Judaism is based on the Old Testament with the promise of a Messiah.
Christianity is based on Christ as the Messiah / Saviour who died on the Cross to pay for our sins and come to God in Christ's name, the Holy Trinity.
Islam doesn't have the Old or Second Testament; they believe the teachings of Muhammad.

Judaism, Islam and Christianity are sister religions. Judaism came first, then Christianity and finally Islam. Moses was the first Prophet sent to the Jews and God revealed unto him the Torah, a modified form of which can be found in the Old Testament ( The first five chapters or the Pentateuch). God followed him up with a line of Prophets such as Joshua, Isaiah, Ezra and others.
Then God sent Christ to the Jews. Some Jews accepted Christ as the Messiah promised in their Scriptures, but most did not. The followers of Christ, under the leadership of Paul founded Christianity after Christ's ascension to Heaven. They took Christ as the son of God, their only saviour. Christians today follow the New Testament which mainly deals with the life of Christ and the letters sent by Paul to the various kingdoms during his missionary activities.
Muhammad was sent as Prophet to the Arabs. The Muslims claim that he is the last messenger of God almighty sent to mankind. God revealed the Quran unto him, which has remained uncorrupted throughout the centuries. Islam believes in all the Judeo-Christian prophets and respects them. However, Muslims recognize Jesus as a mighty Prophet of God, but not son of God.
The conclusion --- Jews are still waiting for the promised messiah, Christians have lost accountability for their deeds because Christ has died for their sins and Muslims believe that both these religions find culmination and completion in Islam. All believe in the same God, yet none of them is willing to "yield" God's heavenly kingdom to the other.

There's a lot but the real short version is this. Judaism doesn't have their Messiah yet so it's incomplete. islam was made by a false prophet so it's a false teaching and not from God. Christianity has the true Messiah, Jesus The Christ and is The Truth.
God Bless.

From Islam point of view:
God sent Moses to people of Israel to guide them. However after serious of events, the people of Israel still chose to follow their sinful ways.
Then, God sent them Jesus to guide them. However, some considered him a bastard disregarding his miracle birth.
Jesus came up with Christianity and had many followers. However, the Jews made many plans to shut him up. They even bribed one of his followers to work for them.
God knew about that so Jesus rose to heaven and God made one of the Jews who planned this to look like Jesus, so the Jews tortured and killed one of them.
Then God sent Mohammed to the whole world with a message to worship one God, pray 5 times a day, fast the month of Ramadan, pay almsgiving, and make pilgremage to Mekkah.
Muslims believe that Judaism and Christianity were the right religion to follow at one time, but not anymore. We respect Moses and Jesus and say Peace Be Upon Them.
Muslims believe that Judaism and Christianity were altered along with thier books.

Christians started out as Jews who believed that Jesus was the savior.
Jewish peopel today do not believe he is the savior.
All 3of these religions have some or alot of the same books in the bible.
Islam believes in Jesus as a phrophet and messiah but not as the son of God.

They are all monothestic, but Judaism believes in the old testament and there being one god with no intermediary. Islam believes that muhammed is the intermediary to allah (god) and they believe in the koran. Christianity believes that Jesus is the son of god thereby being the intermediary and they believe in the bible/new testament
