Some thoughts:

...What would the reaction of demonrats and the press have been if a Baptist preacher asked "God and Jesus to bless this assembly?"

...If Allah is just another name for God, why does every blasted Islamic cleric have to switch to Arabic in the middle of a prayer prayed in English just for that single word?

Think about it.

Hmmmm Wonder how the Islamic cleric would respond if asked to recite the prayer ALL in English including the word God?

I have to admit I don't understand this logic. Of course they'd probably sneer and make nasty comments. And they'd be in the wrong.

Why would they be wrong? Because they have no business sneering at religious expression so long as all religions are treated equally.

And this is the same argument I am making to those who claim the Muslim cleric should not have been able to do this.
