"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.

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.
