"It is essential that we keep channels of communication open by showing respect for people of other faiths, even if we believe their view of God is inadequate. Explaining Christ as the saving fulfillment and ultimate revelation of the same god is a natural and effective means of sharing our faith with Muslims and Jews. Insisting that they worship a different god altogether is bound to be counter-productive."

Spreading the ill-informed messages that are being spread around by misguided zealots does nothing more than worsen the emotions driving this conflict.

"In the last century, America was threatened by a global communist revolution. Avoiding all-out war, we outlasted it. And we can outlast this Islamist revolution. What we must avoid is a war of faiths, a war of civilizations between Islam and America. And those who propagandize for such a war are the unwitting or willful collaborators of Osama bin Laden."---Pat Buchanan.

When Jesus says, "Depart from me, I never knew you." will he be talking to people who worship the same God as those He brings into his kingdom?

Better to tell the truth, than to try to found the gospel on a half truth. (And BTW, "Allah" is the name of a principle god in the ancient pantheon of the Arab lands.)

Meanwhile, we must show the utmost respect for each individual who believes otherwise. It is actually a disrespect for someone, to allow them to go into eternity believing a lie, when one knows the truth that can save him.

Also, it is a fallacy to believe we are not under attack by Islamists, who are carrying out what is written in the Koran (that if one refuses to accept the dominion of the Koran, they are to be enslaved, tortured, and killed). It is better to be forthright, especially when one is being targeted for subjection-or-genocide.
