Are you angry enough to look for truth? Try Google, for the first obvious thing. It’s out there, and Arabic Christians know it.

The term is linguistically cognate to the Hebrew ‘El which is also a term for deity. News flash: Islam wasn’t even on the scene when Christianity came to Arabs speaking Arabic. Missionaries used the same term that Jewish Arabs were using in their Arabic translations.

Methinks way too much is being made of the claim that the term Allah was invented (rather than stolen) by Islam.

Didn’t make the claim, not doing your homework, sorry. I merely asked for a link.

Don’t confuse the issue either. I have essentially agreed with your second paragraph already. I’ll copypaste it below for reference.

Does your last sentence reference the word “Allah”? If not, then we are in complete agreement here, which I have already stated and you seem to have missed.
