Wow…..that is ridiculous!! You have every right to be pissed about that, I would be, too!! If I was in your position and a decent compromise could not be reached, I would quit. Because honestly, who wants to work for someone who has absolutely no respect for what you do???

the coptic christians in egypt called their lord Allah …in fact their translated bible uses Allah for Lord..
Aubrey Cochran: yo audrey say that to them (Christians and Muslims do not serve the same God. Allah is Muhamed’s bastardization of a god.)

Even Jesus called ‘God’ Allahu.
He spoke ‘Aramaic’.
Allahu = ‘The God’
The word ‘God’ appears centries later when English became a language.

I am a muslim woman and I believe, the book to be the word of God! And in the book, Allah has promised that he is responsible to safeguard his words. As is written, so shall be done! Even if every copy of Koran under the sun is burnt, the book and its words will live in the heart of those who believe in the words. One man who knows it correctly is enough to revive the faith if ever it is endangered to get lost. There are thousands of muslims who have learnt Koran by heart verbatim. Rev.Jones needs to revise the purpose of his endeavor. It’s not just a book, it is the code of morality and the essence of life for those who seek wisdom. It is the compass for human values. It is the staff to a soul to tread the noble path in life. If it’s allegorical messages are being used to pursue personal agendas by terrorists or Rev. Jones, there is something wrong with their personal agendas and not the book. Islam is submission to the will of God and his goodness. I have yet to know a religion that advocates otherwise. I am a muslim by birth, have received education in a christian school and have lived a significant part of my life amongst hindus. I know polytheism as much as I understand and believe in monotheism. There are only two kinds of humans. One who are born with a meaningful purpose of life and others who need to find a meaningful purpose in life. Irrespective of faith, most humans belong to the first category. Amongst the second category, lies the devil’s workshops, all those who try to create discord and the ludicrous dramas to entertain the satan and the rest of the world. It’s difficult to ignore any disrespect to the book but as a muslim I would prefer not to react to Mr. Jones words or actions at all. Because I know that Koran says, Patient constancy is the firmness of purpose in the conduct of affairs. Rev. Jones has no firmness of purpose in his conduct of this irresponsible and unnecessary affair but muslim community can exhibit patient constancy in their faith that the book is indestructible if there is a god and their God is the God!
Written with a passion for my faith, for the god I believe in, for the sanctity of human relationships, for the nobility of the god fearing spirits and in the memory of him whom god had created in his own image and whose progeny finds it difficult to live by that image!
