My gosh, drstevej. Why are you bringing up strawmen and adding to what I have said?

Here it is:

The following prayer breaks the silence daily from every mosque: la illaha illa Allah! “There is no God but Allah!”

Allah, of course, is the same God Jews and Christians worship. Islam is not only a Western, monotheistic religion rather than an Oriental, pantheistic religion, but explicitly bases itself on the historical revelation of the God of the Jews, tracing itself to Ishmael, Isaac's brother, to whom God also promised special blessings according to Genesis. Isaac and Ishmael, Jews and Moslems, have been engaged in sibling rivalry ever since.

The older name that “infidels” gave this religion, “Mohammedanism,” is inaccurate, for neither Mohammed nor any of his followers ever claimed Mohammed was anything more than a human prophet. “There is no God but Allah and Mohammed is His prophet," is the complete Moslem creed.

Stole the above from Peter Kreeft who is a learned and esteemed professor of theology at Boston College.

***"There is no God but Allah and Mohammed is His prophet," is the complete Moslem creed. ***

Allah is no prophet of the God of the Bible, nor is J*s*ph Sm*th. Both groups distort the character of God yet claim to worship the God of Abraham.

Jesus said, "If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me." [John 8:42]

At best they pray to a Father they malign and whose beloved Son they spurn. Jesus said the Jews [context of Jn 8] have the devil for their father.

Now if Jesus says this about them, how can Islam claim God for their Father. Additionally they add a false prophet and false scriptures that distort the message of the gospel. (Note the parallel to M*rm*n*sm).

The point I am responding to is the belief in a god (gods) who is seen as creator.

[Jael]

If you think the Lord God Jehovah is Allah you are seriously misguided.

If you even hint that Muhammed was a child raper, a thief, a murderer, you'll be castigated or worse.

Muslims see Muhammed as some kind of superman.
