Why do they shout "Allah akbar" repeatedly when things get blown up?

Hard to say how long it took, several weeks?. At times trying to read it felt like being on a forced march. Maybe my expectations were too high, the Quran supposedly being sent down from God and all, but overall it disappointed.

Sometimes it was so dull and repetitive it put me to sleep and sometimes it was so cruel and horrific I couldn't sleep.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
