Well, the problem lies not with religion but with human nature. The desire to be the best community of people --- God's chosen people ---- that is where the problem lies. The Jews were blessed with the great Prophet Moses and the divine revelation, the Torah. As time went by, Moses' message was forgotten, the Torah was tampered with to accommodate the whims and fancies of rich and corrupt people. God then sent another mighty Prophet, Jesus Christ to the Jews in order to reform them. However, they refused to accept Christ, claiming that the Kingdom of God was solely theirs, since God had favored them for centuries and bestowed unto them the largest no. of prophets. A segment of Jews followed Christ's message and became Christians. They too claimed God's kingdom solely for themselves and refused to follow the commandments laid down in the Torah. Then came along another Prophet, by the name of Muhammad, this time not to the Jews but to a brethren community of the Jews, the Arabs. The Jews and Christians both refused to accept him as Prophet. His followers called themselves Muslims. However, their divinely revealed book the Quran somewhat accepts the Christians and Jews as "The People of the Book" on whom God had sent revelations and Prophets. Yet, the Muslims refuse to accept Christ as Son of God but only as one of the great messengers of God. They claim that Muhammad is the last among the line of prophets sent by God to mankind and that all the earlier revelations find completion and fulfillment in the Quran. However, many Muslims today, either out of ignorance or selfishness,do not accept the message of the historical continuity of religion and revelation as mentioned in the Quran. Thus, it is only the weaknesses in human nature that have distorted God's divine, yet simple, message, which has remained the same throughout the ages. That was the message of Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad --- It is the followers who demarcate one religion from another and claim God's mercy solely for themselves. This is what has led to friction between the three communities.

Satan uses religion to keep people fighting with each other the religious leaders even in Jesus day did it for the money and power of being the boss. Using one small doctrineal difference to call the others bad in the eyes of God and them right. When basically all there religions teach the same thing.
A trinity of gods, heaven and hell fire and eternal danation and bless god and get the guns.
Those who don't choose to kill are cowards. So what we have is not what Abraham believed. He believed what God told Adam, when you die you are dust.
The earth will be a paradise and he is to get the middle east for an eternity. That might not be such a reward by the time this thing is over.
But think about it when he comes back in a resurrection and knows that this land you were given by God is where all these things happened. Rebuilding the temple just as it was, where it was and return that land into a paradise condition and find out that his desendants was the lineage to Jesus.
Now that is a gift, for his faithfulness.
Abraham believed in a paradise earth.

The only thing folklore is your matter in this world, I'd suggest you dwell somewhere else where you don't pollute, oops, I guess hell is your only option. Good luck, might want to take a cooling fan.

[36] Maimonides, Responsa, 448

These Muslims [Ishmaelim] are not in any way idolators. [Idolatry] has already been removed from their mouths and their hearts, and they unify G-d in the appropriate manner without any admixture [of idolatrous beliefs].
