While I agree with you basic point, there is one thing I disagree with. From talking to Iraqi Christians, I found that their community did not have any problem with the Allah Akbar phrase in any way as the phrase works well for all Semitic religions. If Saddam has added the same phrase that is on the Saudi Flag that would have been a matter.
