I stand corrected.

But it just illustrates my question. How precisely do we define things and draw the lines?

Why is it important to ‘draw lines’?

America’s Founding Fathers considered and rejected religious tests. They weren’t prissy librarians, they were practical men who respected and encouraged their fellow man to live amicably with their neighbors despite differences. And they were insistence that those who wouldn’t live amicably should be removed from society by force of arms if necessary.

If we’re into the hypothetical, it’s hard to believe Christians and Jews worship the same God, though Jewish religious tradition holds that they do. Despite millions of dead Jews at Christian hands.

Precisely enough clearly to differentiate the God of Abraham from any semblance to Allah, as reading the article would have explained.
