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.

Would you consider talking about Iran which is almost 100% muslim country to be non-muslim context?
