Takbir

"Unfortunately , the Allahu akbar has become associated with battle Islam."

"Allahu akbar has come to be widely associated with violence, nonMuslim ears are anxious about Islamic sounds, which simply do not belong, amplified or not."

"Allahu akbar ' - has instead become associated with violent terrorist attacks . Like the Takbir , religion itself , especially since 9/11 , is often seen as a source of conflict ."

"Allahu akbar has been often misinterpreted. It doesn't mean that God is great. It means that God is greater. The phrase is a comparative, not a superlative."

"Allahu Akbar has become a cry as sinister as the Nazis' Sieg Heil. By trying to conquer the world, fundamentalism has attracted its hostility."

"Wave after wave of barbarian conquest has rolled over this devoted land of ours. "Allah Ho Akbar!" has rent the skies for hundreds of years, and no Hindu knew what moment would be his last."

"There where was heard before The clamour and uproar of the heathen, Now there is heard resounding The shout of ‘Allaho Akbar’."
