Your santimonious assertions are your own personal views, and are not shared by all Christians.

Oliver,

Your CHOSEN sectarian biased only undermine the logic of your argument. There is nothing ore to say to you. Your argument that "Allah is a false god" is simply based on your own ridiculous level of confirmation bias coupled with sanctimonious attitudes about what your believe constitutes "correct" faith. You espouse such beliefs primarily due to your hostility towards Islam, rather than a real understanding of the development of religions- broadly defined- in the region in general.

Your accusation that "Allah" is a false god, and that the name should not be used by Christians is based only on a kind of post-hoc "guilt by association" fallacy asserting the name to be inherently Islamic, which is very offensive to many Arabic speaking Christians (and for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with your inflated ideas of "dhimmitude"). You argue that your views are "true", yet you really have never provided anything but quotes from Scripture, and a few highly selective quotes from a few dictionaries. Not that you would ever consult something that didn't conform to your own confirmation bias (which is yet another logical fallacy).

Suffice it to say that my friends who attends my local Arabic Church are not exactly inclined to echo your sanctimonious beliefs about what you deem to be "correct". Perhaps you should attend an Arabic-language church and learn more about the views of the congregation first hand? You might actually learn a thing or two, and sound just a little less pietistic as a result.

Since you choose to allow your sectarian biases to trump your objectivity, there's really no use in pursuing this discussion any further.
