God and not Allah? I didn't know they were attacked by Christians and Jews.

Christians, Jews and Muslims all believe in exactly the same god.
Soldato
How?
Christians believe Jesus is God
Jews didn't believe the above
Jesus is just a prophet in islam
Abrahamic god regardless, not 2 and not 3.
Soldato
Christians and Jews use the term God, muslims use Allah, plus the picture looks more like an insult to Jews. Charlie liberal cowards won't dare insult Allah.
Soldato
Well that picture is meant to represent God for all 3 main religions. Only muslims won't recognise it because God imagery is not allowed, neither is Prophet imagery for that matter. Didn't stop them making a poor caricature and faking an attack to sell more copies though a year ago

Wow.
Allah is the Arabic word for God. Arabic Christians refer to their God as Allah too.

No.

You learn something new everyday.
Yes.
Exception that proves the rule, this Arabic word is used in the west by non Arabic speaking muslims to refer to their god. Theres nothing in the picture to suggest islamic Allah or the Charlie building won't be standing still but the picture looks rather anti-semtic, I don't see what it has to do with Jewish illuminate... Liberals gone crazy yo

Who exactly said it was God? Was it the magazine itself or the media?
Since when does God wear a pyramid hat with an all seeing eye in the middle of it? Certainly not since that symbol has become a universal symbol for conspiracy theorists.
Why would they even think of using such controversial symbolism considering the fact that a considerable amount of people believe some sort of conspiracy surrounding those attacks?
Think of it this way, there are better ways to illustrate God, even a specific god of a specific religion. Why doesn't this one even look Muslim lol?? I don't see that illustration being any sort of depiction of any God.

It's the all seeing eye of God, that's why people are saying it's god.
Yes it's the all seeing eye of God. But that would never infer that that a figure wearing such a hat is God himself.
God himself has never ever been depicted as wearing a pyramid with an Eye of Providence on it. If they wanted to draw god they would have drawn god for goodness sake, not a guy wearing a pyramid hat lol.
The actual figure is of a person, a terrorist, wearing a pyramid hat with an Eye of Providence on it.
The actual connotation is that the person, a terrorist, wearing the hat was enlightened with some secret knowledge which is invisible to us mere mortals. Not that the person wearing the hat is god himself lol.
Don't people see how that'd be royally offensive even to any relatives of the deceased who believe in God? That guy is never supposed to be god.
In fact it's more logical to deduce that the hat is supposed to be a tin-foil hat, rather than the person wearing it being god.

If you take the "hat" off, then it's just an old man with a gun.
Exactly. It's never supposed to be god.
It's still an old man with a gun except now he's wearing a tin foil hat. The hat doesn't mean he's god.
Don
They stuck that on for a reason, to make sure folk know that they're talking about god and religion being the killer - not old men!
Obviously not in your case, I think you have a lot of learning to do everyday
