That way we would seem as a more friendly nation and wants peace.

No, they like "In God We Trust" just fine. Allah is simply the Arabic word for the one God. If you believe there is only one God, then both religions are worshiping the same deity.
And like many Christian Americans, Muslims really do believe religion and politics should mix. The official name of Iraq, under its new constitution, is the Islamic Republic of Iraq.

Why would someone put a Holy word on something that might get thrown left and right. And moreso I still do not understand why christians who claim to love God, write "God" on the ground in uni where people step.

Actually, I doubt it. We'd have to stop being simple minded fools. I don't think they care about what we say on money, but where it goes. Also, it depends on if you're talking about the Muslims that live in a peaceful society and live the way normal people live, or if you're talking about extremists that have perverted the religion beyond recognition. Christianity is also good at being twisted, if anyone remembers the crusades. So, just remember that Christians were once the terrorists, and that any religion can be used for the wrong goals. I think if we stopped randomly overthrowing governments and creating dictators (Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan were all the product of American actions). Maybe we should just learn how to deal with others. Then I think they wouldn't care what we did.

They will just find some other reason to attack. Religion is just a cover. Both sides are culpable with these issue.

I think Muslims, more accurately the Middle East as a whole, would like us more if we didn't keep replacing and/or ignoring their democratically elected leaders and if our foreign policy did not manipulate them for our own short-sighted goals. Here's an informative history of the cause and effect of over fifty years of US/Middle East foreign policy.

Doesnt much matter what we want. The middle east has always been and will always be in turmoil. What the Muslims do in their own country is their business but for the USA to change for them, just to satisfy them will never happen or we will have huge problems here. Allah is in none of our religious books so leave it that way, we dont need him as our God would whoop his a.s into eternity anyways

Most Muslims are regular people like you and me.
We invaded their land. We have been messing with Iran since 1953. We support brutal dictatorships in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
I would agree to using the word Allah instead of God since they mean the same thing to me which is simply a higher power.
