The Basic Difference is the Differing Theology of Jesus Christ. The other similarities and differences are too numerous for this forum..... Invest in a copy of World Religions Made Easy by Barbour Press

They all believe in separate Gods for a start. Even though they believe in one God that doesn't automatically mean it's the SAME God. Jews don't generally believe in heaven/hell. Muslims don't believe Jesus is God, and Christians believe in the Trinity.

I guess how they see Jesus is important. Jews believe he was a false prophet. Christians believe he was an incarnate of God and accept him as their savior, as he died for their sins. Muslims believe he was just a prophet of Allah, ascended to heaven after he died, but is separate from Allah.
