Does the cry "Alluah Akbar" prove the relationship between the religion of Islam and Islamic violence?

Question

Before every act of terror or murder, as we all know, Muslims scream "Alluah Akbar" (God is the greatest).

What this cry proves is that the murder Muslims do is done from their religious beliefs. Consider how serene a captured Muslim terrorist often looks or their infamous enraptured smile before detonation...all are perfect examples of the religious motivation of their acts.

Imagine praising God before Murdering someone for God. This distinction is critical. Christians kill. Jews kill, but, typically with all non-muslim murderers, the act of murder, almost never creates elation or bliss in the murderer. Even socio paths like Jefferey Daumer never expressed glee. Maybe Manson showed some but normally, even for the most savage Christian, some level of guilt sinks in because...and I have never seen or heard of a Christian murdering directly for God, as if he was directly asked by God to do so based on some bible verse. I can only think of the insane like Hinkley.

Answer 1

Wow, where do you get this? Muslims who kill others are not following the commandments of Allah - they are misguided, just the same as anyone who kills another person is.

And did you never hear of the Crusades, where the Western Knights were far more savage, brutal and murderous than the Moors?

Get your facts straight before you start making comments like you made! All you do otherwise is perpetuate the sterestypes that have led to these terrorist acts to begin with!

By the way, I am Christian, but I have nothing but resepct for the true meaning of Islam!

Answer 2

What makes Islam such a religion of violence. Christianity has more violent past that anyother religion. If you look at the beginning, Charlemagne "The Holy Emperor" forced many of Germanic Tribes to Christianity by FORCE. Islam says "No Compulsion of Religion". Christianity called the crusades over Islam forcing millions of Christians die for God when a stupid bigot Pope Urban just wanted control of it. How could an ordinary person talk to God? It is blasphemous. Islam has way more peacful events that happened in its time and if they fought or waged war it was not inciting violence, killing for fun or spreading terror like the Mongols or Huns but establishment of peace. Throughout the 20th century, Europe was the most terrorized and filled with them like Hitler, Mussolini. Now after Europe gotten power, then they blame it on the Muslims and want Sunnis and Shiites or whatever they plan in which the muslims would fall happen. Sunnis and Shiites never fought in Iraq except the battle when the schism occured. When America came, America bombarded the place and killed innocent people. We say that because what we are fighting for is a cause for a better future for everyone not only Muslims. Muslims are not cold-hearted. If they were, then in Lebanon, how come so many Lebanese Shiites, Sunnis and Christians help each other and stand by each other not by religion but as a Nation. I have many friends in Lebanon like Tyre and Beirut and they are Christian and they all respect Muslims because when they were under Byzantines, they were persecuted not by religion but by RACE. When the Muslims came, they didn't kill any Christian or Jew unless they were fighting the Muslims in war. They didn't destroy the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, THEY BUILT IT. Why, because GOD said so. So use some knowledge and common sense. Don't ever underestimate Islam because Muslims are strong in heart and you will never interfere or attack Islam.

Answer 3

You just show how stupid you are and sghould be able to make more sense of this than what your doing.
You said and I quote
"before every act of terror..." hello! that implies it's a terrorist act.
Terroist = extremist group
extremist group = a group that varies extremely from the norm
So no it does not prove the relationship of Islam and Islamic violence. It just proves that extremist groups believe in extreme view of religion which they twist and manipulate in order to meet what they want. Like all religious extremist groups. Also, those terrorist are not murdering because god told them to they say allahu akbar because they are trying to fight against what they see as religious oppression and they say it because if god is great then their side will be victorious and the oppressors will fall. However you could look at a ctholic who does the whole hand crossing thing as doing the same kind of thing anytime they go into war or commit a crime.

Answer 4

simply you can't understand the meaning of what you are asking about !!!!!!!!!!

Allah Akbar or god is the greatest is the most common word with Muslims but did you ask why they do this if we believed that they are Muslims ?

do you see that all the international politics or the western doings in the Islamic world are fair?

did you hear about any terrorist came from Bosnia or the Eastern Europe ?
then why they killed them IN the 90s or why Israel killed the Palestinians in 1948 or the Egyptians in 1967 or the Lebanon people in 1982 or why Israel kill them now in Lebanon why did America go to Iraq? or Afghanistan?

you must understand the people situation in the 20th century before you talk about them can you tell me what is the difference between Hassan Nasrallah and che Guevara or Fidel?

Answer 5

When you like it you refrence ayat of war from quran but Why don't you read the following refrences.

From The Holy Quran;

"Whoever saves a human life, it is as though he had saved all mankind.“ (Quran, Surah al-Maidah (5), verse 32)

And the holy prophet has said:

"Anyone who kills a Dhimmi (non-believer who is not at war) will not smell the fragrance of Paradise"

"The believer is the one to whom people feel secured regarding their blood and property"

And there are many many more like these. See the whole picture. See everything in context.

And don't try to represent Islam by Muslims. Muslims follow Isalm, Islam does not follow Muslims. Don't lable acts of revenge like this. Hope you find this explanation helpful.

Answer 6

"Allah Akbar" belongs to the Islam only.
the violence you are talking about comes from the people not from religions.

the Islam prohibits the killing of people. and also prohibits the killing of trees or animals for the sake of fun. you can only kill animals or trees or other plants if you have a good reason (like:using it as a food).

the Islam helps the people to be free and to have a happy live without violence.

but now I have to ask you. have you seen any Muslim killing before ??
I'm sure that your answer is no, as you just watch your news channels which don't tell you the truth.

what do you know about Israel ? - don't tell me that things that's we see on CNN or ABC news.

you have to know that this is a war. and every one in this war is trying to win whatever the tools used (killing citizens, lying in the news, using chemical weapons ..etc).
it's the world of money, Israel have a lot of money which can help it to pay for people in the biggest channels in the world to help it in it's war .
so you see Israel in the news like a white angel and all the Muslims like killers.

if you want to know the truth, so you have to search for it and never depend on one source of data.

have a nice day :-)

Answer 7

Allahu Akbar means "Allah is Greatest" and the Allah here is NOT the God of the Bible.

In fact it is an insult to Christians and Jews in that they are saying Allah is greater than your God.

Whereas, Christians and Jews believe only one person in the Bible has ever claimed to be greater that God, that is Lucifer.

So in fact, Allahu Akbar means "Allah is Lucifer"

Answer 8

ya that's the way most of people think but islam itself doesn't express violence n it is mentioned in its scripture that those who blieve in god get a poised personality. just read the book or listen to its origin language. it's word of god.

i'm so sorry that islam is known by this crazy people. they're not real muslims n they'll find it out when it's too late.

Answer 9

The closer a Christians follows his scriptures the more peaceful they become. The closer a Muslim follows his scripture, the more violent he becomes.

Answer 10

okki first of all Allahu Akbar means "God is greatest" and its nothing to do with violence in islam we believe if a non muslim does something offensive to our religion or try to kill us cuz we are muslim then we have the right to kill them and to say Allahu Akbar we are killing for the sake of Allah n for his reward only.
