"As someone raised Catholic, I always beleived that Christians and Muslims worship the same God. I still do."
Then how do you explain John 5:23 "He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him." (NKJ)
Read the Gospel of John. Focus on the words of Jesus. The whole point is JESUS HIMSELF. There is NO OTHER WAY. There are NO OTHER PATHS, NO ALTERNATIVES. Christianity is not a "religion", it is faith in a PERSON. It does sound unfair, doesn't it? It's been called the "scandal of exclusivity". Believe what you will, but please, if you're not going to profess this simple truth of the Gospel, don't call yourself a Christian.
I'm very disappointed that President Bush didn't take this opportunity to clearly profess the Faith. Muslims obviously don't believe we worship the same God. You don't make it a goal to kill your spiritual brethren.

So if you're saying that Muslims and Christians don't worship the same God because Muslims don't honor the Son, then by your logic, neither do Jews and Christians worship the same God.
I think we all do.
