Allah
is
not
the
God
of
the
Bible.
Muslims
do
not
worship
the
same
God
as
Christians,
consider
the
fact
they
do
not
acknowledge
Jesus
Christ
as
God.
Christians
believe
in
the
Triune
God
Father
Son
and
Holy
Spirit.
You
can
water
down
the
Koran
and
Muslim
beliefs
but
please
don't
water
down
Orthodox
Christian
beliefs.
Call
me
a
religious
crazy,
I've
got
a
name
for
it
too,
Jesus
Freak.
Jesus
said
"I
am
the
way,
the
truth,
and
the
life.
No
one
comes
to
the
Father
except
through
Me."
(John
14:6)
I
don't
believe
being
a
Muslim
makes
you
a
terrorist.
I
do
believe
that
Islam
can
be
a
violent
religion
(just
ask
the
Christians
in
the
Middle
East
who
face
daily
violent
persecution
for
their
faith).
I
don't
believe
all
religion
are
equal,
there
cannot
be
more
than
one
truth,
especially
when
they
contradict
each
other.
I
believe
in
the
freedom
of
religion
and
that
everyone
has
the
right
to
believe
what
they
want
without
the
government
telling
people
what
to
believe.
I
hope
this
is
helpful
please
research
Islam
and
Christianity.
Find
the
Truth.
I
am
not
attacking
Muslims
or
any
people
because
of
their
religious
beliefs.
I
believe
in
the
unconditional
love
of
God
and
Jesus
Christ's
sacrifice
to
save
people
from
sin.
I
only
want
to
spread
His
love
through
truth
and
love.
Re:

I
respect
the
fact
that
you
realize
that
being
a
Muslim
doesn't
make
you
a
terrorist.
That
in
and
of
itself
is
a
very
good
thing;
there
are
some
rather
vocal
folks
who
believe
otherwise.
I
don't
think
that
Islam
is
a
"violent
religion."
I
believe
that
people
can
be
violent
and
use
their
religion
to
justify
their
violence
and
thirst
for
power
or
vengeance
(i.e.,
the
Palestinian
Muslim
man
who
shot
up
a
Jerusalem
seminary
Thursday
night).
But
Christians
can
be
violent
as
well
(think
of
the
Muslims
persecuted,
tortured,
and
killed
during
the
Crusades.
Think
of
the
Spanish
Inquisition.
Think
of
the
churchgoing
Christians
who
turned
their
backs
on
their
persecuted
and
"disappeared"
neighbors
during
the
Holocaust
in
Poland,
Germany,
Austria,
and
elsewhere
in
Europe.)
And
Dean
makes
a
valid
and
correct
observation
when
he
states
that
the
God
of
the
Bible--meaning
the
Old
Testament
or
Torah--is
the
same
as
the
Allah
of
Islam,
although
some
of
the
stories
vary.
You're
certainly
correct
in
that
Muslims
don't
see
Jesus
Christ
as
the
one
and
only
son
of
God
come
to
save
them
from
sin.
In
summary,
know
that
I'm
not
attacking
you,
and
I
don't
think
you're
a
"religious
crazy."
I'm
glad
you
shared
your
views
here.
Thank
you,
and
keep
watching!
