Allah and God? Why Not?

To believe in Allah is not to believe that Mohammad is the last messenger.

To fully understand both religions and to really know if Allah is God, you need to read both the Bible and the Qur'an.
Now, dont get me wrong here, im NOT a Muslim. I am a Christian I love the Lord, infact I am a missionary. But I have lived in a Muslim nation, so i understand a fair amount about Islam.
Personally, if Allah is loving, forgiving, has grace, is the creator of the world, has a personal relationship with humans etc... then that to me, is God.
A lot of Christians believe that Muslims are bloodthirsty people who only want to kill for the glory of Allah and commit Jihad. But many Muslims do not agree with Jihad.
I believe many muslims do not understand the Qur'an properly. Expecially in the parts about Isa (Jesus).
Have a read of both the Qur'an and the Bible before you make your mind up.
God Bless :)
