Lots of Muslims act stupidly.
That doesn't mean Allah is stupid.
Mohammad lived in a primitive (violent, women not valued as other than chattel, etc.) place and time.
That the Archangel Gabriel gave Truth to Prophet Mohammad is no more surprising than God gave a word to a donkey in Hebrew times, or to Jesus in Messianic times.
Many Muslims are claiming their way is best, and ought be enforced on others. This may be true, but it is more likely that such believers are acting like similar Jews and Christians before them--demanding their way be recognized as the best, etc.
The only thing worse than a religious fanatic, other things being equal, is a godless fanatic, for the Scriptures do tie one's consciousness, awareness, and behavior to Truth, while the Godless are fools for claiming to know there is "no God."
If nothing else, Mohammad's dictations indicate that Abraham is a true Prophet, and that Jesus is the Messiah. Those two points are two points which are credible for Jews, and Christians. Mohammad, at the end of his life, stood in the Presence of Jesus, and called Him "brother," which He was (and is). Jesus said the only Good is God, which is Truth. "I Am the Way" is the name of God as true Lightness of Being, which permits Jew, Christian, and Muslim to agree on what saves--God.
Mohammad noted that there would be about 72 sects of Islam, each claiming to be True, and only one would be so. That alone should give any Muslim pause for claiming "true belief."
God is Good, and Allah is recorded as recognizing Abraham is a true Prophet of God, and Jesus is His Messiah. All other points ought be judged at their level. To do so requires letting "this Mind abide in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." Hence, few Jews, Christians, or Muslims ought speak about Truth, until and unless they have that Mindfulness, for anything less is man's opinion, theological reasoning, etc..

Mm-hmm. Thats why the Protestant Reformation rolled around. The Catholic church made up err, "stupid", if i will call it that, suggestions. a suitable occasion is INDULGENCES. So, the Catholic church as quickly as had this theory that there replaced right into a close-by between heaven and hell. based upon how a lot a individual had sinned, they might stay in "purgatory" for x quantity of years. Then they have been given this shiny theory; why no longer sell little scrolls that cut back a while in purgatory for an extremely extreme cost? and of direction, stupid little peasants offered into this, and wasted a lot of money. properly, hardly wasted... It geared up an excellent Cathedral, through fact the Pope had wAsTeD each and all the country's money on vast events. And basically how did they be able to try this? the important ingredient replaced into, as you're saying, "interpretation" of the scripture. to place it bluntly; the Bible replaced into in LATIN and purely latin. carry on a minute; do you think of a time-honored Joe like your self ought to envision Latin? I recommend an un-knowledgeable, grovelling peasant in Europe around 500 years in the past... Hmm, sounds quite fishy to me.....! regarding the money... prepared faith does not consistently carry approximately corruption. in actuality, the international's greatest poverty relief team (international imaginative and prescient, a.ok.a. "Da Afrika Corps") is an prepared non secular... err... organization... Oh, and the soup kitchen... And no, it relatively is not appropriate in case you worship in or outdoors of a church. I ts basically which you get loose coffe after the sermon, eh...

It may sound sacrilegious but I believe that Allah, God, Jehovah, Buddha, and whatever the Hindu god's name also all other gods on this planet are all the same god. An Omnipotent being who looks at us and gets a big laugh at how stupid we are for arguing over who or what He/She is and how to worship. When we are like a culture in a specimen plate that can be flushed at any second. It won't make a hill of beans difference to this being.

I am a Christian, and, therefore, I don't believe Allah is a deity.
Regardless, because I enjoy a good debate, I would suppose that followers of Islam believe that Allah is the creator of humanity -- so, would most followers of Islam call that "good"?

Well I suppose, Islam, like the other religions give most of their adherents some sort of spiritual peace. Beyond that, I really don't see any positive things that muslims have brought into the world. Peace.

I can't, or wouldn't even try to prove her wrong. I am proud to say that I live in the USA, where each person has the freedom of their own religious beliefs. Whether I agree with her or not, she has the right to her beliefs.

Sorry, I don't care enough about what your friend thinks to even bother. Why do you?
EDIT: Umm, Daniel? Jesus didn't fulfill any of the actual Jewish prophecies, so might want to be careful about pointing fingers at other people's prophets who also didn't fulfill a prophecy. Remember that there is no "second coming" in Judaism, Jesus failed.

Well I myself do not follow Islam and honestly I do not believe one word of the religion or the Quran however Allah is just another name for God. There are so many different names for God in every different religion.

Just because of the actions of some Muslims doesn't make the religion bad. A vast majority (Over 99.99%) have good intentions and dislike the terrorists. Islam is very similar to Christianity.

Allah is the same God as the Christian God. It's the religion and it's followers that have been the problem.
