I am Indian. In our culture, we call our creator - 'Father'. I think, so is in your culture also. When the 'Allah' / 'GOD' is our creator, why shouldn't we call him as our Father? Jesus realised it to the full extent and procalimed to the world that he is the son of GOD. In fact we all are. The only difference is whether we realise our Father and act always as his children. Jesus acted 100% as his Father's child. So he deserves his identity which rest of the world cannot claim always. Regards, Jose J An,

The word “God” in Arabic is “Allah.”. Even Christians who speak Arabic call God “Allah.”

Point being — you are arguing about “God” being “God” seems rather silly.
