There is indeed a great ignorance here.

Christians are not to take the name of God in vein. While Allah is the Arabic word for God, the God of Islam is not the God of the Christians.
The god of Islam has no son. The God of Christians and Jews does. If Allah is said to be the same God as that of the Christians and Jews when Allah gave revelation to Muhammad more than 600 years after Yeshua, that Son of God that Allah did not have, then Allah would have delivered a false testament to Muhammad when he told Muhammad he had no son.

The god of Islam does not believe Jesus was crucified to die and take the sins of the world upon himself. That god taught this to Muhammad. Again, Allah would have born false witness to Muhammad were he the same God as delivered his only begotten son upon Mary so as to fulfill the mission of Salvation when Allah taught Muhammad that.

Allah taught Muhammad that the triune nature of God is blasphemous. And today Muslims agree. That is also contrary to the truth of the God of Christians and Jews. Islam also rejects that Jesus was God incarnate.

All these things, but not the only things,are in direct opposition to the cornerstone of the Christian faith that predates Islam.

If the God of Islam were the same God as that of Christianity then he'd be a man. Because his teachings to Muhammad make him a liar when he renounces what he said and did over 600 years prior when sending his only Son Jesus to earth. And then six hundred and more years later denied it all.

Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
These are only some examples of how Christianity and Islam define the God /Allah. It doesnt mean we refer to different gods. Almost all of the "qualifications" of the God are same in these two religions except the one you mentoined. Actually the differences you gave are the points which differ your religion from Judaism also. Judaism doesnt teach Trinity or that Jesus is the only begotten son of God just like Islam. Regarding this, Islam's definition of God is closer to Judaism's definition than Christianity.

Also, you are making a mistake on the etimology of Allah. In arabic the word for god is "ilah". Allah only refers to the Supreme God and only refered to the God of Abraham in Arabia through out the history.

Actually Christianity is the culmination of the Jewish scriptures prophecies of the coming Messiah having arrived as Jesus, Emmanuel. That there are certain Jews that refuse to acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah was foretold also in scriptures. And that there are Jews who do accept Jesus as that Messiah is a fact also.

The scriptures in the Hebrew texts and the new covenant Jesus fulfilled speak to the nature of Jesus as the Messiah and the only begotten son of God. Who was crucified in order to take the sins of the whole world upon himself on the cross.
None of that is acknowledged about Jesus , who the Muslims call Isa, in the Koran.
Not the crucifixion, not that he rose from the dead, not that he died to redeem the world of its sins, not that he was the only begotten son of God, not that he was born of a virgin. Not that he performed miracles as the embodiment of God.

In fact the Koran claims it is a lie that he was crucified and resurrected.

Islam blasphemes the true legacy of Jesus Christ.

Islam 101 has this to inform about Ilah at this link

The God of Abraham does exist. He is not that which Muhammad referred to in his creation that became known as Islam.
