Chap at the top is claiming "Christianity is part of European identity" but the image contrasts the pagan religions of Europe 2,000 years ago (you can throw in the Celts, Romans and Greeks too) on the left with Christianity which has it's roots in various Middle Eastern religions (Judaism, Zoroastrianism, etc) on the right.
"Elaha" (ܐܠܗܐ) is the Aramaic for "God" and "Alaha" (ܐܲܠܵܗܵܐ) is the same word in Syriac (both languages used by the early Church), which is similar to other Semitic languages like Hebrew (Elohim) and Arabic (Allah).
