Allah is used in all islamic countries it's also used by none Muslims in Arabic speaking countries. Are they referring to the Muslim god then?

"God" is actually "the god" if I am right and that would be an alternative for Allah, although I think it is still encouraged that Allah be used as is in all the languages around the world, like Adam is used and like most other specific names! | |
