Islam emerged from a context that was entirely Christian but influenced by Arianism. The Koran itself clearly retells Biblical stories and obviously is linked to and dependant upon them. Ergo, it is the same God.

Ignoratio elenchi!

The fact that the Koran retells Biblical stories is irrelevant since the ultimate (read: operative) edicts given in the Koran are in opposition to the original meaning of those stories.

On the other hand, the retelling of Bible stories works quite well if the goal the subsumation of Judeo/Christianity so as to make the same fallacious statement you are making, viz. Allah is Jehovah.

Again, Sons, Allah is Arabic for “The God”. Saying Allah is not Jehovah and referring to Allah as the god of Islam as if its a personal name makes you look foolish. There is no god named Allah. Allah is simply “The God” in Arabic. Why is this hard for you to understand?

Also the submission element exists in both Judaism and Christianity, and is not all about forcing others to comply.
