A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Who cares? It’s like when James Bond says “for king and country”. It’s just a statement of allegiances, and these people are declaring allegiance to God.

Not the Christian god, that’s the problem “conservatives” have.

Allegiance to Islam, at the site of the worst Islamic terrorist attack on America soil.

It's little more than just declaring allegiance to their god.

Doesn’t that just mean praise god or god is good or something similar?

It means God is great. It is a pretty mundane term. It is also used where Americans might say oh shit or something similar.

There was a pilot who crashed and the cockpit recorder recorded him saying Allah Akbar many times. The Arabs said that is common in situations of stress. As such, it is something to be freaked about when someone says it.
