Thanks, but this isn't news. "America's pastor" Rick Warren infected the churches here with this. Being he's a member of the intellectual intelligencia there is no challenging it, not without getting the backside of fellowship and being accused of being hateful, mean spirited and " obcessed" with politics. So many just keep quiet, except for their own private circles. It's interesting as so many within the body of Christ here in amerika, whine about cancel culture, yet it is firmly ensconced in the church. No? Try challenging the other members of the intellectual intelligencia, leadership of the Christian Coalition; Tony Campolo, Jim Challis, Jim Wallis, Tim Keller and now John Piper. All who are aggressively dividing the church with their attack on patriots via the Anti nationalist movement. Tools of the enemy to divide and conquer both the church and the nation to further the great falling away.
Found this summary of differences on a site I've not had time to explore further. However, I agree with this much:
"God’s only begotten Son is Jesus. Allah has no begotten son.
God made salvation available by sacrificing His Son and promises salvation by grace to those who believe. Allah sacrificed nothing, and only saves if sufficient works are done.
God has a payment for sins—Jesus Christ. Allah has no payment for sins.
God’s Christ paid for the sins of mankind. Allah paid for nothing, and all men pay for their own sins.
God’s salvation is through Christ’s work. Allah’s salvation is through people’s works.
God’s saving work is, “Come to Christ.” The major part of Moslem salvation is to believe Mohammed was the sum and seal of the prophets.
God’s book is very different from Allah’s book. They contradict each other, so they cannot both be true. For example, the Bible says Christ was resurrected from the dead. The Moslems reject that as a lie.
God says his Son is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Allah says Christ is “only a messenger” (Chap. 5, “The Food” sect. 10, par. 75).
God treats men and women equally. Allah does not.
God says marriages today (Christian) are to be monogamous. Allah allows more than one wife.
There is no marriage in God’s Paradise. Faithful men get many virgins in Allah’s.
God says it is not necessary to have special days. Allah does: for example, Ramadan, the Moslem holy month during which Moslems fast during the day."
"This list could be multiplied many times over, but there is no point. We have a saying, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it is a duck. God and Allah do not walk alike or quack alike. They are not the same and anyone who tries to say they are is blind to these obvious differences. To my knowledge, most Moslems do not say that Allah and the God of the Jews and Christians are the same being, which is a major reason Moslems count Christians as “infidels.” Why would they say that if they really believed we were worshipping the true God?"

Puzzled by this new "religion"
