Wrong prophet

Sir: James Cameron's 'Trans-Arabia' review (3 October) indicates that he does not know his subject too well. He refers to the Islamic call in his penultimate paragraph as 'God is almighty, and Allah Is His prophet', when everyone knows that 'Allah' is the Arabic word for 'God' and that the Muslims consider Mohammed to be the prophet.
