There is only one God. One of us is getting it wrong.
To be technically, logically, and rationally correct, by definition there can be only one God.
Now your manifestation or belief can characterize that god differently, but there can only be one god.
“No man comes to the Father but by Jesus” (John 14:16).
Unless a Muslim has received the Lord Jesus Christ, he worships a false god called allah.
How do you recognize the difference?
Well one way is realizing what Jesus said, “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30) and “If you had known me, you should have known my Father also. [H]e that has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:7,9). In other words, Jesus showed us what God the Father was like.
Did Jesus go around threatening, condemning, killing, and beheading people? No he showed love and compassion, healing and restoring everyone who came to him. So that is what God the Father is like. God is love and he heals, restores, has compassion, gives his only Son to die for people.
Who steals, kills and destroys? Jesus told us it is the devil, the murderer and thief, who does that. He said, “You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it” (John 8:44).
So Muslims worship Satan. Jesus showed the contrast between himself and the Muslim god when he said, “The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).
Always look to Jesus to see what God is like.
doen not equal
the god of Islam's relationship with humanity.
Period.
If Baal is god, follow him; if the Lord is God, follow Him.
I’ve heard that somewhere and thought I’d share it (wonder where??? /s). All paths do not lead to the same place and all gods are not the one true God. See the commandments God gave Moses, 1 through 4.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee;
holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,
casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
who wert and art and evermore shalt be.
Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,
though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see,
only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
perfect in power, in love, and purity.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth and sky and sea;
holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
Not only do they not worship the same God, the Islamic don’t even have the same respect for humans.
Look at the things they do to their men, women, and children.
This simply isn’t a religion. It’s a gutter mame and destroy death cult.
God told us quite a lot about himself. His words are recorded in the Bible.
Jesus told us a good deal more about Him during His time here among us.
Muslims worship a distant, bloodthirsty god who doesn’t care about individual human beings, or their souls. Who doesn’t see us as anything like His children. Who entices us with promises of an afterlife filled with sex and lust.
This sounds much more like Satan than the God of Abraham.
"I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people. That there are values that transcend race or culture, that move us forward, and there's an obligation for all of us individually as well as collectively to take responsibility to make those values lived."
Dr Michael Brown is spot on his analysis here. I thank him for his insightful analysis...it would not surprise me if he were a Freeper. Wife and I are currently reading his book on Hypergrace...look forward to reading more.

I think he picked that blather up from Oprah.
Who but Satan would have chosen a murdering, lying, bloodthirsty pedophile as his prophet?
Yes he is.
None but Lucifer.
Wrong.
There is only one god. Anyone who acknowledges the one God is talking about the same God.
The concept of God is different in these two religions. The concept in one of them is flawed, and so they describe God differently.
