This idea is given a little more credence by the fact that the Five Percenters (the "Nation of Gods and Earths"), which Muhammad seems to be associated with, use acronym word-play of this sort.

See the Nation of Gods and Earths web page for examples. One of their major statements of belief (click on the "What We Teach" link on the page above) is:

"7. That the blackman is god and his proper name is ALLAH. Arm, Leg, Leg, Arm, Head.

In addition, they seem to use acronyms like this in other contexts. Halfway down their (very long) main page, you'll see an ad for a book of poetry entitled:

"E.ternally A.llah R.ules T.hru H.er"
(edited by Queen Ebonie Earth and Earth Mecca Islam).

[I think this sect calls men "Gods" and women "Earths". Thus, "Call me God."]

There are more examples. They have their own religious names for various places, which again work by first initials. For example: A few of the names have a different origin: Mecca for Harlem, Medina for Brooklyn, Morocco for Seattle, Cream City for Milwaukee. Also, New Heaven for New Haven, a different kind of word play.

To see these in context, click on Allah's Atlas on the page I linked to in my previous post.

On yet another Five Percenter page, this one about TIME (Truth I Master Equally) and ISLAM (I Stimulate Life And Matter), I found the following, which I post out of sheer amazement, a computation of how fast they compute that God must be traveling, based on special relativity(!):

What is the Rate at which Time is Experience?

Well the faster you are travelling, the Least amount of Time you experience. This is made manifest in the relationship of Special Relativity

t' = (1 - v^2/c^2)^(1/2) t

Where t' is the amount of time you experience, v is the magnitude of the velocity you are travelling, c is the magnitude of the velocity of light, and t is the amount of time you would experience if you where stationary. For instance, when they talk about "A thousands years is but a day to the Lord?" then how fast was the Lord travelling in order for this to occur. A Thousand years is 365,000 days. Setting t = 365,000 days, t' = 1 day, c = 186,000 miles per second, we can calculate the magnitude of the velocity that the Lord was travelling. It turns out that 186,000 miles per second - 0.044 inches per second = the magnitude that the Lord was travelling in order for his Day to be equivalent to 1000 years in the stationary World. Thats 185,999.9999993 miles per second approximately.
