"What was silent in the father speaks in the son, and often I found in the son the unveiled secret of the father." - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Perhaps we should ask instead, why did we forsake God?
I think your focus on the trinity, while interesting for me, is an obstacle for you. Rather than using it to create distinctions between yourself and Christians, use it to unify. Afterall, both Christians and Muslims love God.
I am sure the decision was God's, just as God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son. God wants no more (or less) from us than what he expects from himself. In fact, isn't that what Jesus promises? He says that we will be served by God and Jesus in the afterlife, if we serve God in this life.
It is important that we serve God in this life, and not serve ourselves while claiming to serve God. He will not judge that very kindly.
