This thread is EXACTLY why I believe our children should know more about Islam. I'll be upfront - I am an atheist - but I am passionate about my boys being as aware of Islam as most Australians of my age are about Christianity. C-Q nothing against you - I would have probably made a similar joke - but I do know intellectually that Muslims do not mock Allah, so logically know a comment like yours could offend. But I wouldn't have "put two and two together" IYKWIM? I would have no doubt inadvertently offended also. And I find that sad, because as humans we have enough going against us at the moment without ignorance (and I mean that in the dictionary, not judgemental, sense) further adding to our dramas (C-Q again, not directed at you but at people generally )

So I think the moral of the story is that we should all try to learn a little more about Islam. Thanks, C-Q and others, for discussing this topic in such an enlightened manner.
