Reflection: There are plenty of divisive differences between the Christen God and the Muslim Allah. The range is vast and painfully large. To begin with; for the most part Christians view the Old Testament as a record of historical and spiritual events that took place many ages ago. Christians do not consider the events and many old covenant rules no longer apply to Christians. They live under a new covenant through the death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ. When a Christian reads a verse within the Old Testament they recognise that it is not urging them to do the same.

While Christians perceive the Old Testament as quaint but not relevant other than the understanding the fulfilling prophesies; many Muslims today perceive the whole of the Quran as being relevant and instruction. Each part teaches them the same message as it did when it was first written. If it teaches that aggression is what Allah wants than that is what they are to pursue. When the Quran teaches Muslims to lie, which is called a Taqiya, to the Kafir (a non-Muslim) it is an accepted practice. Sadly something many kafir fail to recognise and appreciate when negotiating with Muslims. So combined with a doctrine of hatred towards kafir or unbelievers, there is an automatic clause to deceive the kafir and lead them into complacency.

Let's look at the compared verse that I have quoted above. The two are as different as chalk and cheese. To begin with God has clearly stated that His love is steadfast and abundant. His love and grace is renewed each morning. Extended to everyone. Gods' compassion is extended to all who will hear and turn back to Him. It doesn't express any anger or hatred towards nonbelievers. Those of other beliefs or even those who have chosen to have no belief at all are all equally shown love. While in Ephesians 2:4-5 we are shown how how God has shown His unlimited love to all. God gave His own Son as the place of all sinners. Sinners are an all inclusive nomenclature for all who have not repented and turn back to God. Although there is an ultimate judgement for everyone, there is a show of love for all living. Both saved and un-saved are given the equal love of God through His perfect grace.

Allah however hasn't the same scope for those who live and refuse to bend and submit to him. He has made it clear what how he feels about kafir or non-Muslims. The Quran instructs Muslims to actively kill them. To seek out the pagans, polytheists, Kafir et al and to convert or kill them. This diametrically opposed instruction to what God says is made painfully felt in many countries and societies. The demand by the Quran to submit Kafir and extract a Jizya or tax on all non-Muslim is a form of submission that has and is extracted from many Kafir around the world even today. Though in the end if the enemy of Allah have not converted to Islam they will be with terrible agony in both this world and the Islamic world to follow. There is no wiggle room allowed. Kafir are a motley group of all non-Muslims. As mentioned it includes any who has not accepted the doctrine of the Islamic faith. Which basically covers the whole world. Unlike the Christian God who shows us in Matthew 5:43-47-43-47 that he makes the sun and rains shine and fall upon both good and bad; the Islamic Allah extorts followers to persecute Kafir while he will curse them.

Really easy to see the difference between the two beliefs. The Christian God seeks to reconcile those who reject Him. He doesn't seek to harm them but instead seeks to show them love and grace. While the Islamic Allah exhorts Muslims to persecute Kafir while he himself openly curses any who will not submit to his will. Christians need to come to terms with how Islam is cruelly attacking the world. How we can't trust anyone who tries to distort the truth with Islamic sanctioned lies or Taqiya. There will never be a true peace between Christians and Muslims. The divide goes as far back as the division between Sarah and Hagar.

In short;
God is love.
Allah is hate.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father,
I embrace your grace and your love.
Thank you for being there for me.
I know you love all your creation.
That you seek to be reconciled with it.
Through the death of your Son Jesus.
All may find salvation in the Lord.
I praise your Holy Sacred name.
Amen
