and while Allah and God have numerous similiarities I would class them as different... Allah seems way more into the burning and the killing and the chopping and so on.
Muslims are in a false religion (Islam) that teaches Jesus was created from dust (Surah 3:59; John 1:3; Colossians 1:16; Genesis 1:1) and rejects the concept that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for all mankind (Surah 4:157, 171; 5:17; 9:30; John 3:16; 1 Timothy 2:6). The Bible says,
23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. (1 John 2:23)

God of the Bible and Islam are different.
The God of Islam can violate his laws and is not unchanging.
Qu'ran
Sura 2 verse 106
YUSUFALI: None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar: Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things?
Allah can do w/e he wants. He can make a new revelation and everything that Muhammad said would be to no effect. Any Muslim you ask will deny it but according to the Qu'ran Allah has the power and can do that.
The God of the Bible is
Malachi: 3:6
6For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
He is constant Stable and unchanging.
I know I am going to heaven because I accepted Jesus' sacrifice for sins and repented.
Allah can send you to hell for being even the most righteous person on earth. There is no assurance in Islam at all and Allah is unstable and can change whenever he wants.
Make sense?

I would testify that Psalm 82 supports your observation quite well. If we're discussing monotheism, one God, then no other God by any other name can be any other than the one. If we are all made in the image and likeness of God, then within the face, upon the race, of all God's children we witness the Divine.
Different cultures see God in their image and likeness. They worship, pay homage, pray, respect, honor and live as witness, to their faith as children of the creator. The power that makes everything alive in it's image, with it's divine essence invigorating all things.
Would we look to a planet and say, that is not of God? Because it does not appear as we think a planet should?
Would we look to a tree and say, there can be only one example of a tree?
If everything is created of and thus by God, then no thing can not be God.
So say the Song (Psalm) of God.

My 2 cents worth. It is absolute fact that the so called god of the muslim religion is a false god in every manner of speaking. He is not Jehovah, YHWH, Adonai, he is blasphemy in every way, just the fact that the quran denies the deity of Yeshua(Jesus) is enough evidence all by itself. I'm sorry, but anyone who can even think that the muslim god and YHWH, are the same is gravely mistaken. This is a dangerous ground to tread on. Shalom

No I believe they are different because of Jesus words:
John 9
Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.”
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. 43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
if they worshiped the LORD they would love Jesus and recognize Him as the Messiah, which neither Jews or Muslims do.
Jews think Jesus is just a man and Muslims say he is just another prophet and that Muhammad had to come and fix what Jesus taught and expand upon Jesus' teachings.
Universalist would like people to believe they are the same, makes it easier to create one world religion/order and sets the stage for the anti-christ.

Note that the Roman Catholic Church teaches that Allah is the Christian God.
The Church's relationship with Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day." (CCC, p. 223, #841)
They accept, as saved, even those who reject the Son of God (John 14:6), in plain denial of the doctrine of Christ (2 John 9). This makes the Roman Catholic way very broad indeed (Matthew 7:13-14).
23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. (1 John 2:23)
10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. (1 John 5:10)

Christianity is not Judaism. Judaism denies Christ, and goes by its Talmud, and not by its own Old Testament. The Talmud teaches that Christ is in hell, being boiled in his own excrement. It slanders and blasphemes against Christ. And it also slander's Christ's pure mother as "Miriam the hairdresser" who had carnal relations with a Roman soldier. Judaism of today is what Christ said of the Pharisees, "Ye are of your father, the devil." For Christians, it is a constant struggle to renounce the devil and all of his evil works. Only by the blood of Christ and the ministry of His Spirit in His Church can we be saved. In Erie Scott Harrington

I don't think we are in disagreeance on the difference between Judaism B.C. and Judaism of today. The closest I feel would be some of the hasidic or other Orthodox Judaism groups. I agree though,that modern Judaism is only in name.
Just as you and I both would agree that Joel Osteen preaches a false Gospel.
I would further add, that Judaism to be valid, requires Christianity. There is simply no way of knowing that the Prophets of the OT were speaking on God's behalf, without a personal divine endorsement; Christ. Christ's resurrection and fullfillment of prophecy, and quoting of various OT texts, I believe is the only arguement for the divinity of the OT Prophets.
That being said, I would say of the Abrahamic faiths, Christianity is the only one that can stand on it's own leg.
