seems everyone is so upset about people who want to pray in the name of Jesus, but it is okay to pray in the name of Allah.

Because the people who pray in the name of Allah are praying to a moon god or false god. They were told that Jesus was only a prophet and not the savior. There is power in the name of Jesus. Jesus is the way the truth and the life no man cometh to the Father but except thru HIM.

I'm not sure where you get this idea. I don't think I have seen anyone who is offended by Jesus. Offended by Christians who do things in Jesus' name and claim it is "righteous", "holy", and "justified" is more the case than being offended by Jesus' name.
And most people don't care who you pray to. Prayer is a personal thing... so unless you are standing on a street corner Screaming your prayer to the world, I don't see how anyone would care.
What I find odd is that so many have this idea that people are offended by the Biblical God or Jesus... but if you look close enough, you will find that people are offended by what other people do then justify it by using those things. Then again, why isn't it ok for people to be "offended" by the Christian religion when so many Christians are offended by other religions? I don't see where anyone deserves special treatment because they believe in one God or another. Even your own Bible says your God is not a respector of people, yet many people who follow that God seem to think they are deserving of more respect than others receive.

1 Peter 1:8 "He is the stone that makes people stumble, the rock that makes them fall. They stumble because they do not believe God's word...." How can you expect the world to embrace the name Jesus - darkness cannot comprehend light. John 3:19 ".....Men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil." Phill 2:10 "By the name of JESUS, every knee shall bow in heaven, on earth and under the earth and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father." Whether they like it or not; want to believe it or not, there's coming a day when all eyes shall behold Him and men shall tremble and fear because of Him. Love, be bless.

Depends on which Jesus you speak of. Depends on which Holy Spirit is involved. Many people do things in Jesus name but is it the real Jesus. Christian is like a curse word nowadays. There were people casting out demons in Jesus name that got beat up by demons. Demons fear the name of Jesus shaking and trembling that Jesus is Lord. So, either a person doesn't know him or they do. Many new agers use the name of Jesus. Many new agers believe in a Holy Spirit. It's that there is power in his name. But, they have no relationship.

It only seems to be offensive if you use it in recognition of Jesus as God. But if you want to use it as a swear word, then most people will thing nothing of it. It either evokes love or fear in we humans because deep in our beings, we do recognize Jesus as God. It then depends upon whether we believe Jesus or choose to continue to believe the lies of his enemy.

Wow, where do you live? Here, Jesus is thrown around all the time, but mention Allah and you practically get lynched.

It' should be okay to pray in the name of anyone, it is our human right.
What ever god you believe in has given us free will.
Everyone do this in your head. Define "free will"
So why can't some one pray to whoever or whatever they want

Because if you pick on, harass, worry, torment, or otherwise bother a Christian, you will be prayed for.
Whereas you do the same to a Muslim, they will send a child to your to blow you up and then chop off innocents peoples heads after they riot, burn flags and churches.

Because it is written "at the name of Jesus-every knee shall bow, every tongue confess him--King of Glory now" You can imagine how that drives the evil one crazy.
