OT: ALLAHU AKBAR
The New York Times has a thoughtful Op/Ed on the difference between “God” and “Allah.” (Hint- there isn’t any.) The piece is really aimed at journalists, but there are some interesting nuggets for us all. For instance…
Christian Arabs use “Allah” for God, as do Arabic-speaking Jews. In Aramaic, the language of Jesus, God is “Allaha,” just a syllable away from Allah.
Worth a click.
(BTW, the title is a transliteration of the Arabic “God is great” or “God is greater than anything.” )
