Breaking Update: Obama Replaces “Allah” with “God” in Edited Transcripts of Orlando Killer’s Calls

[RandallFlagg]

There is no logical reason to edit any of it.we should be getting exactly what was said.

For Legal reasons most importantly. There is a reason why Stenographers work in Court Rooms - to state the record EXACTLY.

 

[OldLady]

The edits just seem odd to me and pointless.

Indeed. A "translation" Should be the EXACT translation of the record. Not changed to reflect what YOU want it to say.

So put it in fuckin' Arabic, so no one understands what he said?

You're some kind of stupid. "ALLAH" means "GOD" just like "YAWEH" does. Any idiot knows the meaning of the word "ALLAH". so tell me lady, why does it need to be changed?

I'm not stupid; I'm the one who pointed out Allah means God in translation. Why is it such a big deal that they used the English version? I'm afraid you seem the idiot for getting so darned upset about it. The guy was a terrorist. The world knows it. He supported ISIS. Settle down.

 

[OldLady]

Allah: definition of Allah in Oxford dictionary (American English)
Allah
Pronunciation: /äˈlä/

/ˈalə/

The name of God among Muslims (and Arab Christians).

For the love of it all.....Not everyone on the planet speaks English. Are you daft or something?

So no translations from any language to English are valid?

Fucking Moron. It's a LEGAL TRANSLATION. you know, dumbass - BY THE DEPARTMENT OF "JUSTICE"?? It should be word for word - directly as it was spoken.

WHY? You guys are turning the stupidest stuff into political talking points. "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Words are just words. It's not an attempt to fool you if they tell you what they omitted, for chrissakes.

If it is, as you say, that "words are just words" then why the need to change it? Make up your mind here.

It equally works, Why NOT change it?

That's not the point,the propensity of this admin for lack of openness is a big concern.For a president claiming he will run the most transparent adminstration ever,they sure have redefined transparent.
It's about trust,its become impossible to trust this white house and cabinet.

To be precise, there is no 'name' for the 'One God' in Hebrew and, thus, for Christians. Instead of a noun, the term is a verb form that is mostly translated into English as 'I Am', or similar. Allah is a noun, and is the Arabic name for the 'One God'. But, Allah does not mean 'I Am' in Arabic. Some may call this a technicality, but many take this to be an important and fundamental point. Therefore, the most honest translation of 'Allah' into English is 'Allah'.

How did we know what was omitted? They TOLD us. How did we know Allah was translated to God? They TOLD us. What's not open? I don't ever remember even this much information being released during an ongoing investigation. No one is being sneaky here. I do believe that.

 

[FA_Q2]

Yes you are. The literal translation of "Allah" in Arabic is "Allah" - not God.

Allah: definition of Allah in Oxford dictionary (American English)
Allah
Pronunciation: /äˈlä/

/ˈalə/

The name of God among Muslims (and Arab Christians).

For the love of it all.....Not everyone on the planet speaks English. Are you daft or something?

This is a deflection.
Allah is not a word that needs to be translated and when done so it loses meaning. There was no reason to actually change that word to God.

The term god is ambiguous - it can refer to any god - the term Allah is SPECIFIC. It is the name of the Islamic God. Why change a term that is specific and widely understood?

"The term god is ambiguous - it can refer to any god"
Millions of Christians would beg to differ, I'm sure.

Really? So you then agree with the OP that 'translating' the word Allah means that they were changing the meaning to the Christian God?

Your posts say otherwise.

Thanks. I'm not sure why they felt it needed to be translated, either--I think most Americans recognize what "Allah" means. I guess the administration is being super sensitive to words that could trigger a negative reaction in ignorant minds. I don't think we need such kid glove treatment, but The Prof doesn't have a very high opinion of us, apparently.

What difference does it make?? All religion is ancient god worship and has no place in the modern scheme of things. This world would be so much better off without any mention of religion that it's hard to fathom.

This is a subject that really has not been adequately clarified and I think it should be. Automatically translating 'Allah' into 'God' in English can be regarded as propaganda. While the intention may be understandable, the fact is there are fundamental differences and dishonesty about that is not constructive.

Muslims define Islam
THE CRIMES OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD

Muslims are sanctified by the blood of murdered kafirs. If the prophet of Islam, Mohammed, was alive today he would be sitting on death row somewhere waiting for his execution.

What is important to understand is that none of these depraved and criminal acts are seen as crimes to Muslims, except if they are committed by someone else. They are all holy, divine acts that their own prophet indulged in and therefore they have been given the stamp of validation as the moral code to be emulated by all Muslim men. They are all Sunna [The traditional portion of Muslim law based on Muhammad’s words or acts, accepted (together with the Koran) as authoritative by Muslims].

• Molested his wife – six-year-old Baby Aisha. One of Baby Aisha’s wifely duties was to clean semen stains from the prophet’s clothes. The prophet would take a bath with Baby Aisha and ‘thigh’ with Baby Aisha, meaning she was too small to be penetrated so he would take his penis and rub it up and down her thighs and against her vagina. Being a man of ‘mercy’ he did not penetrate Baby Aisha until she was nine.

• Raped Baby Aisha when she was nine (texts have altered her age when Muslims could not explain why their prophet married and consummated the marriage with a small child. Koranic texts makes it clear that Mohammed married her when she was six years old. For a marriage to be legally deemed valid it had to be sexually consummated. The Hadith clearly proves that Mohammed was a notorious pedophile). Advocated sex with baby girls.

• Raped a retarded woman. Murdered a woman. Had sex with his dead aunt.

• Captured women and raped them. Kept women as sex slaves. Muhammad had sex with 61 women: many he raped. There is no consensual sex between a child girl and a man. There is no consensual sex between a master and his sex slave. There is no consensual sex between a woman conquered in war and her husband conqueror. All such sexual acts are rape. RAPE IS RAPE.

• Had eleven wives at one time. Sexually abused his wives. Raped his wives. Forced sex during their menstruation including Baby Aisha. Mentally abused his wives. Can you imagine taking a child (or any aged woman) and molesting with your hand/fist her menstruating vagina?

• Beheaded his enemies. 600/900 Jewish men at one massacre. Had Jewish boys as young as 13 years old beheaded after pulling down their pants and inspecting groin for pubic hair.

• Ordered the murder, torture, terrorization of Christians and Jews if they did not convert to Islam. Forced Christians and Jews from Saudi Arabia (the mass exile).

• Assassinated people for insulting him or Islam. Established totalitarian rule. Had followers and their families burnt alive in their homes for missing prayer.

• Ordered the extermination, torture and terrorization of kafirs. Instigated 60 massacres and personally participated in 27 of them.

• Owned and sold slaves. Enslaved women and children.

• Called his black slaves pug noses and compared them to Satan.

• Treated his black slaves as beasts of burden.

• Lied and cheated. Mohammed encouraged his men to lie to deceive someone in order to get what he wanted.

• Caused division and hatred. Ordered no befriending with Christians and Jews.

• Subjugated and oppressed Muslim women. Required them to cover their faces.

• Married his daughter–in–law.

• Approved prostitution.

• Encouraged the rape of women in front of their husbands.

• Recommended wife beating. Hit his wife – Baby Aisha.

• Murdered prisoners of war. Committed acts of terror.

• Advocated suicide attacks.

• Executed apostates and homosexuals.

• Beat children who didn’t pray. Abolished adoption.

• Honor killings of Muslim women and children.

• Beat alcoholics. Lied.

• Stoned adulators to death. Stoned a woman to death after she had given birth.

• Ordered thief’s hands/feet chopped off.

• Tortured a man out of greed.

• Looted and plundered.

• Preached hate for people of other religions.

• Extorted money from other religions

• Forced conversions to Islam

• Allowed his companions to execute, behead, rape and enslave.

According to the wikipedia explanation, Arab Christians use it as well.
