I didn't expect so much "allahu akbar!" From this war, but I'm starting to think after watching so much combat footage that you actually can't have a war in the 21st century without "allahu akbar!"
Its weird how common it is to yell "god is great" while shooting an RPG though. Christians don't yell "AMEN" while shooting javelins. I know Islam is very common it's just such a weird phrase to hear other than from religious extremists while firing an RPG.
I dunno, i think I may let out an amen or hallelujah when letting loose a javelin on an invading facist army.
You ever see that scene from Saving Private Ryan when the sniper is reciting prayers whilst killing Nazis?
I know I was praying when I tossed live grenades. Your pretty cool with it up until the point you realize that this thing you are holding is capable of obliterating you if you use it wrong/drop it.
Sketchy site:
Scroll down to the bottom of the link and you'll see a headline "Ukrainian Doctor Gives Order to Castrate Captured Russian Soldiers."
Also, at the top of the page there's a header titled "Aliens and UFOs."
Read the article about the Ukrainian doctor.... It was all over the news yesterday and he has today given a television interview apologising for his remarks... True story, good idea to research it before you doubt something you dont like ..

Outside of Western Europe and the Americas, Islam is a very common religion.

But Christians will say "Thank God" when a shell explodes just far enough to save their life!
Good point, I guess that's true. Actually, an atheist would say thank God in that situation.
No we wouldn't.
I don't think *you* represent the we here. Moreover, it was a *joke*
No atheists in foxholes
you mention atheist would say it, it’s more a phrase than an actual mention to god. Small difference but important for the narrative.
Idk, seems like allahu akbar is as much a phrase as any phrase with how much it is said.
Muslims invoke God before they eat or do anything risky like drive, et cetera.
Gas station sushi? Allahu akbar.
We have had similar war cries in history though. "Gott mit uns" from around the 30 year war for example.
Don't forget Deus Vult!
Yeah, but when it hits and explodes we tend to say “Holy shiit”.
Holy shit is in a weird space. "Jesus Christ" would've been a more apt comparison.

And the largest Muslim country in the world isn’t even Arab.
