Why do the ignorant keep refering to Allah as someone or something different from their God? He's the same damn thing! Allah is Arabic for God!! He's the same God you worship for whatever your religion is! Why are you people sooo stupid!?!? Like Jahova and God are the same thing, but nobody seems to make that mistake!

Please don't go on about your religion, I don't care what you are, and you don't know what I am so lay off. The words are the same, but people interpret them differently, so why? It's GOD in another language. Explain why people refuse to understand THIS concept, NOT the one of why Christ is great or Allah is bad.

Allah might be Arabic for "god", but that doesn't make them the same person. If you've really read about who they are, you'll see that they are not the same. They are opposites.
Allah is a god who says you have to become better to be acceptable, you are at the bottom of the pit and you're going to have to climb out, and you've got to kill the infidel to get virgins.
God says he'll take you just as you are because he loves you, you're at the bottom of the pit but he's going to come down there and pull you out, and you need to love your enemies, not hate them.

While Allah does mean God in Arabic, Allah and the Christian God are not the same. The God of the Christains is made up of the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit. Because Muslims only view Jesus as a prophet and not the Son of God, they can't believe in the Trinity. Therefore, Allah can't be the same God as the Christain God.
Basically, God and Allah could only be the same if Christains didn't beleive that jesus was the Son of God or if Muslims believed in the Trinity.

First off, Allah is not loving. Secondly, Allah is a god of deceit - the Quran claims that Jesus was never crucified, but that it was another man made to appear as Jesus.
So, let me get this straight. Allah PURPOSEFULLY deceived people for 600 years and even put someone to death for something that person wasn't even guilty of?
Allah also is anti-Christian. Get this, the God of the Bible is pro-Christian. Even further, the Bible teaches respect for women. Allah demands women cover themselves up and insists that women be treated as mere children. God doesn't take this attitude, He doesn't even suggest beating your wife. Allah does!
Allah =/= God of the Bible.
Plus, another issue with Islam is the way Muhammad claims he was visited by an angel named Gabriel. Not only did Muhammad walk away afraid, even though to all the prophets of the Old Testaments visited by Gabriel, Gabriel says, "Do not be afraid." They are not afraid, but Muhammad is.
Plus, consider 2 Corinthians 11:14 - "And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." Is this not what occurred to Muhammad?

Actually, I use to think that way to, but, I became a Christian, not a counterfeit Christian as I was, and learned alot.
My belief is that they are different because: The nature and character is different. The only God I worship is the God in the Bible, if any other book, holy in some eyes or not, changes the WORDS, nature or character of God, I do not believe it.
Jehovah is Gods name, but, in my opinion, some religions interpret what God says to suit themselves. I am not naming, there are more than one in my opinion.
Well said Duo's Child!!!!!

So does Allah approve of your cursing, God doesn't of mine, he teaches to let my yea be yea and my nay be nay - meaning that the usage of exclamatory language that offends my brother is sinful for me to use and has no value. God also teaches me, does Allah teach this as well, that both fresh and salt water can not come from the same source, which also tells me that if my mouth speaks cleanly for God then it should not speak filthily at the same time. God teaches me, does Allah teach this, that it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles a person and not what goes in, because what comes out is an over abundance of the heart? And in the scriptures that God inspired, he does not refer to himself as Allah, but as God, Jehovah, I AM, Father of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and Jesus. I"m not trying to say you may not be correct in literal interpretation, I just wonder if Allah of the Muslim faith and God of the Christian are truly the same? Being they have little else in common I find it difficult to think so.

Allah is just Arabic for God. Muslims refer to God as Allah because that's how it is written in the Koran. Allah has 100 names in the Koran some of which translate to the Most Merciful, The Great One, The Source of All Goodness.
In Arabic Koran
"Qul huwa Allah ahad, Allah al-samad; lam yalid wa lam yuwlad; wa lam yakun lahu qufuwan ahad. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"
the same line
In translation of arrabic koran
"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"
Notice how God and Allah are used interchangeably/

I agree i was really confuse before then i started to learn about it that Allah and God is the same but because 0f the different religion we have and we believed. It change its name but some other people try to compare it with each other but as Christians praise God, Muslims praises Allah too which is in Islam Allah means God..

Allah is the moon god he is one of many. God is only one. Allah is arabic for God however when using english God and Allah are different. Jehovah is the one true God that is why they don't make that "mistake" He is not the same. I see satan has you pleasantly decieved. He can go decieve others now.

I'm a Christian and the God I worship doesn't tell His people to kill the infidels. The God I worship has a Son named Jesus Christ, "allah" doesn't. Seems like two different God's to me!

*shrugs*
At some point in Christian history believers began using the word god as though it were a name rather than a descriptor. ie - "My god is named God, and your god is named Clark."
The insistence may also be due to the exclusionary nature of Christianity. I think many Christians would be insulted by the notion that Allah is simply another description of the same being.
