re: the tetragrammaton YHWH
Two things I find absurd. You take me for weak-minded, weak-faith candidate to dawagandize, and notion I hold Jews in greater esteem than Muslims. With the first I will be very brief.
I find your method of argument, underhanded, making an assertion then shifting the burden of proof. Though nothing is owed to you, I will comment for the sake of the readers here, and hopefully they will taken it upon themselves to discover the truth. Nowhere in the Arabic Bible is Yahweh replaced with Allah, also Yahweh is intentionally never used in new covenant context i.e. NT books, notwithstanding in which language its published . Hammer to make it fit, but Allah does not mean I AM. Never was it my contention Muslim claiming Allah is The Name means a foreign god, and because you're thick I will repeat and expand on what I said earlier in second part of reply .
I do not believe Muslims are pagans in any sense, and know Muslims find notion they worship in sameness of pagans, repulsive. Muslims believe in the Supreme Being who created all things and desire to honor him. I hold their worship is duly offered to the true God, but is not acceptable outside of faith in Jesus Christ (Matthew 15.9 - "In vain do they worship me"). Whether I offend Muslims, Jews or Christians in having said this, is hardly a concern. The only boat I want be in, is that which carries my Lord Jesus. The Name above all names is Jesus. No apologizes, no special pleading to Judaism, no soft peddling, no your religion for you and my religion for me(that should go without saying).
Muslims esp Arab are a people I know and love, that does not change because I am Christian. Following quote by an honorable Christian man pretty well sums up my attitude. "Militant Christian writers say Allah cannot be a representation of the true God because, according to the Qur'an, he is not Triune, he has no Son, etc. Well then, the Yahweh of the Jews today cannot be the true God either because they maintain that he too is not Triune and also has no Son. At least Islam acknowledges Jesus as a man sent from God but the Jews say Yahweh did not send Jesus at all!"--John Gilchrist. Even worse, Mr. Gilchrist, even worse.
My tone toward you can take a different direction, easy enough to do. All you have do change your demeanor, present thoughtful arguments and enough with the false dilemmas.
