that "allahu Akbar" is undeniably a specific proper name for the god whose book is the quran and whose prophet is mohammad. its used as a rallying cry of all other Muslim terrorists throughout history.

Disingenuous libs and other naïve fucks will say "God is great" may be referring to a Christian god and that we may never know the shooter's true motives

I supposed, hypothetically, someone might suggest that this Muslim guy was referring to some God other than the God of Islam, but they could just as easily say that if the quote were "Allahu Akbar." But nobody actually has said that and I doubt anyone will.

Aside from that, the God of Islam is the God of Christianity and the God of Judaism, even if they different practitioners obviously disagree about what role God and his various followers/prophets/incarnations/etc. played or didn't play.

"Motherfucker" and "big jerk" roughly mean the same thing, but the reaction from a reader is different.

If I told my secretary, that guy in Fresno yelled "Allahu Akbar" while shooting people she would have a different reaction then if I told her he shouted "God is great" in Arabic. That is just the way it is.

Possible, but seems pretty minor to me, given that Arabic is as associated with Muslims and Muslim terrorists at least as much as the phrase Allahu Akbar is.

No dispute that the initial tweet was bullshit and the correction is self-serving, but I just doubt that the effect is much different.

literally allah means "the god." some arabic speaking christians use the word to refer to god, but the overwhelming usage for over 1,000 years has been the Islamic concept of god and hence the god whose prophet is Mohammad, which would not include Christianity or Judaism.

i agree completely. the fact that a few arabic christians use the word more generically does not negate the fact that the usage in allahu akbar is undeniably a specific proper name for the god whose book is the quran and whose prophet is mohammad.

our verdict: AP is lying to the public.
