Why does the Bible which Islam accepts as Gods word never use Allah as His name, but YAWEH...

I appreciate that Muslims believe that Allah is the God of everyone, just as I believe that God is everyone's. Allah is not my God though. He is your God and the god or Muslims, but not of Christians, or for that matter any other religion, and to say so is actually offensive. Why is Allah not speaking to me, why is my God speaking to me? Why does Christianity have a real meaning in my life, where Islam means nothing to me? And I hate to bring this up, but I don't see Islam as too an attractive religion right now, for reasons we don't need to mention. What is to stop me from being brainwashed, as I think we will all agree that is what it is, brainwashing. If I am going to convert to Islam, I would know nothing about it, so I would have to belief what I am told, and I think we all know that that could be a very dangerous thing (notice I say could).
Anyway, I'm baffled by you saying that you don't have a special God. My God is the most special thing in my life, my best friend. I'm afraid you're not doing too great a job at converting me. Thanks for letting me know, but next time try and be a little friendly, by saying " don't you know that" is a little accusatory and patronising, which is definitely not a good thing in the R&S section.

Proof, we need irrevocable, undeniable,
demonstrable proof. Threats of violence do not count. Discourse is the preferred civilized method. Islam is just like the others in that only
faith is what you really have.
Maybe, we ought to arrange for Jehovah, Allah
and all other Gods to have a smackdown, winner take all. The losers to be banished forever and a day.
None of The Gods are demonstrably provable.

who are you? are you a muslim hater, trying to incite more animosity?
or are you muslim and you truly believe that? the first part of your statement is right, but the second part no. don't you know that God has no name? and that Allah is not a name, but the arabic equivalent of God?
all this religious hatred and conflict throughout history arises from one thing only: the belief that my God is better than yours.

A gay Muslim? Interesting. What does Allah have to say about that?
Anyway, this is just an inflammatory message. If you really wanted to convert people you would have been more persuasive. IMHO, Muhammed was a warlord/philosopher who maligned the Bible for his own purposes.

For those (SISTER FIRE in particular here) who say we Muslims believe in moon-god, please don't make yourselves look so stupid, really. Only ignorant will say that, it shows how narrow minded you are. Go and read the first page of Quran and you will know how wrong you are.

Allah-O-Ak-BAR! If you ain't gotta a BAR, then use a SPADE!
Allah OWE Akbar! Allah should therefore repay Akbar!
Allah is the name for a mesapotomian MOON GOD!

1. Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
2. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;
3. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;
4. And there is none like unto Him.
255. Allah. There is no god but He,-the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede in His presence except as He permitteth? He knoweth what (appeareth to His creatures as) before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He willeth. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and He feeleth no fatigue in guarding and preserving them for He is the Most High, the Supreme (in glory).

My God's name is not allah, His name is the great I AM, Lord, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Yahweh, El Roi, Abba, Father, Jehovah Rapha. This list goes on and on, you see my God can not be contained by a simple one word name. like yours.

Suuuure. You go right ahead and keep thinking that. As long as you just keep it to thinking we won;t have a problem.
Prove that your god exists. Prove that he/she/it has a desire to communicate with humanity. Prove that your book, to the exclusion of all others, is that message.
BTW: Use facts, please. Opinions are cheap.
