[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of them is when people think they're being PC and saying it doesn't matter if you pray to God or Allah or whoever you believe in. Allah = Arabic for God. I truly believe lots of celebrities who say this WANT to set Islam apart in a negative way -- in a -- oh we respect Muslims, they just pray to some other foreign God. Um no -- they pray to the same God as Christians and Jews.[/quote] +1 Saying Allah in English to refer to the god Muslims worship is stylistically incorrect, theologically suspect, and a subtle undermining of Islam. Someone on the Ebola thread got exercised about posters referring to Medcins Sans Frontiers instead of Doctors Without Border when writing in English. Using Allah instead of God is a much worse offense. [/quote]
