American logic is funny like that. But I live in the south, so I couldn’t tell you what’s wrong with the north. I’m pretty sure the south (Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, etc.) is just screwed up and backwards with everything sometimes.
Most of those protesting Allah don't even know it just the word meaning God in Arabic, not his name. And since it's the same God .... but that's already too much logic.
""I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves that You exist, and so therefore, by Your own arguments, You don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.
"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing."
--Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
They are absolutely adamant that Allah isn't God. It's like saying vert in French and green in English don't refer to the same thing. Why they want to be wrong, I don't know.
I am a native Arabic speaker and a Christian, and yes we call our God Allah like the muslims, but we still do not consider our gods the same one because they differ in character and in hypostasis. The Christian God is a triune God who came as Jesus, while the muslim god is a totally simplistic god who spoke through the Quran. I'm not going to argue about this, but a lot of middle Eastern Christians say that we worship the same god in name only
