A must see! The legendary video in which a Jew rebuffs the claim of evangelicals, newly edited and now in annotations!
In the Arabic speaking lands, All Jews & Christians call God Almighty, Allaah. Allaah means Al-ilaah. It is shortened. In Arabic there is a rule of grammar called Hamza Al-Wasl, whereby words are shortened. (Too lengthy to explain in comments - email me). Al-ilaah means the One True God. So when the Islamophobes come with their hate and say "Who is Allaah"? This is what you explain to them. If they wish to listen, that is.
Even Jesus said Allah. According to an Aramaic dictionary, ( http://www.peshitta.org/lexicon/ ) the word for God in Aramaic (The language which Jesus spoke) is "Aalah", which is the exact same thing as the Arabic "Allah" since in English there are many ways to spell a foreign word (Example you can spell the Muhammad's name in 27 ways, including Muhammad and Mohamed). Just visit the link and type "God" if you don't believe me, then scroll down to "Pronunciation"
So Christians, if your god Jesus said "Allah", it means the Muslims are using the correct word for the creator!
The word Allah is better than the word God and is purer since God can be pluralised (gods) and genderised (goddess), the word Allah is more suitable for being HIS name because it CANNOT be genderised nor pluralised (in Arabic) since it is genderless and single, an example in English would be the planet Mars, it is genderless (you cannot say Marsa or whatever it would be if it could be genderised) and it is unpluralisable (you cannot say Marses), it simply wouldn't make sense to genderise or pluralise this planet, the same goes for Allah (الله) in Arabic, so in essence IT IS SUPERIOR to the word God.
Lets not forget that Arab Christians, and Jews (as is the case in this video) say Allah, and have been saying it before there were even any western Christians!
Jesus said Allah too, so if you consider yourself a serious Christian you should start saying it to follow your god Jesus. So please, open your brains a little, it's good for you.
Now to see what different prophets called God.
Abraham PBUH called him El shaddai
Moses PBUH called him Elohim (see Genesis)
Jesus PBUH called him Allah
Muhammad PBUH called him Allah
Two prophets called him Allah, and they are the most known of prophets, Muhammad and Jesus peace be upon them. Nonetheless all of these are Semitic words, so as far as I am concerned, any Semitic word for God is acceptable, but why use a European word for Allah when not a single prophet used a European word?
Also, did you notice something? All of these words for Allah begin with either EL or AL, this is because in proto-Semitic (an ancient language which all Semitic languages, such as Arabic and Hebrew, evolved from) the word for God was AL or EL, Abraham PBUH spoke proto-Semitic and he called God "El shaddai", "El" here meaning God and "shaddai" meaning mountain, so basically he called God "God of the mountain".
The Semetic languages evolved in a way that they retain the word AL/EL at the beginning of the word, but there is an additional "lah" in Arabic and an additional "lohim" in Hebrew, I hope this clarifies.
@bornbranded29 Qur'an and Jesus in Bible say same thing, Vow to those who wrote the books with their own hands and then say that this is book from Allah.

@bornbranded29 What about Gospel according to John, mark , luke and matthew. EVERYONE know that they weren't the one who wrote these books. What about their forgery. If Jesus would have said that this is word of God i would have accepted it but no messanger of God has ever claimed that New testament is word of GOd. If so why do you say that It is word of God?

@hextai111 Hey, Harry Potter is "not banned book," as you claim. Maybe you believe Harry Potter applies to Christianity. As for this book being used "as references for centuries," what are your sources for this claim? This so-called gospel calls Mary a temple virgin. Where is such a claim in any Christian writings from Polycarp, Clement or Justin Martyr (early Church fathers)? Moreover, this book is from the 2nd century and was recognized as a forgery because James was long before dead.

@bornbranded29 it's non canonical but not banned book and not considered as hearsay. it's used as references for centuries. and it's non canonical because ur priest said so, why? since those priest believed the holy ghost didnt inspire James , while according to them Holy ghost inspired new testament unknown writers, but only "According to" , meaning? there were heavy censorship in the bible by MAN

@hextai111 I am a Christian, who reads the bible every day, and this book is not canonical (not in the bible). Good try, though.

@bornbranded29 gospel of james : "And when she was 12 years old... Behold, Mary has reached the age of twelve years in the temple of the Lord. What then shall we do with her..go out and assemble the widowers of the people, and let them bring each his rod; and to whomsoever the Lord shall show a sign, his wife shall she be"
Gospel of james was not banned book and not considered as heretic book

@bornbranded29 Dude, there is no hadith against dogs like that and i ain't going hadith. Hadith are not word of God and books of hadith are not 100% correct and not even a single Muslim consider it to be idiot.

@flexpape So you don't accept the Sahih hadith? How do you then follow the Sunnah of Muhammad? How do you get instructions for prayer? Do you believe in owning a dog? If not, you must be following hadith, because hadith is where comments against dogs are found. Do you believe your women need to wear hijab? That's nowhere in the Koran, guess you must use hadith. So I guess you use hadith when it suits you, but not when it does not. Fail.

@flexpape Don't run. You specifically say "Your own bible talks about mary marrying a 90 year old man at age of 11-12 Nice work." Where in "Your own bible" does it say that Mary was 11-12 and Josephn 90, when they married. Answer: nowhere. I googled this and it's a tradition, used to try to explain Mary's PERPETUAL VIRGINITY within the Catholic tradition: to them, if Joseph was 90 he'd be too old to consumate the marriage. As for the Quran, I don't accept its religious authority.
