Christianity is unique in that it has no provision for its adherents to engage in warfare. Those ostensible "Christians" who do so ignore the Scriptures and the teachings and example of Jesus Christ himself.
(Matthew 26:52) Jesus said to him: “Return your sword to its place, for all those who take the sword will perish by the sword
(Isaiah 2:4) They will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore.
(2 Corinthians 10:3-4) We do not wage warfare according to what we are in the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly
(Luke 6:27-29) I [Jesus] say to you who are listening, Continue to love your enemies, to do good to those hating you, to bless those cursing you, to pray for those who are insulting you. To him that strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also

Jehovah, God, and Allah were the same being the last time I checked...so fighting it out amongst each other would some sort of split personality battle.
And just for the record is isn't Jehovah, God and Allah that have a prolbem with each other...it's their respective fan clubs that are constatly doing thing and then trying to blame said deities for their actions, especially those God fans, they're the worst of the bunch after all They were the ones that started the Witch Trials, the spanish inquisition, the crusades...

Uh... they're actually all different names for the same god. Jehova and God are from different denominations of what is basically the same religion (Jehova is the name of God according to Witnesses, like Jesus is the name of the messiah), and Allah is the same god from a different, but related, religion (Muslims believe in Abraham, Jesus, and other people in the Bible). Also, none of these religions really allows the other to be true, but Buddah and Allah could fight, for example. And if they do, I'm pretty sure they'd at least put it on pay-per-view. At any rate, you seem to be talking about contrived human reasoning based in religion (although not very well in some cases) used to wage war.

Jehovah, God and Allah are one in the same. The irony of all of this strife in the Middle East is that Christians, Jews and Muslims pray to the same God--The God of Abraham in the Bible is the same as Allah in the Quran.
Allah and Jehovah (Yahweh) in Hebrew is the same word spoken with a different dialect / accent.

Indeed, but all three are one: the awful lawful God, on high, in plural divided law law heavens where it's the endless sides war of Hatfields vs McCoys, where even the McCoys feud among themselves over who's a real McCoy.
Above such law law is the higher God of all grace (no law at all) also called the God of all comfort (no discomfort at all).
BTW, don't ppl recovering from getting "high", to the point of harming themselves and other, afterward speak of a "higher" power to help them get over(above) such law law.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

God Jehovah can't fight something that does not exist.
A war is not a war without what? Troops.
There has NEVER been a war without troops.
You have been born into a spiritual army if you like it or not. You better hope you enlisted in the right one. The forced "draft" army, you ain't gonna like.

Jehovah is another name for god, There is only one true God, the creator of the universe, who sent Jesus Christ as our saviour, there is only one beginning, and unfortunately one ending for those who won't listen to the Lord now, because when our time comes and we will surely know, and see, and if we didn't listen now, we can't change our minds.

I subscribe to the Super Best Friends theory, which states that all the gods like each other, get along fine, and are actually working towards the same ends for humankind. It's just people who screw it up.

You have a false concept of God.
Yahweh Elohim is Ekd Yahweh. Allah is singular of Elohim.
The LORD God is One LORD.
