[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of them is when people think they're being PC and saying it doesn't matter if you pray to God or Allah or whoever you believe in. Allah = Arabic for God. I truly believe lots of celebrities who say this WANT to set Islam apart in a negative way -- in a -- oh we respect Muslims, they just pray to some other foreign God.[b] Um no -- they pray to the same God as Christians and Jew[/b]s.[/quote]

I respectfully disagree with this.  As a Christian I do not believe that Muslims pray to the same God as I do.  Nor do Jewish people.  I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, but my God is a trinity which must include Jesus.  If you do not believe in Jesus as God, then we do not believe in the same god.  We don't need to believe in the same god to be respectful to one another.  [/quote]

Jews do not pray to Jesus (except maybe the Jews for Jesus people, but those aren't real Jews). Jews pray to God. Jews do NOT believe Jesus is God at ALL. [/quote]

Good point. I suppose OP would argue that the Jews got this wrong, and they should be revering the Muslim Jesus (not the very different Christian Jesus) and God had to talk to Mohammed to set both the Jews and Christians straight. You and I are free to ignore that.

The question about whether it's necessary to say "God" to indicate monotheism or an Abrahamic religion is separate. Not sure what I think about that.[/quote]
