Well, we all had a nice discussion on Islam today. It's a common perception that Moslems and Christians worship the same god. Unfortunately, this is not true. While the word "Allah" does translate to "The Lord" which, of course, is the name for the Christian God, Islam focuses entirely on a single part of a single god. Whereas, the Trinity, although it is only implied, rather than explicitly stated ( I think, if you want to reference it, it's Mark 1:10-11). The Quran teaches that Christians worship the father, the mother, and the son. this is opposite the Christian worship of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Another idea is that Allah is a loving god just like The Lord. Therefore, if Allah loves everyone, then he must be the Christian God. Well, there's another problem. Sura 3:32 and 30:45 both explicitly state that "Allah loves not the unbelievers." This is opposed to The Christian John 3:16. (Which I'm not going to state here.)
I could also go into the commandments, jihad, or other things, but I don't have the time for that. If you want more info, comment and ask for a discussion. I'd be more than happy to oblige.
