Nafees Akhtar in his letter (Reader’s Pulse, Radiance, 23 Feb-1 March) has opined everything out of context, and even two verses of the Qur’ān have been irrelevantly referred to. As a matter of principle the usage of “Allah” cannot be restricted to Muslims only. But in the present context, ‘Allah’  was being used by Christian missionaries with the intent and in the fashion of deceiving the ignorant or less-knowledgeable Muslims, so that they get confused to deem Christian literature as Islamic one, and fell unknowingly into the proselyting-net of the missionaries.
