The God of Israel has a Son - Jesus Christ of Nazareth; but Allah has no son according to the Koran.

Therefore the Biblical Christian God of Israel is not Allah.

Your logic is faulty.

Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God. Jews and Muslims do not. At the same time, Muslims hold Jesus in high esteem. Notice, for example, when a Muslim, such as Mansour Ijaz, mentions the name Jesus or the name Mohammed he follows it with the respectful phrase, "Peace Be Unto Him.".

Muslims believe that the notion that God has a Son is a form of blasphemy because it detracts from the absolute greatness of God. Christians, Muslims and Jews have some differences of opinion about the nature of God, but all believe in the same lineage of mankind going back to Adam and the same creator.

ye do err for you know not the Scriptures ...

the God of the Bible goes to great lengths to introduce and exalt His Son in Christ ... by the New Testament any voice that denies the Deity and Messiahship of Christ is the voice of the Antichrist (1st John - 3 times)

Islam by the koran denies the Deity and Messiahship of Christ ... those of Ishmael's descendents who have become muslims have forsaken the God of Israel for a strange "god" ... the koran makes no bones about it ...

it should be fairly noted they may repent of such belief and come to know Christ as Saviour but they much acknowledge His Deity and Messiahship ... indeed, He desires it so ...

reducing Christ to prophet, regardless of "respect" is full denial of His Messiahship and Deity ... the koran goes to great lengths to deny the Deity of Christ ... it is therefore the voice of the antichrist ...

but 2nd Corinthians 4:3-4 foretells of such ...

The Dinner Table - [5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

God is not schizophrenic ...
