On Tuesday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) suggested that Fox News host Brian Kilmeade was Islamaphobic because he said that Syrian opposition groups shouting “Allahu Akhbar! Allahu Akhbar!” as rockets hit government offices demonstrated Islamist influence among the opposition.

“I have a problem helping those people screaming that after a hit,” Kilmeade said. McCain responded: “Would you have a problem with an American or Christians saying ‘thank God? Thank God?’” He added, “That’s what they’re saying. Come on! Of course they’re Muslims, but they’re moderates and I guarantee you they are moderates.” McCain provided no evidence to suggest that Syrian opposition groups are moderate, as opposed to the wide swath of evidence suggesting that the opposition is heavily infested with al Qaeda.

Words fail me.

Proverbs 16:12 It is an abomination to kings [leaders] to do evil

I just had a fairly ugly exchange with one of my few remaining leftist friends about this story. He's a religious guy but unfortunately religious left and he thinks that saying "'Allah akbar' is just like us saying 'thank God'".

God help us.

Amen. We are in big, big, trouble.

I thought I'd let everyone know the precise meaning of "Allahu Akhbar" (at least to a muslem):

The literal translation from Arabic = Allah is most great. But if you are a muslem "most great" really means Allah is GREATER. Literally: most = more great than whatever god you happen to believe in other than Allah. Allahu Akhbar = Allah is more great or greater than.

It most definitely does not mean 'thank God'. You would have to totally pervert the arabic text to come up with that one, or lie about the meaning of the text.

In the past (as well as the present) it is a statement typically issued by muslems in times of battle asserting the superiority of Allah, Islam and Muslims over everyone else, or in the case of battle their enemies, which are usually infidels.

Explanation here

Yes, and Allah is not what we call God. Allah is the ancient, pre-Islamic moon god, subverted by mohammed to develop his "religion".
