What do you think of this?
"Muslims worship a different God.
Allah is simply the Arabic word for God. Allah for Muslims is the greatest and most inclusive of the Names of God, it is an Arabic word of rich meaning, denoting the one and only God and ascribing no partners to Him. It is exactly the same word which the Jews, in Hebrew, use for God (eloh), the word which Jesus Christ used in Aramaic when he prayed to God. God has an identical name in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; Allah is the same God worshiped by Muslims, Christians and Jews. Muslims believe that Allah's sovereignty is to be acknowledged in worship and in the pledge to obey His teaching and commandments, conveyed through His messengers and prophets who were sent at various times and in many places throughout history. However, it should be noted that God in Islam is One and Only.

He,
the Exalted, does not get tired, does not have a son ie Jesus or
have associates, nor does He have human-like attributions as found in
other faiths.

What I know is that the God that Jesus (PBUH) prayed to is the same one I pray to.

This is just wrong on so many levels but let's start with the most important one...God of the Christian Bible...the Old Testement is all about the history of the Jewish people and pointing the way to the Savior, Jesus Christ. He is the only way to God...you cannot be saved without belief in Jesus as your Savior.
CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY OF SALVATION
John 14:6
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me"
John 5:39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, Joh 5:40 yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.
Scriptures that point to Jesus as the Savior...

The difference is in the Trinity of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit as we believe in Christianity. Muslims and the Jewish people disagree with the second two.

Yes, I am aware of this. I find it interesting that each of the religions has had a war of it's own against the other some time in history. I guess it helps to purge the nonconformists from time to time. I haven't done any home work on this, but it would be interesting to know how many casualties can be attributed to each religion in the name of god.

Wrong. God has many names in the Bible. El, Elohyim, El Shaddai, Jehovah, Jehovah Tsidkenu, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Shalom, Adonai and etc.
Eloyhyim is indicative of plurality in the Godhead so it is not the same as the Muslim Allah. Even the Jewish scholars will acknowledge this.

Yes. I am aware. I'm also aware that God is the same for everyone from Atheist to Zoroastrians. God is all and is the power behind everything in the universe.
What? Atheists don't believe in God? When they acknowledge the balance, power or ultimate provability/repeatability of science theories....they see God too.

I asked something similiar. As far as I know it is the same God. You call him Allah I call him Yahweh or God. Same thing.
The only difference is we view Jesus as the son of God.
Some in my faith believe Jesus is God but I don't really think so. He never said he was God. Just that he was his son. There are verses where people try to spin to make it that way but I'm not convinced.
I think the elevation of Jesus as God is what has caused a lot of problems in history.
So - we are kin.

I've alwyas found it odd that Muslims, Christians and Jews worship the same God, but they fight eachother more than anyone else.

what i have studied there is no good evidence that allah is Arabic for the God of the Bible .This is just not so . allah was the name of the moon god. If you study the Quran and the bible they contradict one another on many points. Allah is not the same as the I Am of the Bible.
