Hey, Pete!!

"A Roman Catholic Bishop in the Netherlands has proposed people of all
faiths refer to God as Allah to foster understanding, stoking an
already heated debate on religious tolerance in a country with one
million Muslims."

You ready to move to the US yet, before Europe goes up in flames?

But, let's remember, we're talking about only the BAD Muslims, not Tom
Anderson's buddies, the GOOD Muslims.

Maybe they'll behead Tom last, out of respect.

As Pete, like myself, is white, the prospect of "moving" to the USA to
become one of an ever decreasing white ethnic minority is daunting.

Have a great weekend Cohen - you know I intend to! ;o)

religious fanatics first ;-)

Although I have seen this phrase written as you have, I think Allah Hu
Akbar is a representation in English. Hebrew and Arabic, both being
members of the same language family, share some syntax, grammatical
constructs, and the like. My assumptions are based on my pretty good
knowledge of Hebrew and my piddling knowledge of Arabic. The literal
translation would be God (Allah), He (Hu) Is (the present tense of the
verb "to be" is assumed and therefore not written), Akbar (Great) - so,
"God, He Is Great." The use of "God, He" features the not strictly
necessary "He" for emphasis. One can do something similar, although not
really the same, in English, e.g., "John is a good man" could be said,
"John, he's a good man." The effect is similar but the construct is
more common in Hebrew than in English (and I believe it's more common in
Arabic, too.)

Just my semi-educated opinion.

Oh yeah, come here to Jew York where the Israeli Lobby rules

Gotta love Ironic humor. ;-)

It is, unfortunately, all too true.

Hey, this country was founded by religious fanatics for religious
fanatics, and all of them came from Europe...now you'll finally see
how the Native Americans felt! Pretty soon the Muslims will have you
guys on reservations selling quaint handicrafts....

I still remember my elementary school teachers nagging us not to say
things like "my mom, she", "my brother, he", etc., so it must have
been a pretty common usage at the time (1960s). It's very common in
French. "L'etat, c'est moi"...

The literal meaning is pretty irrelevant, anyway, since it's basically
a mantra, like "om mani padme hum" or "in nomine patris et filii et
spiritus sancti."

You could always mate outside your ethnicity. For example, although
I'm Jewish Chinese, I married a Russian woman.

May I also suggest "considering" (i.e. with a hue of compulsory) the
day of September 12:

And since when has relevance mattered here?

Which translates to "you kill Barzini, you kill Tattaglia, we'll take care of Tessio, here".
