If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a sign or wonder, and if the sign or wonder spoken of takes place, and the prophet says, “Let us follow other ELOHIM” (ELOHIM you have not known) “and let us worship them,” you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. YHWH your ELOHIM is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul. It is YHWH your ELOHIM you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him. That prophet or dreamer must be put to death for inciting rebellion against YHWH your ELOHIM, who brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery. That prophet or dreamer tried to turn you from the way YHWH your ELOHIM commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you.

If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other ELOHIM” (ELOHIM that neither you nor your forefathers have known, ELOHIM of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), do not yield to any of them or listen to them. Show them no pity. Do not spare them or shield them.

Terrorists shout Allah Akbar (God is great) while they commit atrocities. They obviously worship the God of Evil, not Good.

eel's feeble attempt at promoting peace doesn't seem to be going over very well. how many people realize that Arabs & Hebrews are both semitic, so be be an anti-Semite is to be anti-Arab as well as anti-Jew.

three different words used in the Old Testament are translated as God; אל (el), אלוה (elo'ah) and אלהים (elohiym). note the similarity of the 2nd with Allah.

Elo'ah is a singular form of the plural Elohim. when Genesis mentioned Elohim creating Earth, it was a We doing the creating, perhaps in the form of advanced aliens? terrorists using the name Allah in a perverted way are not creating but destroying. they worship Satan, not Allah, despite what they say.

So when every Muslim on the planet says certain things are done in the name of الله, it must mean they have no idea what they are talking about? And when tens of millions of Muslims over 1400 years went into battle shouting الله اكبر (Allahu Akbar) they didnt know who they were shouting about? ... Im afraid you're wrong. They are beseeching the same god as Yahweh, and by that I mean the deity as understood by Israelites 3000 years ago. Its just that Jews and then Christians have mollified the harshness of this god, whether thru the New Testament or thru the Torah and Talmud. Muslims haven't. They consider the Torah and Gospels as blasphemous innovations

haven't plenty of Christians & Jews committed atrocities while thinking they were doing it with God's blessing? Christ said blessed are the peacemakers. explaining the true meaning of Allah promotes harmony. trashing Allah promotes conflict. just as Spanish Christians say "Dios" for God, Arab Christians say "Allah". it's simply the Arabic word for God. apparently a distinction for Muslims is that God does not have a personal name?
