@Fan -

1.) Was that really necessary?  I mean, I'm all for a sporting debate on issues we disagree on, but simply stating I am wrong and then calling me ignorant, all without any evidence to the contrary beyond an assertion?  That's just mean-spirited!

2.) Muslins claim to worship the same God as Christians and Jews: that does not automatically translate into their God actually being the same...

3.) There are actually several important differences between the Allah of Muslims and the God of Christians (this copied from a yahoo answer here: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090709024652AAPbI3s

a.) God and Allah have different plans for salvation - Allah says that Salvation is through performing good works but God says that salvation is obtained through faith in the death of His Son Jesus Christ and in His resurrection. It is by grace, not works.

b.) God has a Son, Allah does not.

c.) Allah doesn't not exist as a Trinity but in one person. God in contrast does exist in three persons - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. MY EDIT* And Muslims say that beliving Jesus is God is Blasphemy!*

d.) Each God is different in who they love. Allah doesn't love sinners and he loves only the those that obey him. God loves the whole world.

e.) God had his prophets perform miracles as proof they were speaking for him. Muhammed refused to do miracles to prove he spoke for Allah.

f.) Allah will allow a person into heaven if their sins aren't too big. God says no sinners will enter his kingdom which is why he had His Son die for us so that His blood would wash our sins clean and we would be reborn as a new person.

g.) There are many more differences of a deeper theological nature, but too numerous to detail here.

@Inesea - The Trinity Issue alone is enough to differentiate between Allah and the God of the Bible.

@Vitz - Thank you!
