This is just a basic and very condensed paper I wrote on differences of religion recently while trying to understand thousands of years of anamocity between these 3 groups of people. I will use the Biblical names to keep it simple. I mean no disrespect to the people of Islamic faith by doing this it is just to simplify things without making a legend to correlate the names from the diffrent holy books.

There are some huge differences between the three religions in the Middle East, those being Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Now the biggest diffence between Christianity and Judaism is the beliefe or non-belief in Jesus Christ as the son of God and saviour of mankind. The people of the Jewish faith do not believe that jesus was sent by God to absolve humanity of it's sins while Christian believers ( Thats where the Christ(ian) in the word comes from) believe that he was.
The next undelying point between these two religions is the New Testament of the bible. The Jewish religion believes in the Tora which is pretty much the same as the Christian bible's old testamnet. One main diffrence being that Lilith referenced in the Talmud (another Jewish holy boobk) was the first woman created and she was also created out of mud like Adam. Lilith wanted equal treatment and not just to be a companion for Adam. This got her kicked out into the Land of Nod the area outside of Eden. Later lore also states that she bore Cain several "children" who were spirits and demons after he was kicked out of Eden for the murder of his brother Abel.
The Jewish religion is based on the Old Religious Law therefore does not ackwoledge the New Testament of the Bible which allows people to eat pork and such. Also the New Testament hold s the prophisies that tell of the second coming of Christ which the Jewish faith does not belive the First coming has happened.
Now all three religions Holy books, The Bible, The Tora and The Qur'an all have similar stories upto the point of Abraham. While the Bible and the Tora run closely all the way to the end of the Old Testamnet the Qur'an branches right at the story of Abraham this is where the Muslim Religion branches.
In the book of Gensis Abraham married Sarah who was barren so Sarah gave him a hand maiden Hagar, who bore him a son Ismael, which meant God hears. This was Abraham 's first son. Now the next son of Abraham was Isaac who was bore by Abraham's wife Sarah. Now according to both books God had promised to bless the world through Abraham's son both times. Isaac's line extended through the prophets Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David,Solomon, and Jesus. In the bible Sarah asks Abraham to banish Hagar and her son Ishmael to a barren land called Paran in the Qur'an and Ber Sheba in the bible. This place is also known as Mecca.
Now there are several continuity diffrences in both books as to the age of Ishmael when he and his mother were sent into the wilderness but that is a ongoing debate that would take way to much space to cover here. That was just to cover the basis of the schism. Now the Jewish faith believes that Isaac is the fountain of the Israelite prophets. (Note there is no mention of the country of Israel in any biblical or other holy book or on an ancient maps. Not till the country was formed after WWII was there any mention of the country of Israel.) While the Qu'ran does acknowledge all of the prophets of the bible including Jesus they feel Muhammad was the last TRUE prophet of God and all rules and Laws were surpassed and overruled by anything Muhammad proclaimed. And that is basically where the schism in Christianity and Islam is greates.
It seems that all 3 religions belive in the same God just by diffrent names and the only real argument is which prophet is the one true prohet and whose laws and holy books are to be the true path to salvation.
.................................................................................................... ......
So honestly all I see is thousands of years of blood shed and argument over who gets to claim the lineage of the person who truly heard the word of God and who was overruled by the whose prophet. I do not actually practice or follow any of these religions so I really can claim an unbiased view on the research I have done. This information is a lot more in dept but would take pages and pages to explain completely. I see a major correlation between the differences in these religions and the arguments martial artists have over who's style came from where and what was better. It seems to all come down to a matter of lineage. It's sad to break it down to this level and realize countless people have been killed and died for something that has been so convoluted and blown out of proportion when if you follow it down it just came out of a story about a man choosing between two sons ande whos descendants are right or wrong.Especially when on a basic level it's all the same belief system.
Thought opinions? Please be polite and understand every one is entitled to there opinion because this is a religious debate and no body will know the true answer till after they are dead so there is no right or wrong. Only thoughts feelings and information from LOGICAL reasoning to back it up. Belittling people over their feelings on this is just a small minded way to argue, like when your parents said "Because I said so.". Please keep that in mind and keep it civil I know it is easy to get heated over religion but wouldn't the world be a better place if we could discuss it like adults and remeber if you feel you are right and the other persons wrong then I guess they'll go to hell when they die and whats worse than that?
Thank
