To Jews and Christians (and others too), if you say Allah is the God of Islam and your God is not the same as mine, doesn't that mean that you are actually believing that there is another God? Doesn't all three monotheistic religions teach that there is only one God?

Judaism, Christianity and Islam share the same God.
This trinity is in fact one.The Christians point to the Torah and say ten commandments, while the Muslims point to the new Testament and say God has no physical son. Changing the name does not change the substance. Abraham and his half sister Sarah made Isaac. Abraham and his second wife Hagar the Egyptian daughter of Imhotep made Ishmael. Abraham, Ishmael and Hagar reestablished Mecca and the Kaaba as a proper house of prostration. Abraham, Jesus and Muhammad were prophets of the same God. For surely if such as God does actually exist such would be and indeed are one. Jesus knew nothing of Churches and never taught in a church.
The Bible John 18: 19 - 21
Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. " I have spoken openly to the world," Jesus replied. " I always taught in synagogues or
at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret. Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said."
Here Jesus admits he is a servant of and to God the father.
The Bible John 8: 27 - 29
They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
Then said Jesus unto them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things. And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
All the Monotheistic ( Abrahmic ) religions say: God is one.
Either God is one or God does not exist.

That's a very good point. The problem with the monotheistic religions is that they don't allow for other gods. This leads to conflicts when people of different monotheistic religions try to convert each other (which they usually try - the more people that believe the same fiction that you do the less people there will be to challenge what you've decided is true and have shaped your life around).

Every religion belief in God. But in Islam there is only one God - Allah swt. May be other religions may have other names, but probably it refers to the same God.

I think there is one god period! Muslims call him Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala (Glory be to Allah the Most High). Others who believe in God call Him God, as well as many other names. There is only one god and he has no partners.
Like someone mentioned earlier, the deciding factor is Jesus and whether or not he is believed to be God in the flesh or a prophet of God. That is what separates people.
::edit:: Angel, he is asking other religions why they feel Muslims worship a separate god. He is not saying he believes it, just asking why they feel that way.

If Christians and Muslims believed in the same God they wouldn't have been killing each other over their beliefs for the last 2000 years. Yes all monotheistic religions teach that there is one God, but they don't have to agree on which God it is

What do you believe concerning the Son of God, Jesus Christ? That is the important question. For whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. (John 5:23) Also read John 5:37-43.

No, but I follow the Bible and the Bible is the word of God. It was created by disciples and followers of Jesus Christ and it says it should not be added to or deleted from. So basically, my God, the creator of the universe sent His son, Jesus to earth to live as a man, die for our sins and will return to bring all that believe He is the Messiah home. There will be a huge following of Jesus after the rapture, but I'm choosing to leave early.

To know "God" is to self discover what you are about. If you wish to claim "God" as "your God", The One "God" ask how can one know such a "God" is about if they do not know their neighbor whom lives two houses away?
Is this so far off base? If so, why so?
If one claims to know what "God" thinks please state how so, can you also claim to know what your neighbor thinks?
If you refer to scriptures isen't it true another can produce Different scriptures all claiming "Gods" word?
The issues of "God" are Interpretations placed into text and later made into religion.
What many call faith many more call distortion.

All monotheistic religions believe in one God, not multiple gods, that is where the similarity ends. The God of the Bible is not allah, He is never referred to by that name. He is called Elohim, Yahweh, Adonai, the great I AM. There are multiple gods, humans are wired to worship something, whether a wooden image, money, another person or a moon god, but there is only one true, sovereign God of the universe, and He is the God of the Bible.

They are 'trying' to teach that there is only one right god and that's their god.
