We all know that in the English language the main word for a religious deity is the English word "God". We get the following definition from this online dictionary link for the English word "God": http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/God "the one Supreme Being, the creator and ruler of the universe." The English word God is thus the main word all English speaking American Christians (and all other English speaking Christians for that matter) use in reference to the deity of their Christian religion. Trinitarian Christians (the majority of Christians in America and around the world today) also hold a central belief that Prophet Jesus (PBUH) is allegedly also God or a part of God in the Christian Trinity. The trinity is a whole separate issue I will not get into here, but let me just say we Muslims believe in pure monotheism (called Tawheed in Arabic) and that God is only One: http://www.almujtaba.com/en/index.php/left-menu-articles/77-principles-of-islam/260-tawheed-monotheism
With this information in mind, let us now see what the English word "God" is spelled backwards, it is "dog": may Allah (God) forgive me if it seems I'm comparing Almighty Allah to the creature of a dog, this is not my intention at all. But if we use the Christian missionaries own silly arguments this would be very damning for English speaking Christians. You want to know why that is? I could make an argument (like the silly Christian missionaries try to do with the Greek language against Almighty Allah) that since the English word "dog" is the English word "god" spelled backwards English speaking Christians must be worshipping the ancient Greek and Roman mythological guardian of hades (meaning hell in Greek and Roman mythology or pagan religion) the three headed dog creature called a Cerberus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerberus
"Cerberus (pronounced /ˈsɜrbərəs/),[1] or Kerberos, (Greek form: Κέρβερος, [ˈkerberos])[2] in Greek and Roman mythology, is a multi-headed hound (usually three-headed)[1][3][4] which guards the gates of Hades, to prevent those who have crossed the river Styx from ever escaping. Cerberus featured in many works of ancient Greek and Roman literature and in works of both ancient and modern art and architecture, although, the depiction and background surrounding Cerberus often differed across various works by different authors of the era."
Here are three illustrations of what the Cerberus, which is the guard of hades or hell in Greek and Roman mythology, is suppose to look like:
So again using the same type of asinine "logic" employed by wicked anti-Islamic Christian missionaries, I could easily claim that Greek and Roman mythology allegedly predicted the Christian religion and the English Christians use of the English word "God" and that this Cerberus is a sign that the Christians worship Satan! Because again the English word "god" spelled backwards is "dog"; so I could claim Greek and Roman mythology was allegedly predicting and implying that later English speaking Christians were demonic Satan worshippers because they allegedly follow the demonic, rabid Cerberus (three headed dog) that is suppose to dwell in hell. Something that is rabid and vicious must be from hell! Also I think anyone who has seen a dog would agree these animals are very dirty creatures that often drink out of toilets, lick themselves clean and so they thus can not be claimed to be at all angelic (as angels and holy things are pure and clean).
As for any Christians that would reply back that English speaking Muslims also uses the English word "God" in reference to Allah(SWT); I could easily refute this by stating clearly that we Muslims worship only Allah and that the Arabic word Allah can never truly be translated into any other language. Thus we (that is English speaking Muslims) only use the English word "God" when speaking with English speakers (particularly non-Muslims as they don't use the term Allah). We Muslims believe Allah (in the Arabic language of the Holy Qur'an) is the only true name of (and word for) the Creator, Sustainer, and Deity of the Universe.
Again I'm just giving this as a counter-example to show just how silly these pathetic Christian missionaries and their claims (i.e. lies) against the true religion of Islam really are.
A last interesting quote on the word or term "God" in different languages of the world. http://www.islamic-awareness.org/Quran/Sources/Allah/moongod.html
"This contrasts with the Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and English words for God, all of which descend from words that were commonly used by pagans in reference to pagan deities."
Peace be upon those who follow true guidance.
Salamu alaikum to all Muslim readers (and hello to non-Muslim readers), I just recently added a new comment to the original article I made refuting this "Christian" missionary liars false claims and I thought I would post it here as well.

I just noticed one more thing I wanted to add, in the Greek text of the corrupted New Testament (note that Prophet Jesus PBUH did not even speak or teach in the Indo-European Greek language, he spoke and taught in the Semitic language of Aramaic) the number "666" (that again all scholars and historians tell us was used in Hebrew gematria to refer to Nero Caesar or another Roman Emperor like Domitian that was the Christians enemy at the time the magic mushroom taking John of Patmos was writing "the book of Revelation" that Thomas Jefferson called incoherent nonsense like one's nightly dreams) anyway again Revelation 13:18 looks like this in the original Greek text
http://www.greekbible.com/
Revelation 13:18
*(=ωδε ἡ σοφία ἐστίν: ὁ ἔχων νοῦν ψηφισάτω τὸν ἀριθμὸν τοῦ θηρίου, ἀριθμὸς γὰρ ἀνθρώπου ἐστίν: καὶ ὁ ἀριθμὸς αὐτοῦ ἑξακόσιοι ἑξήκοντα ἕξ.
ἑξακόσιοι Means Six Hundred
ἑξήκοντα Means Sixty
ἕξ Means Six
So this is a large string of Greek characters, and what these propagandist, anti-Muslim hatemongering "Christian" missionary liars take is simply this Greek ἕξ Meaning "Six" and try to falsely claim that if you flip it around it allegedly "looks" similar to the Arabic name Allah (the Creator, God)
Allah in Arabic الله
Note this ARABIC does NOT even look anything like the Greek text from (Revelation 13:18) ἕξ meaning SIX note in the Greek text ἕξ (six) where oh Christian missionary liars/propagandists is the symbol equivalent to the Arabic letter ALIF http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%A7#Arabic
The Arabic letter ا is the first letter of the Arabic name Allah (which is 4 letters in Arabic: Alif, Lam, Lam, Ha)
Again Arabic is a cursive language that is written and read from right to left.
الله
Notice again the first Arabic letter Alif ا in the word Allah has nothing that even looks equivalent whatsoever in the Greek text ἕξ (Six) even if you flip this Greek text around like these Christian missionary blowhards want to to do try to make their flimsy, ridiculous claim to start with! Also there is nothing in the Greek text (that has to be "flipped" around to even make the stupid Christian missionary lying claim to start with) that even resembles in looks to the Arabic vowel Shadda ّ
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadda
Shadda is above the second Arabic letter Lam in the name Allah in Arabic (again Allah in Arabic is Alif, Lam, Lam, Ha). The Arabic letter Lam, ل
Here are the four Arabic letters that make up the name Allah in Arabic (Allah is the Creator)
ا ل ل ه
And since Arabic is written in a cursive style (again written and red from right to left as well) the Arabic name of the Creator/God Allah is written like this in Arabic.
الله
