Post itself says:  

A LADY IN MONTE VISTA, CO HAD THIS DOLLAR BILL. THIS IS HER STORY. YOU DON'T THINK WE'RE IN A WAR?

AFTER DINNER SHE TOOK A 1 DOLLAR BILL OUT OF HER PURSE AND DISPLAYED IT ON THE TABLE. UNDERNEATH THE WORDS "IN GOD WE TRUST" SOMEONE HAD STAMPED THE DOLLAR BILL IN RED INK--- NO GOD BUT ALLAH.


WE ASKED HER WHERE SHE HAD GOTTEN THIS DOLLAR BILL. SHE SAID IT WAS PART OF HER CHANGE IN ALAMOSA, CO. WE TOOK A PICTURE OF HER DOLLAR BILL. 


THESE ARE STARTING TO SHOW UP ALL AROUND OUR COUNTRY!


IF ANYONE TRIES TO GIVE YOU ONE OF THESE DOLLAR BILLS AS CHANGE, PLEASE REFUSE IT AND ASK THEM TO GIVE YOU A DOLLAR BILL THAT HAS NOT BEEN DEFACED.


SEND THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU CAN. GOD BLESS OUR USA! AND HE'D BETTER BLESS IT QUICKLY BEFORE WHAT WE KNOW AND LOVE IS FOREVER GONE!

My mom also re-posts and says: "Makes me sick"

I say: "Technically Allah is another name for God. Kind of like Yaweh, Lord, Father, and so on..."

Mom: "But it says NO GOD thats the part that pisses me off."

Me: "It could be someone pushing for their religion over others. Or it could be like that phrase: No God But God. Like saying there's no other gods."

Mom: "I think that's exactly it..someone pushing for their religion over others and ALLAH is a god for muslims and they have no problems killing people here in our country. So if their "GOD" allows that my doesn't so i'm still against it!"

Mom's Friend: "That's Just Wrong!"

One day I will educate my mom on the Islamic religion -of which she honestly knows nothing. I could ask her what the basic fundamental beliefs are of that religion and she would have to draw a blank. How can you assume to know anything about a religion/group of people/stereotype if you simultaneously know nothing about it? 

Personally I think if a person is posting "No God but Allah" that kind of implies they believe in God. So the argument that you hate the statement because the first two words start out by saying "No God" then you could just as easily say you the phrase "No Pain, No Gain" because the two end words are "No Gain". 

What if someone had written in red ink "No God but Yaweh" or "No God but Christ". Would that have been called an offensive attack?
