Islam and Jews are pretty similar, they both believe with the same God, the same prophet (except Jews doesnt believe with prophet Muhammad and prophet Isa), dont eat pig, dog, and dont drink alcohol, both men are circumcised (although we are much cleaner than them), we both believe that prophet Adam has been forgiven and dont believe with hereditary sin.
And with Christian, they believe Jesus (prophet Isa) is their God and some believe with Trinity where Jesus, father, and holy spirit are three personality but also one where in reality they just worship Jesus and forget with the father. They eat and drink any thing, the men are not circumcised and so on.
The thing that make Muslim hate Jews is more because Israel behavior toward Palestinian. If they can resolve the dispute and get along with each other, I believe Muslim will see Jews as their close friend because our religion worship the same God. While Christian is more like Musrikin, people who worship three Gods and even worship a human, prophet Isa.
First of hope you're having a good Ramadan so far, brother , I agree with you that on paper we are similar to Jews in some ways. But I think in reality we are more closer to Christians. I feel like Jews have a different philosophy on life than us, they seem to believe in and campaign hard for things like gay rights, transgender , and other things they consider civil liberties that contradict their faith a lot. They seem to value their identity/ethnic race more than their religion. They are also very success/education oriented people and so while I agree on paper we are similar , in real life they are following some different philosophy that doesn't really take God into account.
I believe in education/success too but on a moderate level. Capitalism takes it to the extreme and it certainly forces people into lifestyle that neglects God.
Also I find it odd how some Jews are now claiming Hell isn't real or not in the physical sense. That defies logic for me and I see Hell as necessary and real and physical abode.
As for Christians, I think they interpretation problems and lack consensus over religious law. Some of them are okay with premarital relations and drinking alcohol but some are not. Some are okay with gay rights but others are not. But in reality they are more like us lifestyle wise but difference is core belief. You should check out a pastor on YouTube known as Steven Anderson. He's an American pastor who I personally believe understands religion very well, and he is against pre marital relations and other things Christians normally are okay with. If he'd convert to Islam he'd without a doubt be one of best Muslims on Earth today as his dedication to God is sincere.
Only core belief is the difference and maybe one day he will convert to Islam.
On average though we take religion more seriously than the other two and are more dedicated to it but we have same problem they have which is lack of sincerity to the Lord.
