The phrase "Allahu Akbar" has been sometimes uttered by those committing terror attacks who have stolen the phrase from those who practice Islam which loosely translated means "God is great".

What are jihad terrorists, then, if they have “stolen the phrase from those who practice Islam”? Methodists?
Media outlets routinely mangle the true meaning of “Allahu akbar,” the ubiquitous battle cry of Islamic jihadists as they commit mass murder.
The war-cry is mistranslated in the Western media as “God is great.” But the actual meaning is “Allah is greater,” meaning Allah Is Greater Than Your God or Government.
It is the aggressive declaration that Allah and Islam are dominant over every other form of government, religion, law or ethic, which is why Islamic jihadists in the midst of killing infidels so often shout it.
One primary purpose of shouting is to “strike terror in the hearts of the enemies of Allah.”
Chief 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta made this explicit in his letter to himself before carrying out his jihad mission: “When the confrontation begins, strike like champions who do not want to go back to this world. Shout, ‘Allahu Akbar,’ because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers.” This is why the Fort Hood jihad killer, Nidal Malik Hasan, shouted it as he shot thirteen Americans in November 2009, and why so many other jihadis have used it essentially as an announcement that non-Muslims are about to die.
Throughout history, Islamic jihadis have screamed “Allahu akbar” while attacking infidels.
But Tom Winter would have you believe that terrorists have “stolen the phrase from those who practice Islam.” He likely has a very fine bridge to sell you as well.
