All three Abrahamic religions share the same roots (monotheistic belief in a jealous god, among others). Judaism is the tree and Christianity and Islam the branches of this tree. As such, they share many common beliefs in morality. Despite as it appears, the three actually are supposed to follow the 10 commandments of moses, one of which is 'thou shalt not kill' - but we won't go into that there.
The enmity between the 3 also stems from their commonality. According to Islamic tradition, Ismahel (the son of Abraham by his slave woman) was the founder of the arabic tribes and ultimately an ancestor of Mohammed. Therefore the arabs hated the jews for what they considered to be a terrible wrong done to them. The Christians dislike both Islam and Judaism as neither will admit Jesus is god. Islam dislikes Christianity mostly because the Christian crusades in the middle ages caused much suffering and bloodshed. The Jews have problems with Christians because of the persecution of them throughout christian histosry. Hope this is enough info for this answer. There are thousands of articles, papers, books, etc. on this subject if you want to delve into it further

I think this question has been answered but the hostility was kind of unnecessary. Neither one of these religions teaches to kill; however killing has been done throughout the years by power-hungry, ignorant and biased rulers.
Teaching of a religion should not be confused with the wrong doing of a so called "believer". People who disregard the teaching of any specific religion should not be considered the followers of that religion.

Jesus said to go out and preach to all the world, and those that wont listen, shake the dust from your feet and move on.
It's saying not to force people to try and come to Christ but to let them choose to come.
And as you can see with other religion, Islam for example; they try to with guns and explosives, force people to join there religion.
So the main differences is in the way were suppose to go about preaching and teaching to people

Jehovah's Witnesses are UNIQUE among self-described "Christians" in that they actually *DO* believe in the same monotheistic, non-trinitarian Almighty Father as Jews did and typically still do.
Jehovah's Witnesses are great students of the Hebrew Scriptures (they even refuse to call it an "Old Testament"). Jehovah's Witnesses appreciate the richness and robustness of the Law and the prophets, and recognize the literal thousands of ways they point toward Christianity. They recognize that a substantial number of the "kings and priests" who rule forever alongside Jesus must be ethnic Jews.
Jehovah's Witnesses are also unique in applying many of the principles of God's dealings with the nation of Israel to the modern Christian congregation.
Regarding their rejection of the so-called "trinity", Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.
(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation
(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.
(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God
(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God
(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth
(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak
(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am
(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him
(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father
(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God
(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.
(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah
(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him
Thanks again for an opportunity to share what the bible actually says about the distinct persons of Jesus Christ the Son and Jehovah God the Father!

The three faiths are rather different. Not just in regards to the points you mention but in most of their respective theologies.

Nope monotheists all agree.
If someone doesn't think like you and they are not part of your religion KILL THEM!
Just look at history the monotheistic evil is obvious if you actually open your eyes and see it!
