The Arabic word for God is “Allah” whether you are A CHRISTIAN or a MUSLIM ... Inshaa Allah

"I am Arab, also, a Palestinian Christian.

 

We also say, “Allahu Akbar” which is normally associated with the Muslim faith, we also say “Inshaa Allah”,

 

“Ma Shaa Allah” and 

 

“Alhamdulillah”,

 

this is simply because ARABIC is our spoken language. 

 

The Arabic word for God” is “Allah” whether you are A CHRISTIAN or a MUSLIM. ‘

 

— Theodosius Atallah Hanna

"The women who created these dresses probably did not consider their embroidered “script” to be anything more than village tradition. How proud they would be to know that theirs is the language by  which  Palestinian and Arab culture is being defined to the public and to our children. Each time one sees the glimmer of pride in a Palestinian child’s eyes, or feel the excitement of an American audience upon viewing and discussing this little-known aspect of art history, we know that we are one step further on a long and arduous, but immensely rewarding road."
