Christians believe in one God, in three parts, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
Muslims do not accept this belief, believing that Jesus was only a prophet and that there is no Holy Spirit.
No, they are not the same.

The most obvious thing is the Christian view of Jesus. You can say that the resurrection of Jesus establishes Him as the Son of God. If thats true, then all other faith systems can't be true as they assert something else.
I think things get down to a knowing of God. An example would be like an child and his mother. The mother cares for him and so forth but that child doesn't know his mom near as well then as he will at 18 and beyond as more and more is revealed. I think that as more and more is revealed our understanding grows with it. But God cannot be placed in a box and we will not have full understanding in this life, "His ways are higher than our ways." Isaiah 55:8-9

I find that different religions focus on a different aspect of the same God. Christians focus on God as love and source of all good in creation; secular philosophers/humanists focus on God as truth and the good will or greater good of humanity; Buddhists on the Kingdom of God as Wisdom (and compassion for all as the equivalent of being Christlike); and Islam on "Allah" as "God Almighty." "Allah" is all powerful, all beneficent and merciful to all, but I have heard it explained if the mercy of God is taken to such an extreme in the absence of love and the Holy Spirit, that is why it can become disastrous in the wrong hands.
I don't understand this because the Muslim followers I happen to know are very much guided by the Holy Spirit and live daily in the spirit of charity, love and respect for all, so my perception is different based on my experience here in America.
I do see an emphasis of "Allah" as "Almighty" abused by political militants who take the military strategies of Mohammed (who was both a military leader and a spiritual/religioys leader) out of context to such an extreme that their violent actions contradict Koran teachings about spiritual peace among all people of the Book (Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike).
I believe this is more a political problem, that it would be the equivalent of taking U.S. military orders out of context on the battlefield and applying these to charitable activities run by the church. The problem I see among the Muslim population is that there is no centralized authority or organized way to check and balance the interpretations and actions of sects within the faith. I have heard that Muslim authorities and organizations are working to set up a conference to coordinate a centralized system, but do not know of their latest progress.

Absolutely not!
The Christian "ideal" of God is "God in three persons, without any difference of inequality". That is not just an ideal...that is God's very Nature.
Belief in "Allah" denies the Holy and Most Blessed Trinity...the very nature of God, and "the Word (logos) who became flesh and dwelt among us, and the Holy Spirit that proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified..."

The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob (the god of the Jewish people), "God the Father", the God of the Christians, and Allah(the God of Islam) is the same entity.
All three religions fall under the "Abrahamic Religion" umbrella

It is clear to me that Mohammad taught a different God than has been reveled to us through the Holy Scripture.
Genesis 1:26
And God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Isa 44:6
Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
Isa 54:5
For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
Islam says that Jesus and the Holy Spirit are not God.. Therefore, since we Christians say they are, we do not share the same God.... Jim

peace be upon you.
yes, Allah/God is perfect and He sent down the relevations again and again to mankind through Torah, Psalm, Gospel and Quran. They are reminders that men keep forgetting.
So again, to answer your question, Allah is perfect that His revelations are good in all 4 scriptures but human interpretations and pride involved in the interpretations that made them clashed.
Allah knows best.
peace.

For the umpteenth time,no.No.No.If that were true,every Islamic believing Muslim would have both books by their side.Plus,they deny Jesus deity.That alone raises red flags for millions of Christian's world wide.It might be a whole nother story if they believed Jesus was the true resurrected son of God.

Allah and God are the same. The first 5 books of both bibles are the same. They do start to differ around the time Abraham was about to crucify Isaac <--according to our bible and it's Ishmael in the Koren.

There is only one God, the God of Adam, of Abraham, of Moses, of Jesus, and of Mohammed. (Peace be upon them all)
God is not chaos.
I don't understand the rest of your question.
