“I thought I was doing things correctly for the sake of God.”

did she really say that she did things for the sake of God? Muslims speak of Allah, not God.

Allah is the Arabic word for God.

Christians can and should focus their energies on distinguishing the character of the Allah of the (Arabic) Bible from the Allah of the Qur’an. Theologically, when an Arabic-speaking Christian talks about Allah, there is a difference in the nature and attributes of the One to whom he is referring compared to his Arabic-speaking Muslim neighbor. Both believe in one God, and both use the same word to refer to God; however, Christians affirm trinitarian monotheism while Muslims advocate unitarian monotheism.

The situation is analogous in the English-speaking world to Christians who rightly differentiate their understanding of God from how Jews, Mormons, or Jehovah’s Witnesses (or even liberal Christians) understand God’s identity. For English speakers, we don’t use a different word to refer to God, but the nature of the One to whom we refer is different from the nature of the one to whom other groups refer.

Thus, Christians can and indeed should use “Allah” when speaking in Arabic to refer to the God of the Bible. In general, we shouldn’t refer to God as “Allah” in majority English-speaking contexts, since Christians and others would understand this as a direct reference to the god of Islam. However, if we’re speaking in Arabic, we must work hard to make our audience understand that the Allah we’re referring to is revealed to us pre-eminently in Jesus Christ and that saving revelation of him is found solely in God’s Word, the Bible.

I have heard both ... general they US “G-d” when trying to convince kafir that there is no real difference between Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Make no mistake, muslims seldom speak without a forked tongue ...

So she is an apostate from Islam and therefore worthy of death. Inshallah!

She used the word “God” to gain sympathies of the West. She’s practicing her Islamic doctrine of deception, aka “taqiyya” to defend her sorry azz. She is well practiced in propaganda and deception. That was her value to ISIS. She will continue to use her skills against the United States if she returns a free woman. In jail she will attempt to recruit inmates. That is why, historically, traitors were put to death.
