There is no Allah but Satan, and Mohammad is his pedophile.

When I was in Iraq it occurred to me they will let westerners drill a hole in the ground to get oil but you’d be hard-pressed to find a latrine at an IA forward base, unless, of course, it was dug by a westerner.

"Thank you for clarifying! You must insist of using every imaginable iteration of the name of God in vain Commandments be damned, there is the NEW COVENANT!! It is a compulsion, isn't it! You may thereby identify yourself as a bold, new Evangelical-Christy-Jew-Thing! May all books and faiths be yours as all knowledge is yours! Only you are saved, in your god-like wisdom and omniscient humility! Hooray for you glorious Christ-like one!Yea, I am sure you also speak many languages!"

Would say someone less wise than you.

I have a Brit in-law who used to work for an oil company in a mideast, Islamic country. He said as a supervisor he was forced to hire a number of the locals according to an agreement with the oil company and the local bigwigs.

But the only people who did any work were the Europeans and the (Asian) Indians. The local hired help just showed up to pick up their guaranteed paychecks and then disappear. Which might partly explain why so little is produced by so many...so many Muslims that is.

Great! Everyone in the free world should name their Dog Allah or Mohammed. We could start a website and record the testimonies of everyone in the world (like the Ice Bucket Challenge) who named their Dog allah or Mo. Gee...wonder how the musloids would respond?

Allah is a singular entity that has no son. He is unknowable. Not the God of the Bible.

“WHY DO THEY SAY NO GOD BUT ALLAH THEN?”

It is a translation of this phrase from the Koran:

“lâ ilâha illâ allâh”

The Koran contains several similar phrases. It could also be translated other ways into English such as

“there is no deity save God”.

Allah, as an Arabic title for God predates Islam. It is the title for God used by Arabic Christians.

The problem comes when Muslims want to transliterate the term for God into other languages because they believe it is God’s name. But it is self-contradictory because it uses the English title for God rather than the Arabic word.

They could as easily say “there is no Allah but Allah” or “there is no God but God”. Either of these would be more correct than trying to combine the English title for God with the Arabic title for God.

I support the freedom of expression that allows us to draw pictures of Mohammed. We should not cave to those who want to rob us of liberty and force us into submission to Islam. And getting rid of a few radical Muslim killers in the process is a good thing in my mind.

However, God’s plan through the message of Christ is superior. The job of Christians is not to provoke outrage and kill off the bad guys. It is rather to convert them.

So an artist who helps get rid of murderers is doing a good job. But a Christian missionary who risks his life and wins Muslims to the Christian faith does a better job.

Either way, I will no longer use the term Allah in an insulting way because of what I have learned. To many, such insults are heard differently than they are intended.

To say “The Devil is Allah” is heard as “the Devil is God”.

I have never heard of even the most hateful, murdering, radical Muslim saying insults about Jesus. It is against their religion also. So it is especially offensive to them when we say things insulting about Allah because it is the Arabic word for God. And doing this will only confirm in their mind the evil of the West, that America is the great Satan, and that killing us is justified.

More importantly, insulting Allah could actually be blasphemy against the one true God, even if it is not the intention of the one making such insults.

So, as I said, Allah is not God’s name, but it is His title in Arabic. We should be cautious about abusing God’s title.

“Allah is a singular entity that has no son. He is unknowable. Not the God of the Bible.”

You are accepting the Muslim view of God by saying so. Muslims acknowledge one true God. They just don’t know Him.

You are correct that the Muslim view of God is theologically incorrect.

What you are wrong about is that the one true God divided the languages, and has preserved for Himself a title in every language, and that title in Arabic is Allah.

Is the Muslim Allah the one true God. No. But what is the title of the one true God in Arabic? It is Allah. This is what Arabic Christians refer to as God.

The term “God” is English. Not everyone speaks English. The original Bible was in Greek and Hebrew. The term “God” does not appear in it anywhere. Not does the term “Jesus”. not in the original. These are translations into English.

Allah is the Arabic term for God. We do not have to convert Arabs to English speakers in order to correct their wrong theology about the one true God.

I am sure you are trying to help me in good faith, however just to save you time and effort, please go and convert the 1.2 Billion Muslims on earth who swear allegiance to Allah, the moon god of the Qaresh tribe who is a singular entity with no son who is unknowable and demands Jihad. When you convert them to your view of Allah, then I will agree with you.

Until then, I continue to agree with the Muslims that Allah is not Yahweh, just like Baal was not Yahweh (even though Baal was certainly one of the titles used for Yahweh).

“Until then, I continue to agree with the Muslims that Allah is not Yahweh,”

Stop there. Muslims do believe their One God is the same One God as Christians and Jews. That is why they do not blaspheme against our God or His Son Jesus even though they do not believe He is the Son of God and consider Him merely a prophet.

Do you think Arab Muslims need to learn English to be converted and abandon Islam? Do you know what it means for a Muslim to leave Islam?

I guess if the King James Bible was good enough for Paul the apostle then it must be good enough for those Arabs. /s

But Arab Christians were using the term “Allah” to refer to the God of the Bible, the Father of Jesus for centuries before the King James Translation (or any English translation for that matter) even existed.

So, no, you tell me what is God’s title in Arabic if it is not Allah.

Arabic was spoken all the way back to the beginning of the Christian church at Pentecost. At that time God, who divided the languages at Babel (in modern day Iraq), united the languages of all of the people present. Speakers of Arabic were among them. English speakers were not because English formed later from the Germanic languages.

Do you think all of the Christian Bibles in Arabic should be burned for blasphemously referring to Yahweh as Allah?

Do you know that the term “God” in the English language was used in reference to false gods before English speakers were Christianized?

Do you know that the original scriptures do not use the English term “God”?

Do you also demand that French quit using Dieu to refer to God, or the Spanish Dios?

Arab Christians and Jews have been referring to God as Allah for more than a thousand years.

How many Christians have you heard of being killed for their faith here in the USA? Arab Christians have been and are being slaughtered for their faith in Christ. Guess what term they use for God? Allah. Why? Because it is the only Arabic word for God.
