These personalities must be accorded respect i.e. Moses, or Abraham, Jesus, or Muhammad, or God.I have told you many times again and again, Muslims love and respect all prophets of God from Abraham, to Moses, to David, to Jesus to Muhammad peace be upon them all. So no atheist should discredit these personalities just coz they don't believe in. They should not mock their names coz it does not concern them. Similarly a Christian should respect these personalities even if they don't believe in them. Saying " What did your Prophet Mohammed ever do to save mankind?" by that lady you quoted perhaps were derogatory. Such words should not be directed at any other religion... masukuma wrote:she has been condemned to death for asking the question - "What did your Prophet Mohammed ever do to save mankind?" after muslims made derogatory statements about her religion. accorded respect yes.. not questioned? NO! All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

NO! Many Christians today are unaware that Allah is the name of God used by Arabic-speaking Christians. Unfortunately, some Christians like kina @lonest unthinkingly say ‘Allah is not God’ yet in fact, the Arabic Bible is filled with the word Allah, from the book of Genesis and to Revelation. And Jesus Christ is referred to as "the son of Allah" in the Arabic Bibles. How, can these Christians say that Allah is an invalid name for God, yet many years before Muhammad pbuh came, the Jews and Christians in Arabia peninsula referred to God by the name Allah. And today the 10 million Arab Christians around the world call God ‘Allah’ in their Bibles, song and worship. I think this is largely due to ignorance, or arrogance or hatred or intentionally trying to deceive... Pliz let us be sincere educators

Ngalaka wrote:I remember a news story about an Asian Muslim majority Country where the Muslims objected to the use of the word “Allah” by Christians to refer to their (Christian) God! It would be an insult to Arab Christians for anyone tell them not to use this word "Allah"! We need to bridge the distance between Muslims and Christians. When we promote such thinking then we widen the gap of separation between us and you. As for those Christians who still insist that it is blasphemy to refer to God as Allah should know that Muhammad’s (pbuh) father was named Abd-Allah which I explained yesterday to mean "servant of God" many years before his son Muhammad pbuh was born, way back before he was given prophet-hood @ngalaka, can you share source of that story? It sounds like a propaganda...

Allah, Yahweh, Jehovah, Elohim, Mungu, Ngai, Dieux... What's the difference? The point is that you cannot name your child the above name unless you are in a country with extreme freedom of expression to the extent that it allows the infringement of others rights. Everyone who calls that girl will be forced to blaspheme which is undemocratic. Mark 12:29
Deuteronomy 4:16
