Mr. Bill Poole gave some good general information in that thread.

Allah & JHVH are not derived from the same root (JeHoVaH is derived from YHWH)

numerous old testamtent names, which are still in use today, end in the word "el" which mean "god"... Dani-el, Micha-el, Gabri-el etc etc

"el" in older semitic languages, such as Hebrew is the same root as the word as "ilah" in modern arabic (the most widespread of all semitic languages), where it means "god" (lower case), that gives us, in its proper form, al-ilah which contracts to Allah which means "God" (upper case).

This is not a religious discussion, but a lingusitic one... my other hobby....

shoot good

But he did not quite address the specific questions I asked here.
