I'm always amazed at how often Christians and Jews are lectured that the Muslims worship the same God as we do, a statement born out of sheer ignorance and theological illiteracy. The main reason for their argument? Because the word "allah" is used for God in Arabic.
But their allah isn't God, or God is put in a very troubling predicament. To believe so is to believe that God ordered the destruction of Medina, the slaughter of the Jews, and a bloody campaign to convert people by the sword.
But theologically we run into far more difficulty. To say that allah is God and Muhammad is his prophet is to take a giant step backward in how God relates to man. It erases the New Covenant completely and reverts us to a time when men were ruled by religious law and God was inaccessible except by one priest once a year. It's saying that after initiating the Covenant of Grace by which people come freely to God through Jesus Christ, having their sins forgiven through his blood, and becoming saved by faith, not by religious works, God decided to scrap a new and better Covenant and return to the old Covenant with it's inability to save, for the blood sacrifice of animals cannot save unless completed by the work of Christ. The entire book of Hebrews was written to explain in detail why the Old Covenant was insufficient and the New Covenant was far better in every way.
So is allah God? No, he's actually Satan. The oppression of the Muslim religion on its people, its neighbors, on women, and on the world from its 7th century inception to today strikes a very familiar chord. A just God is incapable of the atrocities of Islam, but Satan isn't.
So let's be clear, allah is not God, and one day God will crush allah underfoot and destroy the evil religion of Islam.
