I forgot to say!

Reader comment on item: A Saudi Prince's Threat to the Obama Administration
in response to reader comment: A Very Concerned Reader: Does the word Allah mean God or is it the proper name of the God of Islam?

Dhimmi No More, I forgot to say that, apart from being very right in your analysis of the word "Allah" and its origin, they also reject the "God" word! If you say "god", they always and immediately correct you and say that Allah is the only "god", and that's his name. So you are very right: If that is his name and cannot even be called "god", the shahada falls apart as well by itself!

This is so interesting! Yes, Mr Khattab did something right in the end! ;)
