We do NOT worship the same god! The way I see the distinction is this:
The 10 Commandments all boil down to the 1st: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." Hence, the ultimate judgement is God's and his alone. His judgement is omniscient and perfect.
Islam says "There is no god but Allah and Mohamed is his profit." Hence, they are to follow the commands of Mohamed who used vengeance against the infidel. Allah is a small "god" and needs help. Those who judge in his name do an imperfect job.

The origins of Christianity and Islam are from a common source and so they have similar gods, prophets and edicts. They were all invented in the Arab land. What differentiates the followers of the two religions is that the Christians were primarily from Europe and the Muslims were primarily from Arabia after the advent of Islam.

Let us not confuse the two cultures with the two religions. As far as the cultures go, the Arabs are still in the era of barbarism while the West has progressed. To pan Michael Savage for pointing out the similarities in the religious angle is incorrect. Savage is one of the more independent voices in the media.

...."We do NOT worship the same god!".....

This is the most important fact and needs to be emphasized. If you study the 12th Imam that is supposed to come from the bowels of the earth because the Muslims have caused so much chaos and murder, versus Jesus, Who comes down from Heaven to crush the Beast, it become clear to me that Islam worships the Beast and no God. There are several mentions in the Bible about The Trinity, and a big contention with Islam is the difference with their Allah. If you believe Jesus was the Fleshly representation of God on Earth, then you can never square that with the Islamic teaching that Jesus wasn't the Son of God, He isn't the pathway to Heaven, and the Statement that "I and the Father are One" are blasphemy. Revelations talks of a beast coming from the Earth and Christians are taught he is a liar and murderer. Muslims believe this will be their savior. Muslims worship Satan, if you believe them and the Bible. They freely admit if they cause enough chaos and murder, Allah will come and rule on Earth. If Jews are God's chosen people, and Muslims want them dead, what proof do you need that they are not of God?

There are many examples in the Bible that prove Allah is not the God of the Bible. To keep pretending that we all worship the same God is impossible. Either the Bible is true or the Koran is true. It can't be both.
