What are you talking about realtime, your answer doesn't follow. I did use the word "roots" in order to avoid the type of useless critisism you're using...

yes- the same GOD, with different names but they all still believe in the same entity for their central worship

Judaism and Christianity I would say without a doubt yes. It's the same God. The difference is the Jews are still waiting for what the Christians believe have already happened.
While yes Islam does have roots with Abraham, when it split off from Judaism most of the Old Testament or Torah was not yet written. I've never read the Koran to say for sure, but I would believe that when they left Abraham they also left God and basically it became another human religion rather than a Godly belief system. So no I personally believe that Islam does not worship the same God.

yes, all three religions (as well as others) worship God. Abraham is one of His prophets. For those that don't believe it, consider this: if all of them agree that there is only one God, then there aren't any other gods to get confused with. Secondly, I would like to add that there are linguistic differences in what people call God, and you cannot get confused about it. The Arabic word for God is Allah (used by Jews, Christians, and Muslims who speak Arabic). Many Jews refer to Him as Yahweh. Still other groups call Him Jehovah, or the Lord, and countless more names still. If you were to meet a Spanish-speaking Catholic who talked about "Dios," wouldn't it be absurd to say thatCatholics don't believe in God because he believes in Dios? People do the same thing with us Muslims; they say we don't believe in God because we believe in Allah. If they took some time to research, they would know the stupidity in what they were saying. And imagine the first European settlers in North America, who wanted to bring the word of God to the Native Americans who believed in the "Great Spirit." Isn't it the same thing? People can be so blind!
Let's also say for instance that you have a nickname that no-one knows except a few of your friends. This could lead to some mis-communication, but it's only because of the use of a different name, they are not talking about a different person altogether.
So basically what I am saying is: there is only one God, who has been known by countless different names by various cultures around the world.

No, Christians and Jews worship the God of Abraham , Isaac ans Jacob. The Elohim. Muslims worship Allah the moon God, who during the time of Muhammad was married to the Sun Goddess Who bore him three daughters. At one time The Cabbah held 350 Gods in this merchant town. Muhammad narrowed it down to 5. It was later changed to one.

The Quran mentioned The Jews and the Christians as the people of the Book.
But the Quran also mentioned that the majority in both religion failed miserably;The Jews failed because of racism ,extremism
and destructor of environment;whereas the Christians failed because of their deviations in theology.
The are some Jews and Christians sect,according to the Quran, that are true.

My pastor says not. If Jews and Muslims do not accept Jesus as the revelation of God as given to all people, then it is not the same God as He has chosen to make himself known. At one point God revealed himself in the same way to the Jews and Muslims, but at the sending of Christ (and therefore the beginning of Christianity), he made clear that the only way to the Father was through the Son. If another religion does not accept the Son as sent from and part of the God-head, then it is not the same God.

yes its a proven fact that abraham built KAABA the worship place for muslims.. so muslims are their decendents!!
Jews do not consider JESUS anything they call him just an ordinary man...
Muslims faith is not complete without accepting jesus as a Prophet.
SO ALL THREE ARE FOLLOWING 1 GOD!
thats why in Quran, Jews and Christians are called "PEOPLE OF BOOK" and not pagans!

The Judeo-Christian God of the Old Testament, and Jesus Christ of the New Testament are the same, except in the perception of Christians and Jews. Allah of the Islam religion is not the God of the Bible. He is unreachable, capricious, and untrustworthy. Christians follow a God they can have a personal relationship with.

Yes, and No.
Judaism existed pre Abraham. His 2 children though are the ones who began the fight between Muslim and Jew. If it were not for the Jews then there would no Jesus, without a Jesus there is no Christianity.
