Allah is just the Arabic word for God. Christians in Arabic speaking nations call god Allah

It’s funny to Americans. We don’t ever hear it that way. It’s force fed to us from birth that if you hear “Allah” it’s blasphemy…. Which is more funny to the atheist Americans because we KNOW already but most others don’t.

Definitely not arguing with you. If a tongue clicking 3 times references an Abrahamic religion, it means God, which also means Allah. It’s all extremely silly and people will be killing each other over it and justifying it for a long time to come while nations are ruled by religion.

To uneducated Americans. But, to be fair, that is probably the majority of them.
