"God" (Allah) "is Great" (Ahkbar).

Said right before killing non-Muslims, for nearly 1,300 years.

IIRC, “God is good!”

Will we see this info on the news (including FOX) anytime soon? I’m still waiting for the outrage from the MSM over the way HolyO addressed the Fort Hood Massacre, several minutes AFTER giving ‘shout outs’ to his buds on the reservation or wherever the heck he was! >:-(

allahu akbar: Commonly MIS-translated as ‘god is great’ it means the muslim ‘god,’ allah, is grestEST. The distinction is critical.

When you hear that shouted, what they’re REALLY saying is THEIR ‘god’ is greatEST, that is, GREATER than all other Gods, Christian, Jewish, etc.

It means “I have a bomb.”

I hate how the media is spinning this to be about a guy just so stressed out by his horror of war that he went completely against character and shot all those people.

It means "Run like hell and take refuge in the nearest safe hardened shelter you can find."

Or, as the Big Voice blares when the C-RAM goes off,

"Take cover, take cover, take cover."

It’s Amish for something or other.

The takbīr or takbeer (تَكْبِير) is the Arabic name for the phrase Allāhu Akbar, الله أكبر. Usually translated "God is great" or "God is [the] greatest," it is a common Arabic expression and is used as both an informal expression of faith and as a formal declaration.
