Also 'Allah' just means 'God', the one true one. I don't think the angels would differentiate between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It's just humans interpreting things differently again. I can see the point extatiana's making about using 'Allah' as a differentiating tool, but I think it can also be an all-encompassing term, especially if the Islamic worldview is the default.
That was kind of what I thought. To me, Allah, God, Yahweh (which, ummm I guess we're (we being Catholics, and in deference to the tradition in Judaism of not saying/writing the name of the Lord) not really supposed to say anymore)...anyway, all the same God to me, so I've never seen it as differentiating, though I see how it could be. Human interpretation yessss.


MUHAMMAD AND GABE, BFFS, I LOVE IT!
