So if you really think that Jews and Christians worship the same God, why is it so tough to think that Christians and Muslims worship the same God?

Muslims "disallow" other religions for the same reasons that Christians are taught to go out and spread the "good word." Lest you forget, Christians have their own share of a bloody and violent past to convert the non-believers. One can only wonder how many folks died at the hands of the Church for heresy or other such related crimes, and not to even mention the Crusades. So try not to get on your Christian High Horse here--Muslims don't have a monopoly on killing in the name of religion.

Hey, I'm not going to discuss this anymore, but when the Catholic Church even says that Christians and Muslims worship the same God, you ought to re-think that position of yours. Is the Catholic Church in on this Muslim conspiracy, too?

Again, quit spreading your ignorance of the massive differences between Islam and Christianity. once again, for educational purposes, learn about Islam :

I am a Catholic and I have never heard that nonsense coming from anyone in the church. Anyway, unless you buy into *all* the Catholic Church teachings on *all* things, your 'argument from authority' has the ring of hollow sophistry.

No, I will not rethink that theory. Muslims do not worship God, they worship Allah.

There are many writings that go into detail explaining the differences. I am not that versed in the Muslim religion.

If they worship the same god, why is it that so many refuse God and turn to being Muslim? Why?

The Muslim religion appeals to many who seek violence and hate. This is why it is so prevalent in the prisons. There is a justification for the violence that they enjoy.

The practices of the religion again do not show love - they show hate and feed hate. There is nothing in that that would appeal to me.

I am not on a high horse. I have no qualms about the history of Christianity. Yet that means nothing - I do not judge the history of Christianity to see if I believe or not.
