I’ve had contact with Brother Gallant a couple of times over about a 3 year span, and thot he was honestly trying to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Muslims. Today tho, i read an article by him that explodes that idea, and shows his feet are firmly planted on the “Christian God and Muslim god are the same” sinking sand platform.
The short article is here:

Near the beginning of this article is the most powerful statement that this is gross error from Satan: “Muslims worship the Creator God. This would be the same Creator God referenced in the Bible as the God of the Jews and Christians.” There is one more egregious error: “Based on this simple answer the first step in building a bridge is to recognize Muslims as fellow people of faith who are looking to the God of all grace and mercy to bring about ultimate peace in a world racked by sin and war”.
Sounds good, doesn’t it? But it is all wrong – horribly wrong. The Allah spoken of in the Qur’an says over and over “I have no son”. The God spoken of in the Bible says “This is my beloved son, hear him.” Allah likes to doom unbelievers to a place where they will suffer forever, where they “will neither die nor live”. God destroys unbelievers in the lake of fire, and then creates a new earth. Allah says not to make friends of the Christians, to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, to pay money to atone for your sins, to wash your body in a certain way etc. etc. etc.
If Allah is God, then please leave me out of that heaven where he says he will feed us fowl meat. Gross. I love chickens, not eat them.
For a comparison i made between the Qur’an and Bible, look here:

Why would any Seventh-day Adventist ever be confused about WHO God is? Please Bryan Gallant, please repent, and return to the Lord your God, and stop spreading lies that some hateful god who says to “Fight until all is for Allah” is the same as the God who sent his only Son to die for us.
Thank God we do have the pure word of truth, and that sin and sinners will one day be no more, and there will never again be anyone in all the universe who denies that Jesus is the Son of God.
The author of this post might find the book A Deadly Misunderstanding, http://www.adeadlymisunderstanding.com/ to be very informative and enlarging to his world view.
Well, the excerpt from the book talks about how, at the core, the Muslim book is good. But how can the God of the Bible lie against himself? Either it is from God, or not from God. And the Qur’an definitely does not agree with what is written in the Bible about God. So yes, Christianity, true Christianity is exclusive – either eternal life with Jesus, or eternal death after being burned up. There is no middle ground.
Gallant has characterized himself as a “bridge builder” but I doubt he considered who made that phrase popular. He needs to “broaden his horizons” and “enlarge his worldview” by reading Sayyid Qutb’s _Milestones_:
“The chasm between Islam and Jahiliyyah [ignorance, the non-Muslims] is great, and a bridge is not to be built across it so that the people on the two sides may mix with each other, but only so that the people of Jahiliyyah may come over to Islam . . .”

Qutb was the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1950s-60s, before being executed by hanging for attempting to assassinate Egyptian president Gamal Nasser.
No, Islam and Christianity are not compatible. No matter what the Qur’an says, we are not worshipping the same deity.
