Allāh - originally the moon god Nanna,
Nanna is a god in Mesopotamian mythology who is the god of the moon and the son of Enlil and Ninlil. His sacred city was Ur. The name Nanna is Sumerian for "illuminator." He was named Sin in Babylonia and Assyria and was also worshipped in Harran.

ALMOST ALL GODS come from ancient Bablyon, that's why it was called Harlot, and Mother of False Religion.
Mary, the Virgin Mother came from there she was "first worshipped a few hundred years after Noah and CALLED Semiramis and Tammuz. Tammuz was sacrificed on December 25th and later worshipped under the name of Dummuzi and many other names. Semiramis was a prostitute who married Nimrod and when Nimrod died, killed (torn apart by a wild boar) she collected his body parts (while pregnant) and had them mummified (starting the legend of Isis and Orisis) and had herself declard a VIRGIN, MOTHER OF THE SUN GOD, TAMMUZ. When she sacrificed her son "sun" on Dec. 25th (thus keeping her "heavenly throne" as the mother of God, she was worshipped as the mother of the God. Tammuz's sign was a "T" or Cross.

Same page starts with this paragraphs...
Allāh is the Arabic language word referring to "God", "the Lord" and, literally according to the Qur'an, to the "God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" in the Abrahamic religions. It does not mean "a god", but rather "the Only God", the Supreme Creator of the universe, and it is the main term for the deity in Islam.
Most Arabic-speaking Muslims, Christians and Jews (including the Yemenite Jews, several Mizraḥi communities and some Sephardim) use "Allāh" as the proper noun for "God". Allāh is found in the Qur'an and in Arabic translations of both the Tanakh and the Gospels and even in the Indonesian translations of the Bible.
So what you don't understand? Or are you trying to mislead people?

That is somewhat true, the Muslim crescent and star are derived from the ancient Assyrian/Mesopotamian symbol of the goddess of love and war, Ishtar.

Because Allah is the arabic pre-islamic word for GOD. Allah SWT in islam has 99 names attributed to HIM. It's only now do people associate Allah with Islam but that's not entirely correct.
these are Allah's Names in islam
