Muslims, Jews, and Christians all worship the same God, the God of Abraham.\n\nJews believe the Messiah, the Savior, has not arrived yet. Jews believe Jesus Christ was a prophet, a divinely inspired man, but not the Messiah.\n\nChristians believe Jesus Christ was/is the Messiah and that  He was crucified as penance for humanity's sins.\n\nMuslims believe Jesus was a prophet, but their was another prophet after Him named Mohammed, and that Mohammed was the last of God's prophets.\n\nYou probably want to check Wikipedia for more info. But, yeah, all three religions pray to the same God.

The difficulty of explaining the true Jesus is a challenge with a Muslim.  I just accept that they believe in God & hope that God will let them in to heaven, as I do love my Muslim friends.

Christians are not being guilt tripped by Jews, they are being guilt tripped by their own Christianity.\n\nSo, the remedy is for everyone to renounce Christianity and convert to Judaism!

either muslims have tried to kill jews, or they let them live in muslim occupied lands but under a lower status.. called dhemini status.. with far less rights (almost none at all) compared to the muslims... \nIslam has always been intollerant towards the jews, christianity was, but has since reformed itself.\nwhen mohammad stole medina and mecca by war, (the muslim wars/terrorism, started 1400 years ago with the invention of islam) the jews who lived in the city would not convert, thus mohamad had them killed (yes muslims its in your koran)

Jesus(pbuh) is a highly respected Prophet in Islam.  \n\n10 brief points Christians\nshould know about Muslims and Jesus\nBy Sound Vision Staff Writer\n\n   1. Muslims love Jesus. We also love Abraham, Moses, and Noah, to name just a few other Prophets Muslims revere. May God's peace be upon all of these great messengers of God.\n   2. Muslims also love the mother of Jesus, the Virgin Mary. We believe she was a pious and noble woman chosen over all of the women of the world.\n   3. Muslims believe that Jesus was born miraculously of a virgin mother and no father. His birth is miraculous like the birth of Adam, the first human being, who was created with neither mother nor father.\n   4. Muslims do not believe that Jesus was the son of God. God is so powerful and self-sufficient that He does not need a son or any kind of partner.\n   5. In Arabic Bible the name for God is Allah. Therefore all Arab Christian call God Allah as Muslim do as well.\n   6. Jesus did not die on the cross. Rather, God saved  him as his enemies were confused about him. Jesus was taken up by God to Heaven.\n   7. Jesus is called Isa (pronounced Eesa) in Arabic.\n   8. Jesus performed miracles by the Will of God, like healing the blind and those with leprosy.\n   9. Jesus prayed to the same God as all Prophets and we pray to.\n  10. Jesus will return before the end of the world.

That is  a very good question and the answer is a little confusing. The problem is that people often get confused between Judiasm and Jews. To be Jewish does NOT mean you follow the Jewish religion, instead it is a group of people. Kind of like just because you are Indian does not mean you are hindu, or if you are arabic it does not mean you are muslim (unless it is the law of your country) \n\nNow before the birth of Christ, the Jewish(reffering to the group of people) did follow the same religion, which can be called the "Jewish" religion, because they where Jew and that was their religion. Now, before Christ was born, as you know from reading the scriptures, their where prophesies about his coming. Some believed and some did not believe he was coming. When Jesus Christ was born he taught many new things and gave new revelations. Thus came Christianity, though if it was called that at the time, I am not sure. Those who did not believe he was the Savior and still live by the ways before Christ and do not follow His new teachings broke off and are today reffered to as "Jewish"\n\nThose who followe Christ are Christians. Those who are Jewish by blood are not neccesarily Jewish by religian, You can be jewish by religion even if you are not Jewish by blood. Jesus was born to Jewish parents and He is how Christianity started. Remember, back then Jewish and Christianity were intertwined and not distinctively seperate.\n\nI know it is confusing. But basically, the coming of Christ and the belief in whet He taught is what seperates the 2 religions.

Muhammad and Jesus wanted to reform the faith of the people in their society during their respective periods. So Jesus retained what was told up to Moses and wanted to modify the earlier teachings. He was not acceptable to the Jews who continued with their belief. Then Jewish society having rejected him either got him expelled or crucified, as the case may be. \n\nMuch after his death the dissidents among the Jews, perhaps, prefered to see a leader in him.  So he along with other earlier prophets are accepted as prophets by his followers called Christians.\n\nLater came Muhammad who wanted to unify the conflicting Jews and the Christians and take the credit as the last prophet, perhaps thinking that there was no need for another for the conflict is solved by him; little knowing that his efforts have widened the gap and compounded the intra-religious hostility.\n\nSo, by historical analysis, none of the persons portrayed as prophets was an extra-ordinary human species. They all had the common human frailties that was reflected in their conduct. It is only propaganda that made them 'prophets', nothing else.

The Fundemental differences are only slight.\n\nJews, in theory, still obey the law of Moses... most don't and there are hundreds of diferent types of jew.  They are awaiting a messiah to recommence the kingdom of david on Earth.\n\nChristians believe this messiah has been and gone and was called Jesus - who was God, or the son of God.  As such, unlike jews, Christians believe in an afterlife in the here and now. As in, you go straight to heaven when dead. They believe he brought a new covenant and was not only a Jewish messiah, but for all people.\n\nMuslims believe that Jesus was a Messiah, but not God. They believe in an Afterlife in the here and now, but believe that Muhammad was the last of the prophets.  he was needed because Jews and Christians allowed their holy texts to be altered, and a new unchangable text was needed - the Quran. (Koran). They also believe that the best way to live a life is to follow the example, or sunnah, of any prophet, but especially that of Muhammad - the seal of the prophets.

USA Christians supports the Jews because they are their descendants even though they killed Jesus.  They have long forgiven the Israelites.

Because the religion of Christianity contradicts the most basic beliefs of Judaism.\n\nPLEASE look at the following::\nhttp://WhatJewsBelieve.org\n\nThe basic beliefs of Christianity about Jesus are against what the Bible says, and so Real Jews cannot believe in Jesus at all.\n\nThe Christian understanding is that the Messiah, Jesus, died for the sins of the people. The messiah is supposed to be a human sacrifice that is the blood sacrifice necessary for the forgiveness of sin.\n\nBut we are taught in our Torah that no one can die for the sins of another. In Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not \nbe put to death for the children, neither \nshall the children be put to death for\nthe fathers: \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b’chet-o yumatu).\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself to atone for the sins of the people. To be written out of Gd's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. Gd's response is No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:\n\nExodus 32:30-35 And it came to pass on the \nmorrow, that Moses said unto the people, \nYe have sinned a great sin: and now I will \ngo up unto the Etrnl; perhaps I shall make \nan atonement for your sin. And Moses \nreturned unto the Etrnl, and said, Oh, \nthis people have sinned a great sin, and \nhave made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book \nwhich thou hast written. And the Etrnl \nsaid unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned \nagainst me, him will I blot out of my \nbook. \n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin. Further, this chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for Gd's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd will forgive us.\n\nSo, the Bible is clear, no one can die for the sins of another, and this means that Jesus cannot die for anyone else's sins.\n\nChristians also believe that one needs a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, that one who does not have such a blood sacrifice will die in their sins, and go to hell, except for the sacrifice of Jesus.\n\nThis, too, is UnBiblical. The Bible describes blood sacrifices for the forgiveness of sin in the Book of Leviticus. But it is in Leviticus itself, in the middle of the discussion of the sin sacrifices, that we are taught that we do not need a blood sacrifice to be forgiven for our sins. Offering a blood sacrifice was an expensive thing to do for the family offering the animal. Was forgiveness then, to be only for the rich? No, because if one could not afford a blood sacrifice then one who sins could bring flour, which has no blood and no life as their sacrifice, and Gd forgave them!\n\nLeviticus 5:11-13; But if he be not able to \nbring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, \nthen he that sinned shall bring for his \noffering the tenth part of an ephah of fine \nflour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil \nupon it, neither shall he put any \nfrankincense thereon: for it is a sin \noffering.\n\nFurthermore, read the Book of Jonah. In Jonah, the People of Ninevah do three things in order to be forgiven by Gd. They fast, they pray for forgiveness, and they stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd forgave them! This is exactly what we do on Yom Kippur, we fast, we pray for forgiveness, and, hopefully, we stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd forgives us. And what book do we read on Yom Kippur afternoon? The Book of Jonah!\n\nJonah 3:7-10 And he caused it to be proclaimed \nand published through Ninevah, by the decree \nof the King and his nobles, saying, Let \nneither man nor beast, herd nor flock taste \nanything; let them not feed nor drink water; \nbut let man and beast be covered with \nsackcloth, and c

Just so you know, evangelical means belief in salvation though Christ.  Islam and Judaism do not believe that you can be "saved" through  Jesus. But to answer your question, Judaism isn't as well know or popular as the other two is because they don't prostylize(or missionize/try to convert), although if one was called to Judaism and decided to convert(which is what I am doing)they are more than welcome to do so.  Another factor is that there are only about 2 million Jews in the world today (yes, the low number because of the Holocaust), compared to a couple billion Christians and probaby the same amount of Moslems.

Jews are hated by some not for their religion but mainly becasue of the politics going around in middle east and occupation, violance, bulldozing of houses, terrorism etc. etc. Actually prophet of Islam, had a very good relationship with jews who were not fighting with him to get rid of him. He used to visit Jews when invited or when they are sick etc.

First : When Jesus comes back, I don't think he'll say "I'm Muslim" you know why?? because he's not Muslim, He's Jew, remember when he got crucified the roman soldiers put a piece of wood that said "King of the Jews". Two: if you are talking about if he will discriminate us because we aren't Jews or Muslims, I don't think he'll do that because He died for all of us not just the Jews or Muslims, Third: Jesus made a new commandment if you see John 13:34 says "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." It doesn't say "Love everyone that it's Muslim or Jew.". So, He Loves us, The Jews, The Muslim or any religion he loves us and even the people that doesn't believe in him, he loves them too.

Yes, only the doctrines differ slightly. Some muslims refer to Jewish and Christian peoples as "infidels", because muslims say that the Jewish and Christian peoples altered the work of God, by altering the bible from it's original form. Some Jewish people say that they are God's chosen people, while some Christians would argue that the Jewish people turned their backs on God when they called for the crucifiction of the Christ. But, that is all arguable and since I wasn't there, I will stay out of it.\nBut in summary; yes, they all worship the same God. Each had a prophet. Jewish-Moses. Christians-Jesus. Islam-Muhammed.

When a Christian or a Jew kills someone his religion is not mentioned, but when Muslim is charged with a crime, it is Islam that goes to trial! When someone sacrfices himself to keep others alive, he is noble and all respect him. \nBut when a Palestinian does that to save his son from being killed, his brother's arm being broken, his mother being raped, his home being destroyed, and his mosque being violated -- He gets the title of a terrorist! Why? Because he is a Muslim!
