you can make the same claim about some protestant confessions that hold to strict double pre-destination, if you take it to its theological conclusion, then God predestined some men to do good and some do evil. Muslims are not atheist, and they believe in God, they obviously misunderstand his nature [lack Trinitarian Doctrine and Christological view] and clearly have some misguided views of God.

that might be the theological understatement of the year....muslims have some misguided views of God.

muslims do not believe in God...they believe in Allah

they aren't the same in any sense.

ealgeone:

They don’t believe in the Divinity of Christ nor the Holy Spirit. But, neither do the Jews. Islam started in large part as a result of a Christian Heresy. Apparently, Mohommad’s first wife was from a Christian family or maybe pagan but had an Uncle who was a Nestorian Christian, thus much of what Mohammed heard about Christ was from a Nestorian view. which was a seriously flawed Christology. Of course, he also took much from Judaism.

Now I think Islam and some of its followers are a big problem, and I think the West needs to grow a spine and start calling the terrorist elements of Islam what they are radical Islam but at the same time, it would not be proper to go after everyone whose religion is Islam for if God created everything visible and invisible [per Nicene Creed], he also created those who are Muslim, Hindu, Buddist, etc, as well.
