How are judaism, islam and christianity linked?i.e from Abraham and his descendants.

[Lonnie]

Just briefly,

In the beginning, there was just the Jews, Then came Jesus, who was born, lived and died, as a Jew, But Saul, (St Paul), who was also a Jew, said that you didn't have to be a Jew to worship the Jewish God, and that was the beginning of Christianity.

Islam.
Historically, jews and Muslims, as you say, came from Abraham, but approximately, 300 years after Jesus died, Mohammed, who was illiterate, had a dream, where the whole of the Koran was imprinted in his head,

Just briefly, I could go very much deeper, but its not necessary.

When I say, in the beginnig there was just the Jews, thats just for religious purposes, of coures, Arabs and Jews were around for the same length of time, but not Islam.

Try looking for Isaac and Ishmael - not sure of the accuracy of the story though.

The Moslems split from the Jews when Mohammed wanted to be acknowlwdged as a prophet. They turned him down so he decided to make his own religion. Originally they would have preyed to Jerusalem but when the Jews wouldn't come on board he decided on Mecca instead.

Moslems and Jews still hate each other over the disagreement.
