All 3 claim to worship the God of Abraham... They just have different takes on that particular God. Heck, there are even some Zoroastrians and all Baha'i also claim the same diety.
Christians tend to believe that Jeushua (Jesus) was Adonai made flesh, and incarnation of the God of Abraham. Muslims accept Isa (Jesus again) as a prophet, but say the Christians BSed his death and teachings. He was a Rabbi of the Jewish faith. Christians and Jews both scoff at Mohammed as variably a blasphemer, a heretic, or a nutbar. Zoroastrians tend to believe whatever their Muslim masters tell them to. The Baha'i reject the idea of trinity, and embrace a single God who sent many teachers, including Siddhartha Gautama, and all of them had a valid part of the whole message, but that the other religions are incomplete for not viewing the whole picture.
The Jews tend to wonder why everyone thinks they can just Co-opt their God, as they are Shem's chosen people, and react with variable levels of amusement or offense at others trying to steal their god, or put words into his mouth.
I like to think of it in metaphor... With YHVH being a guy who traveled alot, and had a girl in every port... The Jews were his first kids... Then the Christians got co-opted... Islam came along next... The Zoroastrians got their parents killed, and Islam adopted them as sort of a poor half-sibling. Then Baha'i and several others... And, like many siblings who share a single Father (whom they worship and adore), they despise the other sibblings for claiming to be "Daddy's favourite". whee
