Because according to people who don't understand the religion they claim to follow, Allah is a different god.

Yeah if I understand correctly Allah is just a contraction of "Al Illah" which means "the god". I love the history of the emergence of monotheism, it was very gradual and often the one god had to cohabit with lesser deities for centuries before they fully took over. Interestingly, Yahweh was in competition for some time with other warrior storm gods, including Belial and Baal which were ultimately demonized to the highest degree to prevent them coming back.

That's a naive interpretation of the lore , then allah is also the same god of the mormons who is one of many in their pantheon. just because an atheist can step back and analyze the lore and draw relationships between fictional characters doesnt mean you can do the same through a lens of absolute truth in a haunted universe with real ghosts
