If the former, I have no objection. There is no other name for God in Arabic except al-Lah. Arabic speaking Christians use it, so do Arabic speaking Jews. Maronite Christians address the Virgin Mary as "Ya Oum al-Lah."<br /><br />But, if it was done in English but God was translated into Arabic, that's sloppy.<br /><br />Anyway, Muslims should be outraged at the idolatry of using the name of God that way. Further, I am waiting to hear the pledge done in French soon. Also in Spanish and three dialects of Chinese and Tagalog.Siarlys Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083839117838391267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59324506101124457.post-57295255310335416422015-03-21T13:54:49.627-07:002015-03-21T13:54:49.627-07:00Good on those students and parents who objected. ...Good on those students and parents who objected.
