I really dont think answers like they believe in one god, make sense here, because every one knows that there is one god.

"What does islam say that other faiths doesnt say.?"
That a prophet of islam is allowed to force a 9 year old child to have sex (pedophilic rape) and it's o.k.
The other faiths don't say that

Islam says there is only 1 absolute God.
Islam says that God has no limits and not even near to human beings physically or mentally just like christian believe Jesus a human being as God.
Islam has only 1 book which is Quran which is truly God words. U can compare the content and see it is unique where u can feel that God is directly command u.
Islam believes that God is fair that he will jot down every single tiny as tiny as a molecule all the bad and good thing u did and from that he will weight ur deeds. If u have more good deeds u will go to heaven and vice versa.. u will go to hell.
Islam teach that Allah forgives Adam and Eves and saved Jesus from the cruelty to be hang and murdered on the cross.
Islam have rules in every way of our lives,, even the rules to go to toilets, to eat, to travel, rules with animals, environments with almost any thing.
There is none human can write almost about all aspect in life such as in Quran..Islam is the most completed religion where in Quran it touches every single field in our life, u will find astronomy, environmental, marine, medicine, etc field was told in Quran. Allah knows everything.

what about this: there is one God, He has no partner nor sons, n none equivalent to Him. He's The Creator, unlike creatures. He lives and never die. He doesnt eat, doesnt sleep, and never feel tired.
man is created to worship God and to be viceroy on earth.
God will forgive all sins for everyone who do sincere repentance and none burden other's sin.
All religions those were brought by God's messengers from Adam to Muhammad have the same message: "Worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"
So, similarities between religion is natural. but for every nations and time, God gave different sharia(laws). Muhammad (s.a.w) is the last messenger of God and he's sent for all nations.
About chosen people, pls read the verse below:
Q49:13. O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.
Convert or die? i think it's popular slander about islam nowadays. let's see verse below:
Q2:256. There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
And, about aisha. none's forced in prophet's marriage with aisha. there's no religion on earth tht i know give any certain age limit abt marriage. if u notice age limit in some countries decades ago, it gave a limit tht is not far from aisha'age. my grandma married when she was abt 13, my friend's mom married when she's around 14, and they didnt have problem about it. as long as the girl mature physically for marriage(already got menstruation), no matter how old is she, she is allowed to marry.

Not everyone believes in God by the way. Anyways Islam gave women right to divorce, inheritance, marriage without any force 1400 years back whereas west has only been giving that to women as of recently. Also Quran talks about many Scientific facts that we learn recently. For example Quran talks about Earths and Moons orbit which was not known 1400 years ago to anyone. Quran also talks about how Moons light is borrowed light which was not discovered till only a few hundred years ago. Quran also talks about the shape on earth which is not exactly round but resembles more to an Ostrich's egg. There are many more examples.

Answering this would take pages. If you are comparing to the Christian faith, Islam believes Jesus was only a prophet of God and not His only Son.
Most Christians won't admit the Allah of Islam is also the God of Abraham...but He is. There are many similarities between the two with one of the major differences being the aforementioned.

Well you are right, when you get down to it, the differences are task-specific and not broad... Islam requires prayers five times a day and it prohibits pork (which is allowed in the New Testament) and it requires something called Zakat (poor due tax @ 2.5% of your idle assets) to be paid annually. the most important difference is perhaps that Islam believes in all prophets from Adam to Mohd and all were according to Islam, sent to spread the same religion whilst their followers managed to attach divinity to some and followed others while concocting beliefs of their own etc.
Apart from that Islam calls for JIHAD (drum roll... count down to hate replies lol) which is a war against your inner self and not blowing yourself up lol. It means voicing the good things to your self and abstaining from the bad ones. Once you are a respected devout person in society, you can request other MUSLIMS to stop engaging in sins and encourage them to pray, give poor due (but not force your way) etc etc. Though the beginning and meaning of Jihad is essentially "struggle against the self".
As for Jesus, he was yet another Prophet and Messenger who is special to Muslims because they believe he will return to gather the believers (not just Muslims, BELIEVERS is a deep term).
And yes, there are hundreds of similarities. Mary is the most respected woman in the Quran (blatantly stated therein) and Jesus is born out of her while she is a virgin; the stories of so many prophets are (almost) the same (Moses, Joseph) and Muslims also believe that Jesus will return and they thus call him Messihah.
Cheers.

Islam states that Jesus was just a prophet only
Not the Son of God
The God of Islam and of Christianity represent the same things to an extent
But it is Christ that holds them back
Edit:
There is no Evidence to prove that God does not exist

Not much, when you get down to it. Lots of claims of peace and brotherhood contrasted to a long history of conquest and violence, belief in the supernatural, miracles, healings, victories in battle, and so on. The only differences are dogmatic...window dressing.
And no, "everyone" does not know that there is one god. Hindus, Pagans and Wiccans believe in multiple gods, and Atheists do not believe in any at all.

As far as I know Islam says many, many things that other faiths also say, but the one that springs to mind as something Islam has all to itself is the belief in Mohammed (peace be upon him) as God's prophet.

ISLAM doesnt require anybody to burn the wife alive after the death of her husband..
Yes there is nothing much different in islam than other faiths.. .But our prophet Muhmmad(pbuh) was selected as the last messenger to this world and he said in his last address that he has completed the religion of God. It was not Prophet Muhmmad(pbuh) who was making the rules of ISLAM but all of those came by revelations. God made the rules and regualtions written in Quran. Read it follow it and be successful in life here and hereafter.,...
To be Muslim is to be in submission and obedience to God. He is the one God who has no partner. Nothing is like Him. He is the Creator, not the created, nor a part of His creation. He is All-Powerful, absolutely Just, All-Knowing, All-Merciful, the Supreme, the Sovereign. There is no entity worthy of worship besides Him.
And Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is messenger of ALLAH.
