One question which my muslim colleagues / acquaintances havent been able to answer is this idea of ISLAM / Jihadists fighting for ALLAH.
I seriously disagree with the idea that the Christian God and the Islamic Allah are the same. Why? if we have the same father, he cannot be giving us instructions against each other. So its either this our-one-god is lying, or that one of either(Christians / Muslims) is lying and degenerately confused.
So my question for today is: IF ALLAH IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD, WHY CANT HE FIGHT FOR HIMSELF?
If Allah created the world, he should know everything and everybody in it. He should know the stars, moon, sun, sky, space, earth and creatures of the earth.
If Allah is the almighty God, why does he need human assistance / help of his followers to kill unbelievers – Christians?. And why is the primary target Christians? why not go kill Hindu’s, idol worshippers, juju-people in Nigeria, atheists, people who are both non-Christians and non-Muslims?
At least, the Bible proves that the Christian God is sovereign, he can do and undo, all by himself, he makes and unmakes, destroyed his enemies all by himself. Severally in the old-testament, God worked without any human intervention. He brought down kings and made stubborn ones serve his own purpose, even in their stubbornness after which they were still punished for hardening their hearts in the first place.
Why cant the Islamic Allah do the same? I really do not believe / neither do I understand how Allah needs his followers throwing bombs around, killing their fellow human beings – Christians?
If all the Christians in the world really really displease Allah, if they are the sinners that the Islamic paradise despises, why cant Allah just kill them all? We should at least have some historical information as to whom Allah has killed himself? Has Allah killed anybody before?
And what is the real problem with Christianity that Islamists can’t really stand? Why does Allah need Islamic faithfuls to do a Jihad for him, assuming he is the almighty God? Can’t he do it himself?
He should at least have some Islamic angels to go target Christian pastors worldwide, evangelists and men-of-God, and strike them with some Islamic disease, so that they would die like Nebuchadnezzar
With Christians as unbelievers and enemis of Allah, why can’t Allah’s followers love their enemies(Christians) in order to win them to Allah’s faith? or at least preach to them with love? Why kill them?
There are two sides of the scale here and one side is seriously inbalanaced. So once again, I say, its either ALLAH is altogether false or his followers have utterly misinterpreted whatever he told them to do in the Koran.
Your comments and opinions are welcome!

You seem like an intelligent man but lose all rationality when it comes to your religion. For instance, your religious history only started this century. Both religions can count on violence in their metamorphosis to what they are today.
Have you read up about the “Crusades” and the various “Knights” that took strife to Arab lands in previous generations and murdered countless people? Will you pose them the same question?
You question may be more relevant if you say that “some” Islamic fanatics are still living by the sword and need enlightment. Do not however generalize across the whole religion otherwise I submit your hands are equally as bloody as your Christian antecedents..

Am not suprising, because your piece clearly shows your type, as a person who dont even understand what religionis all about.
initially i thought you are wise enough to understand the simple arithmetic of this wise saying that says “in every general rules, there must be an exception” so for you to generalised in your statement, clearly shows your subjective, irrational and sentimental view. may God Guide you….. Ameen

I truly envy the devotion of Muslims but I think Islamism is a JOKE! Unfortunately, if we forget about the radical elements within Islam, Muslims have so given themselves to this joke that it is actually becoming very appealing to many. Yahweh has never been and will never be the same as Allah! To Yahweh be all the glory!!!!!!!!!

@kobolo,
I am as rational as I can be, my brother. Yes, I have read about the crusades, the knights, and all the Christian antecedents as you may well be informed about.
And YES, I would pose the same question to them. If we continue calling a spade a spoon, we will injure ourselves.
@SULEIMAN
Am I generalizing on the whole religion? perhaps its because I have a history about it, in it and from it. Presently, I have many muslims around me, who are range from foreigners, strangers, acquaintances to even relatives: aunties, uncles, cousins.
I have been exposed to other religions besides Christianity and Islam, I have also had the opportunity of growing up in an Islamic environment, so my observations have a strong footing.

I have a strong opinion that the Allah of Islam is not the Almighty God of the Christians. This is because of the following reasons.
1. Allah has no son but the Almighty God of the Christian has an only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, through whom any one who believes in Him and confesses Him as Lord and Savior will be saved and see God in heaven after this life.
2. If Allah is the creator of all humans (Christians, Muslims, etc) then the killing of Christians and burning/bombing of Churches by some Muslims is uncalled for considering that there are atheists, idol worshipers, free thinkers, etc that those Muslims are not interested in. Otherwise how many shrines have ever been attacked?
3. The Quaran instructed that Muslims should not be friends to or associate with the Jews and the Christians. This is clearly spelt out in the Quaran. The same God cannot be divisive among His creations. I have never seen any mere man that divides his blood children. What I have seen is a man telling his children not to associate with the children of another man that he perceives as his enemy.
May the One and Only Almighty God, the creator of all things help us to understanding that no man on earth is qualified to deliver divine justice against another man by killing him/her in the name of religion because ‘all have sinned…’ in one way or the other and need the mercy of the Creator.
