	EXACTLY!  I have been wanting to ask the say question for a long time.
Allah is the Arabic word for God, Dieu is the French word for God, etc.
Many people think that Allah is the name of a "god", which is not correct.
	And while we are at it, since we are writing in English on this 
board, let us try to stick to English as much as possible.  I get really
tired to trying to decipher all the Arabic.
