Allah is either a delusion that sprung from a psychotic mind, or a sham perpetrated by a murderous lunatic (read the origins of Islam).
In any case, I think it would be difficult to recognize the G-D from the Old and New Testiments as being the same. Old testimemt is all fire, brimstome and smiting people. New Testiment is all peace, love and brotherhood.

"Allah is either a delusion that sprung from a psychotic mind, or a sham perpetrated by a murderous lunatic (read the origins of Islam)."

A little of both actually ... some of Mohammed's visions were "convenient" excuses for him to make decisions that helped him. For example a vision that let him marry 9 women, including a 9-year-old.

"In any case, I think it would be difficult to recognize the G-D from the Old and New Testiments as being the same. Old testimemt is all fire, brimstome and smiting people. New Testiment is all peace, love and brotherhood."

Not quite, but some truth to that. And a lot of truth to the fact that Mohammed brought back the old testament style view of man and god's relationship. God would reward you with sexual pleasures in heaven if you are 'good', where 'good' including smiting the 'infidels' who werent believers in the Quran; and he would punish those who didnt believe. A primitive but effective theology for enforcing your will and creating Islamic states.
