At Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins, Colorado, earlier last year a member of their “Cultural Arms Club” led the entire student body in an Arabic version of our Pledge of Allegiance, replacing the words “under God” with “under Allah.”
Principal Tom Lopez has come under fire for ´pushing an Islamic agenda´, which he denies, stating the move was to “destroy the barriers, embrace the cultures” that exist within the school.

I have no need to, I’m a Christian. However I do speak some Arabic, and in Arabic the word “God” is pronounced “Allah”. CHRISTIANS who speak Arabic refer to God as “Allah” because that’s how you say “God”. Arabic translations of the BIBLE have “Allah” in place of God. If you Google translate the word “God” into Arabic you’ll get Allah. These kids WERE saying “under God” because the genetic word for God in Arabic, is Allah.
this is so wrong! the school board needs replaced and this should be outlawed, we are AMERICANS we don’t pray to Allah!! :'(
What a disgrace to America and all Americans everywhere!
what are you people afraid of we have one god only no other man can take his place and if he thinks he can it dose not make him much of a man makes him a f**e like we are seeing in obama our king is our god
Hmmmm……and during Black History month…they recite the pledge in Ke-Swalhili…..so what’s the beef….are conservatives becoming whiny liberals too? PS….Allah, God, Yahweh, Jehovah…..what’s the diff.
See how it feels? Leave God out of the pledge so that the pledge is something all Americans can stand behind.
Stupid
It has nothing to do with the Islamic faith. Christians who speak Arabic call God “Allah” because that’s just the generic translation of God. If you were a missionary and learned Arabic to preach in the middle east, you’d use “Allah” too because that’s just the translation of “God”. =)
Why do the students go along with this?? I would have my kids inform me and I would give that school a part of my mind.
Well then, what about the false prophet Muhammad? The Koran ‘s creator? When did the name “Allah” start to be used by mankind…after MUHAMMAD named him ALLAH? Did you know that Jesus Christs death was approx 500 years before the false prophet MUHAMMAD was born? Do you know what the crescent moon and star represent? I do.
