    Saying that polytheism and monotheism are actually the same thing and therefore they’re burning their own god is quite a large stretch.

      I didn’t say that. Yahweh used to be a part of a polytheistic religion and over time became the only god. That doesn’t make polytheism and monotheism the same thing, but it does make Allah and God the same god as the Yahweh from the original polytheistic religion.
