The main topic of the Qur’an is God’s relationship with humanity. The Qur’an summons humans to acknowledge God's sovereignty over their lives and invites them to submit to his will. The chief doctrines laid down in the Qur’an are that only one God and one true religion exist; that all people will undergo a final judgment, with the just being rewarded with eternal bliss and the sinners being punished; and that when humankind turned from truth, God sent prophets to lead the way back. The greatest of these prophets were Abraham, Moses, Jesus Christ, and Muhammad.
according to this christians and muslism are of the same faith.
why fight about how to follow the rules of religion. why say one is better than the other when it is ULTIMATELY the SAME.

Lack of understanding and communication. Dialog is needed.

A prophet is a person that God speaks through. God is never wrong and never disagrees with Himself. Jesus never disagreed
with anything that Moses or the other prophets said.
If Muslims acknowledge Jesus as a prophet, then why does the
Qur'an disagree with what Jesus said? The Qur'an contains many passages from the Jewish Scriptures that are also Christian Scriptures, but in the Qur'an they are changed dramatically. Muslims say that is because the Jews changed the original scriptures to deceive people. How could that be? The
Jewish Scriptures were written many hundreds of years BEFORE the Qur'an was written.
You say that the Jews, Christians, and Muslims worship the same God. How could that be? The Muslim God says that Muslims should conquer other peoples (nations) by war and give the conquered people the choice of: becoming Muslim, becoming a slave, or death. Somehow I missed that in The Bible.
Jesus said that in Heaven there will be no giving or taking in marriage. The Qur'an says that in Heaven each man will have, how many virgins to have sex with? I forget. And what about the women? What do they get in Heaven according to the Qur'an?

I am not a theologist BUT I am going to give you my viewpoint anyway :)
Like Rigo said, first there is their troublesome past; crusades, wars, etc.
Second,more fundamentally, the character of religion is trust in a view about the world (despite any direct proof). For Christianity and the Islam it is an unshakeable and dedicated belief in their god and, more importantly, in their god's word.
Since God's or Allah's word is only expressed via the Bible and Qur'an, which both differ in the 'holy word', they have a different unshakeable and dedicated beliefs. A belief does not accept different views, so the group can not accept eachothers views as 'truths'. For example, jezus was never crucified in the Qur'an and not the most important prophet; that's was Mohammed.
Third, conflict does not only come forth from different religions. Even in the main religion there a arguments and, even worse, direct conflicts. Like the calvanists and protestant movement a long time ago.
Bit of a bummer huh?

Well, I believe there are certainly many similar features and they acknowledge the same prophets but they disagree on who the ultimate prophet is that will get you in to heaven.
These religions have been fighting for hundred and hundreds of years ever since the crusades, they have a long history with lots of blood on both swords.
But yes I agree that the feud is silly.

My guess is that no one has ever taken the time to explain this to each of them and if they did then they just rather kill each other then to want to get along.
It's to stupid to even try to understand their reasoning's for why they are killing each other because as you said they do have a lot in common but they won't admit it no matter what.
Maybe if they had a chance to think deeply about all of this it might make a bid difference but it doesn't sound like either are willing to stop killing long enough to think past their weapons.
Sounds like they'll be at it until someone nukes the whole world and then it won't matter any more, will it.

esaw and jacob are described in the bible as the two brothers that will always be at war esaw being the arab world and jacob being the jews the bible.
"The Biblical narrative describes Jacob and Esau in the womb of their mother Rebekah as being locked in constant struggle and combat. The narrative continues that she could not bear the pain of her pregnancy, yet is told by God that she will give birth to two nations who will always be locked in symbiotic combat each one trying to overpower the other. Later Jacob is described as a dweller of tents and Esau is a wild hunter".
hope this helps

It's been that way since the biblical times, they probably don't even know why anymore, they just do as a matter of cultural habait.
Oh, and they're probably still sore from all the raping and pillaging the christians did during the "Crusades".
