YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOn Easter Sunday, President Trump ended a threat against Iran with "Praise Be to Allah."

Arab Christians have used the word Allah to refer to God for over a thousand years. It's in their Bibles. It's in their churches. It always has been.
Using it as a punchline on the holiest morning of the Christian calendar says less about Islam than it does about how little we know about it.
