Jordan: Murderers of Christians at funeral praise Allah for the murders: ‘Allahu akbar, and glory belongs to Allah’
How could they praise Allah for murdering people in cold blood? It was Allah who commanded them to “kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 4:91, cf. 9:5). They scream “Allahu akbar,” Allah is greater, because the act of violence shows Allah’s superiority: in the view of the jihadis, the infidels’ God could not save them from Allah’s wrath.
The jihadis were also screaming “Allahu akbar” as they carried out the murders:

After the attack, the terrorists recorded this chilling message:
“Allahu Akbar, and glory belongs to Allah. We have brutally punished the Christians of Karak in revenge for Islam and the Islamic State. Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!”
They explicitly invoked Islam and the Islamic State to justify their attack on Christians. These are their own words.
