What do you think the people shouting them at a Catholic Church meant? Two weeks after a priest had his head cut off in his church?
Irrelevant.You appear to be unaware that the term is a Sunni Arabic expression originally. You should ask the originators for a proper translation.
You don't even know if muslims shouted those words, whether it was high jinks, or whether it was someone making their own voice heard after a bunch of armed christian nutcases had previously shouted some shit or other over a megaphone outside a mosque somewhere.
Like I say, to you, they mean whatever you want them to. You can choose them and pretty much any similar words or excuse to hate, demonize, marginalize or encourage sectarianism against any group you don't like.

Inflammatory talk isn’t entertaining, but dangerous. It’s past time for Trump to grow up.
Yet if bigotry has been amplified by his candidacy, let’s remember that there are still deep reservoirs of social capital — including in conservative neighborhoods — that have proved impervious to Trump’s insinuations.
In Georgia, an India-born Muslim named Malik Waliyani bought a gas station and convenience store a few months ago and was horrified when it was recently burglarized and damaged. He struggled to keep it going. But then the nearby Smoke Rise Baptist Church heard what had happened.
“Let’s shower our neighbor with love,” Chris George, the pastor, told his congregation at the end of his sermon, and more than 200 members drove over to assist, mostly by making purchases.
“Our faith inspires us to build bridges, not to label people as us and them, but to recognize that we’re all part of the same family,” the pastor told me. “Our world is a stronger place when we choose to look past labels and embrace others with love.”
This is a wrenching, divisive, polarizing time in America, and we have a major party nominee who is sowing hatred and perhaps violence. Let’s not succumb. Good people, like the members of Smoke Rise Baptist, are reweaving our nation’s social fabric even as it is being torn.

Thank you for your service Barney Fife.
Irrelevant.
All muslims use the term Allahu as - 'God is'..or maybe sometimes 'the God is..'
Any Sunni or a group of them can say it means whatever they want. It still doesn't change the fact that "Our god.." is not its normal, general, or broad usage or meaning, historically or etymologically.
True, I don't. I suspect the government will not make it a priority to find out either.
Certainly you would agree though that if it were muslims, that it borders on terroristic threats.
The earlier questions about whether it is reasonable to use deadly force when one hears this shouted is a reasonable issue, considering that it frequently precedes some muslim horror. If I happened to be walking by that church or was in the parking lot and heard it and I was carrying, I would certainly prepare to draw my weapon.
Lmao, you're so powerful.Just begging for ignore, are we?
