If you do not have any religious teaching you will not realize that the Muslim faith came from the sons of Abraham. Abraham was one of GODS Chosen leaders and his son ishmael stared muslim religion. THE SAME GOD OF JESUS.

Jesus is the Son of GOD and Jesus too realizes that Muslims worship the same GOD the GOD of Abraham.

Because, they believe that just because He is called "God" in Arabic (Allah) and not English, He is a different God.
Jewish people believe in the same God too.
The difference? Christ, Mohammad, and the Messiah that is yet to come.
Contrary to what someone else said, they taught us a good deal about other religions at our church, and how they differed.

Sorry, not the same. My God is Yahweh the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one. ( 1 John 5:7)
You say that allah is the arabic word for God, but it is also the word used for the crescent moon god that sat on the kaba before the birth of the muslim faith. One of 350 different tribal gods worshipped there.
Unless you agree that Jesus Christ is God, the second part of the Trinity, than we do not worship the same God.

Perhaps a better question would be, "Do Christians and Muslims both have a correct understanding of what God is like?" To this, the answer is a definitely no. There are several crucial differences between the Christian and Muslim concepts of God. Both faiths cannot be correct. I believe that Christianity has the correct view of God because there can be no salvation unless sin is paid for. Only God could pay such a price. Only by becoming a human being could God die on our behalf, paying the penalty for our sins.

Because Christians believe that Jesus is the Word who was with God and who was God, not some prophet who was only a man. Since we worship Jesus as God obviously we don't worship the same "god" as Muslims.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made....14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Each and every single American Christian I know does realize that Muslims and Christians (and Jews) share the God of Abraham, the God of Moses, the God represented in the Old Testament.
It is in the revelation of Jesus Christ that they differ, and with that the concept of redemption.
So America Christians believe they share the same God, but they also believe that it is necessary to believe in Jesus Christ for redemption.

Why should American Christians not recognize that the Muslim God is the same God as theirs. They follow the God of Abraham. "There is One God and many ways to serve Him." Let everyone seek God as they choose.

Because they are not the same. The muslims believed in Jesus, but they thought that he was just a good man, and not a perfect, son of God.

That's a good one. Even the various religious groups in America--christians, catholics, jews--all worship a different concept of god, and all are different than the muslim concept of a god. No way they are the same deity-- all are manmade and each is made in each believers' image, even within a religious sect, the god one person worships is often much different than the one another person worships.

Because it is not. Allah is an impersonal god and Muslims don't believe in a personal God nor do they believe in the trinity. If Christians don't believe that Jesus is also God, then they also are not worshipping the God. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. One God. Three personifications of God.

Because they don't get the fact that the Arabic word for God is Allah. They think that because Muslims pray to Allah, they are praying to a different God, like Buddhists follow Buddha. I think we need more education on this type of thing in our schools. People are very ignorant.

It is quite difficult to get two Christians to agree on even a few aspects what the Christian God is, or is not... How does one expect people of different faiths to agree?
