Why does the muslim god say he's a jealous god and will not stand worship of anyother?

Question

Jealousy is a human emotion, does that not make Allah fallible by your own definition of Allah?

What no takers now! you guys seem to be happy pointing flaws of other religions!

I'm not christian either and i agree it makes the christian god fallible too!

Let me rephrase, why does the semitic god say he's a jealous god and will not stand worship of anyother? If he's jealous he cannot be god/allah/yahweh whatever you wanna call him?

Answer 1

They're all mythical.

Answer 2

Allah=God
There is no difference between the muslim god and your god. Allah is arabic for God!! Why can't you get that through your head?!
And besides, shouldn't a god be by himself in power? Wouldn't asking for help, or having a son be ungodly? That's one of the reasons that Allah mentions this to us (muslims) in the Quran repeatedly. You should get a translated Quran from a library or sumthing. It will answer a lot of your questions

Answer 3

Yahweh says the same thing. Common thread in Christianity, Judaism and Islam. There are far more similarities than differences among the three.

Answer 4

Why does he have to be infalible in the first place though? Why couldn't he be powerful but still falible? Why does he have to be ALL knowing, and ALL powerful, and NEVER wrong? I can't imagine having such a responsibility, and I don't think it's fair to try and make God have that kind of responsibility in the first place.

...

Then again, I don't believe in God, so what do I care?

Answer 5

But the Christian god says the same thing -- look at the first commandment.

Answer 6

The Christian god says the same thing. I say we put them in a room and let them fight it out.

Answer 7

One of the Ten commandments is Thou salt have no other Gods before Me.Its in the KJV Bible ,look it up.

Answer 8

The christian sky-pixie says the same thing.

Answer 9

Well how would your mom feel if you went around calling other people 'mom' and treating them like her? There's really only ONE God

What the Quran says about ...
Images of Allah, Muhammad, or the other prophets
Well, nothing, really. But these verses are sometimes interpreted to mean that such images are forbidden.

42:11 "The Creator of the heavens and the earth. He hath made for you pairs of yourselves, and of the cattle also pairs, whereby He multiplieth you. Naught is as His likeness; and He is the Hearer, the Seer."

21:52-54 "When he said unto his father and his folk: What are these images unto which ye pay devotion? They said: We found our fathers worshippers of them. He said: Verily ye and your fathers were in plain error."
