In light of the recent events that have taken place at Wheaton College in regards to Islam and Christianity, I felt the need to point out the obvious. From the very beginning, Christianity has understood God as three in one. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, three persons in one God. Not three gods but one. The ecumenical councils state in very strong words, that God is three in one, the Trinity.
The historic and official statement in Islam states, in no uncertain terms, "There is one God, Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet." For the Muslim, God is one. He has no son, he has no Holy Spirit.
Any deviation from these tenets, on either side, is heresy, for the Christian and for the Muslim.
So it is very clear, Christians and Muslims do not serve the same God.

"Of course they're all one," said the Ape.
"Swear it, Ape," said Emeth.
"Oh dear!" whimpered Shift, "I wish you'd all stop bothering me. My head does ache. Yes, yes, I swear it."

"And all the Calormenes banged the flats of their swords on their shields and shouted, "Tash! Tash! The great god Tash! Inexorable Tash!" (There was no nonsense about "Tashlan" now.)"
