It's not just the Trinitarian nature of God that distinguishes Him from this fallacy known as "Allah."

The true God has two important characteristics: will and reason. Allah is built on the ancient Roman and Greek pagan creations that had only wills, with no reason. This leads to a flawed understanding of a divinity set up as a whimsical tyrant who cannot be understood even in simple terms because there's no rationale to his existence -- and therefore, by extension, there's no rationale to ours.

That's why the practice of Islam is polluted with all of these references to "Allah's will" -- and really nothing else. Islam does not see the physical world as a manifestation of a rational God, so there is no attempt in Islam to really understand it. The inevitable result is that Islam may have made sense to nomadic tribes in the Middle East, but it is fatally flawed when it tries to exist in a culture built on reason and a natural order.

Look, we are dealing with a religion that is from the devil.
