Umph…Who’s upset by the Allah’s allegiance?

[OddBeMe]

It’s ok. But they are the same god. So not really a big deal right?

It’s a travesty, and should be a crime

Why would I care?

What is there to be upset about? Allah is just the Arabic word for God. An Arab speaking Christian, Jew or pagan, even an atheist says "Allah" as that is the correct Arabic word to use.

It just shows how snowflake and uneducated Americans are, that any deviation from a norm sends fuckwits into a tailspin.

Say "Allah" instead of "God"? Muslims are taking over!

Don't like bacon? American culture is being disrespected!

Stay and look in someone's window a second too long? Stand your ground and shoot the bastard full of holes!

It's no wonder you're imploding as an empire and society.

Hey wena! Allah is a false God who is a fiction of a dead man's imagination. Allah is not God, the creator of the universe. The God of Israel, who is also the God and Father of our lord and Savior Jesus Christ who gave his only son John 3 vs 16 is the only God.

If that is where here allegiance stands than I say let her put whatever god she wants.

They are not the same god, but everyone has the right to believe what they want. God doesn't force Himself on anyone so why should we. God asked us to share the "Good News" not force it on people.

If we become a nation that forces people to believe in a specific way we loose what it means to be The United States of America.

Not I. I don't even know of their existence.

Just cut right through the bullshit. Some of us like arguing about billshit. Lol

[strateguy632]

since this is in English must say the English word god, which would include according to muslims alla, but in English saying alla is misleading and not English.

[OddBeMe]

Yeah I take the Hegelian or “memeified” philosophical approach of “if it’s popular it’s law”. Lol. Allah is by pure usage the word for the Muslim god, said by American Muslims in English.

But it’s the same god, at least in the only texts they’re in.

Freedom of expression and religion is what built the USA , moment you crush that , then the problems occur.

Of course usint foregin words for god like that could be seen as upsetting. Try using the Spanish word for black in an otherwise English sentence about black people and even more people will get upset.

Why does the preference for one imaginary creature over another make the slightest bit of difference to me?

They are no more the same than the JW's Jesus is the same as the Jesus of Christianity.

The pledge shouldn't even exist, it's too nationalistic.
