Allah Akbar!

Is there any reason why every other word out of a muslim militants mouth is allah akbar?

 

And what limited knowledge are you basing this on, other than what you've seen on the news?

 

Thats my point. Its all I hear them saying on the news. Ill repeat my question if you didnt understand: why is this?

 

Thats an entirely different question...

 

No, I edited my first post. It used to say Why is that all I hear them say on the news.

 

it means something like god is great i think and they don't say it all the time. it's a ritualistic greeting, a rejoinder to certain things said in casual conversation and a popular phrase to show stronger emotions like concern, gratitude, relief, pleasure etc. i think it's repeated alot in the west to give us the impression they're all religious maniacs, like they always show images of men's backsides raised in prayer in the mosque to subliminally associate, in the viewers' mind, the religion and the ppl who practice it with arseholes which they wrongly assume is a negative and pejorative association. they never counted on ppl like me. i love arseholes. especially when they're men's and especially when they're raised in my face.

 

It's like 'in sha'Allah', which means something like 'god willing'. Those are the two most commonly heard muslim phrases, but they're not exactly heavily religious - more like a cultural standard than a real expression of religious conviction. Most Muslims will add 'in sha'Allah' as a qualifier to any statement about the future - 'I'll buy a new car next week , in sha'Allah'. It's just part of the world view of everything being in the hands of god rather than man.

 

Which makes them easier to control, like most believers in most religions.

 

Problably the same reason why every other word out of an American mouth is: "God bless America".

 

Or a European quoting Michael Moore.
