Using a different word for God when speaking in English implies a different god. I don't know who is doing this encouraging, but it is a very negative development.  This is quite different from saying Salaam for peace because salaam does not imply a different peace.

Dropping in a phrase in Arabic using Allah when speaking English is fine:  Inshallah is a particularly useful one.  This is like using a Latin phrase that has gained currency in English like "carpe diem."

Surely you see the irony that the only non-Muslim westerners who refer to the God Muslims worship as [b]Allah are virulently anti-Islamic [/b]and seek to distance Islam from their own religion by implying the god Muslims worship is not the god Christians and Jews worship and implying Muslims are not monotheistic as they are.  [b]When Muslims, speaking in English, use Allah they are similarly implying their god is not God, [/b]the monotheistic entity widely worshipped by English speaking people.  And they are encouraging the Islamaphobes by adopting their practice of using Allah instead of God.

Huh. Muslima called God "Allah" last night in her post of 10/09/2014 21:09. Does that make her virulently anti-Islam too?

Since you keep bringing it up, Jesus' message as accepted by Christians is very different from the Jesus in the Quran, the return of eye-for-eye is just one difference.
