Yep. That's a Mohammadan name. Ar-Rahman is what Mohammad called his god at first, because the rock idol worshiping Meccans were using the name "Allah" at the time. After Mohammad slaughtered them and took over the Ka'aba, He dropped the Ar-Rahman name and used Allah.

The ABD means "slave of", ABDulrahman is a slave of Ar-Rahman, or slave of Allah. Now you know what Abdulla means.

Nice "peacefull" moderate Mohammadans living amoung us, using the wealth of our country to destroy it. They couldn't do that if they lived back in the sandbox hellhole their cult created.
