"Where do you think the crescent moon symbol on all your islamic flags comes from?" Symbol from the ottomans, kinda stuck with islam sadly. Orginally, only colored flags was used.

Not sure where you are going with this? I have no doubts that the Arabic word Allah translates to the word God in English. I do however doubt that the Islamic god Allah and the Christian God are the same. The two are fundamentally different. The Islamic god is impersonal and requires works (even this might not be enough) to gain entrance into Heaven. The Christian God is a personal God that we can have a relationship with. And because of Jesus all can be reconciled to God and gain entrance into Heaven. Two very distinctly different Gods. As for finding a Bible translated into Arabic only means that you are an Arabic Christian. God Bless

Maltese is a Semitic language, related to Arabic, Hebrew, and the ancient Phoenician (Punic). Malta is also an overwhelmingly Catholic country, by population at least. I have heard Catholic Mass in Maltese ... and yes, the word for "God" is spelled "Alla" in Maltese. Lebanese Maronite Catholics, speaking Arabic, would also tell you that Allah = God. In fact, linguistically, a worthy argument can be made that the Latin "Deus" or Greek "Theos" are quite closely related to Jupiter = Deus Pater = Zeus ... basically the same word. Now, how different people imagine the God to be, assuming they can imagine ... that's pretty much up for grabs :) In artistic representation by Renaissance Masters, you're often looking at Zeus/Jupiter, but rather more stern than the Father God revered in classical times. Personally, I much prefer Zeus ...

Admittedly, any theological discussion is like a debate on the natural history of leprechauns, but...
Allah simply means "the Lord' - it's a title, not a name. When Mohammed spoke of 'Allah' he meant Hubal, the moon god. Even Hubal is a title, not a proper name. It means 'great chief,' as in chief of many gods; Mohammed's father was high priest of Hubal in a shrine that later became the Kaaba, honoring over 300 different gods. 'Hubal' is linguistically related to the title for the chief of the Canaanite gods - 'Baal.'
Muslims like to pretend that Allah is the same as the Judeo-Christian God (YHWH, aka Jehovah, Adonai, etc.). This is one of the lies they use to make Christians think they mean you no harm.
But think about this: If Allah truly is YHWH, then all people who worship one worship the other; and anything sacred to one is sacred to the other. So why do Muslims hate Jews and Christians so much? Look at how the Koran commands that they be treated as second-class citizens, if not simply slaughtered. The Koran teaches that it is not only acceptable to lie to Christians and Jews, but that Allah will reward you for doing so if it advances Islam. Specifically, Mohammed repeatedly advises making false peace with nonbelievers to regroup and attack by surprise later. Muslims throughout history have happily destroyed or taken over churches and synagogues, showing no respect whatsoever for the other 'people of the Book.' Christians and Jews are forbidden from any places sacred to Allah (who is supposedly the same as their god), and any non-Muslim who approaches the Kaaba will be killed.
If Muslims truly believed that Allah were the same as YHWH, they would permit Jews to enter the Kaaba to honor the 'same' god. But deep in their hearts, they know Allah is not YHWH; they hate and wish to destroy everyone who does not worship Allah (aka Hubal).

Christians have a Triune god. One God in three persons. We believe that Jesus was the Word that spoke creation into being and that His Spirit resides in those who are washed by His Precious blood.
We believe that After John the Baptist there were no more Biblical Prophets and that the only acceptable record of Gods Word is the Holy Bible.

"Allah" is a pagan moon diety from the 7th century. Where do you think the crescent moon symbol on all your arab-islamic flags originated from? Muhammad rewrote the Bible and considered his pagan moon idol to be the "one true god".

I don't think true followers of God would ever do the horrible things that have been done in the name of Allah. Translate the bible to suit your own purposes but it doesn't made them truly one and the same.
