CNN’s Jake Tapper responded to the New York City terror attack by remarking how “allahu akbar,” the phrase witnesses say was uttered by the terror suspect, is not always a call to Islamic arms — but can also be a phrase of great beauty.

Yes. This is how the mainstream media responds to attacks on America’s own soil — but defending the religion responsible for the terror.
Breitbart noted the televised exchange, between Tapper and Shimon Prokupecz, CNN’s crime and justice journalist:
Tuesday on CNN’s “The Lead,” host Jake Tapper discussed reports that the New York City attacker yelled “Allahu Akbar” while allegedly carrying out a terror attack.
Tapper commented that “Allahu Akbar, God is great” was sometimes said “under the most beautiful of circumstances,” but too often in circumstances of terror attacks.
artial transcript as follows:
TAPPER: “Shimon Prokupecz has some breaking news that might bear on your take on this horrific incident.”
PROKUPECZ: That’s right, Jake. So what we’re told, I’m told by three sources now that the NYPD and the FBI are investigating this as a terrorism incident. Our understanding is that, according to witnesses who police have now talked to, they’re saying — they’re telling police that they heard the driver saying, yelling, ‘Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,’ during this incident, which is now leading authorities to believe that this is, as a result, that this is now a terrorism case. And I’m just getting an update now that the FBI is taking over this case because it appears now that this is terrorism.
TAPPER: The Arabic chant, Allahu Akbar, God is great, sometimes said under the most beautiful of circumstances, and too often we hear it being said in moments like this. General Clapper, when you were director of national intelligence, you had afternoons like the one that the director of national intelligence, Dan Coats, is having right now. What goes through your mind? And what are the actions that you’re ordering the intelligence agencies to take?

Trapper: Enabler and traitor in my book. Also, Allahu Akbar is not “God is great.” It is actually, “God is greater,” as in ‘”Our god is greater than your God.” (Yes, I did mean little “g” god.)

he is absolutely correct from the terrorist point of view as slaying the infidel is an godly act and thus beautiful in the eye of the believer

“Tapper commented that “Allahu Akbar, God is great” was sometimes said “under the most beautiful of circumstances”. Scraping the bottom of the barrel for that one for sure. Apparently he is getting paid to spin islamic terror, even when it is as disgusting as this latest muslim perpetrated murder. How much did that little gem earn him?

In which Tapper discusses his date with Lewinsky, acts like a jerky guy and says the F-word before speculating about something the blue dress was to prove only later. The guy’s background is Jewish, and he’s completely lost his compass, whatever that was, once upon a time. But isn’t he a Big Shot now?

How do people like Tapper still manage to manufacture their own “reality”, and then peddle it to the public, without being confronted head-on by that same public, weary of Tapper-like twits’ willful attempt to piss in our ear, and tell us that it’s raining?

WHAT?? You got to be kidding me! Why you ……
I was just thinking how they are TRULY MENTALLY ILL people when they yell a phrase like that and start to SLAUGHTER people in the name of a PAGAN god!!
I am convinced of this. You are bringing millions of MENTALLY-ILL PSYCHOS on your land. And anybody who is saying otherwise, you should IMMEDIATELY start to look for another friend.

The idiot liberals love Islam, despite the fact that Islam has no love of any infidel, especially the queer and ungodly atheists.

When Tapper first came on the scene, he had potential of being a good journalist. Being part of the CNN Fake News agency has turned him in to just another liberal talking head without the capability of independent thought or knowledge of reality. A career wasted inside the liberal bubble without integrity or credibility but after his lobotomy I don’t if he even notices.
It is still surprising to me that people can sell their souls for a few dollars.

Is Trapper an Islamist convert by chance? Strange how no one gives this information out – as it is relevant.

“Tapper commented that “Allahu Akbar, God is great” was sometimes said “under the most beautiful of circumstances.”
Does he also think “Hail Satan!” was also sometimes said under the most beautiful of circumstances?

“Allahu akbar” is often mistranslated in the Western media as “God is great.” But the actual meaning is “Allah is greater,” meaning Allah Is Greater Than Your God or Government. It is the aggressive declaration that Allah and Islam are dominant over every other form of government, religion, law or ethic, which is why Islamic jihadists in the midst of killing infidels so often shout it. One primary purpose of shouting is to “strike terror in the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60).
