You keep trying to discredit Islam with an inherent assumption/belief that Christianity is "correct".

Where did you get that idea? Can you find a single sentence of mine in this thread that says anything to that effect? I'm not trying to credit or discredit any religion. My interest is in allowing each religion to speak for itself, rather than forcing them all into a conceptual straightjacket with a priori decrees such as, "These three religions worship the same God." My argument is simply that if you allow each religious community to define its own terms, you will find that their three disparate conceptions of God are incompatible with one another. Each of these three monotheistic faiths denies that the versions of God worshiped by the other two, is its own. This can be proven either by investigating each religion's version of Theology Proper (in which case the mutually exclusive characteristics of the deity in question should rise to the surface) or by investigating each religion's version of Eschatology (Islam consigns Christians and Jews to hell, while Christianity does the same for Jews and Muslims).

I really don't know how else I can phrase this argument to make it any clearer. And I'm not sure it would be beneficial even if I could; you seem to be intent on responding to an argument (namely, which religion is "right") that I'm not even making.
