"Allah" has a specific meaning in Islam.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 17:56, 18 August 2015 (EDT)

Allah just means God in Arabic. I believe it will confuse the users to imply it's only Islamic as it does in the opening, and then say non-Muslims use it as well -[[User:Scatach|Scatach]] ([[User talk:Scatach|talk]]) 18:04, 18 August 2015 (EDT)

:"Allah" with a capital "A" means the God of Islam. The word is derived from a generic word for "god", of course, but "Allah" has a specific meaning.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 18:30, 18 August 2015 (EDT)

::I assumed it is like how English speakers who are Christians say "God" instead of "god". Granted I do not know much about Islam, but I can't say I've heard capitalization is exlcusive to them.-[[User:Scatach|Scatach]] ([[User talk:Scatach|talk]]) 18:46, 18 August 2015 (EDT)

:::The attributes of "God" in [[Christianity]] are different from the attributes of "Allah" in [[Islam]]. The two concepts have significant differences.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] ([[User talk:Aschlafly|talk]]) 18:54, 18 August 2015 (EDT)
