I would have no problem at all either pledging "Under Allah" or not pledging at all which is the same choice you have.
FWIW there are UN diplomats' kids from all over the world in schools in NY, including Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus. You don't hear then howling because they are being damaged by the dreadful pledge.
What does it matter? People on this earth are being shot at or systematically starved to death while others are busy getting mortally wounded by a recited pledge. Sheesh.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
