This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
Differences exists, but not to the point of what Sly was quoting; it's irrelevant because all three are believers in God/Allah/Yahweh, not non-believers
I still disagree. There certainly have the same start-point of Abraham. However, that doesn't mean they're the same God. Taking Christians, they literally believe Jesus Christ was God, while Muslims and Jews don't. This seems, to me, to be quite a big discrepancy.

With that in mind, I don't see how you can reasonably claim that the God of Christianity is ontologically identical to that of Islam or Judaism.

something something quran

"Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians -- whoever believes in God and the Last Day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor shall they grieve" (2:62, 5:69, and many other verses).
It's almost like extremists shouldn't be considered examples of any religion or group.
They shouldn't; jihadists and far-righters alike. They both pervert the Word for their own dark, twisted ideas and for Satan himself

Spoiler
Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

Quran (9:5) - "So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them."

What sparked the Barbary wars^

Quran (4:95) - "Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward,-"  This passage criticizes "peaceful"
So perverted, I don't see how jihadists can justify their actions.
k, you realize Christians, Jews, and Muslims believe in the same God, correct?
Okay?  They obviously don't hold the same beliefs.
No, but they share enough to be grouped together and to not be considered entirely different

By who, you?  Muslims and Jews don't believe in Jesus or that he was divine, which is a big difference.

We believe Jesus is the Messiah. Jews believe the Messiah has not yet come. Muslims see Jesus as a Prophet of Allah. Same God, just a difference of who Jesus us. Hell, Jesus was a Jew and the first Christians were Jews who felt Jesus was the Messiah; it's essentially just a schism

By the scripture of other Jews and Muslims. All three recognize Jesus, but who he was is one of those differences. Jews don't believe Jesus is the Messiah. Muslims see Jesus as a Prophet, like Abraham and Moses

Yes, Jesus is God in human form. The issue Isn't the denying of God, it's the denial of Jews that this individual claims to be God/Messiah

Which is exactly my point.

Their god is ontologically and metaphysically distinct from your God. It's essentially the difference between Christians and Hindus - just far less removed.

there's also the doctrine of the trinity which is heretical in Islam.

They shouldn't have to be underground, though
