This gives the lie to the establishment media claims about the meaning of “Allahu akbar.” It does not mean “God is great,” and is not a simple manifestation of Islamic piety. It means “Allah is greater,” i.e., greater than your god. The demonstrators besieging the embassy are proclaiming the superiority of Allah and Islam over the United States. And the best part is that in analyzing what is happening here, the first thing mainstream analysts in the State Department and elsewhere will do is ignore Allah and Islam.
