The Trinity
You Christians cannot even agree on the nature of your God or the Trinity, and yet you criticize Islam without understanding it.
Quick answer
Christians believe in the doctrine of the Trinity, which is foundational to their faith and is supported by Scripture. While there may be differing interpretations among Christians, the core belief in one God in three persons remains central, and critiques of Islam should be based on a thorough understanding of both faiths.
