They are discussing this at LGF too.
Does anyone know if "Allah Akbar" is kind of like OMG in English?

It's what Muslims yell when they are killing.

Allahu Akbar= God is great.
Loony tune head choppers shout it when they murder innocent people.

Does anyone know if "Allah Akbar" is kind of like OMG in English?It does sound simular. Reasonable doubt for me.

In Arabic, "Ya Allah" is probably closest to "Oh [my] God" but "Allahu akbar" (literally "God is great") can be used as a expression of surprise, much like "good God" in English.

Does anyone know if "Allah Akbar" is kind of like OMG in English? Not when it's chanted by a muzzie holding a gun or bomb.

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.
