing.

    Nonsense. They are just looking for the Aloha Snackbar.

    If you hear ‘Allah Akhbar’ when in a crowd …. you’re pretty much dead. If you somehow survive and believe that the ‘akhbar’ has nothing to do with terrorism and as such you don’t run away or better – strike back if you can – … you are definitely dead.

    Burkina Faso: Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” open fire on French Embassy
    ……………….

    I hope the French diplomats and embassy staff are safe–this time, at least.

    Even most totalitarian nations respect the safety of foreign diplomats (they spy on them, of course, but that is another matter). But not Muslims–how many Muslim attacks have there been on embassies and consolates? Barbarians…

    Aw it is just a bunch of the barbarians whooping it up.
