Hello anti-liberal, can I just clarify one point. Allah is the arabic word for for God. Therefore anyone who worships one God is worshipping Allah. Muslim services are conducted in arabic and so they praise Allah, but arab Christians (e.g. Egyptian Coptics) also refer to Allah in their services. It's just the same as Greeks worshipping Theos, Roman Catholics (formerly) and Deus, Russians and Boq, Germans and Gott, French and Dieu, Spaniards and Dios etc. Jews, Christians and Muslims all worship the same God, though obviously in very different ways. -- The Philadelphia Talk Radio Politics and Opinion Forum

[> It is difficult to tell whom you are addressing. That is why we use specific news items, the more biased, the better, in order to attempt to focus discussion. While it is good to see some passion, try to either agree or disagree with posts or post more than a rant. We have mostly conservatives, a few liberals and some libertarians posting here. Try to focus your perspectives on specific items if you can with either facts or opinion. Gott Sei dank that you have this forum. Now use it to become informed as well. -- SurveyGuy, 11:41:58 04/30/03 Wed (pcp01422563pcs.lndsd201.pa.comcast.net/68.81.153.209)
