This comes from a post on Facebook:
It is a common misconception perpetrated by the Western Media that when Muslims/Arabs cry out, “Allahu Akbar” that the translation is simply, ‘god is great’. In truth, Allahu Kabir means
The Takbīr or Tekbir (تَكْبِير) is the Arabic name for the phrase Allāhu Akbar (الله أكبر). Usually translated "God is [the] Greatest," or "God is Great", it is a common Islamic Arabic expression, used as both an informal expression of faith and as a formal declaration.
The form Allāhu is the nominative of Allah "[the one] God". The form akbar is the elative of the adjective kabīr "great", from the root k-b-r. As used in the takbir it is usually translated as "greatest"! It’s a simple enough translation. Why does the press always get it wrong? The next time you hear, Allahu Akbar, understand that this is not the same as a Christian saying , ‘Thank God’ or a Jew saying, “ Baruch HaShem”. It is a battle cry. Allahu Akbar has a deeper meaning that connects Muslims to the idea of conflict, conquest and domination. This is simple truth. It is not anti Arab or Islamophobia.
The calls of Allahu Akbar are growing stronger day by day. The students and intellectuals, the media and the unemployed masses could indeed deliver a revolt but cannot deliver the basic changes that Arabs throughout the Middle East are seeking. Like people everywhere they are seeking basic human rights and justice but with an additional measure o f Muslim pride and what the average man on the streets considers his ‘right to hate’, to blame others and especially to end the humiliation of allowing Israel to continue to exist. Allahu Akbar
In Bahrain, the return from self-imposed exile of Hassan Mushaima, a senior Shiite figure, in his speeches to the press and to the masses are a perfect example of Muslim Radical power that is growing in popularity and scope. Allahu Akbar
In Egypt, Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi, an influential Sunni cleric who is banned from the United States and Britain for supporting violence, returned to take control of that country’s nascent Muslim Brotherhood integration into the government. In a recent march in Cairo over a million protesters chanted, “We are on our way to Jerusalem” (Israel’s capital city). A recent attack on a Coptic Monastery in Egypt, by the Egyptian army, was likewise accompanied by shouts of Allahu Akbar
In Libya, protesters in Benghazi, shout Allahu Akbar, ( BBC 2/262011) and the Muslim Brotherhood has instated a ‘Fatwah’ against Muamar Gadhafi, calling for his assassination. Allahu Akbar
Democracy as we know it will not come about from popular revolt. In Europe the Allies had to impose Democracy on the former Nazi Germany by helping to eradicate its warring culture. In Japan the Allies similarly sought to remove the ‘Samurai Warrior’ mentality from the nation. The ideas of Radical Islam are quite simple. Submit to ‘Allah’ for he is ‘Akbar’ and follow his appointed holy men. It is much easier than Democracy which will fail within a year of each revolution. There are no democratic institutions in place to support it. There are Islamic solutions in place; Mosques. On a local level the Mosque watches over the neighborhood, knows who is who, who is loyal, who is not, who is Muslim, Sunni, Shiite, Christian etc. The mosque can deliver money, food and clothing from a central Islamic government to local populations. The organization to run life in Libya and Egypt is already in place and waiting for Democracy to fail to deliver the ‘honor’ that the population craves.
i'm at a point where i can't stand hearing that phrase anymore. it's like nails on a chalk board no matter what sort of muslim says it. great blog you got here by the way. i'm a big pro-Israel advocate here in the S.F. Bay Area and let me tell ya it's an up hill battle around here.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, David! From what I read on US blogs, which by the way are far superior to UK ones in general, normal people wish that California would break off into the sea, it is so far to the left anyway!
ReplyDeleteI have a relative who lives in LA and her son who is 15 is in a class of 50 other children.
I have read about SF, it is very sad, it is such a beautiful place!

sorry to pepper you with all these comments but i have something else here you should see. paul larudee is a heavy hitter with ISM. he was on the mavi marmara last year and claims he was beaten up by the Israelis after they took over the ship. a Google search will tell you everything you need to know about this asshole. but have a look at this very damning video of this scum bag: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5h_4FPr7NE

Its my understanding that 'allahu akbar' means 'allah is greater'. The implication being obvious.
