"Allah" is merely the Arabic word for God.
The Aramaic word (like Arabic) Jesus spoke for "God" sounded much the same.
(Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani - - Eloi is the genitive form of El'lah)
The Christian minority in the Arab world uses the same word.
The Arabic Bible uses that word for God.
The problem is not with God/Allah/El'lah, Who is compassionate and merciful.
The problem is with those who would seek to hate and kill in His Name.
FBI scours car of doctor (anthrax update)
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review ^ | August 8, 2004 | Karen Roebuck
More than a dozen FBI agents investigating the 2001 anthrax attacks descended on Connellsville (PA) Airport Saturday to comb through a UPMC-McKeesport doctor's car. Agents vacuumed Dr. Kenneth M. Berry's white Mercury Sable for evidence, said Frank Sero, an employee at Connellsville Airport, Fayette County.
He did not know what the agents were seeking, or what they took from the car. Forensic investigators frequently use vacuums to collect fibers, hair samples and other trace evidence.
"I can confirm that we did conduct a search of a vehicle at the Connellsville Airport," said Special Agent Jeff Killeen, of the Pittsburgh field office. "The search was in connection with the fall 2001 anthrax mailings. There was no threat to the public health or public safety from this search."

And the muslim "god" is NOT the same God worshipped by Christians, so please do not place any of your propaganda on this board in an attempt to sway any that don't know better.
And please don't tell me you are a Christian who is just "studying" islam because that will not wash.

Don't take offense or be defensive, but are you by any chance a muslim?
Nope.
If that were true, my møøselimb co-worker wouldn't have stridently, strenuously and publicly objected to me putting a "God Bless America" sign in my cubicle on 9/12/01, now would he???
I beg to differ...The problem is not with ___/Allah/El'lah, Who is compassionate and merciful.
The problem is with those who would seek to hate and kill in His Name.

This fact answers the questions, "Why is Allah never defined in the Qur'an? Why did Muhammad assume that the pagan Arabs already knew who Allah was?" Muhammad was raised in the religion of the Moon-god Allah. But he went one step further than his fellow pagan Arabs. While they believed that Allah, i.e. the Moon-god, was the greatest of all gods and the supreme deity in a pantheon of deities, Muhammad decided that Allah was not only the greatest god but the only god.
GOD and allah are not he same.
"Allah" is merely the Arabic word for God.
The Aramaic word (like Arabic) Jesus spoke for "God" sounded much the same.

allah is the Arabic word for moon god...Archeologists have uncovered temples to the Moon-god throughout the Middle East. From the mountains of Turkey to the banks of the Nile, the most wide-spread religion of the ancient world was the worship of the Moon-god
The muslim say they beleive in the GOD of the Jews and Christain. Then why if they are the same, would mohammad not be mention in either one.
Christians also refer to God as Abba. I always wondered where this came from.
