Hey, Malaysia: Allah, Allah, Allah
Yeah, I wrote it: Allah.
Now what?
No confusion here. Christians use "God" to refer to the supreme diety. Muslims prefer "Allah". I haven't been to seminary. Though I have read parts of each I haven't read either the Bible or Koran (hope that's close enough to this weeks preferred spelling that there is no confusion as to what tome I am referring)cover to cover I'm still quite clear on the difference. Which if one is aware of the history is really a difference more of syntax or perspective rather than substance.
Allah.
Oops, I did it again. Still no Muslims here though.
Allah.
If one's god is so fragile and inconsequential that the simple act of a non-believer uttering the name of that god threatens his supremacy then that isn't much of a god after all, is it? Since by definition gods cannot generally be so weak, the true problem must be a matter of personal insecurity on the part of those who go out of their way to find insult where none is intended, given, or even remotely to be found.
Please feel free, Malaysia, to clear the confusion this post has no doubt sown all across the internet.
Allah.
