[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get the problem with "God bless you." In fact, if OP thinks saying "Allah" in English is a problem, then presumably she'd be OK with "God bless you" over "Allah bless you." What about "Oh my God!"? Or is the problem really that a Christian or Jew is saying this to a Muslim? Anyway, if OP thinks saying "Allah" is bad, over on the prayer thread somebody is calling God a sky fairy and hinky. [/quote] Maybe two different posters. I am the PP who thinks saying Allah in English is stylistically and theologically incorrect when speaking English. Haven't posted on the God bless you thing, but I think "God bless you" --often shortened to bless you--is the accepted social thing to say when someone sneezes in English and has nothing to do with religion, Will have to check out the prayer thread--sounds raucous![/quote]
