It's quite simple. Allah is Arabic for God. Alaha is Aramaic for God. There can be written a few miles about this, but in essense, this is the truth.
The problem is that 'Allah' has become (for the West) synonymous with the God of Mohammed. We should not forget that Christian Arabic, Copts and Indonesian speaking people just and still say 'Allah'.
That exactly right Akhi. If you go into any Arabic speaking church in the Middle East, whether Protestant, Orthodox, Catholic or Jehovas Witness, you will hear them address God as "Allah". It has nothing to do with Islam, which inherited the term from Arabic Christians (and even Arabic speaking Jews in the Arabian peninsula during before the time of Islam.)
