    It means God is great. It is a pretty mundane term. It is also used where Americans might say oh shit or something similar.

    There was a pilot who crashed and the cockpit recorder recorded him saying Allah Akbar many times. The Arabs said that is common in situations of stress. As such, it is something to be freaked about when someone says it.
