Muslims, Christians & Jews pray the same God-The God of Abraham, Isaac &Jacob, but when it comes to Jesus, opinions diverge, though we share the same basic doctrines.

Muslims beleive that Jesus Christ (p) is the Messenger of God, a noble Prophet, like the Prophets before him and the last Prophet that followed him, Muhammed (p).
We believe in his miraculous birth and his miracles which he did by God's permission. The healing of the blind and the lepers and raising the dead with God' Will.
The Qur'an mentions Jesus Christ (p) by name 25 times, that's five times more than Prophet Muhammed (p) himself (4 times as Muhammed (p) and once as Ahmad(p) ). An entire chapter is named after his mother, Mary (p), who is the most honored woman in Islam.
The only real point of division between Islam and Christianity is the Christians insistence on the divinity of Christ (p), which Muslims do not beleive. It is perverse for us to think that a man, any man, can be God or God-incarnate or be His son.
Neither do we beleive that God has to die Himself or kill His 'son' to atone for the sins of mankind. That doctrine is simply silly to us. God is all-powerful. If He wants to forgive, He can simply will it.
You might find it interesting that the word 'trinity' does not appear in the bible even a single time.
However, you will find it in the Qur'an three times. Care to take a look bro?

First off Muslims do not pray to the same God as Christians and Jews. Musilms pray to allah who is the moon god of muhammeds day and not the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. Muslims and Jews do not have the same basic doctrines as Christians. Jews and Muslims live by their own works and hope to earn heaven while for Christians eternal life is a gift in Jesus Christ. This and many other areas differ between the three.
As for you main question:
Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet but not the Son of God.
Jews acknowledge His existance but refuse to believe He is the Savior.
Christians believe Jesus is God the only begotten Son of God, God who came to earth in the flesh to die for our sins. He rose again the third day and ascended to the right hand of the Father where He ever lives to make intercession for us. He is coming back to remove the church by the rapture and will seven years later return to set up His kingdom on earth. There is no other name that men can call on to be saved.

The Jews claim that Christ was the offspring of an adulterous relationship.
The Christians believe that Jesus was one person in the God of the Trinity.
The sources of Islam makes it abundantly clear that Isa, the Messiah, was, in fact, a messenger who was sent to the Israelites.

Jesus can only be one of three things.
1. A liar.
2. A madman.
3. The Son of God who came to save mankind from his sins.

jews have differing opinions depending on how politically correct they are. the sensitive ones say "jesus was a nice guy with valuable teachings." the blunt ones say "jesus was a false idol."
either way jesus is not accepted in judaism as a prophet, son of G-d, or saviour.
EDIT
"Jews have gained trillions of dolllars based on that fraud at no direct cost to themselves."
wtf? all we have gained from jesus is constantly being burnt, gassed, machete'd, hanged, threatened, and harassed by his loving followers.

Jews think Jesus is the greatest fraud they have perpetrated to date.
Jews have gained trillions of dollars based on that fraud at no direct cost to themselves.
Oh, what a friend Jews have in Jesus.
Jews see him as profit.
Muslims think he is a prophet.
Response to "wtf":
Jews have profited enormously from the Jesus myth. Jews claim they have been persecuted since before they invented the Jesus myth, so what is your point about persecution?
