“The Muslim Council of Britain’s Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) has claimed that British media has placed a ‘disproportionate focus’ on Islamic terrorist attacks and that headlines containing the Jihadi war-cry ‘Allahu Akbar’ are misleading as they claim it falsely links terrorism with the Islamic faith.” The CfMM also seemed to suggest that reporting about the regular use of this phrase in jihad attacks was a manifestation of “white supremacy“: “The report laid out several recommendations for the media on how to report on terrorism including creating a consistent and transparent definition of what constitutes terrorism, avoid using the term “Allahu Akbar” as shorthand for a terrorist attack in headlines, and to not give platforms to supposed far-right or white supremacist voices.” Try telling that story in India!
“Allahu Akbar” is frequently used as a declaration that “Allah is greater” directly before a jihad attack that is meant to show that supremacy. Meanwhile, thousands of Muslims screamed “Allahu akbar” as they celebrated the recent “reconquest” of Hagia Sophia. It serves the interests of the Muslim Council of Britain to conceal these facts.
The supremacist adhan (Islamic call to prayer) also routinely declares Allahu akbar …
Allah is greater (Allahu akbar); intoned four times.
I testify that there is no God but Allah (Ashhadu anna la ila ill Allah); intoned twice.
I testify that Mohammed is Allah’s Prophet (Ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasul Allah); intoned twice.
Come to prayer (Hayya alas salah); intoned twice.
Come to security/salvation (Hayya alal falah); intoned twice.
Allah is greater (Allahu akbar); intoned twice.
There is no God but Allah (La ilah ill Allah); intoned once.
The Muslim Council of Britain is yet another Islamic supremacist pressure lobby, doing whatever it can to intimidate British society into concealing the truth about Islamic supremacism and the duty of jihad in normative Islam. The Council has also been slamming the Conservatives over “Islamophobia,” and has levied ridiculous accusations that reporting about “‘Muslim grooming gangs’ has become a dangerous media narrative” that is “demonising Muslims.” Enough said.
Bukhari Book 52, Number 44 states this regarding the high call to jihad:
A man came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward).” He replied, “I do not find such a deed.” Then he added, “Can you, while the Muslim fighter is in the battle-field, enter your mosque to perform prayers without cease and fast and never break your fast?” The man said, “But who can do that?” Abu- Huraira added, “The Mujahid is rewarded even for the footsteps of his horse while it wanders bout (for grazing) tied in a long rope.”
Bukhari Book 52, Number 54 states:
The Prophet said, “By Him in Whose Hands my life is! Were it not for some men amongst the believers who dislike to be left behind me and whom I cannot provide with means of conveyance, I would certainly never remain behind any Sariya’ setting out in Allah’s Cause. By Him in Whose Hands my life is! I would love to be martyred in Allah’s Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred.
“Muslim Council: ‘Allahu Akbar’ Headlines Are Misleading, Implies Islam Motivates Attacks,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, August 26, 2020:
The Muslim Council of Britain’s Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) has claimed that British media has placed a “disproportionate focus” on Islamic terrorist attacks and that headlines containing the Jihadi war-cry ‘Allahu Akbar’ are misleading as they claim it falsely links terrorism with the Islamic faith.
The report, entitled ‘How The British Media Reports Terrorism’, claimed that between 2015 and 2019, words or phrases identifying terrorists as Muslims are nine times more likely to be used in media reports than phrases identifying far-right or white-supremacist terrorist attacks.
The report also claimed that between October and December of 2018, one-quarter of online British media reports about Islam or Muslims were about terrorism or extremism.
Rizwana Hamid, the director of CfMM and one of the authors of the report, said according to The Times, that “inconsistencies remain, with a disproportionate focus on Muslims.”
She argued that “headlines using religious terms such as ‘Allahu Akbar’ imply that religion is always the motivator, ignoring other factors such as criminal history and mental health issues which may be at play, and which are often mentioned when the perpetrator is not Muslim.”
“Whilst there now appears to be a recognition of the importance of consistency and the scale of the far-right threat amongst the broadcasters, and most of the press, there is still a long way to go,” she said.
The Arabic phrase is often mistranslated in Western media as “God is great”, however, a more accurate translation would be “Allah is greater,” or “Allah Is Greater Than Your God or Government.”
The report laid out several recommendations for the media on how to report on terrorism including creating a consistent and transparent definition of what constitutes terrorism, avoid using the term “Allahu Akbar” as shorthand for a terrorist attack in headlines, and to not give platforms to supposed far-right or white supremacist voices.
“White-supremacist voices should only be platformed if their views can be adequately contextualised and challenged. An expert who is well versed with white supremacist thought should be used as an effective counterweight to challenge any claims such as the Great Replacement theory,” the report said….
OTTER says
If you don’t want us to notice it, don’t say it dear Muslims. What’s so difficult about that?
mortimer says
Allahu Akbar is the Islamic war cry, no different in purpose than Sieg Heil by the Nazis.
There is no reason to shout that Allah’s ‘deen’ (governance) is superior to others except unless you are a true supremacist.
Supremacism is implicit in Allahu Akbar (Akbar is the comparative degree indicating ‘greater’).
william carr says
Ignoring the facts as usual. These persons who are ‘not influenced’ to kill and rape by religious belief are frequently new converts to the Religion of Peace, so the obvious question is whence came their ideas for jihad? Or Moose Limbs who have been leading a ‘non Muslim’ life style, now becoming repentant
who have renewed their zeal for the faith and so the question again is whence comes the idea that being a ‘better’ more devout Moose Limb is best achieved by murdering non Muslims? Do these people seek guidance from their Imams and what are they told, or do they just read the Quran themselves and reach their own conclusion that violence is the path to follow? Whichever way one looks at it the religion is the causal factor. No amount of claiming ‘islamofauxbia’ (sic) can alter that fact.
Rufolino says
Don’t link Moslem terrorism to the Islamic Faith ? Are these people nuts ?
Islam takes everyone except Moslems for fools.
David says
Islam lives and breathes terror. That is what it is all about. Now nearly 38,000 islamic terror attacks since 9/11! How can muslims explain this undeniable connection?
It is time to have the Big Debate.
Robn Searle says
British media already are siding with Muslims having infiltrated the board and management…. TheBBC needs destroying and muslims need removing.

RT video – UK media disproportionately focus on terror attacks carried out by Muslims – report
Even though attacks carried out by white supremacists and neo-nazis are more frequent, UK media are disproportionately focusing on terror attacks carried out by Muslims, according to a report ‘How The British Media Report On Terrorism‘.
However, The Muslim Council of Britain did note that the ‘imbalance has improved’ since the Christchurch and El Paso attacks, where Muslims were the victims.
RT discusses the report with one of its authors, Rizwana Hamid.

The claim that there are more attacks by white supremacists than by Jihadists is ludicrous.
And note that they refuse to mention that Orlando was a Jihad terror attack.
And this is from RT, which many claim is not Islamophilic like Western media.
David says
Okay, let’s see a comparison list of islamic/white right wing attacks.
There are almost zero mass killings of muslims. They have really overplayed the New Zealand attack. They should now realise how Jews and Christians have suffered at the hands of muslim killers.
Vipeka says
Ask them to come to Mozambique and see it for themselves. They kill in the name of allah and prophet Muhammad……
Hoo yeah….in southern part of Malawi were islam dominates ….a guy threatened the newly elected president….no go area for you Mr president!

Yes Vipeka here in Kenya Somalis kill non moslems in North Eastern Kenya like animals while they are accorded respect in our towns.I always pray that my fellow patriotic Kenyans wake up and realize that Muslims aren’t our bedfellows.

“Misleading”? Ah, yes, when moslims speak, everyone else is lying. The intent of this claim is to “mislead’ whatever public isn’t already mislead into thinking that mmoslims are peaceful, and don’t believe in terrorism.
The moslims who scream the hideous, lying phrase, are only following orders as they arrogantly take the lives of innocent people for satan.
If t comes from the mouth of a moslim, treat it like a lie and know all of it is for the advancement of islam. When they admit to what islam teaches, it is for the advancement. When they lie about what islam teaches, it is for the advancement of islam. These guys are lying about the “misleading” by papers just reporting the facts.
mortimer says
Lying about jihad for the purpose of concealing it, is also part of jihad. All Muslims conduct jihad by lying and dissembling about jihad.

Muslim Council of Britain condemns reporting of jihadis screaming ‘Allahu akbar’ for ‘implying’ Islamic motive
………………
Ah…right. Because how can Muslims screaming that they are waging violent Jihad in the name of Allah *possibly* have anything to do with Islam? sarc/off
David says
Are they saying that the attacks are by bad muslims(who don’t follow the Koran) or good muslims (who do)?
Have you stopped committing atrocities? Yes or No?
tim gallagher says
Muslims always try to shut down the truth about how vile their evil religious ideology really is. They are definitely the greatest enemies of truth telling around. The problem is that there are so many fools in our societies who will actually fall for the Muslim lying disinformation campaign. This “allahu akbar” war cry is obviously everything to do Islam’s call, from the Koran, for Muslims to go out and murder non-Muslims, and proclaim that their violent, murderous cult is the greatest.. These lying Muslims hope to be able to keep enough non-Muslims in our societies slumbering away until they can build up Muslim numbers enough to really try to impose islam on everyone. Too many people in our societies seem as if they are going to wake up to Islam’s evil nature far too late and that is what these Muslims in this report are hoping to achieve by preventing the truth being reported. Actually, if these Muslims are believers in their stinking creed, you would think they would be proud that “allahu akbar” is being reported, (it might make non-Muslims fearful) instead of being sneaky little creeps who want to stop the truth getting out to people.
James Lincoln says
So let me get this straight. According to the feature article:
“The Muslim Council of Britain’s Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) has claimed … that headlines containing the Jihadi war-cry ‘Allahu Akbar’ are misleading as they claim it falsely links terrorism with the Islamic faith.”
I have a two questions:
1. Why would a muslim recite ‘Allahu Akbar’ if the terrorist attack had nothing to do with islam?
2. Do any non-muslims recite ‘Allahu Akbar’ before committing a terrorist attack?
somehistory says
Your questions are replete with logic, which is why moslims wouldn’t understand and be able to answer: there is no logic in islam. moslims are never logical in their “thinking.”
In fact, the…re is no “thinking” done by them either; only the rote they have learned from birth…defend islam no matter what. Promote islam, no matter how. Murder for the sake of murdering..because islam demands it
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
You are, of course, correct.
In order to enter the “mindset” of a devout muslim, one has to perceive the world without using logic – a very difficult task for clear-thinking individuals.

Allah akbar in Ibn Ishaq’s Life of Mohammed
Ibn Ishaq’s Life of Mohammed narrates at least two incidents in which the phrase was used.
When the apostle raided a people he waited until the morning. If he heard a call to prayer’ he held back; if he did not hear it he attacked. We came to Khaybar by night, and the apostle passed the night there; and when morning came he did not hear the call to prayer,’ so he rode and we rode with him, and I rode behind Abii Talba with my foot touching the apostle’s foot. We met the workers of Khaybar coming out in the morning with their spades and baskets. When they saw the apostle and the army they cried, `Muhammad with his force,’ and turned tail and fled. The apostle said, ‘Allah akbar! Khaybar is destroyed. When we arrive in a people’s square it is a bad morning for those who have been warned.’ (page 511)
So he got off his horse and came at him and ‘Ali advanced with his shield. `Amr aimed a blow which cut deeply into the shield so that the sword stuck in it and struck his head. But ‘Ali gave him a blow on the vein at the base of the neck and he fell to the ground. The dust rose and the apostle heard the cry, ‘Allah Akbar’ and knew that ‘Ali had killed him. [page 456]

Good post, Igor. We see that “Allahu Akbar!” is indeed intended as a bloody war cry.
livepeanuts says
So do they have these “reporting problems” in Tokyo or is it that in Tokyo they don’t have murderers going around screaming Allahu akbar because they wisely haven’t allowed murderers who scream Allahu akbar to settle there and in London and England we have been so stupid to allow Marxist Internationlist traitors to let these derranged murderous people who scream Allahu akbar in because these Marxists never cared about risking the lives of British people which are so much less important than the Internationalist Marxist ideals themselves?
tim gallagher says
Spot on, livepeanuts. Keep Muslims out and our countries won’t have these endless problems that islam brings with it. The Japanese, the Hungarians, the Poles, the Czechs and the populations of a few other countries have woken to Islam and have the right approach. I would include the Burmese who threw out their Muslims a few years ago. No Muslims in a country, then there is none of this terrorist crap.
