And all 3 essentially believe in the same God!

I must disagree, Allah was the name of the chief god of the Arab people before Mohammad came along. Allah was their moon god which is why the symbol of Islam is the crescent moon. When Mohammad decided to create a new monotheistic religion he picked Allah as his god and jettisoned the rest of the them. He then cut and pasted Jewish and Christian theology into the mix.

Ahh, forgive me... I grew up in Catholic schools... LOL

If you were to believe Mohammed, you would believe we all supposedly worship the same God.

Mohammed's religion, known among its adherents as Islam, contains practically nothing original; it is a confused combination of native Arabian heathenism, Judaism, Christianity, Sabiism (Mandoeanism), Hanifism, and Zoroastrianism.
Thanks for the lesson and the encouragement to look for more! :)
