Muhammed is a common name (more common than Jesus, really) so no? 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". --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

There are people named "Jihad" too. I've run into people named "Attilla" also.

brestugo posted...There are people named "Jihad" too. I've run into people named "Attilla" also. Well I met these people overseas (never a soldier but worked for the US gov't). Jihad was Saudi and one Attila was from Mongolia I think, the other Attila was from Kazachstan. I was told Jihad (roughly: "struggle") is common on the Arabian peninsula (Saudi, Yemen, Oman) and other places especially among conservative Muslims. IIRC "Muhammad" is the most common name in the world. It does seem weird at first but it's all relative. Think of the name "Dolores" which means "suffering" (roughly). That's weird until you learn tradition says it's inspired by the suffering of Mary seeing Jesus on the cross. Most Americans don't think anything about the meaning of the name, just the sound. I know I didn't until lots of international travel. Other cultures really think more about the meaning. --- "Everything in the game is designed to kill you." - Hidetaka Miyazaki ...

Maybe it's actually THE Allah. You should ask then I'd like to file a few questions on the meaning of life, if possible . . . --- When was the last time you heard your boy Nas rhyme? Never on schedule but always on time ... Copied to Clipboard!
