The denial of the Trinity is also explicit: Allah begets not, i.e. he is no Father; and was not begotten, that is, he is no Son; and no one is like him, which means he is no Holy Spirit. "They are infidels who say, Allah is the third of three." But "Isa" is not the Son of Allah, only a special prophet, and the Christians’ contrary claim shows how they are perverted. The Christians are guilty of blasphemy because of their belief in the "trinity" of Allah, Mary, and Jesus.

Of course, Jews equally reject the idea of the Trinity. Their most important doctrine is, "The Lord is One."

Does this mean they worship a different God? At the very least it means they define him differently.

A great many Christians, especially conservative Protestants, have gotten very chummy with Jews lately. I've noticed remarkably little reciprocation from Orthodox Jews, in doctrinal compromise or willingness to accept Christians as brothers.

Truly, this is of no import. I do not expect my grandmother to accept my embrace of the such concepts as the "internet" or "relativity", yet I honor her as I do my mother and father. Reciprocation is unneeded here. It is not a matter of compromise. Einstein, and many other scientists of the 20th century, made comments that 'they were able to see so far only because they stood on the shoulders of [the] giants' of the past, such as Newton, Copernicus, et al. The situation with Jews and Christians is similar, and no less respectful, even were Newton to have major problems with Einstein's discoveries.
