That depends on each person's particular concept of God. My understanding of God is that Gos is loving and forgiving. I'm sure that most Muslims also have a loving, forgiving God, but not all. Neither do all Christians have a loving and forgiving God, but remember the extremes are only a small number on either side of the bell curve, outside of the normal one, two or three deviation from the norm within any statistical population. Each person's concept of God depends on many influences including interpretation of God's word, the part of God's word receiving the most emphasis, other's teaching of God's word, and each individual's psychological, economical, environmental, religious, and social backgrounds.
