Not denying its more benign usage, but it is now and it was use in the very beginning of islam as a "battle cry." It is not a new development either but a radical step backwards.
Quote:
"When the confrontation begins, strike like champions who do not want to go back to this world. Shout, 'Allahu Akbar,' because this strikes fear in the hearts of the non-believers."
It has been used historically as a battle cry during war. It was first used in war by Muhammad in the Battle of Badr, the first battle in Islam.
