The love of Allah

You got it twisted Christianity rely on blind obedience and Islam is based on faith. The average Christian does not know his religion and is taught to only to believe. A Muslim is taught that he must not only believe in one God, but support his beliefs with "actions" not by just words. How can you tell if a person loves you? By their words or their actions? In Christianity it is by words and in Islam it is both. This is the greatest love of Allah:

2:62. Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.

This proves the Allah is the one and only universal God. Both the Jews and Christians have a tribal god that only permits them into heaven. The Muslim have a God that welcomes any who believes in God, the last day, and work righteousness. This is true love.
