That's right, I am. Many of the important factors are there in terms of the nature of G-d. The main dividing factors are on what G-d actually said. But that doesn't make an idol per se.If the Jewish God is the only God than wouldn't Allah be an idol to a Jew? You are saying basically Allah is the same God.

Of course it does appear in the OT.
I said Matthew. Anyway, thats not relevant to this topic. Sorry for bringing it up.

Actually you are wrong there brother. The Muslim position is that we all worship God.
Just wondering who is the Servant you serve, just asking, you know to establish our positions. So to the question, Allah is a Moslem word, nothing to do with the Bible or historical history till the 5th century., so chew on that !
May you please elaborate? This is something of a sore spot and I would welcome some clarification on what is claimed.

Muslim position is detailed in the Quran. There is no deity but God. You can say it this way as well, There is no God but God.
Yes God is one, but when you say there is one God it does not represent the correct meaning of it. God is one.
Whenever anyone worships God its God we worship. Hope you understand. Unless we worship a human being, a creature, a rock, temple or something we can define like a man. Thats when the separation comes.
No matter what you call God, YHWH, El, Elohim, Adonai, Shaddai, Kadawul, Got, Here, Devi, Davous, what ever, its God.
Since you cant define God.
The God is one
There is nothing like him
Sure, Islam (the religion, not the abstract concept) is monotheistic.
How that would make all people worshippers of its God, though, it quite beyond me.
Apparently I do not. It sounds... quite weird really. As if someone terribly misunderstood the point of god-concepts and decided to lend it a whole lot more significance than it could ever support.
That is entirely self-contradictory, alas. As one approaches monotheism, there comes a necessary duty to accept that one has his or her own conception of deity and is ultimately betting on its accuracy.
Expecting others to by chance share of it is, at best, unwise.
Expecting everyone to.... is just weird really.

I make up facts.
What now? Jews, Christians, and Muslims all believe in the god of Abraham.
Eh. To make that statement true one would have to dilute the meaning of "belief in the same God" so much that you could say that inanimate objects believe in the same god as well.
Meaningful god-beliefs are about as personal entities as they come. One would be hard pressed to find even two Muslims who truly believe in the same God.

God is an English word, nothing to do with the Bible or historical history till the 11th century., so chew on that!
People claim all sorts of stuff.
The good part is that these different religions claim all sorts of different stuff that simply does not work together.
It would be ridiculous to believe that the deity said all sorts of stuff in Book 1 and then revised everything in Book 2 and 3. That's a really weird deity.

Every one Believes in the same God
However what we believe "About" him differs considerably.
Our scriptures, Dogmas and Practices also differ considerably.
There can be only one creator God
We know of only one creation.
There are many ways to worship God.
there are Infinite names of God.
Our individual beliefs have no effect on God.
We are all equal creatures of God
no matter what our beliefs.

Allah is an Arabic word. It means the god. Not a Muslim word. If you are an Arab you will call god Allah, even if you are Christian.
Allah is an Arabic word. There are Eastern Orthodox Christians whose first language is Arabic. They call God Allah.
