Thank you for the flag.
Two disagreements I have with the author; using the Bible as its own dictionary confirms that the Bible says Thou Shalt Not Murder. When the distinction isn't made between killing and murdering, people suppose Christianity is about pacifism. Second complaint I have for the author: could we stop using calling Allah God? Allah is not God.
Other than that, I skimmed the article (for more detailed reading later) and thought it was very good.

I agree; a look at a good concordance or hebrew interlinear gives the correct translation. It is unfortunate that the KJV did drop the ball ocaisionally...

Actually, "Allah" has the same root (and may actually be pronounced the same, I'm thinking) as a Hebrew word for God, as written in the OT. If the false prophesy that brought about Islam used the Skandanavian-rooted word "God," it wouldn't make any difference.
