Other than that, are you REALLY surprised to find contradictions when it comes to different religions supposedly speaking about the same God?
Allah actually is the name of an older moon good that was at the head of a pantheon of gods worshiped by tribal Arabs. When Islam came along, all of the other lesser gods got the boot and Allah was all that was left. He was supposedly a god of the moon, which is why the symbol for Islam today is the crescent moon.
