Well, who do you suppose created Allah, then? Hint: It's the same god that was created by the exiled Jews who were later invited back to their lands by Cyrus. And this Allah you're referring to is the same deity that hebrews, christians and muslims are all viewing from different angles.

And this single god is the consolidated version of all the deities that had come before then and understandably it's a deity that loves violence and has little to no mercy to those who oppose it. You wouldn't expect people who were oppressed for centuries to create a god that has never-ending love for all humans.

God is an extension of human consciousness that replaces conscience. It's a way to easily delegate responsibilities and defer wrongdoings. It's there so you can contain compartmentalized conflicting thoughts in your head so you don't go insane. You have your god because you can't tell right from wrong. It's like a tick that's attached to your skull and feeds off of your thoughts. Obviously like with any other tick, it's hard to rid of it.
