well i dont believe they are the same thing cause i believe in God but dont believe in Aallah. Cause Allah pertains to the muslim faith and im a Christian.
I think its all in what your faith is.
Nah, I think the question was purposely phrased ambiguously to arouse some heated repsonses...
If you've noticed people are really responding to two different questions:
1. Does "Allah" and "God" mean the same thing? (talking speficially about the word and nothing else).
2. Is the God of Christians and Muslims the same God? (talking about the different religious beliefs)
lol, it's the same thing everytime. At least every other month there's some kinda religious topic that stirs debate... (atheism, sins, and so on)...

Yeah, it just seems like people are interpreting the question in different ways.
I think they're the same simply because God and Allah are both higher beings that people believe in place their faith in. But of course when you get into the specifics of each with respect to their religion that takes it to another level.

Pretty much...
Yea that's on point. 1. is a basic question and 2. is a basic question but I think people are tryn to fuse 1 & 2 together therefore making it confusing.
i ain't bowing down to no allah...and i ain't reading his coloring book "the quran" either...
they ain't the same thing if you know islam's beginnings...muhammad was a raider...not a peaceful man, but a raider from the get go who stole spices, gold, ect from all the little persian villegees he conquered...allegedly he and his men rapped women beheaded, ect ect the villeges that they bl;azed through...
yeah to athiest (like thunderstruck) allah and God are the same thing...just like God and Buddah are the same things, God and mother nature are the same things..ect ect...
but i warn Christians that allah is some **** in the breeze that was invented by some raider named muhammad who used islam to unite the people he and his buttbuddies conquered...he basically tore a page out of the torah and the bible and then made some junk up...
and then he put some crap in the quran about "join or die"...notice the way islam was spread through **** from the get go? how can you say no when you got a towelhead on a camel with a gun in your face? they used the "join or die" part of islam to unite the folk that they conquered...
they ain't the same thing and i ain't bowing to no allah...i'd rather walk around with a pair of missjazzyaka's drawers on my head after she'd just got through with b ball...:???:
christians, this whole WE ALL WORSHIP THE SAME GOD trip is RELAVATISM! i'm warning yall that muhammad was one of dem "fasle prphet" cats that Jesus was warnin everybody about....
want proof? look at his fruit.
brb with more info...:???:>>>>
*sigh*
I learned a long time ago never go back and forth about religion because it is a **** end argument. No one will agree.
I will say what I feel and will not debate it. Perhaps other religions think they have the same God as me, but my God says Jesus Christ is his son. And no man comes to God except through Christ. Now if all those other religions want to believe that my God says differently we are serving two different Gods

chirstians read...this is from a net source....the stuff i was trying to telll you but couldn't because you know how scatterbrained i am...i keep repeating it since cafe described me that way...
First, in Islam, Allah (God) is utterly unknowable. To think in terms of a God who can be known and who desires a relationship with his creatures is actually considered blasphemous. He is a distant God who is to be feared. In place of relationship, there is only submission. Allah only reveals his will, not himself, hence the Muslim practice of ritual prayers. These memorized prayers are offered five times a day to appease a transcendent force with no personal interest in his creatures.
Contrast that with the God of the Bible, who reveals himself, knocks at the door of our heart, and encourages us to enter in to an ever-increasing relationship with him. He calls us his "friends" (John 15:15).
Second, Islam requires a strict adherence to good works as the means to reach heaven. At birth people are considered sinless with unlimited spiritual potential if they faithfully adhere to the teachings of Allah, as reflected through the words of the prophet Mohammed. It's good works that open the doors to one of the seven different levels of heaven. But there's no advocate to intercede with Allah when one falls short of the level of good works required.
In Christianity, it's only through the blood of Jesus Christ that we are in relationship with God and given the promise of eternal life. Good works spring out of that gift of relationship with God through Jesus; they aren't the means to the relationship.
Third, while Islam recognizes Jesus as a prophet, it rejects his divinity, and claims that Mohammed is actually the superior prophet from God. He is the one considered to have brought God's final revelation. The Koran (3:59-60) says that Jesus was, like Adam, created from dust.
Contrast that with Jesus' own claim that he is the only way to God (John 14:6), and that he and God the Father are one (John 10:30). Jesus' divinity and reflection as the final revelation of God are central to what it means to follow him.
