Once again, I’m puzzled by the assertion that “the God of the Qur’an is Not the God of the Bible.” In other incarnations, it might be “the God of Islam is Not the God Christians worship” or other variants. It’s always asserted with great vehemence, as if some great peril were being repelled.
I’m well aware that Islam is materially different than Christianity. I’m aware that it misunderstands Jesus Christ. I’m aware of so very much that I could regurgitate were I not afraid of merely stirring up animosity.
But is there more than one God? How can religion A have a different God than religion B? Sure, they can understand God much differently, and where they differ, after the equivocations are winnowed out, at least one is wrong.
Yawn.
What purpose, other than stirring up animosity, is served by articles like this? The author does not seem to be addressing, and is publishing in an unlikely forum if he is addressing, Krustians who are at risk of wandering into Islam under the mistaken impression that it’s just another denomination.
What, in short, is the epidemic falsehood to which such henotheistic articles are a supposed antidote?

Yes, I find this a tiresome argument as well. Indeed, what is the point of making it? Recently, a Pentacostalist distant relation took me to task for a facebook link that disparaged her hero, John Hagee. In the wide-ranging and somewhat bizarre correspondence that followed, she went off on Muslims in a big way (support of Israel being, of course, THE thing in her belief system.) She informed me that their God was not our God at all, but rather the “moon god” of ancient Arabia. I detected in her attitude a strong dose of demonization of Muslims as the “other,” not deserving of compassion, but only of destruction. And while I believe it an godawful mish-mash of all sorts of things, I found myself in the odd position of defending Islam. I noted that St. John of Damascus viewed it as a heresy, to be sure, but one from Christianity, and that their misunderstanding of God and Christ is not as extreme as say, Mormonism. In the end, it was a wasted argument, for who am I to argue with the Gospel of Hagee. (Of course, the other extreme is just as annoying–see GWB’s “Islam is a religion of peace,” etc.)
