He could always explain his way out of it by saying that his belief is CONSISTENT with being a Christian, as Christians believe there is only one God.

As for the word — Allah, he can always charge it to multi-culturalism.

Allah is a word for God. In Arabic, the word means simply “the God.” It is used mainly by Muslims, Arab Christians, and often, albeit not exclusively, by Bahá’ís, Arabic-speakers, Indonesian, Malaysian and Maltese Christians, Mizrahi Jews and Sikhs.

I’m just saying that there can be lots of explanatory excuses he can make.

True enough. The word "hallelujah" is derived from that word. Sometimes you see it spelled "alleluia".

But still, in its modern incarnation, it's pretty well understood to be a reference to the god of islam.

While it may be explained as a cultural saying (for middle eastern Christians,as the Arabic word for “God”), however under Obama’s background it is morely likey to explain that he ~IS~ a Muslim (and therefore rejecting of the true nature of Christ’s resurrection)! J.S.

Sikhs, Mizrahi Jews and Maltese Christians use the word “Allah”? I knew Arabic speaking Christians were said to, but had not heard about these other groups. You’re 100% sure?
