Thank you for the differing view brother, as it keeps the concept of the forum alive for people to learn different opinions ad decide from, however, the fact remains that the word Allah was used in Arabia long before the Glorious Quran was revealed to the prophet pbuh in his mother tongue, the Jews AND Christians of Arabia referred to the Almighty as Allah and so did the pagans (despite them having confusing opinions of Him) , the prophet's father's name was Abdullah and so where many of the pagans, some of the Jews also had the name, the word may have existed from Adam pbuh and I'm not disputing that, however I am saying that the word Allah in it's current form was used almost exclusively by people in and around the Arabian peninsula, the Hebrews used "El", it may have been Allah in pure Aramaic,
Secondly you asserted that Allah said: inni Ana Allahu la-ilaaha illa Ana,
From that you concluded that Allah was saying the word Allah in it's exact form - which is not in any way an evidence, as He would have been speaking to Moses in his mother Tongue, and it is highly unlikely that he would have used the words inni, Ana, la, ilaha, illa, and Ana, these are all Arabic words, so although Allah swt is saying that's what he said, he's rendering it into Arabic for the prophet pbuh, although Allah says in the Quran that pharaoh said this and pharaoh said that, I can assure you that pharaoh did not utter those exact words as he wasn't speaking in Arabic, Allah was explaining it in the Quranic language.
A nice example, something I found amazing in the previous scripture (despite its edits) was when Moses pbuh asks? Who shall I say sent me? And Allah swt says: I am what I am.
This is a profound statement as it fills in every description and quality of Almighty God into three words, ehye Asher ehye, ie the creator of the heavens and the earth, your creator, my creator, the sustainer, the forgiver, the punisher..... You could go on for ever,
31.27. If all the trees on the earth were pens, and all the sea (were ink), with seven more seas added thereto, the words of God (Hic decrees, the acts of all His Names and Attributes manifested as His commandments, and the events and creatures He creates) would not be exhausted in the writing. Surely God is the All-Glorious with irresistible might (Whom none can frustrate, and Whom nothing can tire), the All-Wise.
وَلَوْ أَنَّمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِن شَجَرَةٍ أَقْلَامٌ وَالْبَحْرُ يَمُدُّهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ سَبْعَةُ أَبْحُرٍ مَّا نَفِدَتْ كَلِمَاتُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
I am sure you would disagree if someone chastised another because he decided to call Allah, the creator of All, or The Almighty, since these are His attributes, and can be called by them,
Similarly, if you check for the word "God" in the dictionary, you will find that it describes His qualities, and when you add the word "Almighty" to that, there's not much ambiguity remaining, so it can be considered a perfectly valid description of the Supreme Being. And it is sometimes more useful to describe him through these attributes than to use a word which may cause a "slide" in the listener's head,
The intelligence community have studied "slides" through various means and have found that a single word or gesture can cause a breakdown in the receptiveness of a subject and cause them to become unreceptive,
For example, if you are having a conversation with a normal person who doesn't know you, they may listen attentively, as soon as you use the words "conspiracy" or "aliens" or "flying saucers" or "massive plot" they can lose focus and their brain will lose reception as they have been conditioned to see these words as bizarre, you could say "Muslim" before 9/11 and "Muslim" after 9/11 and you would find different images pop up in their head due to social conditioning - from hats and prayer rugs to turbans and rpgs and suicide belts and what not, the advertising industry is also well versed in propaganda techniques, this is simple human psychology, if you say "fatwa" they think of something evil and foreign, however, if you simply used the term "ruling" they would continue to listen with neutrality, it is not wrong to use the word Allah, and it should be used, but it is also not wrong to give a clearer word which they can receive with neutrality, and then go on to explain that Allah is the Arabic word to describe Almighty God and it is this word that is used in the Quran, so is now exclusively used by Muslims as the name of Almighty God/the creator/the sustainer etc.
It was a test done by an American scientist, he would get a rabbit and put it near the baby, baby's fine, he makes scary noises behind the rabbit, baby starts getting scared and crying, he moves the rabbit, gets anything furry, baby starts crying - the baby had mentally associated the rat -and in extension, anything furry- with a scary experience, in psychology it's called generalisation. I say freedom fighters, you say extremist fundamentalist terrorists, the people will see the same group in two different lights, despite the subjects of the topic being exactly the same. Why? The different words stir different emotions, and some actions are better explained than labelled to avoid confusion.
A man grows up having heard somewhere that Allah is an intolerant imagined being who lives in a big black box which people encircle in the desert in Saudi arabia, and He requires that they blow themselves up in order to kill as many infidels as possible - no matter how much you try to invite him to Allah, he thinks, I don't want to worship a god who lives in a box in he desert in Saudi Arabia no matter how many nice things you say about him to me! And I definitely don't want to blow myself up! You simply use the accurate description of that God and you see minds wide open - simply because there's no prejudice involved in their judgement and they are receiving it with neutrality, when propagandists want to revile someone, they say a few nice things about them first - simply to give the impression of neutrality....... I hope you get my gist, this video should explain it all:
