The God of Islam is the same as the God of Abraham (Judeo-Christianity). "Allah" is the Arabic word for God, just as "Dieu" is in French, "Dios" in Spanish, "Dio" in Latin, "Gott" in German, etc. There IS NO DIFFERENCE.
And yes, there are religious fanatics in every culture and walk of life. One thing that must be remembered is that the Taliban and the particular flavor of Islam that it supports is a
cult, just like David Koresh and the Branch Davidians were a Christian-based
cult formed out of the Seventh-Day Adventists, who were horrified and embarrassed at the actions of the Branch Davidians. One must not judge the mainstream religion by the actions of its extremists.
