One thing thats occured to me while reading this thread, I wonder if the word Allah has crept into English.
The word 'all' certainly sounds like a shortened version of Allah, but in German its 'alle', which is actually pronouncd the same as Allah. Given that Allah could be said to be everything, and therefore 'all', there is a link in the meaning.
Peace....While there were some other points raised that I feel need addressing, this particular thread isn't the place for it, so I'll stick on topic.
In wondering if the term "allah" has crept into american english, I came across this. I don't know if his information is accurate, but I thought it was interesting enough to mention.

"Have you ever wondered what the name Tallahassee means? It means that He Allah will deliver you sometime in the future."
Like I said, I thought it was interesting enough to mention.
