...witnesses had reported that the attacker had shouted "Allahu Akbar!", the Arabic phrase meaning "God is Great!"

Perpetuating a myth? It is said an Arabic translation of the phrase renders: "Our God is greater than your God!"

Check. akbar means greatest. allah was one of many in mecca at the time. chosen for whatever atributes, but elevated to the one “true” by the shopkeeper and his followers.

Quoting W. Churchill:

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism (Islam) lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.”

Islam is a political movement disguised as a religion.
