Anonymous, the truth is I simply didn't notice it. I don't actually read every comment that comes through. In general it seems wisest to leave the defense of Islam to the self-appointed defenders of Islam.

But, as this has been pointed out, I would suggest that the Koran doesn't make such a claim. Fatima was the daughter of Mohammad, and wife to Ali, who is venerated today almost like the Catholics venerate Mary. She played an important role as she was the child closest to Mohammad and participated in a struggle for power/authority after Mohammad's death that resulted in the division of the Muslim world. Modern day Shi'ites are those who view Fatima and Ali's descendants (the Ahl al-Bayt, "the people of the house") as the rightful rulers of Islam.

The Koran says that Allah has a daughter named Fatima but not a son. It is obvious that Allah and Yaweh cannot be the same God. The God that is in the Bible has a son and his name is Jesus, Yeshua, the Christ, the Messiah.

James, it is not true that the Bible mentions Mohammed. Where did you here that? Try actually knowing a little about these religions before making silly claims that they "all worship the same God". While your at it, why not claim the bible also mentions Santa Clause and Buddha. The claim that Mohammed is mentioned in the Bible is one of the most biblically ignorant claims I've ever heard.

The only one "deceiving" people here is you. You give misinformation, whereas the author of this article is simply stating his opinion. The shame is on you, James.

Question: He who creates all beings, He who creates all substance, He who knows the unknown, how can He have a son? nor the less, how can He take the shape of a very low being, humans? this comment would probably not show because I am right and you're not.

Are you serious?
Your audience first think that they are reading an article to inform them about God in the 3 religions you mentioned. However, you are then being VERY biased and claiming that only one religion is true, Christianity. Is it not true that all the monotheistic religions worship God? Is is not true that the Bible mentions both Mosses and Mohammed? You are surely guilty of making facts into your own opinions, in addition you are trying to deceive your audience with false facts... Shame on you.

The key to this is one of the verses you pointed out, Luke 10:16. If you reject Christ, you reject the very Son of God and in doing so you reject God Himself. It is as if one says to God, thanks for sending your Son but I prefer to worship you in my own way. Ask the sons of Aaron how that worked out.

To say we worship the same God as those who reject Christ shows a woeful ignorance of the Biblical witness of the character and person of Jesus Christ. It may sound nice and ecumenical, but it is a false claim nonetheless.
