The Islamists are raging. They're like a dog with a bone in their determined possessiveness over the Temple Mount and Jerusalem.
The Jews seem to be showing some resolve to combat the raging Heathens.

Revelation 16:13 [NASB]
13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs;
Revelation 19:20 [NASB]
20 And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone.
Revelation 20:10 [NASB]
10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. -

Very strange.
Allah is simply Arabic for "God." It is a generic name, just like the English word "God."
I have friends who are Christian missionaries who work with Muslims and they use the word "Allah" to describe the Christian God, especially since they are often speaking Arabic as they discuss religious matters.
Of course, you can say that Muslims mean something different than Christians mean when they say "God," and that may well be true. But many "Christians", "Baptists" and "Nationalists" talk about "God" and it is clear to me that they are not speaking of the God Who revealed Himself to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and then ultimately through Jesus.
Context and meaning are everything, not the language in which the word "God" is spoken. -

(Apostate Judaism, mother of harlots)
Excerpts:
“Unquestionably the first impression gained by a reader of the quran Koran is that Muhammad Mohammed had received the material of his new faith and practice mainly from the Jews of the Hijaz. On almost every page are encountered either episodes of Hebrew history, or familiar Jewish legends, or details of rabbinical law or usage, or arguments which say in effect that Islam is the faith of Abraham and Moses.....”
“These facts, if taken by themselves, would obviously indicate that the Arabian prophet's religious education had been thoroughly Jewish.....”
“'This quran quranic Koranic teaching is Gnostic,' or 'This is Manichaean'-in our dense ignorance of the type of Christianity that was known in the Hijaz, and especially, the type of Judaism that was actually present in Mekka in muhammad Mohammed's time, and from which we know him to have derived such a very large proportion of what we find in the quran Koran......”
“....there is no clear evidence that muhammad Mohammed had ever received instruction from a Christian teacher, while many facts testify emphatically to the contrary; and that, on the other hand, the evidence that he gained his Christian material either from Jews in Mekka, or from what was well known and handed about in the Arabian cities, is clear, consistent, and convincing....”
“...The fact of the Israelite city of Khaibar, "the richest city of the Hijaz," is one very significant item among many. Such a civilization is not produced in a short time. Native Arab tribes "converted" in the manner supposed would have been certain, we should imagine, to welcome and accept the prophet of their own number who promised them a truly Arabian continuation of Judaism adapted to their own special needs, while based squarely on the Hebrew scriptures. But the Jews of Mekka, Medina, and the rest of the Hijaz knew better, and would not yield an inch....I have thus far been speaking mainly of the great number of Arabs professing the Israelite faith, in muhammad Mohammed's time.....”
“....The quran Koran repeatedly speaks of "the children of Israel" as the most favored people on earth-up to the time of Islam; and in addressing them the prophet always reminds them that they know their scriptures.....”
“Far more important, however, is the testimony contained in the quran Koran. The Israelite tribes with their rabbis, their books, sacred and secular, their community of faith and action, and their living contact with the past, are there; they are no phantom. All through the quran Koran there is evidence of a Jewish culture, which muhammad Mohammed greatly admired, and of Jewish learning, which he very imperfectly assimilated.” -

Many Jews in Jesus day were also not of the Father God, they were born according to the flesh, not according to the Spirit, and so then did not believe in Christ.
Jesus told them exactly who they were, and that their deeds were evil.
God has always promised to save a remnant of the Jews and so then some believed in Christ. -
