What this thread shows is that Christians are far more doctrinaire and fanatical than Muslims.
It takes an almost conscious and pernicious effort not to see this clearly. Eloh and Allah are very similar phonetically - are christians here claiming that the German god is not the same god because a different word in a different language is used to mean "god"?
Are christians so dogmatically stupid to think that the word "god" is the actual name of god? If not, then isn't it obvious that every culture must say the word "god" in their own language? With their own accents and intonations?
Again, it seems the further away you are from being a christian believer - that is, Jews, Muslims and Atheists all able to see the relationship between the three religions of the book hinges on interpretation of *who Jesus and Mohammad were*, not on which god they worship. It seems modern christian understanding of the origins of their own religion, and its relationship to other religions, are inferior to those quite widespread during the Renaisaance and Reformation.
