Sure, it's actually the Jewish God, you know. They started it all.... Of course they took THEIR God from the local deities, like Freud says, YHWH was a local little-known Midianite volcanic mountain god, and Jethro (Moses' father-in-law) its head priest..... so theirs is not the original either.

The identity of a god is not defined by his name. It is defined by his traits.
Christians and Muslims do not believe in the same God. All Christians do not all believe in the same God. All Muslims do not all believe in the same God.
Some Christians believe in a vindictive God that condemns anyone who doesn't believe in him to hell regardless of their actions in life. Others believe in a compassionate God that welcomes people of all faiths to heaven. The two Gods are NOT the same.
However, the differences in the traits of God within the individual religions of Christianity and Islam are greater than the differences in the traits of God between the two religions. The vindictive God some Christians believe in is more similar to the vindicate God followed by fundamentalist Muslims than it is to the benevolent God followed by other Christians.

No, because the God described in the Christian Bible acts differently, and has different attributes, than the god of the Qu'ran.
For example, Islam denies that Jesus is God, and Islam denies belief in the Trinity.
Also, Allah is described in the Qu'ran as lying to unbelievers; the God of the Christian Bible is said to incapable of telling a lie -- even to the unbelievers.

Christians serve the same God that the Jews do. So if Christians and Muslims serve the same God and Christians and Jews serve the same God why is it that Jews and Muslims don't consider they serve the same God?

No. It's extraordinary how many people do not know the right answer to this question.
Allah is not the God of the bible. The God of the bible has a son, Jesus, who died on a cross, rose again, and is the only way to God. Islam says Allah has no son, Islam claims Jesus did not die on the cross, Islam does not point the way to Jesus Christ as the one way to salvation.
Therefore, the god of Islam is not the God of the bible.

The God of the Muslim faith is not the same as the God of the Christian faith.
For starters, the Muslim God does not acknowledge Christ as the Son of God and as a part of the Trinity (Tri-unity) of God, where as the Christian God teaches that Christ is His Son and is part of the Trinity.
There are a 'gazillion' differences between both faiths so they are clearly not worshiping the same God.

There is only one God over all... and only those who come to God in The Way He proscribes will enter Heaven...
Those who are deceived by the evil that is islam will never make it by following that evil..

No! The difference is as clear as day and night.
The Christian God, heals and creates and values His creations.
The Muslim God, condones killing and destruction that do not agree with their beliefs. They call their murderers martyrs. What kind of a religion is that? They want total domination from their followers.
You cannot question or doubt any of their tenets or they will cut off your head. I think Allah is Satan himself.

One and the same God. Two misguided human religions who nicked their God from the Jews.Who if Freud and Island guy are right nicked their god from some pagans.All seems too plausible to me.

One in the same, and the spiritual leader for the Muslims is the Prophet Mohammed. Mohammed came after Jesus Christ lived, so he is just a Johnny-Come_Lately as the prophets go.

Allah, is an Arabic word, which means God (the one and the only true God who created the whole universe). In Aramaic*, a language related closely to Arabic and the language that Jesus habitually spoke, God is also referred to as Allah.
All Muslims believe in one, unique, incomparable God, who has no son nor partner, and that none has the right to be worshipped but Him alone. In Qur`an, muslims book, God described Himself: (Say: "He is God, the One. God, to Whom the dreatures turn for their needs. He begets not, nor was He begotten, and there is none like Him.") No one has the right to be invoked, supplicated, prayed to, or shown any act of worship, but God alone.
God is not Jesus, and Jesus is not God.** Even Jesus himself rejected this. God has said: (Indeed, they have disbelieved who have said: "God is the Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary." The Messaih said: "Children of Israel, worship God, my Lord and your Lord. Whoever associates partners in worship with God, the God has forbidden Paradise for him, and his home is the Fire (Hell). For the wrongdoers, there will be no helpers."
God is not a trinity, God has said: (Indeed, they disbelieve who say: "God is the third of three (in a trinity)," when there is no god but one God. If they desist not from what they say, truly, a painful punishment will befall the disbelievers among them. Would they not rather repent to God and ask His forgiveness? For God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. The Massiah (Jesus), son of Mary, was no more than a messenger ...)
Muslims believe in the prophets and messengers of God, starting from Adam, including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob (Israel), Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them). But God's final message to man, a reconfirmation of the eternal message, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who is the last prophet sent by God, as God has said: (Muhammad is not the father of any one of your men, but he is the Messenger of God and the last of the prophets...)
All the prophets and messengers were created human beings who had none of the divine qualities of God.
God alone is the Almighty, the Creator, the Sovereign, and the Sustainer of everything in the whole universe. He manages all affairs. He stands in need of none of His creatures, and all His creatures depend on Him for all that they need. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing, and the All-Knowing. God is more merciful to His creatures than a mother to her child. God is far removed from injustice and tyranny. He is All-Wise in all of His actions and decrees. If someone wants something from God, he or she cas ask God directly without asking anyone else to intercede with God for him or her.
