Yes. I'm a follower of Islam.

Ok if God has no gender...and I'm kinda leaning towards this too...we refer to him as He though, which Saladin also did, so I dunno why the gender of God is an issue.
Actually, as you probably already know, the word used for God in Arabic is Allah. If you ever read the english translations of the Quran, you'll notice they still use Allah instead of God because(although I'm not a fluent Arabic speaker) I know that the name Allah has no gender or plural. Even Christians in Egypt, Lebanon, Turkey, etc. tend to use Allah rather than God.

I'm going to guess you are a Muslim. The reason for this guess is:
1. You didn't mention salvation through Jesus Christ
I understand what you mean.
But just out of curiousity, why didn't you think I was Jewish?

I think he is more a spirit than a flesh and blood entity and is thus genderless
I think so too. If you don't mind, I just happened to read verses yesterday that I'd like to mention which gives a description of God. I think it speaks for itself.....
{God! there is no god but He the living, the Self-subsisting, the Eternal. No slumber can seize Him nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and on earth. Who is there that can intercede in His presence except as He permits? He knows what [appears to His creatures as] before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of His knowledge except as He wills. His throne extends over the heavens and the earth and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. For He is the Most High, the Supreme [in glory].} (Verse 2:255)
{God is the Light of the heavens and earth; and the similitude of His Light is as a Niche in which is a Lamp enclosed in a Glass like a brilliant star; [the Lamp is] lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is very luminous, though fire has not touched it. Light upon Light! God does guide whom He wills to His Light: And God sets forth parables for men; and He is the Knower of all things.} (Verse 24:25)

So, if God refers to Himself as "Him", who am I to argue?
Indeed.
