    Rev Kip - The moon God, WTF? And you're a spiritual leader? Explains a lot about the mindset of a lot of Christians out there... *Shakes Head* Do you not know that Muslims (and many Jews) trace the origins of Islam back to the first child of Abraham, who God also said would the be the father of a great people? So do you hold it against Jesus that his parents weren't christian? Since Mohammed founded the religion, of course he was born into a different one. And those crazy reference you made about the pagan daughters he allegedly worshiped, you need to study a bit more. Mohommed actually denouced all scripture regarding them as "The Satanic Verses" and said such beliefs had no place in a monotheistic relgion. Anyways, on to answering the question. Keep in mind, I speak of the broader Christian mindset, and not the actual religion itself which preaches tolerance of others... Christianity has never liked other religions. To include Judaism. Anyone recall the Inquisition? Or the fact that Pope John Paul II admitted that the church bore some responsibility for the holocaust because of it's intolerence of Jews? Ever heard the age old tale that we use the blood of a christian innocent to make our passover matzah? Christians want to piggy back off of our religion so they have a love hate relationship with us, but overall can't denounce us because they did borrow our God and not the other way around. The straight out hate for Muslims comes from the fact that while Jews just need to get with the program, Islam was formed after the death and hoopla of Jesus. We don't want to grandfather clause him in, but they outright rejected him. Oh, that and Christians seem to be an intollerant lot as it is (much to Jesus's chagrin, I'm sure).

    1. yes and no. Christians and Jews have the same God since Christians came out of Judaism, and we both understand that. Christians believe that they ahve the same God as the Jews since we are just the "new Jews". Jews dont believe we have the same God since we are following a false teacher and God: Jesus. The same thing for Muslims. Muslims feel they are the "new Christians" in a sense, but we believe that they just made up their own God and copied some of our stories. So Muslims beleive Yes, Christians believe yes to Jews, and Jew believ no.

    2. THey DONT HAVE DIFFERENT NAMES. the different names are just different languages. In a catholic church in Syria, they would say Allah instead of God.

    That is a definite no. Though all believe in One God, each has very different views about His nature. Christians believe in One God that exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Muslims believe in One God that exists in one person. The biggest teaching in Islam is that God is One.

    Jews and Muslims fail to acknowledge the divinity of Jesus Christ. Muslims claim that Jesus was only God's prophet, and Jews think that He was just a great teacher. Christianity says that Jesus was in fact God and that He demonstrated it through His death and resurrection. Jews claim that they are still waiting for the Messiah. In Islam, God is often portrayed as a cruel taskmaster. You must do what He says or else. Also there are no guarantees with the God of Islam. You might do everything He told you to do, and He might still send you to Hell.

    Islam has many names for God, but two of the names are not "Love" or "Father". These two names are central to Christianity. The idea that God is three in One is why "God is Love" makes perfect sense. In the beginning, God did not have a self-love. Instead He was giving glory and honor to the community that He has in Himself. Also central to Christianity is that God does not change His mind or base things on his mood. From age to age He is still the same.

    They all worship the God of Abraham but they have completely different ideas about him. Whether or not it's the same god becomes a matter of interpretation.
