Is This the First "Allahu Akbar" Oscars?

So Muslim music dude A. R. Rahman said, “Allahu Akbar,” upon winning the first of two Oscars he’s won so far. He says it means, “god is great.” Uh, no. It means, “allah is the greater” or “allah is the greatest,” meaning greater than your and my G-d or the greatest above your or my G-d. And that’s part of my tiny objection to “Slumdog Millionaire,” which I loved. It shows us the scene of a brutal massacre of Muslims by Hindus. It’s the same problem we see on a much smaller scale with regard to Oscar nominee, “Waltz with Bashir .” They don’t show the plethora of Muslim massacres and violence against Hindus and Sikhs and Christians in India.

Ironically, “Rahman,” mean mercy or the merciful. Too bad he didn’t have mercy on the Oscar audience to leave the Islamic chant we hear in Nick Berg videos out of it.
