God is an english word referring to the All-Mighty, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth,
Dios is the spanish word, for the same diety
Allah is the arabic word for the same diety,
They are just ignorant, and will feel the fire of hell.

You can't ask an Arab because they don't know they only know what he had believe of his traditions since he was a child. Muhammad grew up worshipping many pagan gods in the Kabah including the moon, either called Hubal and Allah. After his conversion to monotheism, through the influence of Christians, Muhammad stopped worshiping the moon. The same is true for all Muslims since, down to the present day. However, the crescent moon is the universal symbol of Islam. Muslims will argue that there is no archeological evidence for the crescent moon symbol being used in Islam for the first few centuries after Muhammad. Yet Muslims also claim that Koran in its completed form existed in the time of Muhammad, yet there is no archeological evidence for this claim either. What we can be sure of, is the moon worship was more prevalent in Arabia than any other part of the world and that the symbol of the crescent moon has been used by the Arab religions as far back as the time of Abraham. It is a falsification of history to think there is no connection with the history of the crescent moon symbol of pagan moon god worship and Islam. The fact remains that most Arab/Muslim countries today still use the crescent moon symbol on their flags and atop of their mosques. The connection is so powerful that only the blind would reject any connection.

Hmm. I was unaware that "arab Christian" was different from "Christian".
Christians believe that the god invented by Muhammed was actually the pagan moon god (it's part of the history of religion that Muhammed was woefully inadequate in when he started).
It's not propaganda. It's history. Just read any UNBIASED book on religious history for the evolution from moon god to allah.
One of the main points of disagreement I have with islam is that it keeps changing the definitions of words to suit it's own ends...and then making claims based upon the redefined words. Isn't that deception?

Quit asking people that give you the answers you want. LOOK IT UP !!! The name Allah is derived from the word or name Baal. I repeat - LOOK IT UP !! Baal is the god of fertility, rain and vegetation. He was worshipped by the Canaanites along with his female consort Ashtaroth, the goddess of fertility and war. In the Old Testament, God sent Jehu to destroy Baalism because it was 'a vile and wicked' religion involving cult prostitution and child sacrifice. The arab word for God, my a s s ! You people will believe anything, particularly when it says what you want it to say. Feel free to look up these TRUTHS, if you want to find out for sure.

I would say either because of misconception or lack of knowledge. peaople should know,
Allah is NOT a moon god.
Moon is the creation of God.
Allah is another name of God
We all pray to God of Abraham, Noah, Moses and Jesus. Allah is the name of God - Allah is the Arabic word for God.

My husband is Muslim. The 'god' he worships 'Allah' is not the same as the Christian God. First, we believe Jesus died and was resurrected. Second, we believe Jesus is not only the Son of God but fully God and fully human - whereas Islam says He is a prophet. Third we believe in one God, in three parts - Islam believes we think of God as three Gods.

Exactly... you said it your self "propaganda"...
The media is also doing a great job. Just pray that people will be able to see through these lies that are being spread out about Islam.
Peace.

Perhaps it has something to do with that crescent moon on all the Arab flags, and the fact that the moon has always been associated with Satan?

I think they don't want to admit that Muslims worship the same God they do. They want division instead of unity.
