HaShem and Allah NOT the same

Basically, the true God of the Bible is an up-close-and-personal loving god who wants a relationship with humans--but who will discipline them when they go astray. He personified Himself to take away their sin--incidentally, this can also be proven through calculations strictly from the Old Testament books of:

• Daniel (9:24-27, prophecy of 70 weeks)
• Nehemiah chapter 1 (timing of command to build and restore Jerusalem--calculated as March 15, 445 BC)--leading to Messiah's entry into Temple was April 6, 30 AD
• Book of Isaiah

By contrast, Allah whom Muslims worship is actually a capricious, dictatorially oppressive--and their book contains multiple errors:

• the claim that "Allah would not allow His great prophet" to suffer death, and that Judas was substituted on at last minute (historical error, as Judas Ish-Korot committed suicide, and also shows their "Allah" to be capricious)
• claim Alexander the Great (from which the common Muslim name Iskander is derived) was a devout long-lived Muslim an idea which violates many facts, amongst these:
  • Alexander was actually a Yugoslav (born in Skopje) Macedonian, who basically followed the Ancient Greek (idolatrous) religion, and died of ague shortly before his 33rd birthday
  • No other religion claims to have been around prior to its founder's birth (Mohammed was born in 570 AD and kicked bucket in 632 AD), a rather obvious absurdity beyond the comprehension of most Muslims

The truth of Islam can actually be exposed by reading the works of India's first Law Minister (and architect of its constitution) Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar. His view of Islam was that it was a religion "worse in its record on Sub-continent than Hinduism"--extremely significant when you consider that Ambedkar, a dalit ("untouchable"), was certainly no fan of Hinduism ("...this religion which separates an entire group of people from even the commerce of touch should only be termed INFAMY").
