Is Allah God

To put this debate in simple terms, the Christians in the Middle East call God Allah and not God, taking into consideration that God is the english word for Allah. I guess that this debate should focus on do the Christian Middle Easterns believe in God or in Allah, since they do call God Allah, as Allah is the Arabic word for God. Now if we are going to define what is God or Allah, whatever we are going to call it. The main issue is that is God English or Arabic.
