EvC Forum: Were The Prophets/Messiahs Jesus and Mohammed Inspired By The Same God?

In the comic POTM thread was this exchange between Jar and me:

Afterall, the Jewish, Christian and Islamic GOD is the same critter.

They're not the same god as I've shown to be the case on several occasions. Your God a critter??

Start a thread on it and we can discuss the subject.

So here we are to discuss whether the gods of Christianity and Islam are one and the same god or not.
First off, please understand that I am a sole proprietor of a business and have many other activities to attend to so if you post in this thread, please be patient. There's no rush or panacea here. If you think it's a race to the finish, just remember that buz is occasionally the hare but quite often the tortoise.

I would appreciate that the thread discussion be limited relative to the fundamentals of the books and writings of the prophets and their apostles, for the most part.

Feel free to address any or all of the four questions as follows:

1. Do the lives and practices of these two prophets suggest that the same god inspired them both?

2. Do the New Testament gospels of Jesus and the epistles of his apostles and desciples read and teach fundamentals consistent with fundamentals of the prophet Mohammed and his desciples in the Quran, the Hadiths and Sunas so as to suggest a common inspiration by the same god?

3. Do the gods of Mohammed and Jesus share the same proper name? I've emboldened the word 'proper' so as to not be confused with descriptive title. For example, 'the man Jesus' and his god Jehovah or the man Mohammed and his god, Allah. Here you have both the descriptive title and proper names of the prophets/messiahs and their respective gods. The NT does not name the god of Jesus, but over 6000 times he is named Jehovah in the OT earliest manuscripts. These names may be included as on topic in the discussion.

4. Are/were the religions and followers of the god Allah and the god Jehovah compatible in real life both now and historically? Are/were they relatively tolerant of one another or not?
