In the midst of a ponderous and chilling tale about terrorism and political correctness, Senator Ted Cruz dropped a delightful mispronunciation of the Takbīr—the multivalent Arabic phrase, “Allāhu Akbar,” usually translated as “God is great.” Cruz went with something like...Alooha akbar? Aloha akbar?

Anyway, keep practicing! Arabic is a difficult language to learn.
