I belive that other languages would have diffrent words than we do. So we would not call God the same thing, yet he is still god. And we may still worship diffrently, and both be correct, and both please God.

When you say ' sky' and I use the arabic word for it 'sama' ,does that mean we're talking about different skies?
'Allah' isn't a Moon God or the god of the Arabs like many claim..people who go around saying that..please stop the non-sense and get your facts right. Allah is just the Arab word for GOD..so yes..Arab Christians and Arab Jews will use the word Allah when referring to God. For eg,while English speaking christians say "God is love",Arabian Christians always say "Allah mahaba-translating God is love"
When a French person says "Mon Dieu"(My God),do you go around saying he doesn't worship God,he worships something else called 'Dieu'-(When you don't know that Dieu is just french for God).
The same thing goes for prophet names (peace be upon them all)..Joseph in Arabic for eg is called "yousef", solomon "sulaiman" ,David "Dawood" etc.
Ofcourse we have different beliefs..Muslims honour and believe in Jesus (Issa -in arabic) as a prophet and messenger of God (Allah),but not as his son.We honour Mary (Mariyam) the virgin.She's mentioned as one of the most virtuous,chaste women and there's a chapter (Surah) in Qu'ran by her name. I am sure though,that behind all of our religions is a call for peace,tolerance and understanding not evil and hatred.There's a major fear of others and lack of communication which is holding all of us back (no matter what belief we belong to)
That was really a good question,thanks for posting it.

I don't believe they are different, they both are from the same source.
I don't know where people get this Idea about Allah being Baal or that Baal had anything to do with the moon.
It is just untrue. Baal was A god from the mountains and was the storm god, the Son of the great god El.
Which is the same root word that the hebrews used to refer to god in the old testament.
When the bible in Genesis refers to the Elohim it is refering to El and El's children. The creation myth originated in the same culture from the place called Mesopotamia by greeks, Babylon, or Iraq now.
I have no idea why morita keeps repeating what he should as a Christian know to be untrue.
here is wikipedia on ba'al

Don't know about the Gods but the belief systems are radically different and in the Jewish/Christian belief system the 10 commandments (not found in the Quran or Islam) say YOU WILL PUT NO GOD BEFORE ME.
I would say Allah no sonner than I'd say Yewah or Jehovah!
It is GOD, plain and simple. The same God I've known since I was batpized and schooled.
The GOD who has NO NAME.
The creator of all (that ain't in the Quran either).

Absoslutely Not the same God. The Christian God of the Bible is the Great God Jehovah(Jesus). The God of Islam is Allah. Now get this right people, Jehovah never ever changed His name to Allah.

They are both the God of abraham, so yes.
Christians do not know this because the merchant class who profits through war has made a large effort to spread a lie about Islam
I am a christian and read both the Bible and now the Qu'ran.
Another big lie is about the character of Mohamed. Even if he did all that they say I wonder that they would refuse to listen to Mozarts music if they knew he was full of lust and immaturity. God uses who he will and the message is what it is read ti. Persecuting the messenger does not make the message invalid.

Then you should know that the Christian god is Jesus and the Father Zeus and the holy spirit, the dove of the baptism.
Yahweh is what Christians dont know anything about.
Go worship your Sun God on Sunday and the New Sun at the Winter Solstice and the thirteen gods of the trinity and feel happy with the Fire hovering over your head.
AMEN!

I realize that diffeent religions have different names for God, but I don't believe the Muslims can be worshiping the same loving God I do because they murder in Allah's name. They believe that if they are martyrs (suicide bombers) they will have 72 virgins waiting for them in heaven. I believe they have found a different "God" to worship....one who accepts violence and murder in his name.I am a Christian and am very accepting of other people's beliefs. I am fine with people believing whatever they want to believe but I don't believe they are worshiping the same God I do.

They are not the same God, The TRUE God reconise Jesus has his son, Islam god does not believe that, they think that Jesus was only a messenger or prophet & nothing else, Muslims also believes that Mohhamed is the only one to listern to or learn from. You say you are a Christian, I am too, WE know that the bible says God seeks those who Worship him in spirit & in truth(singular term) There is ONE TRUTH ONE FAITH ONE BAPTISM, & he that worship God must worship him in SPIRIT & IN TRUTH(Singular term) & not in any way we want to, & also NOT IN SPIRITS & TRUTHS, (PLURAL TERM)

No they are definately not one and the same god. There are lots of people who would like you and I to believe that they are the same god but they are not. You cannot deny the life, death and resurection of Christ and claim to be worshipping the same God. There is but one God who so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son.... any other god does not love the world and anyone who professes a god who did not send his one and only son...is something evil!
