Does God have a gender?

Looking for the old results?
In the Holy Bible, God is always referred to in the masculine singular, with a capital letter - He. In the religion Islam, there is no feminine for Allah, their word for God. Does this mean that God is male? Or is it male-dominated human society which has created this datum? Would God be angry to be called "She"? Give your opinions here.
