He is yelling, "Allahu Akbar", translated to English, "Allah is greater." as well as saying that it has caught fire. As for the end, where they are actually speaking in sentences, I'm confused. I can only understand a few words in Arabic.

Pretty sickening to hear that considering you usually hear that demented chanting in IED videos by insurgents.

Why did some one scribble all over the video in the top-left of the screen?

"Allahu Akbar" isn't really anything more unusual or serious than guys from our western culture saying "thank God" or "praise the Lord" when something good happens. It doesn't (necessarily) mean they're religious fanatics.

I don't believe they were thinking religion at all..... more like terrorist.

I have a hard time seeing a civilian uprising against an oppressive regime and fighting military forces as "terrorism".

Agree!

I failed to add.... I do not think this terrorism. I only mean that folks are used to hearing terrorist mutter the same type phrases.

When you don't speak the language you can only relate sounds. Certainly does not mean the folks are the same types or beliefs.

No... the fault was all mine by not making myself clear. I even read it after posting and thought "what a jerk this guy is". Then saw it was me. :D

We never would have been. The Germans discovered to their cost that "they would have to break us in this island or lose the war"

They couldn't match us in the air and the might of the Royal Navy would have obliterated them in any invasion attempt. Hitler gave up trying in 1940.

There are sources that say otherwise. Such as my in class history book, but hey history is written by the victor(s).
