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.

Agreed, but you're comparing moderate Christians to extreme muslims. While the path of Islam certainly leads toward domination, it's ignorant and short sighted to claim that all Muslims, especially western muslims, think that they are on that path. While I doubt that many of them would do anything to fight it should Islam become a dominant faction in the west, a moderate Muslim saying "God is great" does not have the same militant meaning as it does to an extreme one. Plenty of American muslims fully believe that they are peaceful people and that their Allah promotes that peace. You're creating a false equivalency for individuals based on a general overarching truth.
