The word AllÄh (Ø£ÙÙÙ) is derived from a contraction of the Arabic words al- (the) and ʾilÄh (deity, masculine form) — al-ilÄh meaning "the god". Cognates of the name "AllÄh" exist in other Semitic languages, including Hebrew and Aramaic.
Both Muslim and non-Muslim scholars often translate "AllÄh" directly into English as "God"; and Arabic-speaking Jews and Christians refer to AllÄh as God. However, some Muslim scholars feel that "AllÄh" should not be translated, because they perceive the Arabic word to express the uniqueness of "AllÄh" more accurately than the word "god", which can take a plural "gods", whereas the word "AllÄh" has no plural form. This is a significant issue in translation of the Qur'an.
Centuries before the time of Muhammad, the word "AllÄh" was used by Jews (they also used the cognant ElÅah) and pagan tribes in the Arabian peninsula to signify the chief deity.[citation needed]
Along with AllÄh, the pre-Islamic Arabs believed in a host of other terms to signify gods, such as Hubal and al-LÄt, al-`Uzzah, and Manah.[3] Pre-Islamic Jews referred to their supreme creator as Yahweh or Elohim. This view of AllÄh by the pre-Islamic pagans is viewed by Muslims as a later development having arisen as a result of moving away from Abrahamic monotheism over time since the building of the Kaaba. In the Qur'an, Muhammad orally transmits a rebuttal to this common belief at the time in the verse "17:40 Has then your Lord (O Pagans!) preferred for you sons, and taken for Himself daughters among the angels? Truly ye utter a most dreadful saying!". Secular historians, meanwhile, have postulated that monotheism is the result of an evolution from henotheism, the belief in a supreme deity as well as various lesser divinities. (See Judaism.) The pagan Arabians also used the word "AllÄh" in the names of their children; Muhammad's father, who was born into pagan society, was named "`AbdullÄh", which translates "servant of AllÄh". "`AbdullÄh" is still used for names of Muslim and non-Muslims (e.g. Christians also used the word, as testified by the Zabad inscription). "AbdullÄh" was also the name of the father of Maimon, whose son Moses is the Jewish principal Rabbi commonly known in English as Maimonides. Maimonides himself wrote his works mostly in Arabic on which his name appear as "Mussa bin Maimun ibn Abdullah al-Kurtubi" ( Ù

I thought Allah was just a name given to their one true 'God' by certain faiths.
Maybe Allah is the same as the jewish / christian God, but not necessarily, and why bother discussing it??, no-human can say whether Allah=God=Yaweh=Zeus=Buddah=Amon=etc
I insist i don't know = therefore i'm agnostic.
Do you know?

Allah is the false god that Muslims worship. Islam is a religion of hate, their Koran tells them to kill all infidels.
