that your god that allows the oppresion of women, whose idea of heaven has no plans for women and is for one man to sleep with 72 virgins and drink from a river of wine, whose prophet stole the childhood of a little girl by marrying her at age six and sleeping with her when she is nine, who supports female genital mutilation,who has a hand in the kidnapping of 200 and something girls in the north who has some origin in the suicide bombings of today. A religion(especially the african version) that thinks western education is evil but still patronises the use of their weapons and many more. It doesn't make sense for any woman with a brain to join that religion, i would rather be a christian or even an aetheist than join such. Christianity may not make sense to you but at least it gives me free will which differentaites me from animals. Put me at gunpoint and i wont still join. Shalom.


Lol. The bible has loads of verses that talks about oppression of women. Holy crap!! You wrote loads of meaningless jargons. You don't wanna switch to another faith but u want that person to switch to yours. You need ur head checked

OP, Its Allah not 'allah'
BTW: How many times do we have to explain that Allah means God. Its just a language thing.
You only have a canal knowledge of what ALLAH means. Don't be deceived. If it's a language thing, why do Muslims rarely mention God even when they are conversing in English.

May Allah...
May the peace of Allah...

Sometimes back in Pakistan, Christians were threatened not to ever mention the word Allah. Why?

my dear, your apprehension is of no basis. I wouldn't know why they are doing that but as a Muslim I have used the world GOD more than I have ever used the world ALLAH which simply means God in English and Chineke in Igbo.
I believe that you are a half beck Muslim or you only said that to safe face. Allah is different from God. Don't deceived us. If it's a language thing, why do Muslims rarely mention God even when they are conversing in English.

Real Muslims don't mention God when they are conversing in any language. I have listened to Muslims converse in French, English German and others. Why?

Religious weirdo. He talks as if he had any consciousness before he was born which of course he didn't. How da phuck does he think he will any consciousness when he dies? Just they want to live forever by any means possible, they will believe in unicorns if need be. What a people. Smh.

I don't blame them, when the Christian owner of Yale biscuits was asked why he used swine in spite knowing Moslems don't eat it in producing his biscuits, he said it live on radio that his biscuits are not meant for Muslim's and it's not by force they buy it.it's just that Christians don't have the ability,if they have the capacity to hurt Muslim's they will do it instantly with no second thought.

He is talking as if he has undisputable proof. Lol. Even the so called God he worships gives proof of what he does but for some reason there is zero proof of the heaven he is waiting for. Or, wait a minute, have the trillions of souls who have died over the centuries been communicating with d1official? Could it be he knows something we all don't? grin grin

Ok. To the folk asking for the name of Allah.
First of all Allah DOESN'T translate to God, it simply is the name of the Muslims' God, just like Christians' Jehovah or Yaweh.
The Arabic translation of God is Illah. That's why in the declaration of faith in Islam you have it as "La illah ila Allah" meaning there's no God except Allah.
La = There's no.
[/color]ILLAH =GOD[color=#000000]
Ila = Except
Allah = Allah.
Do you now understand?
And the answer to the main question is they only censor it out when it's used in derogatory ways. For example when someone says God dammit or God forsaken. And you sabi our Yoruba movies if dem neva curse their sef e nova funny. It has nothing to do with Islam.

Calm down people, I believe there is no hidden agenda behind this.
If you carefully observe, DSTV basically mutes the name of God, when used in statements like 'Oh God!' or any other exclamation and not in statements like 'God will do ...' or 'Praise God'. I believe the former falls under the category of 'Do not use the name of the Lord your God in vain', and this is why they mute it.

This I have no issues with and actually respect them for, if this is their reason.

Why keep using Jesus in every other language and not God when you are speaking or writing in English?

Jesus is the name of the son of God, through whom we have access to the Father.


Infact it changes with language.


Jesu in Yoruba and its variant in other languages.


Please do more homework. Or rather, accept the truth.

#Allah no seem like synonym for God ooo. Be wise.

He is the son yet you proclaim him as your God. Christians worship him. You should take your own advice
