Is Allah God?

Multiple Choice question or essay? Are the answers being graded on a curve?

The Judeo-Christian God is not "Jehovah", it is "Yahweh"

Jehovah is a corruption of the word that began in reformation times.

What about Moloch? That one still has followers. The metal ovens have been replaced by exploding cars, but the result is the same.

Well, then, how dare you refer to Jesus by the English translation of the Greek translation of the Hebrew/Aramaic Yeshua? Why is the name of God the only one that can only be pronounced as it was (presumably) 3500 years ago?

God joined with his creatures, man, individually. Muzzies reject the notion. As do others. Nevertheless, whosoever will, still.

The God=Allah equation means that, however hostile political relations may be, a common "children of Abraham" bond does exist and its exploration can one day provide a basis for interfaith comity. Jewish-Christian dialogue has made great strides and Jewish-Christian-Muslim trialogue could as well.

You can't really address this question until you've defined your terms. For starters, when you say "God," do you mean a semantic construction, or a real live deity with a personality?

Because if you consider God as a concept, it is easy (and valid) to point out that Muslims, Jews, and Christians all worship a god who made heaven and earth, established a covenant with Abraham, and who will one day bring the world to an end.

If, on the other hand, you believe that God the Father (a.k.a. JHWH or Yahweh) really is a spiritual entitity, then it makes a great deal of difference whether the being known to his devotees as "Allah" is actually the same being, or an impostor.

Myself, I do believe that there is a being worshipped by the name "Allah," and who maybe even spun a pack of lies to a fellow by the name of Mohammed once upon a time. That does not, however, make him my God.

"You will know a tree by its fruit.. "

Pure and simple..
What fruit does Allah have.?.

IN ISLAM--->>>> NO SIN, NO responsiblty, NO Law, No PITY, NO Mercy, NO Love, NO goodness, NO rightousness, NOthing HOLY

Mohamaad is a prophet?(foretells future) like the mafia foretells your future... they KILL YOU.. or make you pay "protection" from themselves..

Jiziya(arabic word) <<- Muslim TAX for being NOT MUSLIM... sometimes 80 percent of earned income.. or more if your DEAD.. or half-dead, maimed, or stop being a muslim..

The term Jesus was not contrived as a way to get back at the Church they had previously broken away from, the same cannot be said for "Jehovah"
