Allah is a God of justice and mercy, anxious to forgive men and women who are willing to repent of their wrongdoings and submit their will to His.
Sound familiar to a God you know?
"Allah" is the general name for God used by all speakers of Arabic, whether Muslim, Jewish or Christian.
The history of relations among Muslims, Christians and Jews shows that Muslim governments generally have been more tolerant in their treatment of religious minorities than have Christian governments. They just typically forbid proselyting
The Islamic faith is no more aggressive than Christianity, and it would appear may be less so.

Allah is Control//Persecution
YOUR God is NO better than Allah....
BOTH of your religions have thier section that preaches control and persecution.
Stop playing the innocent card, Christianity is responsible for loads of horrible things that have happened throughout history, not to mention the CRAP many Christians pursue today: Trying to transform United States into an all-Christian conformist slave state.

I never said that he is the God of the Bible. I only translated what Koran says in that surah.
Allah is presecution? What are you talking about?
Islam is loyalty and faith.

The difference today is that it has become a global assault on mankind and anyone who doesn't agree is to be killed.
Why do I even bother explaining main ideas of islam if people keep repeating what they hear on the media without even trying to learn something about religion before judging...

It's not Allah, and Islam, as the problem, it's sinful, selfish humans. 😄
It is extreme factions that you are speaking about Justbyfaith. Islam overall is a very peaceful religion.

You need to read up on ancient Rome.
When was Catholicism established in Rome?
When did the main-seat of Christianity move from Rome?
What happened during the Crusades?
Jesus and Christian God all about love?
Luke 12:5 Jesus says that we should fear God since he has the power to kill us and then torture us forever in hell.
Luke 12:46-47: Jesus says that God is like a slave-owner who beats his slaves "with many stripes."
