Allah, Vishnu, Yahweh, etc are simply the word “God” in another language. For example, “Allah” is not the “muslim god”, it is the Arabic word for god. In Egypt, the Christian Egyptians refer to god as “Allah”, because they speak Arabic. </p>
<p>So I don’t think it offends non-Christians to have to use the English word “God” in an English-speaking country. Of course, everyone is free to recite the Pledge in any language they like, be it Arabic or ancient Hebrew. </p>
<p>Personally I think a better argument would be whether the words “Under God” should be in it at all, not which language god is in. But I can understand why some people are offended by it, although it doesn’t bother me. </p>
<p>Also, no offense, but some of you really need to relax. There is no need to write an 800 word essay ranting and/or insulting other people who you don’t even know online. Sure, the 1st Amendment gives you the “right”, but for godsake, chill out.</p>
