Christians call God Father as Jesus taught us to and not allah, which has hidden connotations to it.

there are over 200 names for allah and not ONE of them is LOVE! which cannot be the God of the BIible because it says God IS love!
They may say that God is allah in order for them not to get thier heads chopped off;
1 John 4:7-10
7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
The New King James Version, (Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers) 1998, c1982.
Romans 5:5
5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
The New King James Version, (Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers) 1998, c1982.
2 Corinthians 13:11
11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.
The New King James Version, (Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers) 1998, c1982.

I am afraid people are that stupid that they cannot realize that there are different languages that are viable, too. Someone said to me once, ''This is the United States of America! The whole world should speak English!''. Now, does this statement make any sense? But-------------------.

Muslims (and Islam) say Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings ....that is hypocrisy.
They reject Christ's divinity;
they reject his claim to be the Son of God;
they reject his death on the cross...
they reject His ressurrection..
They reject Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...
Need I say more...?
Don't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ .
"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

One God, but according to our beliefs we all call him by a different name.

Scholars found temples of Allah, the name of a Moon-god in the Middle-east, from the mountains of turkey to the banks of Nile, they practice worship of this moon-god...
I dont see Yahweh or Jehovah being close to the name Allah, however you translate or transliterate it.

Because they are afraid that they will be associated to Muslims.
And, indeed - what difference does it make how we call God? God is one - END OF STORY
Even Jesus (PBUH) referred to God as ALLAHA (Aramaic for God)
