Is Allah God?

Daniel Pipes wrote an interesting piece contrasting the Islamic Allah and the Judeo-Christian God:

“Asked if Muslims worship the same Almighty as Jews and Christians, President George W. Bush replied some months ago, “I believe we worship the same God.” The Islamic deity, known as Allah, in other words, is the same Supreme Being to whom Jews and Christians pray.”

“the entire world is being convulsed by a religious struggle. … whether Hubal, the Moon God of Mecca, known as Allah, is supreme, or whether the Judeo-Christian Jehovah God of the Bible is Supreme.”

“…Muslims must first recognize the validity of alternate approaches to the one God. That means leaving behind the supremacism, extremism, and violence of the current Islamist phase.”
