Inside Islam
Part 2
Many people assume that the god Allah whom Muslims worship and the God of the Bible are one and the same. But a comparison of what the Koran teaches about Allah and what the Bible reveals about God show them to be very different in their character and primary attributes, and those differences greatly affect the actions of their followers. Suicide bombings and the conflict between Islam and Western civilization are rooted directly in the teachings of the Koran, specifically its teachings about the supremacy of Islam, jihad, hell, paradise and salvation. Understanding these teachings gives us an understanding of why Islam is a threat to the rest of the world.
