Dum Pendebat Filius

A sniff in the kortevar, that what you cry for, yeled? A prert up the cull, a prang on the dumpendebat?

The Costco Coulter Giveth Praise Unto Allah

Dear Costco Coulter,

If you’re going to claim on your biography page that you “speak Arabic,” you might want to think about getting the most basic Arabic phrases right.

There’s no such thing as “Alhamdillullah.” This is a mistake you’ve made many, many times. We’ve even talked about it before.

The phrase is al-hamdu lillah. Not al-hamdi lullah or “Alhamdillullah.” Furthermore, it doesn’t mean “Praise Allah.” It means “Praise [be] to God,” or simply Thank God.

Most Arabs say it about fifty times a day. You might want to try getting it right once in a while. That would make your claims of linguistic prowess a little easier to believe.

Just something to think about.

Love,
Dumpendebat

  1. Stram:

    Wingnuts are like that. They don’t care if what they say is actually true or not because their audiences are generally too fucking ignorant to know any different.

    Look at how Sarah Palin has lied 27 times about her unrelenting support for the ‘bridge to nowhere’.

    And I see where Dank left another one of his intelligent comments when you posted about this before. You have to admit, he’s consistent when it comes to ignorance.

  2. Hank Dagny:

    Osama bin Laden
    Obama and Bidin

    Coincidence? I think not.

    Of course, even Biden said he was not the right pick. Not after telling a wheel-chair bound guy to “stand up” so people could see him.

    Lucky for this country liberals are incompetent.

  3. Stram:

    Chirp, chirp, chirp ….

    You’re still banned, H.D. Give it a rest.
