Let's not kid ourselves. The "Allah" worshipped by Muslims is nothing more (or less) than a powerful demon.
And most certainly NOT God.
“allah” may be Arabic for the supreme deity, but the God of the Bible is not the deity of Islam. The deity of Islam is so weak that he must have all his followers do the killing for him. The Creator God of Scripture is strong enough to take care of Himself.
Then there is the matter that the Creator God declares that Israel in general and Jerusalem in particular is His.
Just to remind the Muslims why their efforts to destroy Israel cannot succeed:
Psalms 132:13-14
(13) For the LORD hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation:
(14) ‘This is My resting-place for ever; here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
May I point out that this is a case of map vs. territory.
The name Allah has been used to refer to the One True God by Arabic-speaking Christians for at least 500 years before Mohammed came around.
I propose we not let them hijack this perfectly good word that Christians were using first.
BTW, in Malaysia and elsewhere Christians are being prosecuted in Muslim courts for using the word Allah in their services.
Here’s a quote from the Catholic Encyclopedia, 1917, well before PC was invented.
“In one form or another this Hebrew root occurs in all Semitic languages as a designation of the Divinity; but whether it was originally a proper name, pointing to a primitive monotheism, with subsequent deviation into polytheism and further rehabilitation, or was from the beginning an appellative which became a proper name only when the Semites had reached monotheism is a much debated question. It is certain, however, that before the time of Mohammed, owing to their contact with Jews and Christians, the Arabs were generally monotheists.”
