. As I have shown to be the case in past threads, the Muslim god and the Christian god are not one and the same, the proper name of the Christian god being, Jehovah (Hebrew, YHWH/Yahweh)meaning "the existing one" or the "I am" and the Muslim god being simply Allah meaning "god." Jehovah is not recognized by Muslims as the true god. Only Allah is. It would be off topic to explain this in detail here, but some place in the archives is my names of God thread and another on Christianity and Islam being 180 degrees apart. Both theads deal with this.
It is utterly irrelevant that, from the christian viewpoint, the god of the Bible and the god of the Koran are different. What is important is that it is part of Islamic doctrine that the Bible (old and new) are precursors of the Koran; which became necessary because of corruptions in the Bible. Hence, Islamic scholars, while placing less emphasis on the Biblical accounts, have a strong incentive to prove them true.
