I know that. But God is not X. It is not a question of native language but culture. I'm worried that it might completely miss the message with people of different culture. Would it refer to Allah and some people, probably many in the USA, would suspect him to be a terrorist and hate him for using publicly such reference.

I'm not of any strongly polarized culture. I'm just sensitive to respect people of different cultures. Some of them may consider reference to God as offending.

I don't want to give more importance to this than it deserve. This thread is turning Reddit like and reaches the opposite result I wished. I just wanted to draw attention to it and if some people did, than it was worth the loss of the karma points.

When people say "It is raining cats and dogs," I am afraid they will get the message that harm is coming to innocent animals. We must, for the love of dogs, stop this type of communication at once.
