“What is the result of our investigation of the Moslem idea of God? Is the statement of the Koran true, "Your God and our God is the same"? In as far as Moslems are monotheists and in as far as Allah has many of the attributes of Jehovah we cannot put Him with the false gods.

It is vastly inferior to the Christian idea of the Godhead and also inferior to the Old Testament idea of God.”
