The news out of New York City was shocking, but drearily predictable: the New York Post reported Thursday evening that "two men were stabbed in an unprovoked rampage on the Upper West Side near Central Park on Thursday afternoon—with investigators probing whether the attack was a hate crime, according to cops and law-enforcement sources."

There was very good reason to suspect that it was indeed a hate crime, of a kind that is increasingly common all across Europe and North America, while authorities continue to look the other way and pretend that the threat of this particular hate crime does not exist: "Police were investigating claims that the suspect said 'allah akbar,' meaning 'God is the greatest' in Arabic, before one of the attacks."

"God is the greatest" is close, but it's still a misleadingly incomplete translation. While "allah" is indeed generally translated as "God," the deity of Islam and the Qur'an is so different from the God of the Bible as to call for different terms. Also, the deity that is being invoked here is quite specifically the allah of the Qur'an, and not the God of the Bible, and so it is best to leave that word untranslated.

Meanwhile, "akbar" does indeed mean "greatest," or more precisely "biggest," as well as "greater" or "bigger," and in this case, the most accurate translation of the phrase "allahu akbar" would be "allah is greater."

That's certainly what jihad terrorists mean when they scream it out in the midst of their violent acts. They do not just happen to be randomly making a declaration of the greatness of allah while stabbing or beheading someone. Their scream of "allahu akbar" is meant to indicate that allah is showing himself to be greater precisely in and through the act of violence at hand, and demonstrating that he has greater power than the infidels' god, who was powerless to save the victims from the attack.

In this case, the allahu-akbaring jihadi "allegedly jumped the first victim, a 57-year-old Asian man near West 84th Street and Central Park West, and stabbed him in the back with a knife, at around 1:30 p.m., police and the sources said." Then he zeroed in on more apposite quarry: "The second victim, a 50-year-old man wearing a yarmulke, was attacked as he was leaving synagogue at Central Park West and West 86th Street, and stabbed in the torso with a screwdriver, according to cops and sources."

The "allahu akbar" cry came during the attack on the Jewish man... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
