Muslims are quick to claim that Allah and God of the Jewish and Christian People are the same and that Allah simply means God in Arabic But are they?
Turns out, Allah originated as a pre-Islamic pagan Arab god, al-ilah—Allah is merely a contraction. In fact, Muhammad’s father AbdALLAH and Muhammad himself, Muhammad ibn AbdALLAH, both had pagan names. Muhammad wasn’t very original and didn’t start worshipping Allah his one god until much later in life when he learned about monotheism from the Jews and Christians
Aside from the pagan origin of Allah, does Allah have a son? Ask Muslims this question and watch their heads explode! Absolutely not, for Muslims. Ask them if Allah has a Jewish son and your head may explode!
So far, Allah isn’t stacking up too well with God!
As regards Jews, Allah in the Koran turns Jews into apes and pigs Would God of Israel do such a vile thing? Absolutely not!
Would God of Israel have sanctioned Muhammad’s massacre of the Jews and selling Jewish children and women into slavery? Of course not! Would God of Jews and Christians have ordered the expulsion of Jews and Christians from Arabia, as Muhammad did guided by Allah? No!
Regarding both Jews and Christians, would God of the Jews and Christians order Muslims not to befriend Jews and Christians as Allah does in the Koran? Would God call Jews and Christians “worst of creatures” as Allah does in the Koran? Would God say Jews and Christians should be destroyed, as Allah says in the Koran?
No, no, and no.
As much as Muslims desperately seek legitimacy as latecomers by latching onto God of the Bible and insisting God of the Bible and Allah of the Koran are the same, they are absolutely different.
