Why are there similarties

Christianity is the fulfillment of Judaism. Islam is a copy-cat religion that uses the names of the prophets but none of their words.

All three are monotheistic, though the Christians stray from this with the doctrine of the Trinity.
All trace their roots to Adam and Eve.
All share common prophets among them are Noah, Moses ,Abraham,Isaac, Jesus, John the Baptist, Zachariah, Jona, Joseph, Job, David and Solomon.
All forbid theft, adultery,rape, idolatry, incest,false witness, and disrespect of parents.
They all share the same story of creation.
The stories are similar such as the release of Jews from Egyptian slavery or the trials of Job by God or David slaying Goliath, or the stories of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the flood of Noah etc.
The Torah , The New Testament and the Qu'ran all enjoin some sort of dress code including the veiling of women or the covering of their hair.
Judaism and Islam are very similar in terms of being very law based and Christianity and Islamshare similar ideas about heaven hell and a day of judgement.
There are far more similarities than differences.
The difference between Christianity and the other two is the question of the divinity of Jesus. The Jews see him as a teacher, the Christians see him as part of a holy trinity and the muslims see him as a prophet.
Islam accepts Muhammad as the final prophet( he was by far the most recent having lived in between 570 and 632 a.d.) The other two do not accept him as a prophet.
Muslims consider all the prophets to have been muslims(a muslim in Islam meaning "one who is a strict monotheist and submits to God's will") Including Adam Eve Noah, Lot David, Abraham, Jesus , and all the others.
Christians and muslims believe in the virgin birth of Jesus while the Jews do not.
There are far more but I hope this gives you a general overview.

All of the similarities are found in the Jewish Tanakh (Holy Scriptures,) though Christians disavow the stuff that is Too Much Rules, especially if it's anti-Someone Else.

Narrow-mindedness.
I would say monotheism but Christians believe in the Trinity now.
Narrow-mindedness.

The really significant similarity is that all believe that they are right and that it is OK to kill everyone else. That is sick.
