Yeah, but in the case of Mohammed, it's a common name in their culture in general. It was before the prophet, and it remained so after him. Whereas "Allah" is literally the Arabic word for "God". (As in, Arabic-speaking Jews or Christians would likely also refer to God as "Allah".) You wouldn't find the name "Jesus" too offensive, but you'd probably think differently about someone named "God". --- http://www.facebook.com/loaocos/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAfJB3KYYDg <cite>DarkTransient posted [p:906102435] in I have a c...
