Since you quote me, wonder no more: Given the same set of circumstances, I would completely support such a president using the word "Allah", as I would support a duly elected Hindu president using "Lord Vishnu", a Buddhist the "Lord Buddha", a Native American "The Great Spirit", etc.

It's called tolerance and acceptance and frankly, we could use more of it in this country.
