Good post except for one error. Islam does indeed worship a false god. It is a path to destruction.
If you study the Abrahamic foundations of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam you will find only one God. The differences are in what these religions perceive Him to be. It must be noted that in the Koran there are many references to Biblical figures and events, primarily the Torah of Moses, the Psalms (Zabur) of David and the Gospel (Injil) of Jesus. Mohammed's revelations validate the Bible.
THE BIBLE AS SEEN BY THE QUR'AN AND THE MUSLIM TRADITIONSAs a Christian you must know the fundamental difference between Christianity on the one hand and Judaism and Islam on the other. Christianity is unique among all the religions on earth, and I'm sure you know why.

I agree with the majority of your post...
Yet am somewhat surprised you feel so strongly considering your hatred for Islam...
(I will asdmit that you seem more capable of defending your stance against Islam than most of the posters here...)
I do not hate Islam, but the manner in which it treats Christians and Jews is abhorrent.

Judaism denies his sacrifice as well...
Are they worshipping a false god?
Seriously, dude, is this a thoughtfully considered question? The God of Moses, of Abraham, Issac and Jacob is the God of Judaism and Christianity. It is often difficult to determine where you stand on issues. From one post to the next, it is hard to tell what you believe and don't believe, what you agree with and what you don't, who's the pot and who's the kettle.
Obviously you tend to favor a conservative point of view on most issues, but when you post a thumb's up in response to one member's post, then give a thumb's up to a response that is diametrically opposed to that post, it is impossible to determine which one you agree with, or if you agree with either of them. Maybe the thumb's up is simply a means of giving your approval of a person's right to free speech.
You say you believe in God, that you do not deny Him, but it is not clear just who this god is. There are really only two "versions" of God to choose from, Yahweh and Allah. Over half the world's population believe in one or the other. So where are you in this? Which God, or what god, do you believe in?
