Yahweh is not an English word. Jehovah would be more the English translation of the Tetragrammaton YHWH, which in itself is using the Latin alphabet to represent Hebrew.
"El" is the biblical name for God linguistically related to Allah.

Thank you for the explanation, MQ. How many other ways is the creator god who is not Jesus called by Christians, besides Jehovah. I suppose it would depend on the languages they speak, so let us limit to English speakers.
Do Jews, Christians, and Muslims call the creator god by several names?

I am not Jewish, but I know that it is forbidden for Jews to say the name of God (which IIRC is no longer known, but you'd have to ask a Jewish person to verify that) so they refer to God as "Hashem", or "The Name".
Truth Teller already published a list of the many names of Allah used in Islam.
The Bible explicitly states he IS God. John 1:1. He claimed to be God in Revelation 1. Not to mention throughout Scripture.
You don't recognize Jesus as God, so would you say we do not have the same God?
Everyone should recognize that many passages in the Bible are subject to different interpretations. Implying that a different interpretation means someone is worshiping a different god is insulting. In this case, the person being addressed doesn't even read the Bible, so citing Bible verses is irrelevant. Cite something from the Qur'an if you want to be relevant.

Oh good grief, and being a fundamentalist in obfuscation is insulting, as well. The only thing you're sure of is that no one can be sure of anything. Why do you feel it is your right to dictate to everyone else what we should think?

I didn't dictate anything and I don't know why you suggested I did. I would suggest that you could be nice and recognize that others have beliefs that don't necessarily agree with yours, but are just as valid.
Let's all be masters of forgiveness today. Take a break and go outside. Pour a drink. Whatever.
