Coming late to the game here, but re the issue of the same God being worshiped by Christians and Muslims, the best argument is to go out and interview some Muslims who have converted to Christianity. Ask them, since they will know the two belief systems better than anyone who hasn’t been directly involved with both systems. The answer you will get is that Allah and the God of the Christian bible are not alike at all.

But I guess since I can’t provide links on the Internet, my points are somehow irrelevant. Because we all know what a bastion of truth the Internet is, right?

MirCat, thanks for posting that link. I’m not billy, but I appreciated it also.
What we see in the reactions of the billys of the world is the terror that we keep hearing about-he is unable to face the reality of the danger to our civilization from radical jihadist Islam, so he tries to convince himself that it’s not so bad. Some believe that Man is too noble a creature to be barbaric, when in truth man shows himself to be more barbarian than noble.

The current allah is actually an earlier god called baal.

Very late to the thread, and still reading it, but here’s a link that lays it all out pretty well.

Very detailed. Be persistant.

Thanks for the link, I was trying to look something up on that, but couldn’t figure out how to spell baal.

Billy,

Had you spent a day with the koran you would not look like the idiot you do right now.

Vaccinate yourself by reading it. Then come back with a foolish grin and say your sorry.

Time to neuter the word ‘racist’ or ‘racism.’ It’s lost all meaning. Next time somebody calls anybody a racist, just reply ‘yeah, and?’

You hate Mexicans.

Hope this does not offend but really, arguments of Christianity vs. Islam vs. Judaism is like the feud between Sunni and Shia. At the end of the day they are all just middle eastern mythology, when we all know the one true God is plainly Odin.

Tell us again about Robert Spencers’ shortcomings; now THAT takes a pair.

JWS on August 14, 2007 at 7:25 PM

I can’t say for certain that I agree with every single thing that Robert Spencer says or writes (after all, I haven’t read all of his stuff), but from what little I have seen here on HotAir, I can say with some confidence that:
1) he is fair (I would not question either his integrity or his motives),
2) his depth of knowledge regarding the subject matter is simply vast (he is an impressive scholar, to say the least),
3) he possesses sorely needed verbal and written communication skills that are in sharp contrast to what I see in today’s MSM.

My collie says:

Robert is a veritable oasis in the desert of our “sound-bite” driven media existence.

Allah just means “God” in Arabic….It’s not that complicated, Arab Christians and Jews call God “Allah.” The Muslim “Allah” is clearly derivative from the Judaic-Christian lineage. It was John of Damascus who some 1000 years ago first described Islam as a Christian heresy. Nevertheless, it’s hard to reconcile the simple fact that the basis of the Christian belief in God is belief in the Trinitarian nature of God, which of course the Muslims do not accept–but neither do the Jews, so does that mean they do not worship the same God? I guess I’m somewhat on the fence about this one. Clearly the Islamic God is related to the Christian God in some sense, certainly more than say the many gods of Hinduism…That said, I do think far too much Islam-bashing goes on at this website.

Billy;
Do you really believe that ‘the same God’ would command BOTH of the following:

Quran; Surah 004: Ayah 089
Take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah. Seize them and slay them wherever ye find them.
And
Bible: Exodus 20 or Deuteronomy 5; The 6th Commandment:
You shall not murder.

Back when I was young and naive, I too believed that God and Allah were essentially the same.

Then I actually read the Quran.
And realized that only the complete antithesis of God would call for conversion by the Sword instead of by the Word.

Now I have no links, because I tend to read book to figure this stuff out.
Which books?

billy on August 14, 2007 at 3:18 PM

All right, big boy. How ’bout the Koran? The Bible? All sorts of archeological books, historical books by Winston Churchill (not the PM, the other one). Moshe Dayan, Walid Shoebat, some boring piece of crap by Saeb Erakat. Honestly, I can’t keep track of most books titles because I will basically read anything that comes across my desk.

But I guess since I can’t provide links on the Internet, my points are somehow irrelevant. Because we all know what a bastion of truth the Internet is, right?
There’s nothing sadder than a generation who doesn’t know how to pick up a book and find “stuff” out for themselves. I shudder for a group of people who get ALL their information from the Internet.

Well, I’m done and you’re boring me.
