Sxb you are so confused about this. The word you are refering to is not even GAAL. It's rather 'GAL'. You've simultaneously got the wrong meaning and spelling for that. So try it later. Similarly, the other word is also BEED, and not BEID which is from Arabic. A combination of GAL+BEED would give us a substantially different meaning than what you have brought up here.

[[Gaal is not an arabic word. :)]]

Most words used in Islamic context have a root in pre-Islamic time, alot of them arabic. ie. Jahil (ignorant) In the case of Gaal/Galla the root term is kal'laa (say no/refuse).

[[Similarly, the other word is also BEED, and not BEID which is from Arabic.]]

It's just matter of pronunciation, I doubt there is even a big difference pronouncing the two spellings you gave.

so if the other word is "beed" and not "beit" to compliment the use of the non-arabic word("gaal"), doesn't that negate your intended premise in the use of "beit" to make the claim in the first place..granted that the word "beit" is the adjective that affords the overall meaning?

perhaps your theory would make better sense if you were to say pick on the word "GaalJecel" which would literally mean.. "Kufar-lover" LOOL. istaqfurulah.. but to the well informed, they would know that the word Gaal in this instance, is derived from Geel(Camels), thus changing the meaning of GaalJecel to "Camel-Lovers"
