    Why do especially Christians think that Allah is a different than what they call God.

    Sounds pretty ignorant guys.

    Allah (/ˈælə, ˈɑːlə, əlˈlɑː/;[1][2] Arabic: الله‎, translit. Allāh‎, pronounced [ɑɫ'ɫɑh] ( listen)) is the Arabic word for God in Abrahamic religions. In the English language, the word traditionally refers to God in Islam.[3][4][5] The word is thought to be derived by contraction from al-ilāh, which means "the god", and is related to El and Elohim, the Hebrew words for God.[6][7]

    so there's no "my God is bigger than your God" among these 3 religions since they refer to the same entity.
    And "God "is actually the German name for it.

    • I find it funny that Muslims hate the Jews yet they worship a Jewish god._niko
    • It's more about the prophets as the source of hate. It's so childish.monospaced
    • "God" term has been hijacked and used to profit a select few.
      When people argue about god they are arguing about manipulated books and childhood educations ..

    • Because it's not real. So who gives a shit what anyone thinks? The point of god is a self-serving belief that you're not alone.sofakingback
