One Nation Under Allah
What of the separation of Mosque and State?

Quote:
The principal at Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins, Colorado, is facing a hailstorm of criticism from some very angry parents and residents.
The school recites the Pledge of Allegiance weekly, on Mondays. Last Monday, a member of their “Cultural Arms Club” led the student body in an Arabic version of the pledge, replacing the words “under God” with “under Allah.”


Principal Lopez doesn’t make any sense. Speaking unintelligible words in Arabic in some way accentuates their meaning? That is an extremely weak argument in defense of an ill-advised decision.


He said the cultural clubs seeks to “destroy the barriers, embrace the cultures” that exist within the high school.


That would translate into “destroy the barriers to Islam and embrace it,” correct, Mr. Lopez?

There would be an additional problem,,, Allah is just one name of God in arabic, there are 99 names of God in arabic.... but that would make it surely difficult because some names are common ones that most people have.


lol - the funny bit is that the principal is using the "ancient language words" sound much cooler reason.

Where did she graduate from?

"Under God" was NOT originally written in the Pledge. Added in 1954.

Should be removed. No religion in the pledge, or no pledge at all is my view. Church and State should not be mixed, our forefathers knew better.

If our forefathers knew better, why was the Capitol bldg used for church services until after the civil war?

This church/state thing is bullcrap twisted by liberal scotus.

I don't like the pledge in any context other than as a free expression. Forcing people to recite it, whether or not God is in it, is the issue.

One's feeling about the country should not be subject to coercive manipulation. It should be between you, your god, and your country.

To complain that 'Allah' is not 'God' seems to imply polytheism of some kind.
