4. I wanna know how to say "Keanu sucked, but Speed was kinda okay" in Arabic.
Also, I think it's Allah.

However, I wanna know how Admiral Ackbar figures into their religion. Yeah, he's awesome, but is he necessarily a god

5. It means The God, so it's not surprising.

6. According to Wikipedia...
"Arab Christians today use terms such as Allāh al-ʼAb ( الله الأب, "God the Father") to distinguish their usage from Muslim usage. There are both similarities and differences between the concept of God as portrayed in the Qur'an and the Hebrew Bible. It has also been applied to certain living human beings as personifications of the term and concept."
