Arabic word for God is actually Ilah, rooted from Hebrew Eloh.
It is true though that most arabic bible uses Allah as the term God, since they have to do that due to the pressuring fatwa in most arabic countries.
However, Malaysia has recently disallowed non muslims to use Allah as a reference for God in their religious books (specifically Christians in their bible).

I sorta feel that Arabs should be weary about using allahs name as the name for God (the Christian/Jewish God of Abraham), because it is the name used by people who are worshiping a god not of the torah/gospel?
But, at the same time, we call Yeshua Jesus, and I know that God is the cause of of the division in languages with men. Im sure that if their heart is with Him, He is not unhappy about it.
Im sure that even though allah is the name muslims must use for their god, it can also just be a word that means god as well. Haha Im no expert, Ive just heard that muslims are told they have to call their god allah, and not just god. It makes it feel more like a name than a title, I guess.

Actually many Arab Christians most of the time use Rabb (means Lord) in their prayer to God. But I believe other Arab Christians using Allah to call God will still be dear to the Father, especially due to the pressure from governments to use the term allah as God.
Your hearing was true, though, that muslims shall call their god with the term allah, since their creed is "there is no god but allah" (the creed is a fail if you say there is no god but god).

So sorry, but allah is not the substitute word for Jehovah, GOD...allah was an ancient Mesopotamian diety that required a blood sacrifice. The word "ALLAH" is screamed out before flying airplanes into buildings or driving bomb filled vehicles into public areas...Nobody screams out "GOD be praised" before aiming guns at school children or machine gunning down innocent peoples. Please get your facts straight before ASSUMING you are doing allah a grand service.
I am studying at a public school now and i have to use that greeting most of the time to everyone 
not that i mind though

I dont think youre doing wrong, or anything
God knows your heart, and whether or not you love Him, but it definitely seems like it would be kinda odd saying this among people who do not worship the same god.

That must be a weird feeling, though. I mean saying such a thing but not being a follower of the god of the quran?
