I have been racking my brain and it hasn't come yet.
After I listened to Medved. I wrote down the websight and visited it, it has been a little while back. The guy has written at least 1 book, I think he is a college teacher at University in Israel.
The calls are coming in fast and furious tonight so I haven't had a moment to root through my word associations that help me find names in my memory. I will come up with it though..
His name is Victor Mordecai, Medved interviewed him 6/23/04.

If you scan down the page.:"Other things: Allahu Akbar means "God is greater," not simply "God is great," and is a koranic injunction against other religions that worship Elohim, Hashem, Allah. "
This is Mordecai's web sight:http://www.vicmord.com/
an essay of his on radical islam:http://www.apfn.net/messageboard/06-24-04/discussion.cgi.31.html

If you google him by name there are many many hits.
He apparantly has 3 books under his belt..
