Allahu Akbar???

    I once stopped a young man who was severely beating an elderly fisherman on the wharf just about daybreak.
    He found a pair of needlenose pliers in the gentleman's tackle-box which he used to stab him in the head.
    During the attack and after he was arrested he continually yelled "Allahu Akbar."
    The elderly Itallian emigre died from his injuries.
    It's mind boggling how many times that scene has repeated itself all over the world since.
    I've come to believe there is a specific demon involved, who calls himself Allah.

    Have you ever heard that Allah was actually the name of an idol that was one of the gods of Mohammad's tribe? It would be interesting to not find a demon behind that...

    I did hear that a long time ago.

    Indeed!
    This is an area where all, especially young, Muslims are vulnerable, imo.

    No, it's been absorbed into the local languages. But yes, it comes from the Arabic roots and it is Muslim dominated country.

    Also...

    Allahu kabir = Allah is great
    Allahu akbar = Allah is greater
