Kendall, the Koran says that Allah is the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob(spelled "Ibrahim, Ishaq, and Yaqoub" in this translation):
YUSEF 1:28 "And I follow the religion of my fathers, Ibrahim and Ishaq and Yaqoub; it beseems us not that we should associate aught with Allah; this is by Allah's grace upon us and on mankind, but most people do not give thanks..."

It also says that Allah is the God of Jesus (spelled "Isa" in this translation, and Mary is "Marium"):
THE FAMILY OF IMRAN 3:45 "When the angels said: O Marium, surely Allah gives you good news with a Word from Him (of one) whose name is the '. Messiah, Isa son of Marium, worthy of regard in this world and the hereafter and of those who are made near (to Allah)."

Here's an thought experiment: suppose someone tells you, in all sincerity, that he had met Tony Blain, the ex-President of England and former leader of the Worker's Party, and his wife Chrissy, at their house at 11 Dowling Street, right before Blain sent the troops to Iran to overthrow King Hussien.

You could say "There is no such person as Tony Blain." Or you could say "You mean Tony Blair; but you are making many serious errors about him."

The Koran says that it and the New Testament both teach about Allah, but that the New Testament makes many serious errors about Him.

P.S. After reading the Koran and the New Testament, I think the Koran is the one that got it wrong.
