I was about to say….you don’t mess with that name in any context. Guy better keep his head on a swivel.
"That name"? You do know that Allah just means "God" in Arabic, right?, and that arabic-speaking Christians, buddhists, jews, etc all use it?
Anyways, you way overestimate the Muslim world's reaction to this sort of thing. Probably because of French and Belgian cartoonists. But the people who issue fatwas (which are a pretty idiosyncratic part of Islam that vary a ton from region to region, city to city, mosque to mosque, and generation to generation), but in most all of them, the people who write them are the most highly educated in their communities. Granted that "education" can occupy a venn diagram with "indoctrination" to varying degrees, but still, these are going to be people who realize that a "cum Allah" sign isn't an attack on Allah, it's a dimwitted attempt to be clever by someone who loves Donald Trump. and is terrified about the possibility that Kamala will beat him. I can promise you that no fatwas will be issued based on that photo (and no, it's not because the hat and glasses would make him tough to ID). It's because the people who issue fatwas aren't robots.
