Can someone please explain to me how the God of Abraham can be one and the same as Allah, the God of Mohammad? Nowhere in the old testament do I read the God of Abraham telling a human being to kill anyone. Didn't He say thou shalt not kill? Only God is the giver of life and only He can take it. Having read the Koran there are just too many contradictions to make a reasonable connection to the one true God. Anyone care to enlighten me?
1 Kings 15:29
As soon as he began to reign, he killed Jeroboam's whole family. He did not leave Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed them all, according to the word of the LORD …
Joshua 8
Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack Ai. For I have delivered into your hands the king of Ai, his people, his city and his land. 2 You shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king, …
When Israel had finished killing all the men of Ai in the fields and in the desert where they had chased them, and when every one of them had been put to the sword, all the Israelites returned to Ai and killed those who were in it. 25 Twelve thousand men and women fell that day—all the people of Ai.
In the Bible, killing people for reasons of immorality is understood to be a matter of honor:
Numbers 25
When Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw this, he left the assembly, took a spear in his hand 8 and followed the Israelite into the tent. He drove the spear through both of them—through the Israelite and into the woman's body. Then the plague against the Israelites was stopped; 9 but those who died in the plague numbered 24,000.
10 The LORD said to Moses, 11 "Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites; for he was as zealous as I am for my honor among them, so that in my zeal I did not put an end to them. 12 Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace with him. 13
They are not the same God (that of Abraham and “Islam”) but in Arabic it is the same word. Just as in English Hindus often refer to their god(s) as God.
