It will be necessary to eliminate muslims as a threat to peace and order, by whatever method required.

No, AFP. “Allahu Akbar” does NOT mean “God Is Great”; it means Allah is greater [than your god]. Read Robert Spencer’s article.

Will shouting “Allahu Akbar” become equivalent to shouting “Fire!” in a crowd in the USA?
