Whether adherents to Islam, Judaism and Christianity wish to acknowledge it or not, all three of the world's largest religions worship the same God - the God of Abraham and Moses and Noah. They call God by different names (Yahweh, Allah, Jehovah ), but the Almighty and omniscient being they claim to follow is one and the same entity. Why then, are supposed followers of these religions destroying temples, mosques and churches around the world in the name of carrying out God's will?
On New Year's Day in Egypt, a bomb planted in a Coptic Christian Church in Alexandria killed at least twenty-one people and injured dozens more when it exploded following a New Year's Mass.
In early November last year, a Sunni mosque in northwest Pakistan was the target of a Taliban bombing. Fifty Muslim worshippers were killed in the bombing and approximately one hundred more were injured during the explosion.
Last October, two synagogues in the United States received bombs delivered in packages from foreign locations. Luckily, neither bomb detonated.
Clearly, there are a lot of crazy fanatics out there who have no idea what God is asking of his followers. If you ask me, spending more time in prayer and less time with explosives would be a good start.
