I know you meant that as a sillogism, but that's kinda right: you could call it a case of mistaken identity.
Islam thinks and acts as if Allah is the God of Abraham, but the Koran's description of Allah's character, demeanor, etc. is inconsistent with the Biblical account of YAHWEH, the God of Abraham presented there. Were YAHWEH and Allah the same, there would be no difference.
Of course, Islam claims that Judaism got it all wrong.
[No I'm not going to outline those disntinctions from the two books; the proof will be left to the student.]

Of course, Islam claims that Judaism got it all wrong. Islam, Judaism, and Christianity have each been claiming that the others have "got it all wrong" for centuries.
And so it goes.

Good attempt at dialogue, but that's not what OWK does. He just finds it comforting to try to cast a little dark on any discussion of truth he happens across. Beware flying cliches.

So basically, the Moslems think they're worshipping the God of Abraham, but they're really worshipping this Moondoggie fella. But, if they think they're worshipping God, won't God take that into consideration?
