Islam, Judaism, and Christianity are mono-theistic religions. Compare and contrast each one's understanding of who God is. It would also be helpful to have them speak of who they preceive Jesus to be.

In response to Fred:
I have been a devout, practicing Muslim for 33 years. No apologies. No regrets.
Prior to embracing Islam, I was brought up in Christianity, attended Catholic school for 12 years, and became a baptized and confirmed Catholic prior to graduating from elementary school. I once believed in the Trinity, believed Jesus was God's son, believed Mary was God's mother, and believed everything else considered to be Christian. I don't anymore, and I do not apologize for that. As a Muslim, I view Jesus as an honored, exemplary prophet of Almighty God. Why Almighty God chose Jesus to be born of a virgin mother without the agency of a human father is nothing that I (and the entire Islamic community, for that matter) do not argue over and/or debate about. Regardless of his virgin birth, Jesus was, above all else, a pious, devout servant/prophet of Almighty God. He did his job well, and I believe The Almighty was well pleased with him.
If you're convinced that I'm going to burn in hell-fire for not being Christian any more, then so be it. To each his own. On the Day of Judgment, it will be up to The Almighty to make the final decision as to who enters His Paradise.
May Almighty God bless you!

No it wouldn't.
