Why are they intent on killing each other, is it God's will?

It is NOT God's will that people kill each other. Human beings, because of their greed, manipulate religions for their own benefit. Religions do not kill, people do!!!

By Abrahamic religions I believe you mean Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Judaism holds to the same Scriptures as the Christian Old Testament, however, they deny the deity of Christ, thus their torah contains no New Testament, and they painfully await the appearance of their own "messiah". Since Christians believe Jesus to be God and worship Him, how could Judaism and Christianity believe in the same God. Clearly they do not. Now I strongly hold to the fact that God will lead his chosen people, "The Jews", to the truth, however for now I believe them to be spiritually blind. Islam in no way shape or form believes in the Christian God. The deny Christ's deity, worship a false prophet...Mohammed...., and the core Islamic doctrine contradicts the Christian Scriptures on every level. For example, the muslims believe that God chose Abraham's son Ishmael to carry on His Kingdom, when Christians and Jews believe God chose the other son Isaac. And if you study the wars in the Middle East you can clearly see who initiates the wars...I'm not gonna name names, but I'll give you a hint...they don't worship the true Living God.

-there are personality/action differences between the Jewish and Islamic Gods. They are different guys, believe me. I read the scriptures and they were totally different.
-It's not a question of God, it's a question of where Jesus fits into it. That's the main disagreement between the three.
-It's mostly the Muslims trying to kill the other two. For the most part, Christians just want to convert and Jews just want to sit alone and think they are the best/chosen. I'm not saying this applies to ALL Muslims, but the militant ones are violent. Militant Christians are mostly just loud these days, except for a few gangs in Africa that fight Muslim gangs.
-I don't think it's God's will at all, but people will twist anything they can to get power. Anything can be twisted. Duh. We can't control what they do, but we can live our own lives with peace and love and intelligence, nomatter what group we belong to.
-Sure God lets it happen. That's free will. But ten bucks says he'll make something good out of it in the end. It's what he does best. The shadow proves the sunshine.
Bottom line: Although the father might be similar, they are debating the son.

No it is not God's will. However, there is rivalry between the believers of the various religions. For example, there are Jewish believers who believe in God but think that Christians are a corruption of the faith in the true God, they think that Islam is a corruption of the truth about the true God. That belief would not be bad except that it is not true that Christianity is a corruption of the faith in the God that was the God of Abraham. It is really the fulfillment of the belief in the God of Abraham.

They are all monotheists, and therefore all believe their god is the one and only true god. Also they believe that their way of worshipping their only "true" god is the only right way to do it. Thus all others are therefore wrong, sinful or have not seen the error of their ways. It is called intolerance of other's beliefs, and causes a lack of mutual respect between these religions evolved from the same original core religion. Polytheists have much more tolerance generally for the faith and gods of others, because they believe in multiple gods and goddesses, and have respect for many more than they personally choose to worship. .

I'm not sure your basic premise is correct. I don't believe the God of the Bible is the same as the God of the Koran. But even then, we aren't intent on killing each other. I have no desire to kill anyone and nor do most people, if they follow their faith truthfully.

The Christians and the Jews believe in the same God. The rest that claim they are following the same God are mistaken. The only way to the Father is through the Son, Jesus Christ. The Old Testament points toward Jesus....not Mohammad or Joseph Smith...or any other....

They don't and that's why some want to kill the others.
Those who want to kill the others, don't really believe in the God or the Bible, although they make the false claim that they do.
Jesus said that one way we would know who the true believers really are is by the way they love one another.
John 13:34-35 (NIV)
34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."

According to some of the apocryptic text, such as the christian book of revelation God reveals that he will destroy mankind because of his wickedness.
Abrahamic faiths all agree that there was a flood and God killed everyone but Noah and his family. The rainbow is supposed to be a symbol that God will never again destroy the earth with water. Not that he will never again destroy the earth.
So yes I would say that the apocalypse would be the will of God.

No. Jesus mentioned, "If ye love me, shop my commandments", John 14:15, and defined that people who do no longer, do no longer recognize the comforter, the Holy Spirit of reality. study the entire financial disaster of John 14 in case you desire to take heed to the authentic attitude that concerns. As Judaism and Islam do no longer settle for Jesus by way of fact the firstborn Son of God, the Christ and God, then they do no longer recognize the God of Abraham, even nevertheless they declare too. they are in darkness, till the God of Abraham, the daddy of Jesus, attracts them to have self assurance in Jesus, John 6:40 4.

Misinterpretation of the quran, its like fundamentalist Christians - they believe and follow every word literally and some passages have multiple meanings. It's like the bible stating that women who touch other mens penis' should have their hands cut off, what if they're doctors? Unlike Christianity where often people believe some of the passages are dated and no longer to apply to a modern World, most muslims believe all the rules of the quran should be followed and as I said previously, these can be interperated.
