Because people like to get others' opinions. You want to get mixed answers so you can make an intelligent decision on your own (especially on tough subjects like religion). Of course, people here on Yahoo! Answers can usually not be trusted to give serious answers (see the answers before mine), nor can they be trusted to take into consideration others' opinions that differ from their own. So you're question is an acceptable one, though your grammar is abhorrent.

I WUD SAY LETS GET TOGATHER AND ACT ON WHAT IS SIMILAR IN OUR RELIGION ..LEAVE WHAT IS DIFERENT...FOR THE SAKE OF UNIVERSALBROTHER HOOD...
Say: "People of the Book(Jews,Chirstians etc) , let us come to common terms agreement
among us that we will worship none but GOD, that we will associate none with
Him, and that we will not set up one another lords besides Him"
If they refuse, say : " Bear witness that we are Muslims."
Mankind! We created you from a male and female, and made you into peoples
and tribes so that you might come to know each other. The noblest among you in
God's sight is the one who best performs his duty; God is All-Knowing, All-Aware.
(Qur'an, 49:13)
He it is Who shapes you in the wombs as He pleases. There is no god but He the Exalted in Might the Wise.
(Quran :3:6)
