I just found out that the name of Mohammad's father who died well before Mohammad become a prophet was "Abdollah" which in Arabic means "Servant of Allah" ... considering that before Mohammad came in Arabia people worshipped idles, (having 3 different idles -God of Earth, God of Water, and God of Sky (allah being it))... CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW IS IT THAT THIS RELIGION IS CONSIDERED CORRECT???

You can find 'some' people who think or deny anything. I don't think this is a particularly Jewish phenomenon. From a logical standpoint, I would argue thusly: Judaism is the undispituted core and basis for all future monotheistic religions. If we accept that God would later commision an individual to change His original law, why stop at just one, or two or X? According to Christians, Jesus changed the law, but when Mohammed did the same this was false. According to Muslims, Mohammed changed the law, but all later 'prophets' (see: Baha'i, Sikhism) are false. There is thus an argument to be made that Judaism is superior due to this logical consistency that is absent in later editions. I am not saying that Judaism is 'better' because of this argument, just that I'm sure some do. Another possibility is simply the pride of being #1. I do not know what some Jews would deny having the same God, but in truth it is all just a matter of semantics. The truth behind the words is probably that the laws of Islam are so drastically different from the laws of Judaism (in these 'some Jews' eyes) that it is as if we have different Gods, for the same God would not command both laws. As I said it's really just a matter of semantics, as the real meaning is that one interpretation is superior to the other, not that there are actually separate Gods.

peace be upon you
You need really to know what word Islam mean.
Islam mean :surrender , amenable and accumb to the God alone , only the God control me .
Any one said i am muslim , he meant that he surrender to the God , worship him alone and believe him.
Many prophets said they are muslims before Mohammed's birth.
So , we can't say that Mohammed is the founder of Islam , but it is from the God .
The God choose Mohammed to be the person who tell us the message when we lost.
you can find all religion names is related to a name of person or place or certain thing , but not islam which is for all people everywhere and from the God.
Islam was before Muhammed and the Quran when descend ,the religion take the name "Islam"
is it ok?

Islam is as correct as the next religion. Any religion can be corrupted by a bad Cleric, Priest, Preacher, Rabbi, Pastor, Monk, or any other religious leaders are out there. The use of religion to inspire violence has always been around and in every religion.

The Name "ALLAH" was taught to Ishmael (the father of all Arabs) by Abraham.
This name has been preserved in Arabia even after they drifted into Idolatry.
Mohammed brought them back to Monotheism when he renewed the Covenant through Ishmael.

"Allah" means "god." Just as the Christians use a generic noun (god) as the name of their deity (God), so did Arabic people use the term allah (a god) to be Allah (the God).
The term/concept existed before Islam; just as both monotheism and the concept of gods predate Christianity.
It really does seem like you are nit-picking.

Muhammed (pbuh) was the last messenger of God. Islam was introduced before him, but he was the last prophet to spread the religion.
You've got your information wrong.. some websites give false information, you need to know which sources are trusted.

There is no such thing as "correct" religion. It all depends on the person's faith. You cannot rationalise a religion with pure facts. A religion is basically there because people believe in it. If you have strong faith in your religion you would not doubt and ask questions like these.
