God treats you as you perceive God. If you see God as dangerous, you are in danger. If you see God as a loving compassionate friend, than you have a great friend in God.

The idea of one supreme God as such is not dangerous. But you are right that it is dangerous to think that this God has the mentality of a dictator who doesn't tolerate other views.

No, not at all. It is reasonable for many to believe that there is one true God. And most faiths teach that.
The danger lies only with those who wish to use violence to enforce their beliefs. It will not matter whether they believe in religion or not, whether it's religion or communism, or whatever, there are ALWAYS those who wish to dominate.
They claim to kill in the name of Allah etc, but most of those people practise their faith and are abiding citizens as with anybody else. The fanatics are misuing and abusing their belief and twisting doctrine to suit an agenda.
Nobody has the right to use force on another, no matter WHAT they believe. But people can definitely share what they believe and defend what they believe, which shows a person is sincere in their belief, serious and passioniate. Nothing wrong in that, but when it reaches the point where the fanatics move in (as they do in MANY areas and organsiation), this gives it all a bad name, and then gives those free reign in blaming religion for the world's woes, instead of looking at the fanatics down throughout history in ALL areas of life and beliefs. communism included.
These people are the problem.

Monotheism is not one bit more logical than polytheism. There simply isn't anymore evidence in anyway, shape, or form that monotheist teachings are any more true or any less false than those of polytheist religions. This is true irregardless of which brand of monotheism is being considered, whether it be Islam, Judaism, Christianity or one of the smaller sects.
That having been said, the Allah-cult is innately more dangerous than the others because of the extraordinary emphasis placed on violence in it's core teachings. In it's classic, scripturally-prescribed form, it is fundamentally incompatible with the ideals of cultural diversity and peaceful coexistance.
Claims to the contrary by Muslim apologists are simply lies....

It's what Christian's Believe and teach also. Although I do think there is only one God I am sure he is tolerant of everyone's views and it is more about having a "good soul" so to speak, or a "kind heart". Than other things.

He loves each little thing he creates. He also supplies people loose will and a decision to verify the right direction or perhaps as human beings change into depraved and bypass astry and do evil deeds like kill and rape and metallic etc... he hates them. common God loves the strong and hates (and that i do recommend hate) the evil human beings. He would not desire one human being over yet another muslim or not yet in our religon muslims are compelled to wish and delivers charity Its troublesome to do undesirable and evil issues once you're wondering about and praying to God 5 cases an afternoon...daily.

Islam is not the only religion which is teaching about supreme God.. if you analize every religious scriptures are telling us the same thing i.e. to believe in one supreme God..
anyway.......... where there is firm believe there will not be any danger.. because............... if we believe then our life of this world will only for practising good human values pray to God.. prostorate before God..
and obey HIM..
so that we will get heaven ....... otherwise hell........ and i don't anyone like to burn in Hell...

why is Specifically Islam's teaching dangerous ? I believe its called Monotheism . Read all about it and Other theisms and *isms (nationalism , capitalism Communism etc etc ) research and learn before making a declaration .

Have you actually read the Q'uran?
Islam is a beautiful religion, and I HIGHLY recommend Sufism (the mystical branch of Islam)
The problem with islam today is that the literalists are trying to hijack the religion of Islam the same way the literalists hijacked Christianity 1,500 to 1,700 years ago!
