'Allah' is just the Arabic word for God, so...

 

i try to argue this point with my ignorant southern brethren all the time. they dont seem to get the concept that a Christian Arab or North African will still call God "Allah" because its just the word they use. the Islamic god doesnt have a name. just the title "Allah". linguistically, it comes from the same place the Hebrew title "Elohim" comes from...

The best way to demonstrate that is to use 'Elohim'. It's just a generic Hebrew word for 'God', and although it's associated with the God of the Bible, a hypothetical Hebrew-speaking Muslim would probably use that term to refer to God. In the same way 'Allah', while associated with the god of Islam, is just a generic Arab word for 'God'. Obviously there is an association with religion, but if you're speaking Arabic it's the word you'll use.
