I thought it was really just a language thing...Why am/was I wrong to think that way.

Thanks. lol. I do not think telling you I think Islam is equaly as bad will make you like me more. I just got tired of all the hate on Islam and Muslims. I guess you could thank her for that.

What do you think I as an atheist should do in the same senerio?

Getting back to the Allaah(swt) means God question. the answer is both yes and no. to a non-Muslim Arabic speaker Allaah is the word that means "The God" to a Muslim Allaah(swt) is a specific name for one specific being. However, Arabic Christians and Jews both use Allaah(swt) in reference to "The God" mentioned in the Torah and the Bible.

Many Arabs speakers seeing that the English word God is capitalized, assume that it must be the name of the diety Christians worship. Based on that assumption Allaah(swt) and God are 2 seprate entities.

Thanks woodrow. So we would both be right?

As paradoxical as it seems that is true. but, that is because it is two different views of the same thing. to get the whole truth you need to see both sides and understand both views. Sort of like two men describing a car that is painted red on one side and blue on the other. two men looking from different sides would see a different color car, but both would be right.

You are going to get different answers from a Muslim Native Arabic speaker, a non-Muslim Native Arabic speaker, A Muslim non-Arabic speaker and a non-Muslim non-Arabic speaker.

Thats a great point. You should always consider who is seeing from a different view point of you.
