The "I don't think so" does not refer to your having or not read the Koran.
It refers to Allah, in the Islamic sense, being the creator of all we know. I don't think so, except if the name truly originates from some arabic languages to address the God of the Bible.
Anybody out there know of such origination research?

In terms of linguistic roots, their Allah is your "El elyon" or "Elohim." However, the latter terms are thought to be holdovers from the Canaanite polytheism. El was the chief god of a pantheon that included Baal as Number Two.
