Allah does not (only) belong to Islam.

"Arabic-speaking Coptic, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Maronite, evangelical, and Reformed Christians worship Allah, which is simply the word or term for God in another language. Islam does not hold a copyright to the term. In fact, Arab Christians existed before Islam appeared on the scene. Christians who worship Allah number in the millions.

Allah is equivalent to the English God, the French Dieu, or the Spanish Dios.

Terrorists may misuse the term Allah, but they cannot rob millions of their word for God.

The apostle John said, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Allah, and the Word was Allah” (see John 1:1). We can join our Arab brothers and sisters in Christ who often say, “Allah be praised!"

You can read the article here!

And another one about Palestinian Christians who say Allahu Akbar too!

So we can conclude that we all believe in the same God, we just have our own word for it in our own language.

So all people who kill in the name of God, Allah, Dieu, Bog, ... are not true believers!
So not only the Islamic people have the word Allah, also Arab speaking Christian people!

We have more the same than different!
Why can we start to look to our similarities instead of to our differences?!

We need to support love, friendship, kindness, help each other and not kill each other or discriminate each other!

I support love!
