Allah is not the Christian God.

It is in the best interest of some to want us to think that the Islamic Allah is the same as the Christian God even though his words and his promises and his teachings are as far apart and as wide away from YAHWEH as the North Pole from the South Pole.

What differentiates Allah from the Christian God is Mohammad. Jesus is the Cornerstone and the Capstone for Christians. To believe in Allah you must believe that Mohammad is the messenger of Allah and his final prophet. To believe in Allah you must believe that Jesus is a prophet born by a human father and you must believe he did not die on the cross then return to us after three days.

I don't know what the Jewish People believe about Jesus it could vary, but I think they all agree he came from their bloodline so therefore is a Son of Israel. I don't think the Jewish People believe that Mohammad is a messenger from YWHA and the final prophet. That could be one of the reasons why there is conflict between the two peoples. I believe that Mohammad wanted to be accepted by the Jewish People as a religious man and when they refused the enmity began or it gave Mohammad an excuse to fight them and kill them.

And finally people well say many things to stay alive and a person might say the Allah and God are the same just to stay alive since Islam was spread by the sword with permission from it's founder Mohammad.
