It's best undersood in context, to shen you click the link, click ceelow the boxed quote, where it says "Enter the Catechism at this paragraph."
well, in the venacular: if that high minded writing says anything to me, then i think i’m not to far off from what it says :). thanks for the response, Merry Christmas and may God bless you.
Q: What makes one religion different from another?
A: Different god(s).
What makes Judaism & Christianity different? Different god(s).
Judaism is *mono*theistic and takes “no other gods before Me” very seriously.
Other Muslims reject that idea contemptuously, and say that Allah is not the same as the One the Judeo-Christian people call God.
Of course, some Jews reject that as well, and consider Christianity polytheistic.
May God greatly bless you and all your dear ones.
Arabic-speaking Coptic, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Maronite, evangelical, and Reformed Christians worship Allah, which is simply the word or term for God in another language. Islam does not hold a copyright to the term. In fact, Arab Christians existed before Islam appeared on the scene. Christians have more hisoric right to use the term "Allah" than Muslims do, since Christians were using the term ~500 years before Muhammad was even born.
Christians who worship Allah (I am speaking of Arabic and Malay-speakin Chrisrians) number in the millions, and their Biblical version of Allah differs HUGELY from the Qur’anic version. To demean or demonize the word for God in another language does a great disservice to believers who speak that language.

I do not mean to disserve anyone.
I simply wrote about the cultural evolution of the gods and their connection to previous cultures.So I do not share in your political correctness in the matter and would rather exercise my freedom of speech.The present Allah of Islam is a composite of previously pagan gods,whichi is why Allah is quite “shifty” and their old pagan totalitarian laws are brought to bear through Sharia, which is poison to the Constitution of the United States.
Thank you for your misplaced concern, but really, you needn’t bother.
their HATRED seems MUCH more directed towards JEWS rather than Christians.>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Here it is , somewhat over simplified:
1) Jehova is the God of the Jews.
2) Jehova destroyed the ancient gods such as Nannar/Sin ( she is memorialized in the Muslim crescent moon)and Baal.
3) Mohammed the prophet combined all of these ancient gods
into a composite god called Allah, during Mohammedan conquests of the Levant and Mesopotamia.
4) The law of Sharia was derived from an amalgamation of the ancient religious codes of those resurrected god traditions.
5) Historically, Jehovah and the Jews did not submit to Allah, and kept their connections to Jehovah, and so they are unconquered, reviled and hated by Muslims as the quintessential non believers.
6) Allah and Jehova are NOT the same, they are very much different devine personages.
Christianity is an off shoot from the Jewish religion , and the Messiah of Christianity is unrecognized by the Jews. Christ , the son of Jehovah is not Jehovah, and is a seperate devine principle altogether, a different personality, yet born of Jehovah’s divine intervention in human affairs.Neither have anything to do with Allah of Islam, who is really Baal , Nannar/Sin in disguise.
Conventional traditional Jewish teaching is that Ishmael repented of the evil in his life and permanently changed, while Esau repented for a time but returned to his evil ways.
Traditional accepted Christian understanding is that Esau needed repentance and struggled with it.
There are innumerable Jewish explanations of this:

...Eisav did Teshuva but then apparently went back to his old ways. His Teshuva did not last. This is contrasted with Yishmael, who repented and the Teshuva did last until the end of his life...

The main poison in Islam is -- in my opinion--- their vile "prophet," who was a bloody-handed warlord, caravan-raider, slave-trader, religious charlatan and pedophile. To the extent that Muslims take him as a role-model, the consequences--- which are catastrophic --- can be predicted exactly.
... and it is...
" then why even have the crusades during the middle ages?
That answer is easy. The Crusades were defensive warfare for the purpose of re-taking lands of the Byzantine Middle East which had been invaded and occupied by the Islamic aggressors, securing Christian places of pilgrimage, and lifting the Islamic yoke from the shoulders of the indigenous Christian people.
The Crusades were, I say again, defensive --- comparable to the landing of the Allies at Normandy during WWII.
The real problem here was not the Arabic word "Allah" , which indeed had pagan origins as did every word for God in every language.
Names with 'el' as one of their components were common in the Near East in the second millennium BC. Linguistic cognates include ancient Semitic El, biblical Hebrew Elohim (God or/of gods), Arabic 'ilah ("a" god), Arabic Allah ("the" God) and biblical Aramaic Elah (God).
In the Mosaic period, 'el was synonymous with the Lord who delivered the Israelites from bondage in Egypt.
Pagan words for God were ALWAYS adopted by Christians when these pagan areas were evangelized.
Terms first used by pagans:
The Koran is the problem. And, more than anything, Muhammad himself--- a wicked, bloody-handed, slavemonger, lecherous, war lord/false prophet --- is the problem.
I agree, great post. BTW, one can learn a lot about the way Islamists behave by reading what we know about the ancient religions of Baal and Nannar/sin.In knowing more about that, we can see many more ways to defeat Islam.
