What does your religion say about existing with other religions? (lemmy.world)

I only have a familiarity with Christianity and the "no other gods before me" thing. I am curious what other religions have to say about it.

Christianity embraces the God of the Torah but rejects the Muslim faith.

Still, Allah is the same being as the Christian "God".

I'm not saying Islam is canon to Christianity. Just that when Christians talk about God and when Muslims talk about Allah, they are talking about the same being.

Just like in English, we call the protagonist of the Pokemon anime "Ash", but in Japan, he's called "Satoshi". But it's the same character no matter which name you refer to him as.
