Arabic-speaking Catholics have been praying to Allah for years (likely centuries)... Allah is the Arabic word for God.

Too bad the Muslims hijacked it... and also too bad that Malaysian Muslims are too stoopid to distinguish between Catholic and Muslim literature.

I still don’t buy that the “arabic” concept for God matches the traits of Jehovah

I cannot consider Jehovah (and other ancient terms for Abraham’s God) and “allah” one and the same entity

Yes like the word gay being hijacked by the homosexuals, so Allah was co-opted by the Islamists as the name for their false god.

The word “Allah” now is the accepted term in general usage for that false god.

It should not be used to refer to the One Living God imo.

Their "god" is quite different from the Christian God.
