Both Muslim AND Christian?

Yahweh did have a passion for the Goddess Asherah.;-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asherah

yeah, to kick her off the peoples' minds, He claimed exclusivity, not inclusiveness, God is not politically correct

Yes,it's only natural God is portrayed as a male in the bible since the ancient hebrews were a very strict patriarchial society.

As Ws put it "God is the unification of the dualism.

from your link, we get this:

Asherah poles in Biblical archaeology
Some Biblical archaeologists have suggested that until the 6th century BC the Jewish people had household shrines, or at least figurines, of Asherah, which are strikingly common in the archaeological remains; many of these seem to make clear that Asherah was seen as Yahweh's (i.e. God's) wife [3]. According to Michael Coogan, editor of The New Oxford Annotated Bible, these claims about Biblical history are "not accepted by the majority of archaeologists and biblical scholars."[4]

Until the Babylonian Captivity cleansed them of their yearning for foreoign gods, Israelites were still had pagan leaning from the people round about, even Solomon died a pagan, he will not be in heaven, a fitting end to the world’s smartest man, he was so smart, he out-smarted himself, thinking he could beat the odds, he married 100’s of wives, that lead his heart to paganism

Even kings could not shake this off:

1Ki 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, [that] his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as [was] the heart of David his father.
1Ki 11:5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
1Ki 11:6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as [did] David his father.
1Ki 11:7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that [is] before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
1Ki 11:8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.

I wonder what these people think of "Both Muslim and Christian"? Seems they're muslims but want to kill Christians. Hmmmm. How unusual.

"A statement by an Islamic group that calls itself the Islamic Emirate of Mosul threatened to kidnap or kill all Christians, whether Students or employees, in Mosul University if they did not leave the university campus in three days.

According to the statement that was posted on city streets, the Islamic group threatened as well all Christians living in Mosul to leave the city within three days or the group will behead any Christian who will remain in the city.

The Islamic Emirate of Mosul had killed four Christians living in the al-Sa'aa and al-Yarmook quarters of the right littoral of the city; after they were kidnapped their bodies were found in the Wadi 'Aaqab cemetery. The group had killed as well two Christians who arrived from Hamdaniya District to Mosul where they worked. The said group murdered another female Christian employee of the Iraqi Central Bank in Mosul."
