“What if I ask God to reveal Himself and it turns out to be Allah?”
Then you are in bigger trouble, because Islam also believes in Hell, but they have no Savior.

It's the same god, Ray. Arabic Christians pray to Allah, just as French Christians pray to Dieu and Germans to Gott.
That being said, you don't really address the question -- what if you die and end up confronting a deity that isn't the one you've been worshiping all your life? What will you say when that deity asks why you didn't worship it properly?
Well, I think the Muslim hell is supposed to be temporary, until you pay for your sins and accept Allah as God, which would be less difficult if he were standing in front of you. If I end up in Muslim hell, I intend to pay for my sins, accept Allah, and finish forever in heaven.
What if you stand before the Scales of Anubis in the Court of Osiris, the mouth of Ammit already watery for your heart, heavy with greed, dishonesty, bigotry and cruelty against your own children?
In my limited knowledge of Islam, they don't deny Jesus as a messiah, just that he isn't Gods son. And as far as Hell goes, it says that only the worst stay there.
At worst if Islam turns out to be correct, evangelcial fundamentalists only get a kick in the teeth. They might be sore about it for eternity, but the only thing that hurts is their pride.
Muslims revere 'Isa: an important prophet in Islam.
I guess you won't want to look up who 'Isa is, eh Ray Cumfart: or daren't?
Ignorance is bliss, eh...?!
@creativerealms
You did not answer the question
It's the same with the likes of Bryan Fischite , and Roycie: they daren't
Can't be having nothing to point fingers of righteous indignation at, eh fundies? You'd have to start being nice to those you hate, and we can't be having that now, can we?! [/Doug Piranha-levels of sarcasm]
Apparently being like real Christians - Quakers or Unitarian Universalists - would kill them.
@Christopher
Islam does not accept Jesus as a messiah. If they have one, it's ol' Mo.
Islam claims Jesus as a prophet of Allah, but anything he might have said was distorted when infidels wrote it in the bible, so bible Jesus is useless. Only Mohammeds guidance (as found in the Koran and hadiths)can get you into heaven.
Ray rejects the Koran, so we know where he's going.
@Thinking Allowed
Not really, Islam is putting half Christianity(including some inherited jewish parts) and half arab paganism and pushing the puree button on the blender.
Pffft! That would be about as much fun as playing Monopoly without a
get out of jail free card. Or once you land on that square there's no getting out.
Why would anybody want to play that?

School. Having to actually learn and know something would be hell to Rayray.
No, you're in trouble, because it would mean you've been depending on a savior who doesn't exist and you haven't been knocking your head on the floor five times a day and visiting Mecca. Same thing if the Orthodox Jews turn out to be right and you've been foolishly eating chicken and cheesecake with the same fork.

You're asking Ray Comfort to apply logic to this. Among the extrmely stupid fundamentalists (or brainwashed ones), even if their view is wrong, then its still correct.
"What if Jesus didn't exist?"
"Then we would all go to Hell because there would be no one to forgive our sins?"
"You know that sin and hell only existed because Jesus was god right?"
@Dizzy
Which part? Her sexual side? Warrior side? The Old Crone? On top though it would probably be just as bad for Ray as he would have said she were the devil or something like that. And it would mean, just like if it were Allah, he relied on a savior who wasn't actually a savior but a man and another prophet of god.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
