Is Allah The Same God Of Christianity? | Hate Decoded

Arab Christians have called God "Allah" for centuries. It's in the first sentence of the Arabic Bible. It's in their prayers, their churches, their liturgy. Muslims didn’t invent the term.. It's the Arabic word for God. So why does it feel foreign? Why does it make people flinch? In this episode, Imam Justin Wood traces exactly where that discomfort came from. The post-9/11 media packaging, the moon god claim that went viral, and the decades-long framing of one Arabic word as a threat. Then he looks at what the word actually points to: a God described in the Quran first and foremost as Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. Before any law, any instruction, anything else. 00:00 Debunking Myths About Allah 00:14 'Allah' in Arabic Scripture 00:23 A Priest Says Salam 01:00 Why We Flinch 01:22 Same God Shared Prophets 02:02 Imam Personal Journey 02:29 God Beyond Images 02:56 Mercy at the Center 04:04 Media Made It Foreign 04:54 Final Takeaway Click SUBSCRIBE and hit the 🔔 icon to receive the latest updates from HateDecoded!
