The jews invented god on their own. By this I mean once there was several Gods or thousands, gods for every occasion , even, or thing on earth,including lighting, rain, thunder , water, ect.
the jews came up with the idea of a single god with it in mind that they might be able to unite their people as different gods were the cause for their being fractionated and always into slavery.
These first old god makers were cunning. they developed a god that could not be seen,(made it a sin to worship any gods which could be seen)could not be heard except for a few chosen and than was ssoooooooooo terrible that this name could not be spoken aloud, or death would fall upon you. With the arrival of Jesus claiming to be the son of the Jews god(make sense because Jesus was Jewish) the god theory began to spread (helped by Jesus's people. 450 years later or close the roman empire lay claim to the Jesus saga and started a new religion using the same highly recognizable jewish god already in place,
About 1600 years ago an unemployed Arab decided life was easier being in charge than working and he established Islam. he like the Romans made use of an established religion, and god, barrowing or plagiarizing quotes form both the Jewish/christian religion but also from old hindu texts he got hold of somewhere. this is how and why they worship the same religion.

Lets say that Jews, Christians and Muslims should worship God in the same way.
There should be no difference in the worship of God among Jews, Christians or Muslims. If we would get rid of the politics and the old traditions within every religion, we would all submit fully to the one true God and live a life of peace and unity.

No.

First of all it must be emphasized that Jews and Christians do pray to the same God. We share the same Scriptures. The New Testament is built upon the Old Testament and there are no contradictions between them.
Both are absolute truth. There is ONE Bible and ONE revelation.

The same is NOT TRUE concerning Islam. They are not worshipping the same God as Jews and Christians. Let's look at the clear facts. Mohammad grew up in Mecca in Arabia, belonging to the Quraysh tribe in charge of idol worship at the Kabah shrine, containing the black stone and at least 360 idols. The word for god or idol in Arabic is "ilah." Allah was the name for the main idol worshiped in Mecca. The name was probably originally derived from the two Arabic words "al" and "ilah", meaning "the god" or "the idol."

Allah was also used as THE PERSONAL NAME among the Arabs for the moon god. Its symbol was the crescent moon found on many idols from pre-Islamic Arabia. Every year there was a pilgrimage to Mecca to worship Allah at the black stone. People were taught to turn towards Mecca several times a day. One month every year, beginning and ending with the crescent moon, was dedicated to fasting.

Mohammad built upon all of these already known forms of idol worship. The only thing that was new was that Mohammad declared the pagan moon deity "Allah" to be the only true god and forbade the worship of all the other idols in Mecca. The basic confession within Islam is, "Allah is greater [greater than all the other idols]. There is no god but Allah and Mohammad is his prophet." Professor Augustus H. Strong makes an accurate assessment in his "Systematic Theology" when he declares that Islam "is heathenism in monotheistic form." Mohammad simply took the chief deity within the pantheon in Arabia, and made it the only god, keeping the pagan practices associated with this idol worship. This is of course in complete contradiction to the basic message about the one and true God found in the Bible, both in the Old and the New Testament, where idol worship is strictly forbidden. Abraham was chosen to leave cult worship surrounding the moon god in Ur of the Chaldeans, to go to a different land, in order to give mankind the revelation about the only true God as a loving Father and Savior.

To confuse the issue, Mohammad declared that Allah is the god of the Jews and the Christians. Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus were all prophets sent by Allah. Since Mohammad's beliefs did not agree with the Scriptures, Mohammad declared that the Jews and the Christians have perverted the Scriptures. Therefore Allah has rejected them and cursed them and has sent Mohammad to replace the Bible with the Koran; and to replace Judaism and Christianity with Islam. It is the duty of Islam to subjugate and destroy the infidels, the Christians and the Jews. Islam is Satan's most powerful and successful plan to destroy true faith in the God of the Bible.

In Islam religion and politics are joined together. Allah is not primarily interested in individuals. Love is a completely foreign concept in Islam. Allah is destined to rule the world. That is the basis of Islam. Everything else is related to this goal. The world is divided into two parts, Dar-al-Salaam meaning "House of Peace" where Allah rules and Dar-al-Harb, "House of War" where the people are not in submission to Allah and Islam.

The idea was that Christianity superceded Judaism and that Islam superceded Christianity. That is, each later religion took over the special relationship with G-d. So the official, original line was that, yes it's the same god.

From the Jewish point of view, maybe it's the same G-d, but you wouldn't know it from the way He/She/It is worshipped. The Christian idea of G-d feels very different from the Jewish ideas. But then, the saying is two Jews, three opinions,* so we can cope. ;-)

Most definitely YES! G-d is G-d. G-d is One, the concept of the Jew and Muslim. Allah is the Arabic word for G-d. He is even called Allah in the Arabic Christian Bible. Mohammad taught Islam to the pagan tribes of the region. He is their Prophet. Christians go one step further in this They add Jesus to the equation as holy. Tho I do not understand this concept, it is their belief. I was raised a Christian and converted to Judaism because I could not accept this concept. To me, G-d is One.

yea. every religion who believes in one god worships the same god. like me im neither of those but i still worship our god but in a different way.(im an angelic) that doesnt mean he doesnt appreciate my way or your way.think of them as different point of views that end up in a same conclusion. if you are a muslim that doesnt mean you wont go to church and pray to God there. He's still listening you. It's not important how you do it. it's important to do it.

Jews and Christians do, but Allah is not YHWH. Allah has no only begotten Son. Two different gods.
