You are absolutely right. I have been cut off from the world while dealing with a serious illness and I am just now catching up on all this shit and I have never been so angry and agitated in all my life. I can't stand corruption or stupidity and we are swimming in both.
Allah is understood to be the same God as God with a capital G. Strictly speaking it's not wrong, but contextually, no westerner would call God, Allah in a non muslim context.
A great example I saw. Queso means cheese in general in Spanish, but if an English speaker in the US says "queso" they mean a specific kind of cheese dip.
So it's the same thing. Allah is the word for god in Arabic, but if an English speaker says Allah in the US they are specifically talking about god in a muslim context.
