Actually, "Allah" has the same root (and may actually be pronounced the same, I'm thinking) as a Hebrew word for God, as written in the OT. If the false prophesy that brought about Islam used the Skandanavian-rooted word "God," it wouldn't make any difference.

I believe the Hebrew word signifying God's name translates as YAHWEH, which has been mistranslated as Jehovah. The Hebrews were so concerned that they not say God's name in vain that they usually just show the letters YHWH, won't even pronounce it. I don't know if that's anywhere near the Islamic roots of the word, but the Arabs and the Hebrews are brothers, as they have a common father in Abraham. At any rate, there is a big difference between YAHWEH and Allah, and it isn't just language....
