Well now, here is evidence of what Ive been saying all along and that is that you cannot be religiously neutral. It just cant happen. Religion is at our very core and if we will not honor the true and living God as God, then we will fill that vacuum with a false god. Exhibit A: Rocky Mountain High School in Colorado. Outrage is building over the fact that students were encouraged to recite the Pledge of Allegiance over the loudspeaker in Arabic replacing one nation under God with one nation under Allah.
The schools principal, Tom Lopez, is standing by his decision to allow the pledge after receiving a flood of complaints from parents outraged over the incident. He claims to not be pushing and Islamic agenda.
Lopez told Fox News, These students love this country. They were not being un-American in trying to do this. They believed they were accentuating the meaning of the words as spoken regularly in English.
Danielle Clark, communications director of the Poudre School District, said We understand not everybody would agree with the students choice. Weve heard there are some who are upset.
On the other hand, she said she received one email from a person who thought it was a great thing.
Catch that? In all of those that responded, Clark got one email that thought this was a great thing! Is this action backwards or what? Parents in Colorado, Im warning you to get your children out of the public school system. This will continue to happen more and more.

أمة واحدة تحت يهوه (one nation under Jehovah)
Demented dhimmitude.
“god” (english) = “allah” (Arabic)
The term “Allah” predates Islam and was (and still is) used by Christian Arabs, including in their translations of the Bible. In ancient Arabic pagan (polytheistic) religion there was a primary god known as “Hubul” who also was at times referred to by the generic “Allah.”
That said, I’ll bet the teacher behind this little circus did not make this clear. Is this some practice of the school to recite the pledge in all the languages of the world? I’m all for teaching languages (including Arabic), but this smells strongly like a PC political manipulation.
“Allah” is not Satan. You’re getting this idea from the fact that the Koran is so screwed up it literally confuses God and Satan.
If some English-speaking fool said “God” is “Satan” it wouldn’t make the English word “God” an improper way to refer to YHWH (”I AM”).
But I guarantee, that teacher in Fort Collins is trying to obfuscate rather than clarify. I’ll bet that teacher did not know that the Arabic term Allah preceded Islam by 1,000 years.
I never said that he was. I have been arguing that "Allah" is God.
Yes, my best and most sincere understanding is the best way to say _it_, would be:
One nation under Yehovah!
Especially, if were true. Sadly, I think Obama was right when he said years ago: this is no longer a Christian nation.
Truth is that claiming to be a nation _under_ Yehovah and then living in most every way contrary to the _way_ of Him, is not being a nation under Him.
BRAVO!!! Great post!
