Many people in the West, coming out of the Judeo-Christian tradition, have a hard time understanding why anyone would shout out a declaration of the greatness of God while committing an act of violence. Religions are generally assumed to teach benevolence and magnanimity, and so this seems to be a stunning act of hypocrisy. That’s why the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was so enraged at Fox News recently for noticing that Islamic jihad terrorists so often invoke their deity while in the midst of acts of murder and mayhem.
In a recent press release, CAIR explained that it wrote to Fox, asking that the network correct its description of the phrase “Allahu akbar” as a “terror chant.” CAIR (which has well-documented ties to Hamas) wrote: “‘Allahu Akbar’ simply means ‘God is Greatest’ or ‘God is Great’ in Arabic. It is one of the most common expressions used by some two billion Muslims worldwide in daily prayers, celebrations, times of grief, and ordinary conversation.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Allah and his Muslims are masters of deceit when they lie, cheat, and steal from Non-Muslims as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Qur’an. Allah’s core teaching of “Al-wala’ wa-l-bara”, “Loyalty and Enmity” or Loyalty to Allah/Muslims and Enmity to Non-Muslims, is foundational to Muslim hatred against Non-Muslims from Qur’an 3:28; 5:14, 51-56; 8:60; 48:29; 60:4.
The Qur’an teaches that Allah is a deceiver, a great deceiver, as are Islam’s Muslims(Qur’an 3:28, 54; 7:99; 8:30, etc.). Allah in Qur’an 3:54 says, “And they deceived, and Allah deceived. And Allah is the best deceiver.” Allah in Qur’an 8:30 says, “…And Allah is the best deceiver.” Allah in Qur’an 13:42 says, “And indeed, those before them deceived, so to Allah all the deception…”. Muslims can make temporary friendships with Non-Muslims only to protect themselves when Muslims are weak until Muslims gain the upper hand(eg. Qur’an 47:35). Allah in Qur’an 3:28 says, “Believers do not take the infidels for friends, rather than the believers, and whoever does this so he has nothing to do with Allah, except that you should guard yourself from them, cautiously. And Allah himself warns you, and to Allah is the final return.” Based on Islamic Law, lying is legal as taught from “Reliance of the Traveller”, r8.0 – .

Per Google translate:

Robert Spencer’s quote on PJ Media: “‘Allahu Akbar’ simply means ‘God is Greatest’ or ‘God is Great’ in Arabic. It is one of the most common expressions used by some two billion Muslims worldwide in daily prayers, celebrations, times of grief, and ordinary conversation.”
In reality as I understand (having been born in an Islamic country and having lived 30 years of my life before dusting the dirt off my feet and immigrating to Canada. I also studied Islam history)….. ‘Allahu Akbar’ simply means ‘Allah is Greatest’ or ‘Allah is Great’. I am positive that my good friend Robert Spencer knows that Allah is Hubal or Baal that was worshipped by the pagan Arabs before Islam.

I don’t know what you’re reading but I never said that “Allahu akbar” means “God is great” at PJ Media or anywhere else.
