Why do so many of the Abrahamaic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, and...

...Islam) think they don't have the same god? From everything I've ever read and studied:

YHWH = Jehovah = Allah

In other words, they all believe in the same god.

Why do so many say they don't?

It all depends how you want to interpret the word "same".

When anyone says their God is different, they're talking about the details.

Yahweh: I am so awesome! Watch me massacre all those people! Hahahahaha! I'll make you follow a bunch of draconian laws. Stone those fornicators! Anyone who claims there are other gods worth worship ping other than me are an abomination. This includes you Jesus! When you die you go to Sheol where you work off your sins

Jesus: Hey buddy. I looove you! Worship me because I am absolutely perfect. I would never hurt you. Until revelations, where I destroy the world in the worst ways possible! And give up all your belongings and sell your possessions to give to the poor. Oh and when you die you go to heaven if you believe in me, or suffer in hell if you use your logic or are born into a non Christian family.

Allah: I am awesome than Yahweh and Jesus. In fact Jesus is one of my prophets! But the greatest prophet is Muhammad the Pedophile. Even though I didn't let him do miracles. My laws are more draconian than Yahweh. Kill everyone! It's not a sin to kill non Muslims. And when you do good works, it must be in my name or it is meaningless. If you don't believe in me when you die, you go to Hell where your skin will be eaten by worms, HAHAHAHAHAHA

I see the resemblance. I guess it's like comic book Spiderman and movie Spiderman. They're both Spiderman but not the same Spiderman.

G-d has a different nature and character in the Jewish faith then Christianity and Islam. I do agree with Muslims that G-d or Allah in Arabic have the same nature. In the Christian faith the Trinity is very popular and that divides G-d.

Judaism insists on a notion of monotheism, the idea that there is One God. As Judaism understands this idea, God cannot be made up of parts, even if those parts are mysteriously united. The Christian notion of the Trinity is that God is made up of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Such a view, even if called monotheistic because the three parts are, by divine mystery, only one God, is incompatible with the Jewish view that such a division is possible. The Jewish idea is that God is one. This idea allows for God's unity and uniqueness as a creative force. Thus, for Jews, God is the creator of all that we like and all that we don't. There is no evil force with an ability to create equal to God's. Judaism sees Christianity's trinitarianism as a weakening of the idea of God's oneness. Jews don't have a set group of beliefs about the nature of God; therefore, there is considerable, and approved, debate within Judaism about God. However, all mainstream Jewish groups reject the idea of God having three parts. Indeed, many Jews see an attempt to divide God as a partial throwback, or compromise with, the pagan conception of many gods.

There is only one God. right?

I've just been reading a book called Discovering God, by Rodney Stark. It goes into all this stuff, big time. I believe the book does say that the God of these 3 religions does have the same cultural origins. next time I'm in the bathroom (that's where the book is) I'll look it up. Right now I'm reading the history of Hinduism in Injia (british way of pronouncing)
 
Anyone who has read the Bible and the Quran knows they are not the same.

50 years ago and before that, no Muslim would claim he worshipped the same god as Christians and Jews. Muslims knew their god was different.

I know...they are three very similar religions with very similar belief systems. So why do they kill and shed blood for dispute over historical figures? And why does everyone blame the Jews?
