An important note on the pronunciation of “Allahu Akbar”

Poke Staff. Updated November 2nd, 2017

The subtle difference between praising God and praising starchy tubers.

I just saw a TV reporter pronouncing it as ‘aloo akbar’ which literally translates to ‘potatoes are the greatest’ https://t.co/6qLi52fU2y

For the record, "Allahu Akbar" has no inherent political/violent connotation meriting instant terror diagnosis.I say it like 20 times a day.

There was plenty of spud-love to be found.

To be fair, potatoes are indeed the greatest
