Arabic-speaking Christians, including Eastern Catholics such as Maronites and Melkites, use the word “Allah” for the God of the Bible.

In fact, they used the word Allah before the Muslims.

“Allah” is probably etymologically related to “Eloi”, Aramaic for “God”.

However, the similarity stops there.

Mohammed was a pirate, a murderer, a torturer, a rapist, a pedophile, a polygamist, a slave trader, a Jew hater, a bloody warrior, and an unspeakably cruel tyrant.

Contrast that to Jesus Christ, God in the Flesh to Catholics and Bible-believing Christians.

Not the same God at all.

Not a chance. We worship the God who gave Moses the Ten Commandments and who gave us, through Jesus Christ to the Apostles, the Two Great Commandments. The Muslims have no analogous obligation but in fact are allowed to make misrepresentations (taqiyah) to non-believers and are authorized to slaughter those who refuse to convert to Islam.

Islam is founded on and advances through blood and the sword. Catholicism is founded on sacrificial love. We believe in a triune God while the Muslims believe the doctrine of the Trinity is an example of "shirk". There is no reconciling the two religions, or should I say the Christian religion and the hate cult founded by the bloodthirsty warrior Mohammed.
