That would be "allahu akbar!" or "God is Great" in Arabic...
Does Holiday Inn have that many Muslim customers?

I know that I went to college with a bunch of saudi's... it was just very ODD that they replaced a commone statement containing the word GOD with ACKBAR?

I was watching The Factor but I didn't see it. Why would a Holiday Inn commercial mention religion?

Anyway, watch for yourselves and decide the meaning on your own. I just thought it was ODD considering.... it all.

Holiday Inn is a franchise operation and may have a large muslim ownership of franchises. Just a guess, but this may be a token nod to that segment of their franchisees. A key.

On the holiday inn website they have all their current commercials.
One with akbar is not among them....
