I just wana know why some christians insist that Allah is not God but a moon god? I have read the Quran, it instructs muslim not to worship the moon and moon gods.

there is only ONE "Ultimate Truth" and we have all created different names for "It". No one has a copyright on Him/Her and so don't believe anybody that says his "Truth" is better than yours....there can be only one Truth but different ways to see It. Just respect each other's beliefs and we shall all be fine together.
And there is no...'my god' and 'your god'....it is "us who belong to Him"....not the other way round.

The reason is because of lack of understanding. If they just take the time to read through the English translation of the Quran, they will see that nowhere in the Quran which says that Allah is a moon god (Na u zubila min zalik / I seek refuge in Allah from that kind of allegation).
I encounter one incident where someone in the internet said that the September 11 has been predicted in the Quran and he quoted Chapter 9 verse 11 of the Quran which he allegedly said the verse refer to eagle attacking two kind of building. I have checked the English translation of the Quran and found out that there is not even a single word about "eagle" in Chapter 9 verse 11.
In short, some people like to make allegation without even checking the fact.

The idea for that Allah Is a moon god come from an old research
from an Western writer.That he see the Helal(the moon) upper the mosque so he think the Muslim worshiped the moon.
but the moon found their for Decoration only"Muslim don't like to Decorate by using living thin like animal".

Allah is in Arabic as God is in English. Some christian say that because of the crescent moon symbol. The crescent moon is just a symbol use to rally Muslims together.In short, it just a symbol. Doesn't mean anything. It wasn't even there during the Prophet's time.

yeah, I kinda wonder about that too,
Allah is arabic for God: True
Allah is moon God: Totally untrue and devilish
moslems worship the same God as Christians :Untrue
Moslems only worship Allah The One True God.
Christians worship a Triune (3 in 1,/1 in 3)God who begot a Son that He sacrificed(?) to eliminate this mysterious curse (Original Sin)

I've always been one of those Christians who says Allah is the same as our God, just with a different name. I may sound retarded, but that's the way I see it.
ES, your answer may be well worded and whatever, but it doesn't have anything to do with the question. All you're doing is preaching.

Here in lies your problem. You should read the bible and consider the one true God. And no, it isn't about a religion it's about a relationship and righteousness.
Think of it this way... Imagine you're in a courtroom, you're guilty of many serious crimes. The judge says, "It's a fine of $500,000, or prison." You don't have anywhere near that amount of money, so the bailiff begins to walk you out of the courtroom when someone you don't even know appears. He runs up to the judge with a check and says, "I've paid the fine for you." Now that the fine has been paid, the law no longer has any hold on you. You're free -- because of the gift you were given.
This is what God did for you by sending Jesus to die on the cross in your place. So that you wouldn't have to go to Hell, God sent his only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross -- suffering the punishment that justice demands. Then He rose from the grave, forever defeating death! The Bible tells us, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) If you will repent of your sins and put your trust in Jesus, God says he will forgive all your sins and grant you the gift of everlasting life. Just like the court case we just talked about, if you repent (that means to confess and forsake your sins) and put your trust in Jesus, then you will not have to suffer God's justice in Hell because the payment for your crimes was made by Jesus on the cross.
If you're not sure what to pray, read Psalm 51, and make it a model for your prayer. The words are not "magical," what God cares about is the attitude of your heart. When you pray, it should sound something like this, "Dear God, I repent of all my sins, such as (name them). I put my trust in Jesus Christ as Lord (to say Jesus is your Lord means you are now making Jesus the master over your life) and Savior. Forgive me and grant me your gift of everlasting life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."
Now read your Bible daily, and obey what you read. God will never let you down.
What should you read? We suggest that you start in the book named "John," and then read the one named "Romans." Whatever you decide to read, make sure you read every day.

in arabic 'Allah' means 'God'.
Islam uses the word "Allah"
In Christainity 'God' means "The Father,The Son,The Holy Sprit" which Islam denies.
Islam says"there is no God but Allah"
now thats not straight...

Christians say "Allah" is fake???? News to me. Why don't you try reading actual books instead of comic books?
