There you go again ~ I just informed you that ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS who speak Arabic use the word "Allah" to refer to God ~ the same God as you and I and Orthodox Jews.
How about that ~ what the non-Christians do is their own business.

"There you go again ~ I just informed you that ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS who speak Arabic use the word "Allah" to refer to God ~ the same God as you and I and Orthodox Jews."
I should think it was blindingly obvious that in a thread discussing Islam that a reference to Allah referred to Mohammad's Allah, not Yahweh. That would require (1) reading skills and (2) ability to stay on topic.
"How about that ~ what the non-Christians do is their own business."
The Allah of the Koran is Satan. How about that? Going to debate that? Going to claim that I blaspheme? Do you have ANY point here?
To: EnochPowellWasRight
YOu misstated yourself and were overbroad in your claim concerning the word "Allah".
You've had quite enough time to practice upon this so that you do not make that mistake.

"YOu misstated yourself and were overbroad in your claim concerning the word "Allah"."
Utterly ridiculous. This is a thread discussing Islam. As such, a reference to "Mohammad" in this thread would ordinarily be understood by anyone paying the slightest attention to refer to the prophet of Islam, not a boxer or any of the myriad other people named "Mohammad". Same with a reference to Allah. English speakers would never refer to God as "Allah", but Islam's god is always called that in our language.
For two reasons RIGHT THERE, you have no point.
"You've had quite enough time to practice upon this so that you do not make that mistake."
Oh, do get over yourself. Perhaps when you learn the definition of "context" you can get back to me.

The ones who put the Koran in the toilet are to blame. It was really stupid. There's no way a Koran could go down the opening into the sewer. They should have taken the pages out and wiped with them instead. LOL! Oopsy, is that a hate crime? ;o)

When you misuse a word, that's the context.
The subject matter is the feigned indignation of a bunch of hypocrites at the idea flushing a Koran could be offensive.
It's not.
On the other hand, theirs and your misuse of the word "Allah" is offensive. You I can get to; those schmucks I can't, so you'll have to be their stand in.

I swear I am so tempted to go to the local University and put a bible in the toilet just to see what DOESN'T happen... I am quite sure no one will have noticed at all... probably has been done.
No one cared when Marilyn Manson urinated on it during a concert... lets see him to that to the Koran and get away with it. I just don't understand.

Oh, please. I did not. Allah most clearly referred to Mohammad's god. Calling their god by the name generally used in ENGLISH (Allah) is not a misuse of the word.
"On the other hand, theirs and your misuse of the word "Allah" is offensive. "
So, Muslims misuse the word "allah" when they talk about their "Allah"? You have issues, sonny. I will NOT stop speaking out against Islam, Mohammad, and Mohammad's god.
I do not care what you think on the matter.
To: EnochPowellWasRight
Just make sure you do not speak out against Christianity while doing so ~ which, unfortunately, you did in this thread.
It's that sloppy thinking Franklin Graham spreads around that's ruined your ability to speak clearly. You'll never see John Hagee make that mistake.

In the space of a month there have been two separate incidents where a Koran, the Muslim holy book, was found in a Pace University toilet.I can't think of a better place to put it.
"This is no different from placing a burning cross in front of a house or painting a swastika on a locker," said Aliya Latif of the Muslim-American Lawyers Association.
....or saying that Israel should be wiped off the map.
I would say that the university has kind of done a 180 and is definitely working with us in terms of labeling it as a hate crime
The Koran is the playbook of hate crimes.
The Muslim Students Association said the fact that these incidents happened here on campus has made some fear for their safety.
Too funny. I guarantee that their 'fears' don't encompass severed heads. Nameably theirs.

"Just make sure you do not speak out against Christianity while doing so ~ which, unfortunately, you did in this thread."
I did NOTHING OF THE SORT. Just what word would pass muster with you to refer to Mohammad's god? Do you not know the eytmology of "allah"? "Allah" (possibly Illah - there are many variations) was originally the name of the pagan moon god deity (among others) worshiped in Mecca before Mohammad. That it later became the word for "god" in Arabic doesn't change that.
How on Earth could a mention of "Allah" in a thread referring to Muslims and the Koran POSSIBLY be seen as "speaking out against Christianity"?
BTW, I'm no student of Franklin Graham. In fact, I've never heard him speak once in my entire life. You can take your "sloppy thinking" and recognize it for the projection it is.

A printed Bible is still just a book. We don't worship a book. There are, on the other hand, Moslems who literally worship copies of the Koran like they were little idols.
Alas, I know plenty of Christians who do that: They would be horrified at the old adage "I believe in the Father, the Son and the Holy Bible" but it is appropriate to their thinking, nonetheless.
