"Let Allah sort it out."
That is Sarah Palin's succinct argument against U.S. intervention into Syria. And I have to be honest: I'm impressed with Palin on this one. Not with her horribly callous recommendation, made via Facebook late last week, but because she appears to speak some Arabic.
I'm not saying Palin is fluent in the language, but she did use the Arabic word "Allah." She could've simply used the word "God" instead of Allah since it has the identical meaning. (Christian Arabs use the word Allah when speaking of God in Arabic.)
I think deep down she wanted to show off her language skills.
Could Palin know even more Arabic? She did go on to say that both sides fighting in Syria are, "shouting 'Allah Akbar' at each other."
She could've easily translated "Allah Akbar" into English, noting that the combatants were screaming, "God is great." Or as Sen. John McCain remarked Tuesday on Fox News, "Allah Akbar" is no different than an American Christian saying, "Thank God."
But Palin went with the Arabic. Why? Because I think deep down she loves the language. And I bet Palin knows even more Arabic words such as humus, falafel and possibly babaganoush.
So, let's get back to her statement, "Let Allah sort them out."
Now, there is a possibility that Palin believes that Muslims worship a different God than Christians and Jews. If she does, is she's actually saying that we should sit back and revel in watching Muslims slaughter each other? Could that be her barbaric message? Possibly....

At least two of you. Are you trying for the argumentum ad populum/bandwagon fallacy of the type "10,000 Frenchmen can't be wrong"? You've got 9,998 Frenchmen to go.
Meanwhile, Sarah's right and that guy's an asshat.
For a comedian he sure lacks a sense of humor. But everything is a “slander of the prophet” to this bunch....
Really?
Oh horsecrap. She was right this time and you arseholes got your bvds in a huff because she stood on the side of Americans instead of Saudis.
Boo Hoo! Just shut up.
I’m sure when CNN posts an article about what folks right here on FR say, it’ll be posted.
Until then, you’ll just have to be irrationally annoyed by Sarah Palin. Your insanity is amusing though.
Sarah got it right. Allah is not the Biiblical God. The Koran teaches its followers to kill or subjugate Christians and Jews. Which they do all around the world. Muslims preach hate and are commit ninety percent of the terrorism everywhere. Ye shall know a tree by its fruits. Allah is the antithesis of God.
From the article: “I’m not sure to what God she prays, but I can assure her that the God of Christians, Jews and Muslims demands more than silence in the face of mass killings — some 100,000 people, including scores of women and children.”
I’m sorry, Mr. Obeidallah... Have YOU been silent in the face of the killing of 60 - 70 MILLIION? All children, by the way.
Nobody wants hundreds of thousands of people to die, sir. But there seems to be no way to stop it, barring the return of Christ himself. Not even our Nobel Prize-winning President can fix it. And you can repeat it as often as you want, but no amount of saying it will make it true, for “allah” is NOT God.
This writer is an absolute idiot.
Meanwhile, then US Sect. of State Hillary Clinton said on national / world TV about Moammar Gadhafi “ we came, we saw, he died! “ then a HAR Har har buck-tooth horse face laugh, slapping her thigh......I guess that wasn’t callous or offensive or inappropriate at all - Right Dean? you clueless moronic ass-h0le
Dean prefers the garbage spewed by his pal Stephanie Miller. Puke.
Not to this Christian......
I said that very phrase to a friend this morning.
And ironically, Osama bin Laden said exactly the same thing when asked about the Muslims killed in the Towers on 9/11.
“Dean Obeidallah . . . is an American comedian . . .”
Mr. Obeidallah, like those non-Muslim so-called comics Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert, can be a real dick when he’s commenting on folks with whom he disagrees, but like them, he knows far less than he thinks he knows, and I expect, far less than Governor Palin. He doesn’t even know something as fundamental as the fact that comedy isn’t a real good career choice if you’re of the Muslim persuasion.
From Ayatollah Khomeini, in 1979: “Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.”
Their kids blow up so fast....
I agree with the sentiment.
Unfortunately this gives the muslims from all sides to go after and slaughter all Christians and non-muslims in the areas. That ain’t something to just let Allah have fun with and have no accouting for it now.
My post was extending tacit agreement with Sarah Palin.
