[QUOTE]Originally posted by Almaz.: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Politically Incorrect: [qb] The Arabic word for God is [i]Allah[/i]. The vast majority of English-speaking Moslems use the Arabic word in English sentences. I do not question their good intentions. They rightfully love this word, and they may feel it distinguishes their religion from other religions. The persistent use by Moslems of the Arabic word to refer to God in English sentences has had a profound alienating effect on non-Moslems. To the uninitiated, it sounds like Moslems worship a deity other than God. For many, that's the end of their consideration of that religion. The word existed in Arabic before the Prophet (PBUH) was born. His father's name was [i]Abd Allah[/i] (worshiper of God). The word is used until this very day by other religions in the Arab world. One of the mottoes of the Coptic (Christian) church is [i]Allah mahabba[/i] (God is love). Saying that the Moslems worship Allah is like saying that the French worship Dieu. If someone was trying to find a simple way to alienate the masses away from Islam, or to demonize the Moslems, they could not have come up with a more ingenious idea. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yes...Political and here is the part posted on the other thread: Originally posted by Almaz.: "Allah" is the same word that Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews use for God too. If you pick up an Arabic Bible, you will see the word "Allah" being used where "God" is used in English. This is because "Allah" is the only word in the Arabic language equivalent to the English word "God" with a capital "G". [/QB][/QUOTE]
