Nice article...however

This is another attempt at a meeting of the minds for inter-faith dialog. However, The Christian God is not the Muslim allah in many ways. For example:

1) The Jewish and Christian God denoted as "elohim" denotes plurality. The singular form for "elohim" is "elowah."

2) The Christian God is a triunity of distinct persons yet one God. Islam declares that their god has no son. The Apostle John in his first letter describes the spirit of anti-christ as the denial of the Son of God.

3) The foundation of the Christian faith is love. You won't find the word "love" in the index of the Qur'an. When love is absent then strife, hate, and pre-mature death fill the void. Thus are the attributes of the Islamic world.
