To
paraphrase Winston Churchill, never have so many been so confused for so long
about two little words: Allahu Akbar.
That
would, of course, be the Muslim invocation of divine blessing. Typically, it is
uttered by jihadists in the midst of their murderous and often suicidal
rampages.
We
are usually told it translates as “God is great.” In fact, it is a supremacist battle-cry: “God is greater”!
Even
more astonishing than systematic government and media failure to correctly
convey the meaning of this phrase is the insistence that its recitation in the
act of executing or maiming others is not instructive.
This
isn’t hard. When killers using guns, trucks, suicide bombs or axes shout
“Allahu Akbar,” they mean for us to die or submit.
We
better get this right – and fight back effectively – if we don’t like those
choices.
