Look for ISIS to have their rearends handed to them. Americans have bought tons of guns and ammo over the last couple of years and are lets just say ARMED TO THE TEETH.
Meaning submission to SATAN the DEVIL.
Allah = SATAN the DEVIL.
Islam means subjugation.
Actually, "Allah" is Arabic for God. The word derives from Aloho, Aramaic for God. Allah has been used by christians in their liturgies for centuries and was taken by the Muslims. Ironically, in certain parts of the world, the Muslims are now demanding that christians abandon "Allah" from their prayers. There is no alternative word for God in Arabic.
It is already here. Read this story from Vermont —

What is it about the contents of this article that is so hard for westerners to understand? Wishful thinking?
That is why the prefernce should be to use the name YAHWEH instead, the real proper name for God, but having said that, see for me, I thought it was an invention of the Muslims. But having seen your comments, which includes a VERY GOOD explaination of the real meaning of the name of “Allah” from Eastern Christian history and present use, issues, I should back away. Thank-you and God Bless!
Not surprised.
Better to use the words “moon rock god” or “false god” ?
Allah is the personal name for Mohammed's god.
There is no alternative word for God in Arabic.
Ellah (also illah)is Arabic for god. The Shehadah makes that quite clear:
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا الله مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ الله
lā ʾilāha ʾillā-llāh
What about using “Yahweh” instead, the proper name for God? Just wondering thank-you!
What also surprises me is that once Israel took over all of the city of Jerusalem back in 1967 it did not seek to end the “status quo” laws, the layers upon layers of such that was built up over the centuries and just simply put in that the shrines would get protection from the IDF.
Yahweh, or Jehovah is basically an acronym for JHVH (Hebrew for "Existing One") which the Hebrews used in place of God's personal name, which has been lost in antiquity if it ever was known. The letters are a tetragrammaton:
Wikipedia has a good page on it:
Thank-you!
Christianity predates islam.
Instead, the word "Allah", as a lot of other words, especially words of the religious sphere, was imported from the Syriac (Aramaic) language: "alaha" - with three long a-vowels -, is the Aramaic word for the (Christian) unique God. The last (long) "a" characterizes the status absolutus in the Aramaic language and was duly omitted by the Arabs like case endings in the Arabic vernacular, whereas the understanding of the first syllable of "alaha" as an article was a common misunderstanding like for instance in "al-Iskandar" from Greek "Alexandros" etc. The doubling of the "l" is irrelevant, since the doubling sign is a very late invention of Arabic orthography, centuries after Muhammad.
The Origin of the name "Allah"
The muslims, who came later, adopted the same word. Today, christians are being punished for using a word that derives its origin from the Syriac Aramaic language spoken by Jesus.

The English word we use is "God". Suppose you were told that you could no longer use this word in prayer. You could continue to use Lord but not God. Consider the impact on your prayer life.
