“Muslims, Jews and Christians all believe in the same God of Abraham.
How do you come to this understanding?”
It gives us warm fuzzies all over.

It has a couple of different meanings. The most obvious is that they are all People of the Book and trace their spiritual lineage through Abraham. The Jews through Issac and Arabs through Ishmael. I think it is good to know the true belief's of our Muslim enemies.
The second level is that it is directed against the Mormon baiter's who claim that Mormons aren't Christians. I then use it to ask them to define God and Christ in the context of Abraham's beliefs. It is very difficult to do that and attack Mormons as not being Christian at the same time.
The third level is to point out that everyone worships a different God based on their own personal experience and understanding. Labels fail in the end.
