    no, they don't

    they believe that mohammed was the last prophet, and jesus an earlier prophet

    and that jews and christians worship the same god [albeit under a different name], apart from the christian delusion about jesus

    and that the error of judaism and christianity is in not recognizing mohammed as a prophet of god, and in not recognizing the quran as the last word on the subject

    extremism comes into play, on all sides, when god becomes less important than books and the prophets that wrote them

    This is another point that suggest that the Jewish God and the Muslim God are the same - In the Qur'an (the Muslim holy book) Jesus is referred to on numerous occasions - even to the point that Mohammad mentioned Jesus arising from the dead.

    Though the Jews and Christians want to claim a unique God to them - the Qur'an seems to indicate that it is not.

    I was raised a Christian and recently converted to Islam. So I can tell you as an insider that the One God is the One God. How could it be otherwise? If you believe in one God who is over all other gods, who created all and owns all and who alone is worthy of worship, then your fellow believers are all the other monotheists of the Abrahamic tradition. The Arabic name for him is al-Lah, which translates as "the God". Arab Christians call him this. But by whatever name, He is the same.

    The differences are not about God, but about who speaks for him, what he wants from us, etc. The easiest way to see the truth of this is to study what the mystics of the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim faiths say about their experience of God. it's clear they're talking about the same Person.
