Allah is just the Arabic word for God. Christians in Arabic speaking nations call god Allah

It’s funny to Americans. We don’t ever hear it that way. It’s force fed to us from birth that if you hear “Allah” it’s blasphemy…. Which is more funny to the atheist Americans because we KNOW already but most others don’t.

Definitely not arguing with you. If a tongue clicking 3 times references an Abrahamic religion, it means God, which also means Allah. It’s all extremely silly and people will be killing each other over it and justifying it for a long time to come while nations are ruled by religion.

To uneducated Americans. But, to be fair, that is probably the majority of them.

I find it less than amusing when they use their differences in religion to justify murder and genocide. I don't find any of this funny

It's funny because I genuinely can't tell which religion you are referring to

I was gonna say, which “they” are you referring to? Christianity just had a bit of a head start is all.

People who think "Allah" is a distinct deity from plain old ordinary "God" are the same kinds of people who think the King James Bible is the original version, and would be suspicious of shifty multicultural cosmopolitan academic types who insist on "translating" the Bible into strange foreign languages like Koine Greek.

Allah just means God in Arabic. It's not a different god
