Average Christians are unaware of the meaning of Allah, they vilify their own notion of Allah/God by damning something in their ethnocentric mind state that is falsely perceived as the antithesis of their beliefs! On the contrary, I've never met a Muslim with the notion that the Christian God is evil, I think American Muslims are more respectful to Christianity not out of compassion, which is present in ALL people, but out of knowledge they learn in addition to their beliefs <br /><br />Best<br /><br />JonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555148914820940850.post-78062519971987162302010-01-25T10:18:58.986-05:002010-01-25T10:18:58.986-05:00I ALWAYS learn something from you!

Whereas the word Allah is a definite noun. The difference in English is almost equivalent to "The God" versus "a god." <br /><br />I hope that makes sense!Nomadic Cognition https://www.blogger.com/profile/03239575779604316708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555148914820940850.post-62426085878655435602010-01-23T20:36:07.019-05:002010-01-23T20:36:07.019-05:00I did know Allah meant God.

Is there a different word when "god" is just a noun and not <i>your</i> God (proper noun)?Soda and Candyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12935596856894830824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555148914820940850.post-47171759465815142882010-01-23T15:19:25.486-05:002010-01-23T15:19:25.486-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nomadic Cognition https://www.blogger.com/profile/03239575779604316708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555148914820940850.post-26609626947787431822010-01-23T15:19:24.739-05:002010-01-23T15:19:24.739-05:00Actually the word "Allah" [اللة] in Arab...Actually the word "Allah" [اللة] in Arabic has a much deeper meaning than "God." In Arabic majority of words come from a root word from which meanings are derived. The roots of the word "Allah" shed the following meanings on the word...<br /><br />The One who is worshiped<br />The One who amazes and overwhelms people [with His amazingness]<br />The One who is high, elevated <br />The One who is hidden <br />The One who creates <br /><br />Just another reason why I think Arabic is one of the coolest languages :)Nomadic Cognition https://www.blogger.com/profile/03239575779604316708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555148914820940850.post-78624539340408741312010-01-23T14:56:09.641-05:002010-01-23T14:56:09.641-05:00Allahu akbarAllahu akbarArtistic Logichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14784627479471195375noreply@blogger.com
