Underlying all of this is epistemology.
Christians "know" what they know, after lengthy interpretation, from the Bible.
Muslims "know" what they know, after length interpretation, from the Koran.
Problem is, their interpretations lead to different conclusions which shed great doubt on either "knowing" anything at all. They are both pretending to know what they actually don't know.
If "theology" provided useful knowledge why don't they arrive at the same conclusions?
Theology/Bullshit at its finest.

If we can manipulate the frequency and amplitude of the propagating waves of bullshit from each side, maybe we can create a standing wave of bullshit.

Not sure I'd want that...
I'd prefer if they interfered destructively... and... pow... no more BS!

Right, we just need to figure out a way to get the Christian bullshit wave to be 180 degrees out of phase with the Muslim bullshit wave.
Presto chango! Both poof! into nothingness.

When I say The President... He... Him... Who am I speaking of, All of them? or the man in charge?
Again God is a title and it is correct to address a person holding a title by his title. In Jewish and Christian tradition to simply refer to God is to speak of the Father.

"The" ppearently overmatch your wits.
But the president actually exist based on sources infinitely more authoritative than any drich with his  can ever conceive, overreaching as drich might in the vain hope of puffing his idiotic superstition up to some kind of significance.

I don't know man. Calling someone you can't physically see, "father" reminds me of all those kids who have daddy issues. And you see the path most of those kids wind up on.

And if you were in a room with multiple presidents, would you use "the president" to refer to all of them at once?

As such All of the teachings accredited to him fall under the category of False teaching from a false prophet, so it really does not matter which branch of islam you belong to the net result is the same....
Now that that is out of our systems lets move on.
Your book doesn't have a stellar track record with prophesies either, buddy.
