Sourdough;
While I agree with much of what you say, I must quibble just a bit with your first and last sentences..
The last sentence must be hyperbole..turning much of the mideast into glass..
The first sentence; while I will admit they do believe in "a god", I strongly protest that it is not the same God as HE of the Christians and Jews. Here I will digress into my opinion; but one shared by many Biblical scholars;
A) Islam declares that "God has no Son", which of course means there is no way their Allah can possibly be one and the same as the Christian God.
B) While most Jews have not reconciled themselves to Jesus as the expected Messiah, they do not argue the preminence of the God of Abraham, Jacob and Isaac ...as do Christians. Incidently, a full million of the Jews have now recognized Jesus as the Messiah.
So where does that put the god of Islam? (IMO)
A) " How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
For thou hast said in thine heart,...'I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I WILL BE LIKE THE MOST HIGH".
(Isaiah 14;12-14)
B) "And no marvel for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works". (2 Cor 11:14,15)
C) "Ye are of your father the devil,and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (John 8:44)
Analysis;
A) Old Satan wanted to be like God.
B) He could appear as "an angel of light".
C) He is a very accomplished liar.
D) Unfortunately, some believed his pedophile/pophet..
