Allah is God, just as Batihah is Watermelon, khubbas is bread, and Min Fadlak is Please. You can say that Islam has a totally mistaken view of who God is, but you can't say that Allah does not mean God, without sounding totally ignorant. Jon is absolutely correct here. Praising God in Arabic, regardless of religion, will mean praising Allah. Now, asking for yogurt in the Arab world can sound a little different, depending on what country you're in, Leban, min fadlak, wala Haleeb, min fadlak . . .

Don't need to. That's from God. But you go do your prayers to Mecca, see where that gets you.

On this, I think of it as emulating Christ. He would not pull punches on Islam, either.

I can accept that Islam was a heresy inspired by demonic forces, to prevent Christianity from spreading far and wide-- and setting it on the path to being a chauvinistic faith of Europeans. But God is still God.
