    N
    So, SASE, is that because the Muslim religion is worse and has things in it's holy text that requires adherents to do awful things?

    Or because so many Muslims are from hellholes and more easily influenced and/or the terrorists are much better at Facebook than Christians?

    You really don't think "Allah" is a borrowed word, recognized by all English speakers?

    Is it normal to translate "Allah" to "God"?

    Well the loving Christian God decimated whole cities, countries and planets. He's more of a hands-on guy, I reckon, than Allah.

    So which were you lying about? The PMs from prominent posters or these friends you are talking about now? I'm betting on both, but that's just an educated guess.

    When did he do this?

    Was it before he implemented a New Covenant with humanity, by sending his only son to suffer and die for our sins?

    Do you have any friends? I'm honestly curious. It's OK if you don't. Some people don't.

    Allah is just the Arabic word for God.

    We're all children of Abraham.

    Abortion? You sure about that one? I don't know much about Christian theology, but I'm pretty sure the OT doesn't address it directly.

    In court records, it doesn't appear that Allah is translated:

    Once, Mr. Shafi said, the agents mentioned the Boston Marathon bombing and said they believed his son had been radicalized. Mr. Shafi laughed. “I don’t think so,” he told them. “I can assure you that Adam is not violent.”

    The F.B.I. had good reason to doubt those assurances — agents had been secretly eavesdropping on Adam Shafi’s phone conversations.

    I just hope Allah doesn’t take my soul until I have at least, like, a couple gallons of blood that I’ve spilled for him,” he said in one conversation last June, according to court records. He also mused about killing American soldiers.

    Yes. Of course it is.

    Is it regularly translated in FBI transcripts, court documents, newspaper accounts, etc.?

    He has a large congregation through his (former?) TV show and whatever else he does. And you are absolutely in denial if you don't think his views are influential and common among other Southern Baptists. His beliefs and the theological bases of theses beliefs aren't unique to him.

    He is saying Leviticus is law and guys shouldn't lie with guys. The Pope wrote that homosexuality is wrong base
    "I knew you in your womb" or some stuff from the Old Testament. Not a direct restriction, but a basis for Catholic theology banning abortion.
