This is from post 81 in this thread http://www.answering-christianity.com/satan.htm In it it has another link titled that the bibles fallen angels are djinn. In the article it states in the very first sentence that satan in islam is not the same as satan in the bible. Your own links refute what you are saying.

Ok. Everyone take a deep breath and calm down. Let's keep the rhetoric on an even keel.

That does;nt say that they are christian angels or christian Jinns,it says in Bible also writen same thing forSatan and Jinns.. Why there are Jews Jinns,\Muslim Jinns and Christian Jinns you know?
What it mean is that the concept is same in al the 3 religions, which you are not accepting at all.

How can they be the same when the very article you cite states in the very first sentence that they are different? Which is correct, you or the author of the article you cited?

Both are correct, you are taking the meaning wrong,in all the articles its clearly said, that Satan, jinns are all made up of fire. I think you have;nt read it carefully

Oh I have, according to the very first sentence in the article it states quite clearly that the satan of the bible and koran are different. Yes it goes on and tries to equate angels and djinn using by using islamic definitions of what they are made of and even then it is a specious argument (ignoring that arguing whether they exist at all is also specious). The article states djinn are made of a smokeless fire, it doesn't mention it but also this fire has to be invisible and non radiative as well. It then states angels are made of light. This is where the fun starts, the article states that fire is the same as light and I'm guessing you agree but let's look at what the two things are, as scotracer stated fire is no more than ionized gas and light is comprised of photons. So what your article is actually saying is that ionized gas is the same as photons which is patently untrue.

Not only that, but trying to equate Jinn with angels still does not meet the challenge

So which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?�
