“God”: Based. Cool. Trad. The foundation of Western Civilization. Protected by the first amendment. Maybe we’d all be a little better of we honored him more.
“God” but in Arabic: Extremist. Scary. Woke. A corrupting influence on the global politics. Clear and present danger. We need to expunge it from our nation and the world.
Also worth noting this isn’t just a cognate with Arabic ʾIlāh (Allah) but also Hebrew ʾEloah/Elohim (which is the standard way hebrew speaking Jews refer to god in spiritual settings).

That applies to pretty much every arabic word.
Or dildos that look Arabic…
It’s not just limited to Arabic words: Arabic Numbers are scary, too…
Can’t wait to do algebra with Roman numerals.
Wow, 123456789 so scary.
Wait to they find out about Arabic numbers and start banning upvotes and downvotes
In Germany someone trolled a mayor candidate of one of the Nazi parties with that. He fell for it

The funniest part of this is they’re literally the same god.
It’s all different forms of YHWH, Judaism, Islam, Christianity.
It’s all the same god with the fanfic changed up a little.
Don’t you dare attempt to explain that to an Evangelical Christian though
I tried pointing that out to my dad and he screamed “THATS BLASPHEMY” and turned purple.
Wanna know something even funnier? Look up the word for “God” in Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke.
Jesud called God in a way similar to “Allah”.

Very true.

Even within the same religion it’s the same word; Arabic Christians and Jews use the word ‘Allah’
