She may mock him but the guy has 42 kids. He must be doing something at least technically correct.

Actually the word 'allah' is/can be interpreted as a basterized version of the phrase 'the god', a generic phrase used by the peoples in and around Mekka when Mohammed tried to unify the tribe bickering with each other. The phrase was used to signify 'the god' that any particular family or tribe ascribed as the central diety for their pantheon. Note: the family ruling Saudi Arabia is 'the Saud' or al Saud.
