Does anyone know if "Allah Akbar" is kind of like OMG in English?

Perhaps it is in Arabic; but the language of Bosnia is Serbo-Croatian, which is nothing like Arabic.

Actually, I was asking about Arabic.
I live in MI.

The language of Bosnia may be Serbo-Croatian, but remember Arabic is the holy language of Islam everywhere - as Hebrew is the holy language of Judaism everywhere and Latin had been the holy language of Catholicism everywhere. The devout of any of these religions would know and use prays and expressions in their holy language.

As for "Allah Akbar" being equivalent to OMG - we have to admit one BIG difference: When was the last time someone yelled OMG as they were flying planes into buildings, chopping off heads, blowing up school children OR using any of the many ways of slaughtering innocent men women and children that Jihadis seem to see as a holy sacrament.

The phrase is common to TROP all over the world regardless of their particular vernacular.
