Unfortunately, this is showing ignorance. Arabs, Arab-jews, Christian to Arab converts, arabs and Arab Christians all use the name "Allah", since it is in Arabic. Other Christians call their deity "God", because it is part of the English language. Unfortunately, the most popular way to say "God", is by using the the latin version. Dieu, Deus, Déu, Dia, Dio, Dios etc etc etc.
Robert, if you think that Americans use the word "god" to refer to a non-specific deity, then you're the one showing your ignorance.
