Pat Robertson, the American evangelist, has made some disturbing remarks about Islam. One such remark was his claim that Muslims do not worship the same God as the Christians. I do not know whether his claim was based on any specific Biblical verse or was just a mere heresy. In response to this, I would like to quote the Koran Chapter 29 Verse 46 "and do not argue with the followers of earlier revelations otherwise then in a most kindly manner... for our God and your God is one and the same it is unto Him we surrender ourselves"
"Followers of earlier revelation" refer to the followers of Moses and Jesus. Muslim are warned not to argue with them and if it is absolutely necessary, argue it " in a most kindly manner" That is exactly what I am trying to do now. In the last part of the verse, God Himself says followers of the earlier revelations pray to the same God as Muslims.
Muslims worship Allah which the Christians refer to as the "Father" and the Jews also worship Allah but they refer to Him as "Yahweh". Not only that, Muslims hold Moses and Jesus in high esteem as prophets of Islam

i know sometimes it looks quite "universal" when we spell 'Koran' instead of 'Quran', but why dont we try to spell it correctly so that others will also could learn how to pronounce it better.. (well i understand its pretty hard for some ppl esp the westeners to pronounce it..)
