Islam, Judiasm, and Christianity all have the same God. They all have Abraham as their founding father. Jesus is Jewish, Christians believe he is the Son of God, Muslims believe he is a great Prophet. We all share important aspects of our common religion.
Our God has many names, Jehovah, YHWH (Yah-whey), God, Allah.
Let's call God by one, universal name. But which one?
Allah. I'm a Christian and think of God but why not use God's newest name? Jews and Christians will have some reluctance and some learning to do. Me too! That learning about our Islamic kin is a good thing. Let us use our commonality to unite us rather than divide us. It is another way to start important conversations.
I also think a common name for our God, Allah, will make hating others tougher.
What do you think? Dig deep into your prejudices and I will dig into mine too.
