Alabama attorney general candidate Jay Mitchell: ‘Allahu Akbar your butt all the way back to the Middle East’
Close attention should be paid to the deceitful words of Shakir Mustafa in response to Jay Mitchell. Mustafa is teaching professor of Arabic at Northeastern University. He references “ignorance” of Islam and the Qur’an. He also insults the intelligence of infidels when he states that “the phrase ‘Allahu Akbar,’ in the form that these extremists are using it, simply does not appear in the Quran.” The issue is not whether “Allahu akbar” appears in the Qur’an. The issue is the context and meaning of “Allahu akbar,” and why jihadis frequently shout it before a violent attack. Mustafa fails to explain any of this. Instead, he deflects attention away from the real issue by talking about whether “Allahu akbar” appears in the Qur’an; he conveniently avoids discussing what is actually said in Islamic texts, and why jihadists do shout “Allahu akbar” when they murder people as instructed:
“Let those who sell the life of this world for the next fight in the way of Allah. Whoever fights in the way of Allah, whether he is killed or victorious, on him we will bestow a great reward.” (Quran 4:74)
A man asks Muhammad “which of men is the best?” Muhammad replies that it is the man who is always ready for battle and flies into it “seeking death at places where it can be expected.” (Sahih Muslim 20:4655)
In the words of Muhammad: “I would love to be martyred in Allah’s Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 2797)
So when jihadists shout “Allahu akbar” before doing exactly what is commanded in the Qur’an and Hadith, it is a declaration of their faith in Allah as being “greater” than the God or gods of the infidel or infidels. The praises of Allah ring out just as the infidels are about to be violently killed in the name of Allah.
Taqiyya (dissimulation) is another practice in Islam. As Muhammad said: “War is deceit.”(Sunan Abī Dāwūd 2637). Islamic scholars such as Shakir Mustafa easily play Westerners for fools. These alleged authorities actively deceive non-Muslims and avoid discussing the violent, abusive and supremacist verses in the Qur’an and Hadiths.
The Washington Post some years ago described ISIS caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar.” The Post was rightfully ridiculed for this, but al-Baghdadi did actually have a PhD in Islamic theology, and so was a much greater scholar of Islam than Shakir Mustafa. Al-Baghdadi earned his bachelor’s degree in Sharia studies from the University of Baghdad, later completed advanced studies in Qur’anic recitation, and earned his master’s degree and doctorate in Qur’anic studies from the Islamic University of Baghdad. He went on to follow what he learned, and to lead others to do the same. So while the WaPo may have shot itself in the foot by praising him while insisting that Islam is a religion of peace, the publication was inadvertently revealing an inconvenient truth about what al-Baghdadi was in Islam, in which the highest calling is martyrdom (being killed while killing infidels) for the sake of Allah.
Normative Islam is not a religion of peace. It is a religion of conquest. Jay Mitchell’s wording does not reflect ignorance. It reflects utter frustration over the willful ignorance of the West in the truth about Islam.
‘You can Allahu Akbar your butt all the way back to the Middle East’:
Republican slams ‘radical Islam’ in new ad,” AL.com, March 30, 2026:
Alabama attorney general candidate Jay Mitchell has a new ad in which he tells those who “stand with radical Islam” to “Allahu Akbar your butt all the way back to the Middle East.”
The Arabic phrase translates to “God is greater.”
It also has a long history of being misused by religious extremists in Middle Eastern countries who have coopted the phrase as a rallying cry, falsely referencing the Quran to claim Islamic superiority over all other religions, according to Shakir Mustafa, teaching professor of Arabic at Northeastern University.
“Much of the success of Islamic fundamentalism is based in ignorance or in manipulating other peoples’ ignorance of what the religion is and what the Quran says,” Mustafa told the university news site in 2017.
“The phrase ‘Allahu Akbar,’ in the form that these extremists are using it, simply does not appear in the Quran.”
All current YouTube comments under Mitchell’s ad take issue with his choice of phrase.
“This is so beneath the office you’re seeking,” one reads.
“Can’t believe he said Allahu Akbar,” another reads.
“So offensive and ignorant. What a pathetic ad reflecting the exact state of this country right now.”…

Minnesota: Somalis Demand Schools Teach in Somali So Their Kids Don’t Learn English
Scenes from the Somali takeover of a mostly white Minnesota town.

Faribault, Minnesota, is a small city about an hour’s drive from Minneapolis. On paper it should have the smaller crime rate of the alphabetically similar Farmington which is nearly the same size and only a half hour away. Instead, Faribault has more than twice as much violent crime, aggravated assaults, burglaries and car thefts, 30% more rapes, and 8 times as many robberies. Farmington has no arsons, but Faribault has the most arsons of any city outside major strongholds like Minneapolis, St. Paul or Duluth.
But Faribault has something Farmington doesn’t: diversity. Especially from its Somalis.
The city of over 20,000 used to be much less diverse. In 1990, it was even 98% white. Or as the Minnesota Post described it, with a shudder, “an almost entirely homogeneous white community, not much different from many towns across Minnesota.” But Faribault was an hour away from Minneapolis at a time when it was being overtaken by Somali mass migration, and it had a meat processing plant, now partly shut down, which is always a draw for illegal aliens and migrants.
Now Faribault is much more diverse and it has problems that it didn’t used to have.
Faribault was the epicenter of a $2.6 million Somali Medicaid ride fraud scam in which 8 Somalis, two of them named Mohammed, stole hundreds of names to bill taxpayers for rides, interpreters and acupuncture services that never happened.
It was also part of the $250 million Somali meal scam that first broke open Somali fraud.
Faribault’s part in the massive fraud in which nonprofits claimed to be providing free meals to hundreds of thousands of Somali kids who didn’t exist came through the Somali American Faribault Education (SAFE) run by Mohamed Hussein and Lul Bashir Ali, who made off with $5 million in meal funds after claiming that their restaurant in Faribault, which only had 9 tables, was serving meals to 1,600 children a day and had served a total of 700,000 meals.
The Somali American Faribault Education (SAFE) nonprofit also claimed to be providing meals to 2,500 children a day. Sizable amounts of kickbacks were paid to a man who then fled to Somalia. The Minnesota Post’s article praising the Somali takeover of Faribault had hailed SAFE, claiming that it “provides refugees with ESL programs and connects them to jobs”.
The other non-profit promoted by the Post article, the ‘Somali Community Resettlement Services’, which operates out of the massive 115-year-old historic Gale Mansion, often used as a wedding venue, has been linked to one Faribault meal site that claimed to be offering 2,000 meals a day.
The ‘Somali Community Resettlement Services’ solicited nearly $3 million for the free meals and Somali elected officials had proposed bills that would pour millions into the organization.
The fraud also penetrated the Faribault public school system as investigators are also trying to figure out where $1 million in grant money to stop Somali drug abuse solicited by Lul Bashir Ali, initially identified only as a Somali mother, went.
“‘We need help.’ This sentiment, expressed by a Somali mother about the specific concern of youth drug use and the more general frustration of trying to parent in a new culture, captures the heart of this grant proposal.” The Minnesota Department of Human Services responded with nearly $1 million for the Faribault schools that was supposedly used to provide Somali services.
Faribault is much more diverse now with an estimated 4,600 Somalis out of 25,000 people. The white population has dropped to 65% and the school system is even more diverse.
Minority enrollment in the city’s schools was up 243% in twenty years. By 2018, minority students made up a majority of the school system. Today, 60% of the school district is minority and only 36% white. A population of older white homeowners is subsidizing education and services for Somali and South American migrant meatpacking plant workers with their property taxes.
The Faribault School Board has recently been debating teaching science, health and social studies in Somali. As of 2022, there were over 900 Faribault students who didn’t speak English.
The Somali education program was proposed after complaints from Somalis and other migrants that their “home languages were being lost as students became more English-dominant” and “parents and children no longer shared a common language, weakening communication and cultural connections within families.” Rather than expecting their parents to learn English, Faribault schools are expected to prevent their children from learning English, instead teaching them in Somali.
Faribault might as well teach the students in Somali because state test proficiency scores showed that math proficiency was at 13.7%, science was at 16.1% and reading was at 29.8%. Test scores, graduation rates, attendance and every possible metric are below state standards.
What would Faribault be like if it were less diverse and Somali? Faribault school statistics show that students for whom English is their native language perform over three times better on math, science and more than twice as well on reading. Students who aren’t on welfare perform four times as well on math and science. Call it the ‘Somali Effect’.
Faribault is more diverse, it’s also more dangerous and has linked up with the epicenter of Somali fraud in the Twin Cities. Its schools are failing and it has no future.
“Faribault has become our city,” a Somali interviewed by the Minnesota Post bragged.
