Mankind has been imperfect and sinful ever since the rebellion in the garden of Eden. Sinful humans tend to struggle for dominance, and this results to indifference and dÃsagreement.(Ecclesiastes 4:1; 8:9)

because whilst christians and jews are taught
(Matt.5:43-48
43 "You have heard that it was said, `Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous
whilst Muslims are told
“When you meet the unbelievers, strike off their heads; then when you have made wide slaughter among them, carefully tie up the remaining captives.” (Quran47.4).
"And when the sacred months are passed, kill those who join other gods with God [i.e. moshrekin.] wherever ye shall find them; and seize them, besiege them, and lay wait for them with every kind of ambush: but if they shall convert, and observe prayer, and pay the obligatory alms, then let them go their way, for God is Gracious, Merciful."(Quran 9:5)
and from this one can clearly see they are not worshiping one and the same God since we (Christians worship jesus the son of God whilst the god of Islam as we are clearly told in the quoran Allah has no sons

That would be great. But humans always have to urge to want to be more powerful than the rest for no real reason. Even animals have more sense than that. They fight for survival... not pride, prestiege, money and ego.
