If they are the same then God must be schizophrenic.

There is only one GOD, the only difference between God and Allah is the language. In Arabic, Farsi and Turkish language, we call God as Allah.

Technically they are the same God as Allah is simply arabic for 'God' but the islamic view of God is somewhat different.
It is more similar to the jewish (judaic) concept of a totalitarian God who is there to be respected, obeyed and feared (which is basically the image of God as portrayed in the old testament). As christians however we should have a different view of God, the view brought to us by Jesus of a loving God and a caring father and hence we no longer have 10 'dont do this & that' style commandments but 1 big 'DO' commandment which is LOVE.
So yes it is essentially the same God but in a different perspective.

First It is Allah, Second Christian God is trinity Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit....right! Allah to muslims is the only God, the Creator....
Now Jesus didn't create the universe! he is son and son cant create father and the spirit, so it leaves father and the holy spirit.
I guess it is the question a christian should ask who created the universe the holy spirit or the father? If you further Questions ab out Islam go to Islam Q and A site or www.whyislam.org

Allah is the Arabic language word for 'god', so technically yes, but the belief structure between generic Islam and generic Christianity is different.....Islam is intended to provide a complete guide for people to live every aspect of their lives according to God's (or Allah's, if you speaka da lingo) wishes - Christianity was never a single cohesive lifestyle doctrine like that (Commandments aside)

Pick up a pencil. To you, it's a pencil. You write with it. To someone else, it's un crayon. To another guy, it's un lapiz. To a guy who's never seen it before, it could be a nose-picking device for all he knows. God is probably pretty much the same. Everyone sees him in a different way, calls him different names, and those who are unsure about Him might try to use Him to pick their noses (well, maybe not.) But they'll either try to come to grips with what He is or reject Him without understanding anything. Or use a biro instead.

There is not such thing as a Christian God and an Islamic God and a Jewish God. If your faith as a Christian is strong, you would know that there is only one God, one message but different people have different perspectives of God which is not correct.

In my personal opinion, God is God, and it is people who choose to view and worship God in different ways. That does not mean that God is different. Personally, I think all religions are just different paths to the same God.

Yes. There is one GOD. Humans always have and always will describe their own interpretation of GOD. This is how the different approaches in the way they express their worship, acknowledgment of a "supreme being" came about. God loves us all and will hear our prayers regardless of from what named religion they are expressed.

No. A lot of different religions believe different things. Christianity believes that there is only one God. And that God is GOD. Not Allah.
