How is mentionimg the name Jesus getting into anyone's face?Especially because opening prayers are common in all legislative bodies, and such prayers reference that minister/rabbi/whoever's beliefs. A little respect for differing religious beliefs is what is called for, just as Christians should be respectful if a Moslem cleric is giving the prayer and refers to Allah.

"Allah" is simply the Arabic word for "God."
Arab Christians use the word "Allah" to mean God.

...just as Christians should be respectful if a Moslem cleric is giving the prayer and refers to Allah.Why?..."allah" is not my God...You're turning this around. Might as well have an opening prayer to "gaia".
