Essentially, Abraham somewhat founded a religion that went into three different streams: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Here's the important part: all three of these religions are Abrahamic religions, trying to worship Abraham's God.

WRONG on the last one, while is like saying Mormonism was founded by Jesus Christ (Catholicism, which also affirms the god of Islam as its own, has its own critical differences ). Islam can only claim to be worshiping the same God as the Bible, as instead the god of Islam clearly and substantially contradicts the God of the Bible .

And spiritually, what makes one to be a son of Abraham is to have his faith, not DNA. (Rm. 2:28,29)

And this is where we can say all three religions do in fact worship the same God, as all three religions are pointing to, offering worship, and attempting to describe, the same object.

Wrong for the same reason. Likewise is the god of so-called Christian science the God of Scripture? No! The author might as well as say that a stranger who claims to be a fellow heir to his parents estate is really part of the family, even though he has a radically different description of your parents and critical differences in history.

Here's where we're at: all three religions are offering worship the same object, and that is Abraham's God- though they might use different terminology

Wrong for the above reasons. The differences is not terminology but basic doctrine. Islam denies the God of Abraham and the Bible, thus it is not he same. Again, he must think the polygamist evolved God of Mormonism is the same God as that of Scripture.

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. (2 Corinthians 11:3-4)

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (2 Corinthians 11:13-14)

What kind of drivel is that.

God used Abraham to be the cornerstone of his people as a key part of redemptive history.

Islam does NOT worship the God of Abraham.
