Jews and muslims worship the God of the Old Testament, who was worshipped out of Fear, and known for His wrath and fury.
Christians worship God out of Love, the NT, whichJesus taught.
Did God have a personality change or are they different gods?
so, do jews + muslims worship him out of fear?

Any religion with a hell worships God out of fear.

Rev Kip - The moon God, WTF? And you're a spiritual leader? Explains a lot about the mindset of a lot of Christians out there... *Shakes Head* Do you not know that Muslims (and many Jews) trace the origins of Islam back to the first child of Abraham, who God also said would the be the father of a great people? So do you hold it against Jesus that his parents weren't christian? Since Mohammed founded the religion, of course he was born into a different one. And those crazy reference you made about the pagan daughters he allegedly worshiped, you need to study a bit more. Mohommed actually denouced all scripture regarding them as "The Satanic Verses" and said such beliefs had no place in a monotheistic relgion. Anyways, on to answering the question. Keep in mind, I speak of the broader Christian mindset, and not the actual religion itself which preaches tolerance of others... Christianity has never liked other religions. To include Judaism. Anyone recall the Inquisition? Or the fact that Pope John Paul II admitted that the church bore some responsibility for the holocaust because of it's intolerence of Jews? Ever heard the age old tale that we use the blood of a christian innocent to make our passover matzah? Christians want to piggy back off of our religion so they have a love hate relationship with us, but overall can't denounce us because they did borrow our God and not the other way around. The straight out hate for Muslims comes from the fact that while Jews just need to get with the program, Islam was formed after the death and hoopla of Jesus. We don't want to grandfather clause him in, but they outright rejected him. Oh, that and Christians seem to be an intollerant lot as it is (much to Jesus's chagrin, I'm sure).

Do not be deceived. The allah of Islam is not the God of the New Testament. Study carefully and you will find the true deception.
Muslims worship their god out of fear.
Jews worship God by adherence to the law. Motivation for this is, to a large extent, fear.
Christians worship God because He first loved us so much that He gave His only Son to die on the cross to draw us to Him. This is a worship of love.

We , Muslims worship Him out of love and fear. Nothing can happen without love in religion and on the way of God! The fear comes out of respect, nothing else.

I'm a Jew, and I serve G-d because I love Him.
The Schma is the central statement of Jewish belief, and we say it two times a day and during times of great danger. A lot of people are familiar with the first sentence: Hear, Israel, the Lord your G-d, the Lord is One."
A lot of people DON'T know the next lines, but the Schma continues: "You shall LOVE the Lord your G-d with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind."
We're actually commanded to love G-d.
And Jews don't believe in a fiery hell or eternal damnation the way Christians do, so there's actually LESS reason for Jews to fear G-d than there is for Christians.

The NT states that the only one should be feared is God Himself. Fear of not to be loved by Him. How does it happen, if yous sin, you are not under His protection because sin divides you from God. To be holy you get closer to God. Ask me I know and believe me I have seen the power of God and it's great and I feel so sorry for those who miss out.

Yes it is true but result gets reversed:
Muslim worship One God because of awe (fear) and He becomes happy with them.
Christian worship Father God having Son and Holy Spirit as parts and partners of One unity with love but make him angry for making partners as per Old Testament and Quran.

Jews, the original worshipers of God, have some fear of God, since he demonstrated his ability to punish, but also believe themselves to be the chosen people by god.
Christians believe God punishes for every aberration by sending souls to eternal damnation in Hell, so they also fear God.
I'm a little ignorant about Muslims, and I don't know if Allah punishes any of his followers

I'm Jewish and I worship G-d out of the love I have for Him and the love He gave to me. With that love comes fierce respect, like the respect a child has for a parent. So you tell me.
