The association between the "God" of ancient Jews and that of Muslims is variously supported and disputed by academics
In any case, post modernist philosophers would argue that the meaning of "God/Allah" is context dependent and fluctuates from moment to moment, according to the social dynamics of the interlocutors.
)Indeed, it is that fluctuation which religionists attempt to counter by claiming that "God" is an eternal unchanging entity. But this leads to a problematic paradox even for pantheism (God is everything) since permanence implies that "change" is an illusion, and therefore "creation" is also an illusion !
You can dance and sing to your heart's content. Jews don't call their god Allah(i told you about this ... stupid boy!). That list you posted is a stark example of Muslim panegyrics to Allah. Fresco has, i think, correctly identified your notion of god as pantheism. I see nothing about your posting here which suggests that you are open to new ideas. Abraham is, for all that any reliable record can show, a mythic individual. To say that Moses and Mohammed were both descended from Abraham is laughable.

pantheism is not means "god is everything", if you don't know something you can just say and ask me and ... i can tell you(if i want...of course ), u have no education about philosophy. shame on you!
My apologies ! Up until now I did not realize I was dealing with a fool.
The definition for "Pantheism" given in the Dictionary of Cultural Literacy is: "The belief that God, or a group of gods, is identical with the whole natural world; pantheism comes from Greek roots meaning "belief that everything is a god."
By contrast, "panentheism" is the doctrine that God includes the world as a part, though not the whole, of "his" being.
An example of "Panentheism" is given by Fr. Charles Cummings, a Trappist-Cistercian monk, author of Eco-Spirituality: toward a reverent life. In Cummings approach, "Pantheism exaggerates divine immanence to the point of identifying God and the universe. The Judeo-Christian tradition maintains both that God is immanently in all things (or all things are in God) and the God is transcendentally beyond all things. "
For Fr. Cummings, "Reverence for nature is not irreverence for God; reverence for nature does not diminish our reverence toward God. God need not compete with nature for our reverence. Rather, we can reverence God by reverencing nature, because all creation is permeated with God's presence."
Similarly, Michael Fox has found value in a panentheistic approach. He writes: "The pantheism that regards the totality of Nature as being God (i.e.., that God is swallowed up in the unity of all) rather than an aspect of divinity is quite distinct from monotheistic pantheism. This monotheistic pantheism conceptualizes God as the all-inclusive essence or substance, the first cause of the universe, with many attributes, including intelligence, which we can perceive in Nature's lawful harmony. This form of pantheism would be better termed panentheism."
In short, the philosophy of "panentheism", as distinct from strict "Pantheism", believes in the immanence of God(-----!!!!), but also in its Transcendence. By contrast, for strict Pantheists, like Ernst Haeckel, John Burroughs, and Joseph Wood Krutch, God and the Universe are one and the same, and the concept of a transcendent deity is abandoned.
