The ability to let love cover a multitude of sin while forgiving is unique for sure........So is the fact that the progenitor of Christianity resurrected from the dead and stood again of his own volition!

The answer to the OP's title is a one word response.
It reminds me of when I was in Memphis at the Elvis house some 15 years ago.
They played a clip of him when in was the army being questioned by news paper reporters.. A reporter asked him what he missed about Memphis.
He said
EVERYTHING.

I think you have hit on it...

I am not sure any other religions have a loving supreme being.. one that LOVES us, and wants to have a relationship with us.

I don't think that any of the "attributes" given to "Allah" include love.

All other deities that I know of might be kind, benevolent types of beings (as seen by their followers) but no other one has a God that LOVES them.

Huge difference...
Nope! In fact Muhammad tells tells us that allah doesnt love us at all-

Qur’an 3:31-32—Say [O Muhammad]: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your faults, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. Say: Obey Allah and the Apostle; but if they turn back, then surely Allah does not love the unbelievers.

Qur’an 30:43-45—Then turn thy face straight to the right religion before there come from Allah the day which cannot be averted; on that day they shall become separated. Whoever disbelieves, he shall be responsible for his disbelief, and whoever does good, they prepare (good) for their own souls, that He may reward those who believe and do good out of His grace; surely He does not love the unbelievers.

So no, allah is not loving at all : p Of course, as those of us that follow Jesus Christ know, the true God loves all of His creation, so much that He gave the life of His only begotten Son to save them.

Forgiveness through agape love.

This only exists in Jesus and God and we are called to love our enemies
with this love.

People were thrown to the lions, and prayed and forgave those who did this.
This love transcends live and is eternal, because it dwells in the servant heart
of God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

David Wood made this comparision, wanted to point that out before it seems that Im taking credit for it, but he pointed out that allahs own teachings go against the teachings of Jesus here-

Matthew 5:43-48: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

Just doing quick internet searches into the teaching of Islam is enough to tell you that the god of Muhammad is NOT the God of the bible, and that Jesus had nothing at all to do with allah : p

Sadly, Muhammad was a messenger of satan and he did not know it.

Love as a concept was laughed at as weakness by many muslims, and they had an odd
idea of what it meant to be good. It was like entering an alien thought world, where a
teacher talking rubbish vaguely connected to the Koran was impossible to challenge.

So a woman who is raped but cannot prove it is put on trial for adultery because they
admit sex outside of marriage, therefore should die. This is both insane and worse
than the rape itself. In afghanistan the prisons are full of women caught in this type of
dilemma, but the society has no moral compass to find a way out.

Not another religion on earth where a Savior has been provided and through resurrection shown to be true. Christianity does make redemption based on the merits of us but on God.

For the cause of Christ
