The person who stabbed five people in Paris on Saturday night, killing one, yelled the Arabic phrase "Allahu Akbar," meaning "God is great,"

Bad translation.

"Allahu Akbar" means "Allah is the greatest".

Very dangerous.

Right you are. It infuriates me when the media - ignorantly or deliberately - mistranslates that phrase. “Allahu Akbar” implies absolute superiority, and domination.

It is in the same league as the Nazi slogans.
