Christianity believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He rose from the dead, and He is coming back to rule on earth for 1000 years. They believe in God the Father, God the Son, And God the Holy Spirit.
Muslims believe that Allah is God, and Mohamed was their greatest Prophet, although they don't deny the existence of Jesus Christ, he does not feature in their religion. Muslims are Islam, and Islam is really 'movement."
The Jewish people believe in the same God as the Christians, but they don't believe that Jesus was the Messiah, that their prophets told them about. They are still waiting for their Messiah. (Anointed One)
That is just putting it in plain language. Without going into historical and religious details. Because that only leads to more bashing and squabbling.

Similarities:
- They are the "Abrahamic" religions. That is, they all claim to have roots with Abraham and his revelation to a particular kind of monotheism.
- They also have SOME of the same scripture, more or less (mainly different translations of the Torah, etc.).
- They each claim "No, WE are the ones who really got the right message from that one and only one deity. And we really have the best book too."
- They've been claiming divine rights to the same piece of the middle east for centuries
Differences:
- Judaism was long-sinced formed before the alleged time of Jesus. Christianity was formed long before the alleged time of Mohammad. So these religions do not view anybody later than themselves as prophets.
- Christianity, as the name implies, is centered around Jesus as described in the Gospels which includes the death and resurrection. Judaism does not consider Jesus the messiah or any other sort of prophet (even though some sects of Christianity do not necessarily consider him the messiah either, but one to establish the "Kingdom of God"). Islam recognizes Jesus as a prophet but explicitly do not believe in the crucifixion.
- Christianity doesn't seem to have nearly as much of a stress on dietary laws, clothing laws, nor studying scripture in the original language.
- Islam has the fiercest emphasis on monotheism, even though all 3 religions are monotheistic. Ditto for rejecting anything that could remotely be used for idolatry in any interpretation.

Judaism was the world's first monotheistic religion; in other words, the first to declare that there is only one G-d.
Jesus sought to change or modify certain aspects of Judaism, and people that came after him - also Jews - gradually developed Christianity. Jesus and the first disciples were all Jewish.
Christians claim that Jesus was the messiah.
Jews do not believe that the messiah has arrived yet.
Islam also developed from Jewish roots; Abraham's son with Hagar, Ishmael, is the father of Islam. Muslims believe in Mohammed.
Islam and Judaism have quite a few similarities. Muslims eat halal meat, Jews have kosher meat. Devout Muslims pray five times a day, devout Jews pray three times a day.

Similarities: They all believe in the God of Abraham.
Differences: Their opinion on Jesus.
In Judaism, Jesus was a false prophet, and so was Mohammed.
In Islam, Jesus was a prophet of God, but Mohammed is the last TRUE prophet of God.
In Christianity, Jesus was a prophet, and the only begotten Son of God, and Mohammed was a false prophet.
That's basically it, though there are many differences between how Christians pray, as compared to Jews and Muslims, and the scriptures.

Christianity and Islam- Believe in God and jesus and noah and his ark. However Christianity believes Jesus is the son of god, islam believes he was only a prophet.
They all have God in common and some of its teachings but not too much. Christianity and Islam are the most similar of the 3. They all share the same message of heaven though, and how to get there.

Similarities: All nonsense based on superstition.
Differences: Judaism started the mess with Big Daddy God. Christinsanity brougfht in another guy who supposedly was Junior to BDG. Islam has Mohammed who claims to be another prophet in the same line. All three pretty much hate each other and any other religion.

Simple...All agree on Abraham, but all disagree on Jesus.
since all three can't be right, it would be the Jesus question that determines which one is more valid.

"Islam" is a spiritual state of belief in the Absolute oneness of the Lord of Abraham and belief in all of his Prophets. This definition is irrespective of time or place.
Islam means to voluntarily submit ones will to the will of GOD.
A "Muslim" is one who has submitted his/herself to the Lord of Abraham (ALLAH).
All the Prophets from Adam to Noah, to Abraham, to Moses to Jesus , to Mohammed and all in between as well as their followers were "Muslim" and they practiced "Islam".
Moses and all his followers were of those who submitted themselves to the Lord of Abraham so they were in a state of "Islam" as "Muslims".
For the followers of Moses to stay "Muslim" they would have had to follow the last Israelite Prophet (Messiah) - Jesus.
For the followers of Jesus to stay "Muslim" they would have had to accept the final Abrahamic Prophet - Mohammed.
Only Muslims will enter into Paradise.
The Lord of Abraham will decide who lived the life of a "Muslim" and only those who receive his mercy on the day of Judgement will enter into Paradise and be saved from the fire of Hell.
