File under: Islamic State

#1 He died in a hail of bullets while yelling 'Allahu Akbar' - meaning 'God is greatest' in Arabic.

Sadly we'll likely never know his motivation. Possibly the Reform Movement

#2 We should check the International Classification of Diseases. Surely there's a cause in there, somewhere.

Strong and athletic, Younes even won trophies for running and climbing.

But he sucked at dodging.

#6 ...while yelling 'Allahu Akbar' - meaning 'God is greatest' in Arabic.

The Muslims seem to always push "God is Great" for this, but I have reason to believe that's just a subterfuge, and it's really "God is Greater."

This is the first I've seen of Greatest, does anyone had a good fix on this?

Could be that there are several meanings; if you're about to get shot or blow-up some people it might be different than during holy prayer.
