McCain: Saying Allahu Akbar is Like Saying Thank God
Fox News & Commentary ^ | September 3, 2013 | Todd Starnes

Sen. John McCain said shouting “Allahu Akbar” is the same as saying “thank God.”

McCain (R-AZ) made that stunning theological pronouncement during an interview with Brian Kilmeade on Fox & Friends.

For someone to say Allahu Akbar is about as offensive as someone saying thank God,” McCain said.

Kilmeade told the senator he had an issue with recently obtained video that reportedly shows Syrian rebels shooting down a Syrian fighter jet and shouting, “Allahu Akbar!”

“I have a problem helping those people out, if they’re screaming that after a hit,” Kilmeade said.

McCain then gave us a glimpse at his vast knowledge of theology.

“Would you have a problem with American Christians saying, thank God, thank God?” McCain retorted. “That’s what they’re saying. Come on. Of course they’re Muslims, but they’re moderates.”

According to McCain we should not lose our heads when his friends shout “Allahu Akbar.”

She says “Let Allah sort it out” in Syria while McCain wants to go in bigger time than Obama so Palin and McCain are officially on different planets now.

Correction:

“Allahu akbar” is like saying “praise Satan”.

Well... Wiktionary says it either means: "God is most great"; the Muslim takbir, or liturgical proclamation, used as a common form of thanksgiving, expression of faith or war cry. [from 17th c.]  

Maybe he is on to something....

So, is McCain saying, when he dropped bombs on North Vietnam during Operation Rolling Thunder, killing hundreds on the ground, that he hollered, “Thank God”?

The North Vietnamese sure did something to him at the Hanoi Hilton. Don't know if it is brainwashing (requires a brain) ot Alzheimer' disease.

It doesn’t mean “Thank God” . It means “Allah is greater”. That is the literal translation.

Allahu = Allah

Akbar = is greater

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takbir

So when an Obama supported Islamo pedo beheads a girl because she had the gall to allow herself to be raped by a 55 year old pedo, he says “Allah is greater” as a way to tell the girl that Allah is greater than her and she will not be allowed to offend the pedo devil.

And shouting “Allahu akbar” just before murdering dozens of innocents is just a coincidental, and the two acts are completely disconnected with one another. As is shouting the same during and after mass murder attacks.

McCain is surrendering further into the embrace of senility and dementia, making it harder for him to camouflage his sold-out-to-the-enemy lurches across the aisle.

I saw a video of a ‘religion of peace’ member aiming at and shooting at an American soldier. The American dissapeared from view quickly, and, thinking that he had killed an infidel, the ROP member yelled their usual fubar akbar thing. The American reappeared, alive. He had just ducked his head down.
My contempt for violent ROPers doubled on the spot. He was not yelling “God bless you, wonderful American.”

Fubar akbar or whatever they yell means “my god is greater (than your god)”

I despise Republicans trying to act like democrats.
