I think that this has been a very informative thread so far. I want to share
with you all what really got me started wondering about it.
1. The statement made by many that "Christians and Jews pray to God, Muslims
pray to Allah"
2. The following passage that I read in a dime store novel:
The hero and heroine (British) are in a tough spot in the
Middle East. Hero: "Pray to Allah that we will get out
of this alive". Heroine (thinking) "I will not pray to
Allah but to God to whom I have prayed my whole life".
These two things made me think that the people who said/wrote them didn't
know what they were talking about. I think that statement number one should
be "Christians, Jews, and Muslims pray to God" and statement number two is
contradictory. What do you all think?
