Today's free tip from a Muslim: we generally don't write it as "allah akbar." Antisemites who don't have Muslim friends who want to terrorize Jewish people might though, wallahualam.
@cendawanita Israelis write it as Allah hu akbar; Hebrew and Arabic are both zero-copula in the present, and both use third-person pronouns as optional copulas in complex sentences, so Israelis hear Allahu akbar and reanalyze it as Allah hu akbar.
