You might as well argue (with equal validity, mind you) that Islam isn't a religion, that instead it's a relationship with Allah.

No. Islam is not a relationship with Allah. It is a set of beliefs and practices. There are many who consider themselves Christians based on beliefs and practices. I submit that these clearly religious activities do not insure a relationship with the living Christ.

Islam is the Arabic world for "submission". A person who follows Islam is called a Muslim, which means "one who surrenders to God."

That's a Muslim's relationship to Allah. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...
