You said, "Actually what they are yelling is 'God is greater'."
Where did you get that? I was wondering, because I had heard that they are actually yelling "Allah is greater". And as far as I know, they are not saying literally "God" -- but rather -- the *NAME* of their god -- which is Allah.
So, the way to see this comment is that they are actually saying (in terms of its meaning) -- "Our god, who is named Allah, is greater than your god, and all other gods."
That's a long way of saying it, but -- as I understand -- this is the general meaning of it.
Let me know where you found out your information. I'm just curious about that.

I have heard Micheal Medved say it for years and not one soul has called him on it. I think what you wrote is correct, if you want more info, write me back.
With a little Biblical research, you just might discover that the Arabs, Jews and Christians are all descendants of Abraham, who worshipped the one God, Jehovah, Yahweh, Yehowah, YHWH, or, as the Muslims call Him, Allah!
Just because in their language the name is different from what we are used to doesn't make Him a false God.
Rather, my disagreement with them is over how they have interpreted His Word.
