"Allah" is Arabic for "God." They believe that they pray to the God of Abraham and Moses. Incorrect, Allah was the "name or title of a pagan Arabian deity worshipped in Mecca before Muhammad. Muhammad's pagan father, who died before Muhammad was born, already bore the name Abd Allah slave of Allah, and his uncle was called Obeid Allah." www.answering-islam.org Just to be clear, not a snipe at you.

Was the word "God" always used for the Deity of the Bible or was it also used for pagan deities?
Is the word "God" used in all languages to refer to the Deity of the Bible?
What do Christian Arabs call the Deity of the Bible?
