For example, God never said to convert or kill everyone else to Judaism.

You are right. God just told his people to kill every man women and child, and all the animals too. They didn't even attempt conversion.

I also just finished reading a book on the Inquisition. The Christians certainly don't have very much to learn from the Muslims or the Jews. Also we were just discussing the flood, what do you think was its purpose?

My point is that there interpretations of Gods will is what is the difference between the three religions. They all profess to believe in the God of Abraham. That is why they are called the People of the Book.

"You are right. God just told his people to kill every man women and child, and all the animals too."

But never open-ended, perpetual warfare such as the Koran specifies.

The Jewish conquest of the Holy Land was for the land.

"I also just finished reading a book on the Inquisition."

... Oh, boy...

"Also we were just discussing the flood, what do you think was its purpose?"

We are told specifically, so there is no need to guess. Genesis 6:5-8

"They all profess to believe in the God of Abraham."

Muslims are wrong.
