Both expressions are completely skewed

From a European point of view, the phrase "I love my country" from the mouth of a US American is just as disgusting as the phrase "Allahu akba" from the mouth of a Muslim.

The last one although mispelled just means "god is great". Hardly a bad thing and not exclusive to Muslims despite the stereotype. You will hear those words at the local Coptic Christian Church too.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow the expression "God is great" is found in every religion. And there is nothing bad about it, nor is there anything wrong with it. actually. The same goes for "I love my country". It's nothing bad. something positive. Actually. But both terms are used to put yourself above others. And from this position to justify all subsequent actions. no matter what kind of actions.
and therefore both terms cause nausea.

@ragnalikessnow I do agree that some groups do use those expressions to imply superiority and supremacy and I have no use for that nonsense.
