In the immediate aftermath of Tuesday’s terror attack, the worst in New York City since September 11, 2001, for some bizarre reason, Tapper felt the self-righteous need to say this: “The Arabic chant, Allahu Akbar, God is great, sometimes said under the most beautiful of circumstances, and too often we hear it being said in moments like this.” Let us begin with the misleading part. “Allahu Akbar” does not mean “God is great.” It means, “Allah is greater.” The left-wing CNN also misinterpreted this in a chyron. And the difference is all the difference. As Breitbart News has reported, “Allahu Akbar” is the “aggressive declaration that Allah and Islam are dominant over every other form of government, religion, law or ethic, which is why Islamic jihadists in the midst of killing infidels so often shout it.” In other words, “Allahu Akbar” is not some benign chant declaring “God is great.” Rather, it is a belligerent cry of religious and cultural supremacism. But on top of misleading his viewers, there is the jaw-dropping inappropriateness of Tapper’s imperious reminder that “Allahu Akbar” is “sometimes said under the most beautiful of circumstances.” As Cheryl K. Chumley of the Washington Times accurately points out, “so was Heil Hitler” said at weddings, funerals, family reunions, and children’s birthday parties. But who thinks offering that kind of context is anything but unseemly? So not only were Tapper’s comments tasteless and inaccurate, to deflect from the deserved criticism, he decided to portray himself as the victim of the eeeeevil right-wing media. Using one of his transparent semantic arguments, Tapper publicly freaked out and launched a hysterical Twitter crusade declaring his critics a liar, including those who quoted him directly, like Sean Hannity, who did nothing more than broadcast video of the segment in question: Another lie, this time from the Washington Times' @ckchumley, claiming i said something i never said. Just a blatant lie. https://t.co/9hHDkLaWnv — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 2, 2017 There was a time when one could tell the difference between Fox and the nutjobs at Infowars. It’s getting tougher and tougher. Lies are lies https://t.co/stYjntoJUq — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 2, 2017 Here's where the lie started, with @NGivasDC at @DailyCaller who isn't familiar with how an adjective modifies a noun. https://t.co/I3nA89wj4N — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 2, 2017 .@NGivasDC — the adjective "beautiful" modified the noun "circumstances." Not the Arabic prayer. Not sure if you're dim or purposely lying — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 2, 2017 Hannity lying now. The @FoxNews tweet I was referring to has been deleted because it was false. https://t.co/WPQtgzNGuU — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 2, 2017 And, no surprise, @SebGorka lies as well, claiming i said Allahu Akbar was a "beautiful phrase." Never said it, Sebastian. Blatant lie. https://t.co/Q183XgwXOC — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) November 2, 2017 Things only got more entertaining from there as the meltdown spread like an STD through those mindless minions forever begging for crumbs from #JakeSoWoke, and they formed a Borg Army of the Dishonest: This is an insane Fox News hit piece on @jaketapper that plays at people's ignorance pic.twitter.com/qVqcCNsNe2 — andrew kaczynski (@KFILE) November 1, 2017 Fox News should unequivocally apologize to @jaketapper for this bullshit https://t.co/yIWzYSCvPK — Sam Stein (@samstein) November 2, 2017 Straighten up, @FoxNews. https://t.co/6xAy7LVDLL — Kevin D. Williamson (@KevinNR) November 2, 2017 I stand with Jake. He is exactly right. In my random sample of people in TX: 98% trust Jake, 1% trust Fox News, 1% said go astros! — Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) November 2, 2017 This is an unacceptable & baseless mischaracterization of my colleague @jaketapper’s factual comment. #FactsFirst https://t.co/6fyNdxa3FP — Jim Sciutto (@jimsciutto) November 1, 2017 The King of Fake News did not achieve that moniker by accident. As has been detailed here, Tapper’s outrageously dishonest semantic arguments (e.g. I did not say Allahu Akbar is “beautiful”; I said it is said during the “most beautiful of circumstances”) are the failing, left-wing anchor’s stock-in-trade when it comes to spreading fake news. Among other things, Tapper has hid behind the slippery shield of semantics to continue to spread the debunked lie that President Trump mocked a reporter’s disability, to pretend Trump did not disavow David Duke, and to mislead his viewers into believing Trump failed to express condolences after a terrible attack on a mosque in Canada. But this is not the first time Tapper has publicly lost his poise. This video from election night 2016, pretty much says it all: 
CNN’s Jake Tapper, who is already dealing with humiliating ratings and a reputation implosion, decided to put on a public spectacle Wednesday over the criticism of his blatantly inappropriate and misleading comments surrounding the Islamic cry of “Allahu Akbar.”

Wrongo! It means: move along; nothing to see here. Liberals are like Slinkys. They're good for nothing, but somehow they bring a smile to your face as you shove them down the stairs.
Tapper’s a tool, but “Allahu Akbar!” In Arabic does mead “God is great.”
It makes no difference what that effeminate douche bag says. He works for CNN,which is a leftist propaganda organ,not a news outlet.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Probably not. But letting a lie stand as truth rarely ends well, imho. that's my story and i'm sticking to it
I don't speak or read Arabic but according to the Brit rags the 'akbar' in 'Allahu Akbar' is a comparative adjective that translates to 'greater' while 'Allah' translates to 'Allah' (which is not a synonym for a deity or a generic 'god') and is commonly uttered when slaughtering infidels as way of explanation for the assault. Apparently, it's very nuanced and some people just don't get it. that's my story and i'm sticking to it
Anyone that still believes CNN is an actual news source is too stupid to reason with,anyway. They are and have never been anything but a propaganda organ for a communist police state. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
I disagree. When Turner owned cnn, there was a profit motive, imo. that's my story and i'm sticking to it
When Turner owned cnn, there was a profit motive, imo. You clearly don't understand 'murikan communism. It's communism for thee and me,but the leadership class deserve to live like princes because of their brilliance and dedication to de po. Not to mention their desire for servant class that can't get uppity and quit when you beat one of them. George Soros is one of the most famous communists in America,and he got his start as a young teen in Nazi-occupied Europe by informing on the whereabouts of his fellow Jews to the Nazi's for the reward money. Then,mysteriously,after the war ended he somehow acquired access to millions of dollars that he used to buy,repair,maintain,and hire crews to man,surplus WW-2 cargo ships. That's how he got to be a billionaire. Hillary Clinton is another example. She also loves the "little people" because she needs servants to feel superior to,and to boss around. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Probably not. I just never considered Ted Turner a commie. Quite the opposite, as a matter of fact. that's my story and i'm sticking to it
Quite the opposite, as a matter of fact. Are you kidding? The communist leadership OWNED the countries they ran. They had free access to the public treasury,and they defacto owned the whole damn country. If they wanted to live on the edge of a certain lake,they just had the military and the police evict the people already living there,then used state money to build huge dachas with swimming pools and airstrips. Meanwhile,the typical resident of Moscow that was a trusted communist or they wouldn't have been allowed to live in Moscow,was sharing a 1 bath,1 kitchen apartment with one or two other families,and the none of the common party member apartments even had air-conditioning or a working elevator. They did have heat,but the building commissar lived on the ground floor,and he had control over the only thermostat. As a result,you could see top floor apartments with the windows open,even in cold weather. Seems like nobody ever told the Soviet architects that heat rises. Communists are the ultimate fascist capitalists,but it's only capitalism for them. Everyone else lives to serve them. I remember the first time I went to Russia. It was the year after the Soviet Union dissolved,Yeltsin was President,and the dust had settled. Flying in to the major airport there,the airliner had to circle around and wait to land,,and you could see a long 4 lane paved road that led from Moscow out to the countryside where the Soviet elites had their daschas,and some of them were so big I could even see the swimming pools from thousands of feet in the air. Once I landed,I discovered the Soviet elites even had special lanes reserved for them on the major Moscow routes out of the city,and had traffic police with wooden red and white batons standing on every corner in case a Soviet limo and escort came into view. Their job was to stop cross traffic so the elites could just breeze right out of the city without having to stop. Ever heard of a Moscow department store named GUM? It either borders on or is on the same block that borders on Red Square. ONLY Party members were allowed to shop there,and it was the only store in Moscow where you could buy western appliances. The people/drones had to make do with Soviet appliances,which might or might not work. EVERYTHING was about status and privilege. EVERYTHING. Red Ted would have been right at home there. BTW,if you want to find out about his political POV,check out CNN's "Operation Tailwind" news show. It was to be their headline show that boosted their rep,and it was an "expose" of "American Green Berets using nerve gas to poison innocent Laotian women and children in a Laotian village where US POW's were being held. According to CNN,the purpose was to execute the POW's,and the women and children were just "acceptable collateral damage". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Tailwind CNN ended up killing the show after that one episode,and having to pay out millions in defamation charges to the soldiers on that raid,or their surviving families. They fired Peter Arnett and the woman associate (April Oliver ),and everyone else that worked that show under Teds supervision,and last I heard the best job Arnett has been able to find since then is working for a Arab news organization. I haven't heard of any of the others working anywhere,but I assume someone hired them to work off-camera. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
So I have been led to believe. "Capitalism for me, communism for thee" is how it has been phrased. In Turner's case, I have read, that was especially true when it came to private property and property rights, iirc. that's my story and i'm sticking to it
I updated post 10. Read it again.

Allah... or Mr. Akbar can eat the peanuts out of my shit.

Nice anecdote about the end of the USSR. For all the fuss over Russia now, they are pikers compared to the Soviets.
I have little use for wiki but I do remember the Tailwind scandal. that's my story and i'm sticking to it
Back then the typical Russian really liked Americans despite the sudden crash of their artificial economy. One day a Russian Ruble was equal in purchasing power to a US dollar,and the next day it took over 5,000 Rubles to buy a dollars worth of goods. What happened was the Clinton's and accomplices stole most of the World Bank Money that was sent to Russia to provide food and medical care so they could make it through the winter,and to rebuild their infrastructure,the Russians caught them at it,and the Clinton's basically told them to go screw themselves. Maybe the most famous example was Bubba tied World Bank relief money to Yeltsin sighing contracts to buy Tyson Chicken at inflated prices. Then it showed up at the port,and most of it was rotten. The Russians refused to sign another contract with Tyson because they refused to reimburse them for the rotten chicken already shipped,so Bubba personally flew to Russia a week ahead of the big global trade conference in St.Petersburg to meet with Yeltsin and tell him he either signs the new contract or all their aid would be shut down. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Alllah is the Arabic version of the collection of words in Hebrew that are simply translated as "god" in Englisn (El, Eloah, Elohiym, Elohey). Arabs were Christian for hundreds of years before Islam, and Arab Christians have always called God "Allah". The Aramaic word for God is Alah, so when Jesus was speaking Aramaic, he was calling God 'Alah".
That's not what I have been taught. To a muslim, Allah is not a generic noun for a 'god'. It is a the word for the only god. You believe what you want. I believe what Dr Richard Christian taught his students. that's my story and i'm sticking to it
It is a the word for the only god. True, to the modern western world, imo, --- Allah is not a generic noun for a 'god'. It is the Muslim word for the only god.
Which is fine with me. It's the 'submit or die' part of their belief system that I take umbrage with. that's my story and i'm sticking to it
Exactly. I think we're way past due prosecuting some of the creeps who preach sedition in their mosques. Hell, it's in direct opposition to our constitutional principle, --- freedom of religion.
Wikipedia: "The Peshitta is the standard version of the Bible for churches in the Syriac tradition. The consensus within biblical scholarship, though not universal, is that the Old Testament of the Peshitta was translated into Syriac from Hebrew, probably in the 2nd century AD, and that the New Testament of the Peshitta was translated from the Greek." These are the first two lines of the Peshitta Aramaic Gospel of John which predates Islam by 600 years: 1. Brsyt aytwhy hwa mlta whw mlta aytwhy hwa lwt ALAH w ALAH aytwhy hwa hw mtla 2. hna aytwhy hwa bysrt lwt ALAH In English, these words are 1."In the beginning was the Miltha (the Word), and that Word was with ALAH (God), and ALAH (God) was that Word." 2. "This was in the beginning with ALAH (God)." So, Aramaic speaking Christians (and pre-Christians) were using the word "Alah" to mean "god", generically, a half-millennia before Mohammed thought up Islam. Now, it is true that Muslims would like to appropriate that word as their own and make it mean precisely what THEY say it means. There is no reason to let them. If you go into an Arabic-speaking Christian Church, you will be calling God Allah, just like all of the rest of the Christians there do, and have been doing for 2000 years. No reason to let Muslims take over the language.
What's your opinion on their belief that everyone should 'submit (to Allah) or die'?
That they are oppressive barbarians who have to be fought to the death, and when they are pinned to the ground, have to be forced to renounce Allah or be shot. Submit to Allah or die? My response is: Deny your Allah or die right now, at my hand. Barbarians want to fight? Kill them all. That's my answer.
Thanks, -- glad to see you're better...
Let me put it a little differently. I don't believe in killing people. I don't think that anybody belief system about anything - religion, government, politics, anything at all, justifies them picking up a weapon and killing other people who do not agree, to force them to submit. I think that when anybody threatens my life because of what he believes - and I do not care what the belief is - I think my life is more important than ANYBODY's belief system about ANYTHING, and there are no exceptions in my mind to that. I have firm beliefs, and I do not seek to kill people who disagree. Live and let live, that is what I say. And I say that everybody has to play in the sandbox of this big old world the same way. But I also say that once somebody crosses the line - I do not care what their motivation is - that I want them killed. I want them dead. I want to kill them. Rabid dogs get put down, and people who are willing to kill me over their cause are all rabid dogs (whatever the cause) and I want to kill every one of them. Now, the even greater truth is: I DON'T actually want to kill them. What I want to do is to surprise them with my superior force, to turn the tables on them, to put them on THEIR knees, as they dreamed of putting me on mine, and putting the gun in THEIR mouth, and making THEM make the same decision they intended to make ME have to make. So, I must submit to your God or die? Well, now you will denounce your God and blaspheme him in the most vulgar terms, or I will kill you. Like that? There is a parallelism in my view of things. Once you start killing other people to assert your power and improve your standing, you have given me the right to kill you, in my mind, to pull you back down. You don't have the right to kill me, you don't have the right to kill my neighbor either, and I, not you, get to decide who my neighbor is. In other words, LEAVE ME ALONE or I believe that I have the right to kill you. The Muslims have declared war on my God, on my culture, and on me. On more than one occasion they have tried to kill me. I was in the Middle East on two tours of military duty - but that was business. I worked at Ground Zero. Muslims nearly killed me that day, and they DID kill my associates. They killed a classmate in the Pentagon. They declared war in the name of their ridiculous God. My reaction was to want to declare war in response, and that the war be total - including the use of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons to EITHER force them to renounce their religion the way we forced the Japanese Emperor to publicly broadcast that he was not a God, or if, they want to die for their religion rather than renounced that, to oblige them by killing them all. I have the same view of those who practice slavery, for the same reason. You have no right to enslave my neighbor. Since you have, I want you dead. And I have the right to hunt you down, take all you have, chain you like a slave, and whip you to death. Simple, sane, just - in my mind. Of course the way to not provoke the Viking berserker and Gaulish screamer in me, to curb my bloodlust, and my desire to see enemies DEAD, is to not become an enemy. Don't break the peace by physically attacking me OR my neighbor, and I'll play in the sandbox with you all day long even if I disagree with you, dislike you, think you're wrong, think your religion or politics or laws are ridiculous. Pull out a gun, though, and I want you dead. You broke the peace. You die.
“Allahu Akbar” does not mean “God is great.” It means, “Allah is greater.”
