They are false religions.
Man made religions.
For there is no other Name, given amongst men whereby we must be saved. That Name is Jesus. He alone can save us from our sins. Man-made religions are about trying to attain to be good enough for Heaven, however, the Bible says, for all have sinned and fallen short of God's standard.
For it is by GRACE we are saved through FAITH not of works lest any man should boast.
It is about what Jesus Christ has done for us, not what we can do to attain eternal life.

I agree with the person who said that the "one" thing all three groups have in common is that they are people, human beings.
Other than that, there is nothing that I am aware of. Each group has its own distinctive beliefs.
One very important distinction between Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons and Muslims, is that Jehovah's Witnesses believe only in the Bible.
Mormons have another authority, the Book of Mormon. Muslims have the Qur'an.
For Jehovah's Witnesses, the sole and only authority is the Bible, just as it was for our Lord Jesus Christ, who was fond of saying, "It is written..." In the case of Jesus, he referred to what was written in the Tanakh (Hebrew Scriptures).
As Christians, Jehovah's Witnesses follow both the Hebrew Scriptures and the inspired writings of Jesus' apostles, often called the "New Testament" but more accurately referred to as the Christian Greek Scriptures. Together, these make up the Holy Bible, upon which Jehovah's Witnesses base our beliefs alone.

The Jehovah's Witnesses are not a cult. They are true Christians.
The Jehovah's Witnesses are well known for the fact that they reject firmly everything that has pagan origins and false teachings such as Christmas, Easter, trinity, afterlife, immortality of the soul etc.
They are the only ones who go from door-to-door in an organized way respecting Jesus' and his apostles' example.
"And every day in the temple and from house to house they continued without letup teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ, Jesus." -- Acts 5:42
"Now he summoned the twelve, and he initiated sending them out two by two, and he began to give them authority over the unclean spirits." -- Mark 6:7

Islam and J.W's obey the commandment to NOT makle images of ANYTHING under the sun.
I am not sure of the quran scripture, but the N.W.T. states;
(Exodus 20:4-5) “You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything that is in the heavens above or that is on the earth underneath or that is in the waters under the earth. 5Â You must not bow down to them nor be induced to serve them, because I Jehovah your God am a God exacting exclusive devotion, bringing punishment for the error of fathers upon sons, upon the third generation and upon the fourth generation, in the case of those who hate me;
The tendency with any sort of religious ICON, is to bow down to it. Allowing it to represent God.
Yet God's thoughts, as expressed by Jesus, state;
(John 4:23) Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him.

That they don't believe in a pagan trinity and call it Jesus.
Mar 13:32 But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

Delusions. They also have a curious dissatisfaction with reality. That's rather strange if they think some supernatural being to whom they are devoted, actually created it. As an atheist, I find the Universe and everything in it absolutely marvelous. It seems mostly humans with convictions of the supernatural or economic variety that are stuffing it up. Largely by avoiding reality - perhaps because if they confronted it they would have to let go their delusions and pre-conceptions, and do something about it.

Mormons can only get their young men to preach regularly, and only as a requirement for marriage.
Islam as tried, like most every other religions has tried and failed, to do house to house preaching. Their members just don't have the heart to be that dedicated to their beliefs.
Witnesses don't have to require it, as being a Christian is what they are and not just something they do on Sundays.

Perhaps a disbelief in the Trinity? Other than that, practically nothing.
