No. Israel’s God is the God of Israel, Christianity’s is the Triune God of all peoples, and Islam’s is the God who, in the words of the great Jewish theologian Franz Rosenzweig, “might just as well not have bothered to create the world” (quoting from memory).

Israel’s is the Jealous God who worries about what you eat, Christianity’s is the God of Mercy, and Islam’s is the God who will lead you astray and throw you into hell just because he feels like it.

I could go on.

You could go on, but you would only further demonstrate your ignorance with regard to the topic at hand. You simply can’t see past the fact that over the course of several thousand years, three faiths that originated from the worship of the same God have managed to establish contrasting tenets.

You keep speaking of theology this, theology that, but all you mention are the practical differences between Islam, Judaism and Christianity. We are talking about the fundamental origins of each faith as described in their own holy texts. Practices in modern worship are completely irrelevant.
