I dont know who needs to hear this, but Allah is just the arabic word for god. Egyptians speak arabic, so Egyptian christians refer to god as allah. Likewise when most musslims talk about god in english thry refer to him as God not Allah.

This is important to emphasize the fallacy in people claiming that christians and musslims worship different gods, its the same god and the same core is at the center of both religions.

@freemo Isn't that besides the point? Baal also means god, but good luck having anyone agree that that's the same as the Christian god.

Ba'al doesnt mean god, it translates to "Lord" or "Owner".

But in sone respects it is besides the point, ot at least not the whole point. The more important part that demonstrates both religions worship the same god is that both religions are extentions of jeudaism and both religions use the jewish torah (the old testament) as part of their religious texts. So clearly its the same god if they both use the same texts which define the origin / creation of the world by the same entity.
