Priap, I'll find the original research done by men much more intelligent then you or I and they went back to around the 7th century and found that the Arab religion that would be come to be known as Islam was merely put in place to control and manipulate the people, as well as to join them under one banner of faith.
This is a bit of info from one of my sources:
"Islam's origins have been traced back by scholars to the ancient fertility religion of the worship of the moon god which was always the dominant religion of Arabia. The moon god was worshipped by praying toward Mecca several times a day, making an annual pilgrimage to the Kabah which was a temple of the moon god, running around the Kabah seven times, caressing an idol of a black stone set in the wall of the Kabah, running between two hills, making animal sacrifices, gathering on Fridays for prayers, giving alms to the poor, etc. These were pagan rites practiced by the Arabs long before Muhammad was born."
Again according to the Words of God Himself, if it is not worship of Him and only Him then it is pagan or Baal worship. Your assertion that because these two lines serve the same god is not based in fact. The reason for this if you were to look into the differences in the child of Promise who is Isaac and the son conceived in Sin that this is a very essential part of who they would come to be separately and as the origin of two ethnic groups. IsHydromaxael hated Isacc because he received honor and praise because of what God accomplished by fulfilling His promise to Abraham, as well as being the favored son. This grudge led to a dissention between IsHydromaxael and Isaac and led to IsHydromaxael abandoning the God of his father and doing things according to his own standard and created his own form of worship, which many liken to of the apostacy and baal worship of the Jews in the book of Judges.
You took the above statment in the quoted text completely out of context as I was not stating that they served the same God as they do not, and this is quite clear. As I pointed out in the post previous to this that you can not make this assertion and assume it to be correct because of the teachings that come from the Quran do not fall in line with the character of El Shadei Adonai, but the character of satan, and this my friend can not be refuted. The two books in question in no way represent each other, one is a teaching of Love, generosity, justice, and Truth while the other teaches violence, hatred, and anger which resognates from the original blood feud. The Bible is very clear about second generation sin and curses that these are passed on from this generation to the next, as all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God this is not something that just is but is a curse passed onto us from Adam and Eve. If one was to deny this very simple truth and evidence to this reality then there would be no need for Christ to have died as sin was not something that could be inherited, but a choice made by the individual to go against God but this is not so as the Word is clear that all are born into sin.
Priap, the reality would be that all men are family. As we all have a common descendant at some point in time. The primary issue is not that these groups are family, but that they are not worshipping and in service to the same god as millions of people merely think this is so, but upon a dilligent study it becomes clear that the histories of these two groups are quite different. Have you ever noticed that the arabs always seem to be the first to attack. Why do you think this is? Are they not a peaceful people?

I will say that I am going to look into different areas regarding this subject. It would be very easy to post articles and websites that agree with what I am saying. I have read a good bit of the Koran and it does call for the death of infidels and it is very hostile towards people of different faiths. It would be a very big mistake to think this is not true as it is quite clear in the book of which they base their lives.
I do think if you are to go through the above links you will begin to see a much different picture than is reported on the news and what is being pushed upon us as "fact". I have Arab friends and they are Christians who were former muslims and they have spoken to me about the way they were taught in schools to hate anyone outside of the "faith" and that they were trained to follow orders regardless of personal harm. It is authoritartian and manipulative at it's core, and it brings to mind the children in Germany and Japan who were sent to die on the front lines during WWII because it's what they were "supposed" to do, and this is a lie and has cost millions their lives, but now all of a sudden it's peaceful. History does not agree with this assertion and neither does the current climate in the middle east.
