‘War Cry Of Allah’ Declared At White House?
Seen as ‘victory for Taliban and Islamic radicals around the world’
WND
WASHINGTON — Many Americans have been puzzled by the bizarre behavior of soldier Bowe Bergdahl’s father, Robert, during a White House Rose Garden ceremony on Saturday celebrating the exchange of his son for five top Taliban commanders.
The father began by saying his son was having trouble speaking English after five years away from home.
He then uttered the Arabic phrase that begins every chapter of the Quran, except one, “Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim.” It means, “In the name of Allah, the merciful, the compassionate.”
Brigitte Gabriel of Act for America explained to Sean Hannity in a Fox News interview Wednesday night it declares the greatness of Allah over the land, calling it a “war cry of Allah” and a Muslim victory call.
Essentially, it means Robert Bergdahl was claiming the White House as a spoil of war, she said.
However, Gabriel said she doubts the elder Bergdahl understood the significance of what he was saying and did not intend to claim the White House, or America, in the name of Islam.
