    Yes. Its the war cry of islamic terrorists, most famously used during the 9/11 attacks.

    So either the most tone-deaf people ever, or supporting 9/11.

      It literally just means god is great (or something similar). It’s like when people who stormed the capitol on Jan 7 were chanting “USA USA USA”. Is “USA” a war cry for treason and insurrection?

      It’s also used for many other purposes. As Americans we are not exposed to Islamic culture often. In the army they trained us in it for deployment.

        At the wtc site? At ground zero? Again, either super tone deaf, or supporting 9/11. I dont see whatelse it might be. Maybe threatening another 9/11?

          Lots of words were involved in the 9/11 attacks. That doesn’t mean those words signify those attacks.

            Dont be obtuse. Theyre declaring themselves Islamic at the site of the worst Islamic terrorist attack ever on American soil. A lot of people remember those attacks. A lot of people lost friends and family in those attacks.

            This is not some quirky “oh look at the different culture, isnt it so neat?” this shit is nasty.
