All "Allah" means is "God." The word is not specific to Muslims or only used by Muslims.
The funny thing about religion is the fact that Jews, Christians and Muslims all believe in the same tenants of morality, they just do not believe in whom God is and when he arrived. Jews believe that God has not come to earth and any human form. Christians believe that Jesus came to wash away their sins. Muslims do not believe Jesus was their Lord and Savior, but that Muhammad came to earth to teach the word of God (It is obviously more complicated than that, just work with me on this one). So any discussion of religion and values are going to be all over the place. Let alone the many Christian religions that do not even practice the same way. I am as Christian as they come but I do not worship the same way as a Catholic or understand all the ways they worship. Should I get upset at a player that does something that is not supported by my way of worship too? See where this can go. What about those religions that Native Americans believe in or other spiritual understanding. I have always found it silly that Christians get so upset over what happens in their religions and do not understand what might be offensive in other's religions, then want to take that crap to the field, court or diamond to penalize infractions based on their personal religious actions.
Peace
