By quoting and passing it on you are sponsoring and sup****ting
stereotypes.  The Bible teaches we are all the same.  You are being
hypocritical.  Being critical of a person's actions is far, far
different than painting a whole ethnic group with the same paint
brush.  And I do know that Allah is the Arabic name for God.

It is a compound word from the article, 'al, and ilah, divinity, and
signifies "the god" par excellence. This form of the divine name is in
itself a sure proof that ilah was at one time an appellative, common
to all the local and tribal gods. Gradually, with the addition of the
article, it was restricted to one of them who took precedence of the
others; finally, with the triumph of monotheism, He was recognized as
the only true God.

You certainly are denigrating people when you publish the rubbish you
did.

I think Jesus would have praised the Muslim religion and culture.
Their basic tenets are well aligned with Christianity.
