#1 What about the other 99 names of Allah? Can't they use one of those instead?

#2 Actually, I think this is a bad move on the part of Christians: Allah as described in the Koran is nowhere near the God of the Old and New Testaments as understood by Jews and Christians.

Well, unless you're a Calvinist...

#3 Agreed, Ptah. Except, that the Muslims, who until now have said they worship the same -- the only -- god as the Jewish and Christian monotheists, are now insisting they worship someone else, someone who has the name of Allah. This is a very, very key point.
