I lean toward "allowed" as well. I saw a bumper sticker on someone's car the other day that read "Everything is as Allah has willed it." I thought, Really? This mess that the world is in is God's will? I look at some of the messes of my own life and can see how my choices caused them, and how that I'm sure the good God had a better plan, but allowed me to make my own mistakes. Even still, I believe He is ultimately in control and will work all things together for good. But I do think He allows more freedom in the world than some determinists like Muslims or Calvinists allow.
