God or Allah?

Why do Muslims say Allah and not God when speaking or writing in English? I can understand saying Allah if we are speaking in Arabic. But shouldn't we refer to God in the language we are speaking in?

GOD = ALLAH = YHWH = The Creator of Abraham

Now all we need is unified "Truth".

Jn:14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
And 'the way, the truth and the light' is Satchitananda.

Truth is a pathless land.

Truth is not a target, it is a journey.
"Whatever you are totally ignorant of, assert to be the explanation of everything else"

William James quoting Dr. Hodgson

"When I see I am nothing, that is wisdom. When I see I am everything, that is love. My life is a movement between these two."

Yes!

It is a journey to sanctification in Christ Jesus, and holiness unto the Father (GOD, ALLAH, YHWH)
