RE: How do Arabic speaking Christians say ‘God’?

From Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allah

Allah is the Arabic word for God (literally ‘the God’, as the initial “Al-” is the definite article).

It is used mainly by Muslims to refer to God in Islam, Arab Christians, and often, albeit not exclusively, by Bahá’ís, Arabic-speakers, Indonesian, Malaysian and Maltese Christians, and Mizrahi Jews.
