Why should the priests be worried? After all, the establishment media made a full-court press a few years ago to convince Americans that “Allahu akbar” was a benign phrase that only greasy Islamophobes could possibly be concerned about.
In the New York Daily News, Zainab Chaudry of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) argued that non-Muslims shouldn’t “believe the worst” about “Allahu akbar” because Muslims don’t just scream it while murdering non-Muslims, but use it in a variety of contexts. She even offered this chilling advice, certain to get people killed were it ever heeded: “So the next time you hear Allahu Akbar — whether it’s in a media report, on an airplane, or in a shopping mall, remember that the phrase used by millions of Muslims and Christians daily to praise God regardless of their circumstances, can never be justified for use when harming His creation.” So stay put, evidently; fleeing would be “Islamophobic.”
On CNN, Omar Suleiman — the imam who prevailed upon Google to alter their search results so as to bury any negative information about Islam — also argued that Muslims say “Allahu akbar” in a variety of contexts, many of them positive. And the New York Times actually tweeted that the phrase “Allahu akbar” had “somehow” become “intertwined with terrorism.”
Somehow! How could this have possibly happened? Could it have anything to do with the thousands of Muslims who have screamed “Allahu akbar” while in the process of murdering or trying to murder infidels?
“An investigation is opened after the sending of letters with the mention of ‘Allah Akbar’ to priests of Vaucluse,” translated from “Une enquête ouverte après l’envoi de courriers avec la mention ‘Allah Akbar’ à des prêtres du Vaucluse,” La Depeche, December 12, 2020:
A preliminary investigation was opened after seven priests of Vaucluse received suspicious letters by name, bearing the mention of “Allah Akbar”, we learned on Wednesday, December 9 from the gendarmerie, which says that it is a case that is “taken very seriously”.
“Handwritten letters were mailed to seven black African priests with their names and the address of the rectory where they live. The mail only says ‘Allah Akbar’ [God is the greatest], in French and in Arabic,” the Vicar General of the Diocese of Avignon Pascal Molemb Emock told AFP….
“These are not direct death threats, but in the context of a terrorist threat, this matter is taken very seriously,” added a source in the gendarmerie. The letters come from neighboring Gard, according to the same source.
“I am not afraid for myself, I will continue to live alone in my rectory. But I am responsible for a community, I must be careful for the parishioners”, commented for France 3 one of the priests who received this letter.
At the end of October, a knife attack perpetrated in a basilica in Nice by a young Tunisian, since indicted and imprisoned in particular for terrorist assassinations, claimed the lives of three people.

How many have heard any Christian saying this phrase? How many who may have heard a Christian say this phrase then had their throat sliced or a bomb thrown at their body?
And suppose for an instant, just an instant, that there was a different phrase only one group said…shouted…immediately before a murder or terror attack.
Suppose a group known for domestic only terror attacks said this phrase before they bombed, shot, ran people down with a vehicle, would a spokesman for that group then get to claim that the “phrase didn’t have a bad meaning, but meant that they were going to have a nice lunch and sing some calming songs”? If the spokesperson claimed this, how many would actually believe him/her?
These priests and their congregations should be watching for any non member, especially one who has the appearance of a moslim…no matter the nationality…approaching their church or related buildings…and be ready to protect themselves.

How about “Rosebud” ???

It was kind of whispered to Joseph Cotton, wasn’t it? I always found that movie difficult to follow, so I might be totally wrong.
J. Cotton was one of my all-time favorites.

There was a Colombo movie where a guy trained his Dobermans, Laurel and Hardy, to attack and kill on the command of “rosebud”.

Atheist Kafir/Infidel says
Koranimals refer to France as “Farinjstan,” the Islamic conquest of which is of paramount importance right after the Mohammedan re-occupation of the Iberian Peninsula as well as Israel, and, above all, the ‘Greatest Fatih,’ namely the conquest of Rome.
As per Koran 12:21, Koranimals believe that “there’s no Victor but Allah,” for which the Arabic translation is engraved all over the walls of Granada, Spain, and it’s way past f*cking time 125 million Islamosavvy, culturally and racially aware pure-blooded Western and Eastern European non-Koranimals took up arms against 2 billion Koranimals, bar none, Western laws be damned!
Allahu asghar! Darwin Akbar!

American Jets That Killed Soleimani Entered Iraq With Permission: Former Iraqi PM
In a TV interview, former Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said the American fighter jets that killed Qasem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis near Baghdad airport entered the country with the “permission” of Iraq.
Qasem Soleimani, the former commander of the Qods (Quds) Force, the international branch of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), was targeted and killed by American forces on January 3 while leaving Baghdad airport in the company of Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the commander of Hashd al-Shaabi militia.
Al-Abadi said in the interview: “The jet fighters that targeted the two commanders at the airport, entered the Iraqi territory with permission. You can check and see for yourself. I’ve said it before and I say it now. I’m not accusing anyone.”
In response to the interviewer saying “Mr [former] prime minister, this is a dangerous thing to say”, al-Abadi emphasized: “This is the truth, and everyone knows it.”
The former Iraqi prime minister clarified: “They entered the country with Iraq’s permission, but I’m not making an accusation that Iraqis knew the objective of those fighters.”
Al-Abadi refused to say “who gave the jet fighters the permission to enter Iraq” and told the interviewer you can check that for yourself.
After the operation, Pentagon announced in a statement that targeting Soleimani by the American army was done by the order of President Trump.
Daily Mail reported at the time that the attack was done by a drone that was sent from the American base in Qatar.
Some influential figures in Iraq had implicitly claimed that they were aware of the US army’s plan to kill Soleimani and al-Muhandis. The leader of Badr Organization, an Iran-backed militia group claimed last year that he sent a message to Soleimani days before the US army operation, telling him not to enter Iraq.

Nothing says Xmas Jihad Slaughterfest like “Allah akbar”!
Things to remember when this year’s carnage is over:
* it’s only a minority of (fake/deluded/radicalised/insane) Muslims doing the slaughtering
* Muslims are the REAL victims
* any opposition to Islamic mass migration is pandering to the diabolical “far right”, e.g. Marine Le Pen
So, in the spirit of (mandatory) multicultural and diverse Xmas greetings, Merry Allah Akbar!
lol (kinda)

The priests shouldn’t worry at all. Allahu akbar simply means that Allah is greater than all other gods, but Allah is just the Arabic for God, so just treat it as a linguistic issue and move on ?

IN that report about the former French military leader warning that France could face civil war, Jayell mentioned that there were 8.8% of the French population who were Muslims. I hadn’t realised it was so high and it is very alarming. Any country with that many Muslims (barbaric enemies of our western way of life) is in huge trouble. France is definitely in big trouble and these threats to these priests, along with all the other evil garbage Muslims bring, shows that Muslims bring nothing but trouble to all countries that let them in. Here in Australia, I watch a TV program called “Outsiders” on Sunday morning. One of the three presenters of the program, Rita Panahi, who was brought up as a Muslim and lived in Iran for a while as a child, but is now an atheist, mentioned that an Iranian dissident, named, Ruhollah Zam, had been executed by the Iranian regime. Apparently, the regime lured him to some place (he had lived in France) where they captured him and executed him. I thought Jihad Watch might be interested in that action by the verminous Iranian regime.

France: Seven priests receive letters that say only ‘Allahu akbar’
………………
Of course this is a threat. I hope these Priests and their flocks are able to stay safe, and that these thugs are caught.
Alan says
allahua akbar means allah is great. allah is not the god of other beliefs, it is the god of islam.
“There is no god but allah; muhammad is the messenger of allah.” is the shahada and one of the five pillars of islam.
gravenimage says
“Allahu Akbar!” means “Allah is *greater*”, and is an expression of Muslim supremacy. It is also regularly used as a violent war cry, as Alan here likely knows.

“I am not afraid for myself, I will continue to live alone in my rectory. But I am responsible for a community, I must be careful for the parishioners”
Sounds like someone is asking for a defrocking and an ex-communication. He obviously has not been listening to and abiding by the ramblings of the big guy in the Vatican.
OLD GUY says
When you allow a group or nation of people who have a long history of hate for your country or religious belief to enter your homeland you are inviting disaster. Would or will these threats come true is yet to be seen, but I would take it seriously. It seem all too common for islamic terrorist to murder Christians and the media ignore it, while they make a big deal out of anyone who even says something off colored about Islam or Muhammad.
Linda Rivera says
Definitely a threat to murder the innocent priests.
Give the priests round the clock protection.
And no. The Muslim god of Mass Murder is NOT greater than the HOLY ONE, our precious, very wonderful, awesome, glorious, magnificent Creator.
