I recommend the proper name be used for “allah” — Satan.

[MeganC]

No worries, I prefer to use the word, “Satan”, when referring to the islamic deity.

Will they behead French tourists for saying “ooh-lah-lah”?

[MeganC]

30 seconds apart...not bad!

[Bryanw92]

I won’t call the muslim god Allah. I always call him by his real name, Satan.

[Norm Lenhart]

They will now behead any non muslim that uses any other word to replace it citing blasphemy.

Perfect circular muslim ‘logic’

[Cicero]

Just as well. The Christian God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is NOT Allah. The God of Israel and of Christianity should NOT be confused with the Allah of Mohammedans.

GMTA!!! LOL!

[Buddy Sorrell]

And the response from the jackasses in the State Department is....

[Fresh Wind]

Allahu fubar.

[Boogieman]

“the prohibition has been put in place by the Islamic leader because it is a “sacred word,” and should be reserved exclusively for Muslim”

Well at least they are admitting that their god is not the God of the Christians and Jews, and “Allah” is not just another name for Him.

Alla walla doodle alla day!

"The organization representing Protestant churches in Malaysia commented on the decision by saying that Christians in the country have been using the word "Allah" when referring to God for centuries, and they plan to continue to exercise their constitutional right."

Good for them.

The word "Allah" in Arabic means "God." Arabic-speaking Jews and Christians call God "Allah." In Arabic translations of the Bible, Genesis 1:1 says "In the beginning, Allah created..."

I guess they will just have to say Allah in english instead...

(smacks forhead)

Yet it is. Allah simply means "God" in Arabic. Arab Christians were calling God "Allah" before Islam existed, and they still do today.

I've seen an infinite number of claims to the contrary on FR, of course, but simply asserting something you want to believe doesn't make it true. Arab Christians are running around today routinely using the term "Allah" for God and they don't care what you think or assert.

You don't realize that "Allah" has been used by Arabic Christians since... well since virtually the beginning of Christianity. Your comment would be akin to saying Japanese Christians are talking about pagan gods because the 'kami' in "kami-sama" is their word for god and was applied to 'gods'.
