Yes as someone with spiritual ties to Arab Christians, I ask people to please anchor the claims like “Allah is not the Christian God” to the practice of actual Arabic-speaking Christians. There’s a lot of junky information out there that doesn’t even start from a knowledgeable foundation. You can look up Bible verses you know, listen to them in Arabic, see them transliterated, and save yourself embarrassment and save others from misinformation.
It's more or less the things that "Allah" instructs to do, things outside of the nature of God.
Striking the heads from the shoulders of infidels/unbelievers to spread the religion is not what we have heard from God the Father, nor God the Son.
God never forces himself on anyone, because at the end of the day, why would He compel by force, why would God compel a man, whom he created with free will to choose Him? Why would God need to considering he controls literal life, afterlife, final destination, and why would God do that when prior to Christ, the Gentiles were a wild olive branch, with only the law written on their hearts? Why would he tell a people whom he called to be loving to do that to people who are not a part of the covenant that He made with the Israelites, nor of those whom are Elect from the begging (He knows and has forechosen all who will be saved, He sees all time, already)
God takes vengeance, not man, God tells us that He will repay, that he will cause the foot to slide in due time for those who abuse others.
Islam's sword verses, in context, describe a god, unlike our God, so with respect as a person to those people whom believe on allah, God, or YHWH is consistent, upright, morally excellent, and truthful, throughout the Bible.
Now, I have heard people argue against this considering that God commanded the Israelites to slaughter the Caananites, but understand, that they were giants, who worshiped fallen angels, ancient caananite dieties, that are still worshipped, whom people still pass children through the fires of, like Moloch. Those Caananites, whom had bred with fallen angels, needed to be wiped out for the sake of man. God had a plan to keep humanity pure, even after the flood, as the fallen ones came back again.
Finally, we know that the God of the Bible is God, and not allah, because the prophecies that God makes, com true.
Ezekiel, 2500 years ago said that Israel would come back after dispersal, 1900 years ago, in 70 AD, after Jesus said they would destroy the Temple, the Romans did, and they begat the Jewish diaspora.
In 1948, Ezekiel 36 comes true.
In Isaiah 44,45, we learn 200 years before Cyrus the Great is born, that God has chosen Him, and Isaiah prophesies this. Again, fulfilled.
All of those prophets worship YHWH; (I AM THAT I AM) of whom consists Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, another reason, that allah, is not the same God.
Paul told us 500 years before Mohammed existed, that Satan masquerades as an angel of light, as does his ministers masquerade as men of the cloth.
12 Disciples, all save 1 died a gruesome, horrible death, drinking of the cup of the Savior; and none of them, who knew Jesus, denied him after he reappeared to them.
Peter who had denied him while he was alive, requested to be crucified upside down, because he felt unworthy to be executed in the same manner as Christ.
God shows mercy, God says your works are nothing before Him. The god known as allah, only has mercy when others do as he wants, and says you can do works to get to heaven and be forgiven;
Islam states that it's okay to lie to others, in order to spread Islam; the term is called "Taqiyya"
My God says that "all liars shall have their part in the lake of fire".
allah is no equal to YHWH; and it couldn't be more obvious to anyone who has looked even at even a handful of the sword verses. They are in perfectly clear context;
allah is not God. God is YHWH. God is trinitarian in nature, Father, Son, Holy Spirit. 3 Distinct Persons in One distinct God.
We are a Mind, Body and Soul. I know this is a poor way to put, it but the mystery of the Trinity is mind boggling, God gives us this information throughout the Bible, it is why John 8:58 is the claim of Jesus' divinity from His own mouth.
"Verily I say unto thee, before Abraham was, I AM." (YWHW) and the Jews picked up rocks to stone Him.
My friend, I fully agree that Islam is a false religion. I would sooner die than confess its false teachings. I’m an Orthodox Christian who confesses one God in the three Persons of the Holy Trinity and confesses Jesus Christ as fully God and fully man.
My point is that my brothers in Christ who worship in Arabic use the word Allah to refer to God, because that is the word for God in Arabic!
We know that the God of the Bible is Allah when we’re speaking in Arabic, because that’s how you say God in Arabic! The god confessed by Muslims is false, but just as in English, the presence of false religions that refer to “God” doesn’t mean that right-believing Christians are forbidden to use the word “God” to refer to the true God!
Orthodox Christians around the world sing the Trisagion Hymn before the reading of the Epistle and Gospel during the Divine Liturgy (the Sunday morning worship service). It is Trinitarian. I myself have been the chanter singing this in these three languages, as is done in Arabic speaking Orthodox churches in the US. We’re saying the EXACT same thing in all three.
Arabic:
قدوسٌ الله ،
قدوسٌ القوي ،
قدوسٌ الذي لا يموت إرحمنا
Quduson Allah,
Quduson il-qawi,
Quduson alladi,
La ya mut irhamna.
English:
Holy God,
Holy Mighty,
Holy Immortal,
have mercy on us.
You’re welcome, and I forgive you! It’s not easy being an Arab Christian in America (I am not one but was in a bilingual parish for a few years). American-born Christians often don’t realize that such a thing exists, which causes a lot of confusion with things like this and the issue of Palestine.

With respect to all, God is not allah. It's clearly Satan; they may know him as "Shaitan" or the original name "Helel", an angel of light appears to Mohammed....well who do we know (Paul) who said in an epistle, 500 years before Mohammed, https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%2011%3A14&version=NKJV

Forgive me, I misread you. Thank you for educating me. I appreciate you.
I see, in the form of a noun that refers to the person of the One true God, not as the name of a false idol.
