Not true. The moon god of Islam is nothing like the loving Creator worshiped by Christians. The Creator provided a Savior for fallen humanity, His own Son -- Allah is nothing like the One True God.

The common roots of Judaism, Christianity and Islam are common knowledge to anyone who has taken Comparative Religions 101.

Of course all three religions "branch out" from Abraham. The point I was making is that the adherents to the three religions "worship the same God." Muslims and Christians do not worship the same God, as I explained in my earlier post.

A bit condescending?

Mythological roots? Most believe that the people living in the middle east now (and 2000 years ago) are the physical descendants of Abraham's son Ishmael. That said, they are most certainly not the spiritual descendants of Abraham. That is, their religion is not from "the same tree" as Judaism and Christianity. Again, if you take the time to look up some middle eastern history, it is quite clear that pre-muhammad arabs were outright pagans. They did not follow the Judeo-Christian God in any way. Later, muhammad took elements of Judeo-Christian doctrine and tried to mix those with a moon-worshipping cult. That is Islam.
