I notice that this translation of the Koran repeatedly refers to "Allah". "Allah" is simply the Arabic word for God. I don't understand why these translators would leave this word untranslated. It seems like a conscious effort to make Islam seem different or foreign to Western readers. In fact, Islam is closely related to Christianity and Judaism, and it fully incorporates both the Old and New Testaments.
