When GOD spoke to Abraham he told him he would be the father of many great nations, The Jews, or Hebrews if you prefer, the Moslems (which sprang forth from the Jews) and the Christians, which of course are just Jews with with one added feature...and which sprang forth from the Jew also...
The Basics of (most) of the worlds monotheastic religions are similar, one supreme being...where they get conveluted is when MAN starts adding all the bull chit to them...
Then is a famous old quote (I cannot remember exactly who said it)
I'll paraphrase
Of ALL THAT IS WRITTEN in the TORAH, the BIBLE, the KORAN, if man would ONLY DO GOOD those written words (what is written in those books) would only be commentary ...to "DO GOOD"

RYD, I'm not ignorant...I know what the word Jew means. I don't have to have it explained to me.
I was simply stating the answer I got when I asked the same question as a young man.
You know, to illustrate a contrast in the things that fanatics use as their personal platform.
