Imam Chants “Allah Akbar” During 9/11 Memorial At Catholic University In Florida
Considered to be one of the largest Catholic universities in the United States, Barry University, which is nestled in Miami Shores, Florida, hosted an interfaith memorial service to remember the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks.
According to Laura Loomer, a senior at the university, the service began with Imam Nasir Ahmad, leader of Liberty City’s Mosque Masjid Al Ansar in Miami-Dade County, repeatedly chanting the ominous phrase “Allah Akbar” during his 10-15 minute address.
“We have to be very careful with exporting democracy, and democracy should not be exported at the point of a gun.”-Imam Nasir Amad (Palm Beach Post 9/12/2012)
The phrase Allah Akbar is arabic for “Allah is greatest.”
Loomer said that she, as well as other students and other members of the community, were offended by Ahmad’s use of the phrase during the service, and felt ” insulted that on a day like 9/11 they would allow for a man of Muslim faith to open the service and chant Allah Akbar, the words that suicide bombers and terrorists chant before blowing themselves up.”
Loomer also discussed her concern with two political science professors at Barry University who agreed that her concern was valid.
I could refer to myself as much greater than Allah because he’s a mythical fairy who doesn’t exist!
From wikiislam:
Note that people who are self-described monotheists rely upon a comparative. Further, again from wkiislam:
So, of the several ilahs, Allah is greater than the others. Perhaps it is hard to keep “facts” straight when one’s make them up.
If they invited a Muslim (and a priest at that), they should be ready for anything he says.
I believe that there must be a gap between the thinking of the organizers and the audience.
OK
It should be legal to discriminate against religions as part of the ‘religious freedom’ that comes with being an atheist. Religious nuts have long accused atheism of being a ‘faith’ so why shouldn’t we embrace that and also with it the protections offered, just as muslims discriminate against … well, anyone who isn’t a muslim pretty much! I mean they’re worshipping a used car salesman who was a criminal, a thief, a mass murderer, and a child rapist. How can we expect them to have ANY moral fiber amongst them?
Promethius, you’re exactly right. We discriminate in all aspects of society, religions shouldn’t be any different, just because someone deems something as ”holy” (to them), does not mean it has to be ”holy ” to me. That said, I believe, but it doesn’t mean that no one isn’t allowed to question that faith, rake it over the coals in criticism, or at least….doubt it. Christianity has long since run the gambit of criticism, Judaism as well, Islam happens to be the world’s only major belief (and political system) that deems its ideology outside the bounds of critique that effects the rest. And as you say, even atheists have to experience critique, as well as complete rejection, so to Islam, in fact it’s imperative that we do so.
