First, they are not all the same path. Jesus said that He is the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but through Him. But, you are right on one thing, we shouldn't fight.

You are talking in the most general of terms. The religions differ by more than prophesy and their Savior. Why else would Muslims be killing now for a Holy Jihad? Why would the Muslims hate the Jews so much? Why do Muslims kill and want to control ANYTHING that is different from themselves. Christianity is not based on killing but on love, forgiveness and accepting our Savior Jesus Christ. Christians and Jews are very similar beliefs and many Jews will discover that Christianity is the right way. That has been told of in The Revelation.

We fight because of difference. We always have.
People tend to ignore similarities to point out differences. That's why blacks are discriminated against. Racism, sexism, ageism, whateverism. Despite the fact we're all human and the million other similarities we have, people focus on what's different. Essentially this is what causes wars between all religions. Although it's claimed that Christians, Jews and Muslims all have the same God, its the different names and ways of worship that drive the three religions apart.

When you approach religion intelligently, a very rare occurence, the absurdities of the animosities become readily apparent.
Unfortunately, the reasonable, non-racist, non-prejudiced, non-biogted members of each religion are the silent majority. In contrast the hates are the vocal visible antagonists.
What we need is for the silent majority of each religion to cast aside their fears of embracing each other and to stand up against the divisive violent minority.

Radical Islam is today the biggest threat to world peace. First they intend to deal with the Saturday people, and then with the Sunday people.
The criticisms of the Jews in the Qur’an resulted in the persecution of Jews in Muslim lands--often slavery, deportation, land expropriation, and massacres, resulting from the permanent, uniquely Islamic institutions of jihad and dhimmitude. They had to wear on their clothes the image of an ape. Specifically, the 9th century Tunisian Qadi, Ahmed b. Talib compelled the dhimmi Jews to wear upon their shoulder a patch of white cloth (riqa') that bore the image of an ape, [the Christians were required to wear the image of a pig], and to nail onto their doors a board bearing the sign of a monkey. Apes are mentioned in Judaic texts, but zoomorphic signs were never imposed in the Jewish kingdoms, as was done for Jews and Christians in Islamic lands. Hence the actual implementation of such discriminatory zoomorphic badges is particular to Islam, and the reasons for this must be examined independently, and honestly, without any reference to Judaism.
Jihadists today invoke the Qur’an to justify the worst terrorist crimes. Throat slitting of infidels is mentioned in the Qur’an. Al-Mawardi (d. 1058), the prominent 11th century jurist quoted this verse, specifically, « When you encounter those who deny (the Truth) then strike (their) necks. » (Qur’an 47 :4), in his learned discussion of jihad. This ritual execution is also mentioned in other Muslim legal texts and in narratives of Christian and prominent Muslim historians. Today it is performed against infidels and recorded on videotape for the edification of Muslim audiences.
When the average pious Muslim reads a verse like 2:132 (“And this was the legacy that Abraham left to his sons, and so did Jacob; ‘Oh my sons! Allah hath chosen the Faith for you; then die not except in the Faith of Islam’”) or 3:67 (“Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to Allah’ (which is Islam), and he joined not gods with Allah”), he understands what so many imams tell him: that the true Jews and Christians of today are the Muslims, and the people who go by those names are renegades and rebels against God.
This is of course nonsense.
This argument does not rest on any idea that Abraham or Moses observed specifically Islamic rituals, but on the idea that they were prophets of the True Faith which was restored by Mohammed after it was corrupted by Jews and Christians.
This is of course nonsense.

yes human nature in deed, the vain , ego centered push to prove whos religion is most valuable to society, its kinda of like boys arguing over which brand of car is better really ,No one really has any more value to society then the other. I notice that this ego driven part of human nature is predominately centered in the male of the species , due to all the religions mentioned having a patriarchal structure and basis and deity , holy men etc it is only natural for these ego-driven conflicts to occur

All are not Abrahamic religions but I will not fight with you. But will tell you the truth when asked. When someone takes from the truth and adds a lie it is no longer truth but a lie.When a religion denies God it is no longer God's religion but a religion of man. I will not fight Christ died for you and is your choice to accept or deny him.The Muslim god is not the same God never was and never will be. Study the Torah or Bible and tell me you worship the same God. Not at all Muslims call the true word of God corrupt and follow the teachings of Muhammad who taught that the word of God was holy even though it taught different than he did which leave Muslims the dilemma to follow God or follow Muhammad. they have chosen Muhammad and therefore call the true word of God corrupt.

We might fight but I step back and end up learning alot and respecting other religions and ways of thinking more and more. I stay true to my faith, but have more understanding of where others are coming from.

well, it's because they are so similar. i'm an identical twin, and the person i fight with the most (besides myself) is my twin. we are always tryin to seperate ourselves in everyway we can.
but as we get older, we fight less cuz we realize it's good to have someone you know is like you. maybe someday all those religions will grow up and realize that not only do they have those little religious details in common, but that they are all human beings on earth.
