"Allahu Akbar"

Always remember, folks, that “Allahu Akbar” is Arabic for “I’m a lone wolf and I’m killing these people for no particular reason, so don’t you dare connect this to my faith, you hateful Islamophobes.”

No it’s not.

Or it could mean “God is good”.

It’s probably one or the other.

Who said that? What is this in reference to? I ask as I am pretty sure that is not ISIS’s position.

I’m going to move this to the Pit since it seems like nothing but a personal shot at a religious phrase.

Is this a parody of the anti-Islam threads? Because it’s doing exactly what those do. Because some terrorists shout “God is greater” in Arabic before doing bad things, you think that “God is greater” means terrorism.

It’s not a good idea to pull your knowledge of Arabic from a meme. (And even that link tells you what it really means.)

It’s clearly a swipe at those who continue to claim that terrorist attacks and ISIS have nothing to do with Islam.

keep in mind that there’s like a billion Muslims in the world and if they were all bat-shit crazy like these guys, you’d be seeing crap like this happen every day.

Obviously the OP is jealous of the growth of the Mughul Empire.

Always remember, folks, that “God Hates Fags” is English for “I’m a lone wolf and I’m an ignorant hateful bigot for no particular reason, so don’t you dare connect this to my faith, you hateful Christianitaphobes.”

Ha! If only all ISIS did to gay people was picket their funerals…

Also, before this thread degenerates into the inevitable mess of pious virtue signalling, #notallmusliming, and madcap accusations of bigotry, let’s all take a moment to read this excellent article about the actual religious beliefs of ISIS. Thanks.

Uhh, crap like this does happen every day; if you paid attention to the news you would know this. Hardly a week goes by without a terrorist attack somewhere in the world with a death toll in the dozens or even hundreds.

Granted, the vast majority of attacks take place in countries like Nigeria, Pakistan, Yemen, or other places that most Westerners have barely heard of – it’s only when an attack strikes a country that white people may consider vacationing in that anyone seems to notice.

Always remember, folks, that “Astorian” is English for “Jesus Christ, this moron is so fucking stupid it’s a miracle he hasn’t forgotten to breathe”. FFS… :dubious:

On the flip side, if there were only a handful of them, they’d be pretty easy to deal with.

It just occurred to me that the OP may therefore be brought to the attention of the Secret Service. :stuck_out_tongue:

Ding! We have a winner!

So clever and sophisticated!

No doubt when you first heard about the terror attacks in Paris, you thought, “It’s gotta be those Lutheran maniacs!”

The article is not excellent, it is a justification of DAESH and is poorly learned about the theology in history and contemporary.

There are many comments on these flaws and and half understanding that adopt the DAESH view but are not part of the actual majority theology even for the Wahhabi.

I am sure in any case for the OP that when I read about a drone strike that has killed innocents at a wedding party, I must say to myself “oh it must be those christians.” if I am to achieve the OP’s level of understanding of the world.

I haven’t seen anyone on the SDMB say that.
