One of the weird things about religion to me is that the Muslims and Christians have been at war pretty much as long as their religion's have been aro

But the weird thing about it is that they both worship the same God, they just have different beliefs on who the main prophet/messiah was.

Well, while respecting the sentiment I don't think that is entirely true

In fact I would argue that no two people worship the same God

But I think the whole trinity and sacrifice of Jesus casts an entirely different light on God - as a character - than the old testiment

From what I've heard, and it would be interesting to hear from a Muslim on this, Allah is a lot more abstract and indescribable than the Christian God, who is often seen as a personal God

Of course folk versus scholarly opinions will differ across both and at least from a Muslim perspective it is the same God
