Interesting.

John 1New International Version (NIV)

The Word Became Flesh

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.

I get what you’re saying, but in this case, “a word” simply means writing, not necessarily “The Word”. Muslims are supposed to write allah’s name very precisely in order to not offend the deity, and ISIS’s position is that people shouldn’t be venerating the written word “allah”, but should focus on the actual deity.

I probably should have been more precise in describing the premise.
