When are you going to start an "Ask about Islam" thread.
I'm genuinely interested.
Half the board thinks I am not expert enough for such a thread. And in their case they are probably correct. I do not know as much about my religion as Agricola does Judaism. The other half don't think I am really Muslim. Those people are wrong.
If you want to ask me a question go ahead. I will try to answer it or find someone who does know the answer if I don't.

What does the coc do better?
Are Allah and Jehovah the same God, in your view?
The coC doesn't do anything right. It doesn't pray in the right way nor in the right direction. It worships Jesus as God when he was just a prophet. These are just a few examples.
Allah is the same god as Jehovah, though not trinitarian as the Christians think. He is one.

I believe most Jews will think God is one. So what did Jesus believe? The Council of Nicea was called by Constantine for political reasons. This was about to be infighting between Arius and others which would destabilize the empire. He attended the council but was not even baptized then. Rome was already showing signs of weakness.
