It is clear that you do believe in Jehovah since you NEVER lash out at allah , just the GOD of the Jews and Christians. There is hope for you yet.

No,"hon" the Two are definately NOT the same!
If you do not think the god of Islam hasn't been "shoved" down your throats,you obviously have not seen the news in years. What would you call Jihad if not a blatant and absolute "shoving"?

Well said - they do lash out at Muslims but not at Allah.
Yet they lash out at both Christians, Jesus and our God.
P.S. She did specify "God of the Christians" not just God. The difference being that the Muslim god somehow condones Mohummad's violence and self-serving life.

So you're saying that believing in Allah is the same as believing in Jehovah? So logically, all Christians and Jews are really just Muslims who need to spend a bit more time reading the Quran, right?
Or are you trying to make some sort of distinction between God and Jehovah? Its this kind of fuzzy thinking that puts me off religions in general.

The term "Allah" simply means "the [one] god", implying a single Almighty deity merely reminiscient of the Judeo-Christian "Yahweh" / "Jehovah". However, it is significant that "Allah" is clearly NOT a personal name, while the Hebrew Tetragrammaton clearly *IS* a personal name for Almighty God.
It's not exactly wrong to call the Almighty by the impersonal "God", just as it's not wrong to call one's offspring "Child". Faithful men of the Holy Scriptures used both "God" and a form of "Jehovah" when they referred to and addressed the Almighty. However, the term "Allah" seems intended specifically to reject Judeo-Christian spiritual heritage.
If we want a familiar and close relationship, it makes sense to use the personal name of someone we love. The Scriptures encourage us to use God's personal name.
The Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) does seem to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.
The important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”, especially if you speak Hebrew. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".
(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth
(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them

You are misusing this forum, as you do not ask a question, but merely make a statement of your own beliefs.
In the interests of balance, I will supply an equivalent nonsensical answer:
Nobody ever lashes out at haggis or black pudding, therefore they must be God.

As far as I knew the Muslim, Jewish, and Christian god were all the same. The three faiths can have their roots traced clear back to Abraham.
Oh. What's that? Don't want to associate your god with the Islamic god?
Shallow much?

Christians, Jews, and Muslims all have the same God. For unification purposes, we refer to this God as the God of Abraham. Abraham was the patriarch of Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Through Isaac, we have Christians and Jews. Through Ishmael, we have Muslims.

oh i do. but the reason that most people don't is because the muslims haven't decided that they can trample the constitution and shove their religion down everyone else's throats
