No, it literally translates, "Allah is greater," or, "Allah is great," or, "Allah is the greatest." This is very different to 'praise God.'

It depends on context but the statement is always in principle an attempt to highlight the supremacy of Allah. Exactly the same as, "the most high Yahweh" from the OT.

This is why you see videos of sand demons shouting, "Allah U Akbar," when they blow up a US tank, or when they are in agreement over a statement from a mullah or sheik, or even when they see other sand demons killing US soldiers... Screw Ilhan Omar.

Edited for accuracy and expounding my initial point.

It's not "very different," it's splitting hairs. For sure, obviously sand niggers shout it before killing someone, but that's not its only implication, or even its most used one. Give me 20 minutes and I can find you a thousand tweets from moderate Christians that say "god is great," and I'd bet at least half of them happened within two weeks of some tragedy. This post is bullshit and means nothing.

It is different, "splitting hairs" is inaccurate. One is stating supremacy, the other is a statement of adoration.

Christians do not state, 'praise God,' with the same militant ideological intention of establishing a caliphate by power, 'hook or by crook,' like the muslims mean when they say, "allah U akbar."

It is itself a statement of the desire for the domination and usurpation of the world, especially the infidels, by allah.

If you think they are similar, you neither understand islam or Christianity.

I do however agree that the link between Ilhan and Benghazi is a stretch. Still, screw Ilhan Omar.
