That does not make Jesus a Muslim; he was Jewish.

Allah is the Arabic word for God, not the Aramaic one. It is derived from a contraction of the Arabic words al (the) and ʾilÄh (deity, masculine form) to al-lÄh meaning "the God".
The Aramaic word for God is alôh-ô (Syriac dialect) or elâhâ (Biblical dialect).
The Hebrew word for deity, El (××) or ElÅah (××××), was used as an Tanakh synonym for the Tetragrammaton (××××), which is the proper name of God according to the Hebrew Bible.
Of course, Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic are all semitic languages with the same root structure. English is not a semitic language and so the name for the one deity is translated as simply God.

rev kip, I'm afraid your wrong. The aramaic word was pronounced more "allaha", but all the semitic languages are related. To the poster, that probably means that arabs and jews come from the same source (gasp). The hebrew word for god, for instance was El, or conjugated, Eloi, or even Elohim, which is the plural form that was actually used at the beginning of Genesis, which should literally have really been translated "the gods male and female, created the heavens and the earth"

We honestly can't assume this from the Bible that everyone associates as the Holy Bible. The words have been changed and information has been deleted and added by the Catholic Church and others. The gnostic gospels are a much better source without censorship.
It really doesn't matter what Jesus or anyone else calls God. He is the One and the same. His name is different through many religions and belief systems. Try not to get too caught up in the semantics of it. You're berry picking.

And your point is?
Aramaic was the dominant language in the region at the time that's all. If French was the dominant language at the time he would have called God Mon' Dieu.
What Jesus called God over 2000 years ago means nothing. What we call him today means nothing, His point was as it is now that there is only one God. He has many names, but God is one, period.

Because I do not speak the same language as Jesus. That is like saying, "Only those who speak [Insert Language] will get to heaven." It's what the word means that counts.
I am happy to call God by the name of Allah if that pleases you. I usually call him Heavenly Father.... but it all means the same thing.

Jesus (Iso), never said Allah, but he did say the very similar word Ela which means simply "God" but with no indication of name, as in a title.
On the cross, he is purported to have said: "Ely, Ely (My God, My God), Why have you forsaken me?"
Why would he have said such a thing if he was himself God?

Jesus never spoke Arabic, so your statement is false.
Jesus spoke Aramaic. he called God "Abba", as one person has already noted.
