indiagurl011 : yay :) thanks
pinkyrocks45 : no prob! :)
Maryam : 2 problems, muslims dont worship the qur'an and two, muslims dont believe that Allah is a different god from who Christians or Jews worship, the best definition would be the arabic word for god because that's what it is
Maryam : trust me, i know
Maryam : im just some person who was searching for cards, I saw the islam cards and wanted to make sure they were right
Maryam : will you please fix the two i specified?
pinkyrocks45 : they do study the qur'an!
Maryam : they dont worship it!
Maryam : thank you for changing it
Maryam : although allah is the arabic word for god, your definition is okay
Maryam : i dont mean to sound snobby but i'm a muslim so i think i would know best
indiagurl011 : but why would you care?
indiagurl011 : this isn't your school
Maryam : it may not be my school but it's my religion
