[What if you went before God when you died - and discovered that it was Allah? What would you do?]
If the above happened, then I would be glad that I'd had the opportunity to live for Jesus while upon the earth, and refuse the presence of Allah.
This is the question martyrs face: will my faith hold in the face of death? If I want the answer to that question to be yes, then I make preparations (i.e., I live my life) beforehand to acheive that glorious outcome!

What the hell aren´t they able to answer us a simple question?, let´s repeat it in a dummy fashion. If you discovered that your beliefs were wrong, what would you do?, how do you justify ALL THE SUFFERING you have caused into others, sprouting us a lie?
I don't think that was the question he asked, dummy. Not "will you worship Allah to save your life", but "what happens if you die, and you see that you were wrong and the real God is one from a different religion?"
Hm, this is an example of mental block similar to the fundies' response to atheism. They can't understand the idea that some people have no gods, so they replace "atheism" with "maltheism" or "misotheism" and respond as such. In this case, they can't understand that they could possibly be wrong, so they substitute the question: "What if you died and found out that another religion was right?" with "What if someone threatened to kill you for being Christian?"
Not only is Allah the same God, but according to the Qua'aran, Christianity and Judaism are counted as "true" faiths... and I have understood that in Islam it is your deeds, not your faith, that is important.
and I have understood that in Islam it is your deeds, not your faith, that is important.
That's not the way I've seen muslims behave. Seems that all you have to do is be "muslim" and you're going to heaven. If you were a particularly good muslim, you get your 72 virgins faster. If you were bad, you have a longer line to stand in. If you die a martyr - you get in the express lane.
Of course, you have to be in the right sect of islam to get all of the above...sound familiar?
"If the above happened, then I would be glad that I'd had the opportunity to live for Jesus while upon the earth, and refuse the presence of Allah."
And I'm glad my life on Earth was given to knowledge and not hindering, but rather helping how I could, the furtherance of mankind, and refusing your bloodthirsty and sadistic god.
The funny thing is that, according to your merciless preaching, we should believe in your particular branch of faith because of the afterlife. And martyrdom is, by definition, an earthly affair.
Well, I don't think it'd make much of a difference, since I'm almost certain Allah and God are the same Abrahamic God, but for the sake of this argument, let's assume they are not. The first half of your response is ok, assuming you actually lived by Jesus' teachings and not being an intolerant, hate-spewing asshole to people. And hell, if you DID do that, you'd probably be let in anyway, seeing as how you were doing good deeds on Earth anyway. But I think the second would get you sent to Hell, assuming Allah's trying to give you a second chance. And isn't that what you want to avoid?
Oh, and assuming they are the same, and He just happens to prefer being called Allah in heaven (which honestly wouldn't surprise me that much) then you just rejected GOD, and are being sent to Hell anyway for throwing away your entire belief system right in front of Him just because He decided to speak a little Arabic.
Either way, stupid response.
Confused?
