God is Greater? by Alf Cengia
"In recent news the Church of Sweden elected Antje Jackelén as its new archbishop. The church has around 6.5 million members divided into 13 dioceses, all of which are overseen by a bishop. In turn, these bishops report to archbishop Jackelén.
Apparently, it's a tradition for bishops to choose mottos and Jackelén chose "God is Greater" as hers. If that sounds familiar (and it should), the Arabic translation of that term is Allahu Akbar. Evidence strongly suggests that this was a conscious choice."
