And Christians pushed into theirs. Tell a Crusader that the Muslims believe in the same god. You'd end up on the end of a spear along side any muslims they found.

Muhammad is the Muslims prophet Jesus is the Christians prophet both don't recognize the others prophet as a true prophet and that causes conflict among both religions which caused war.
Its that simple.

It is certainly not that simple, and the fact that you think it is just goes to show how little you understand the subject. For example, in Christian theology god is 3 seperate entities manifested as one (the trinity). Muslims, on the other hand, claim their god is a single being. Bit of a disconnect there. Sounds to be like they are worshiping different enties from the get go.
Secondly, during the time of Mohammed, he had very little understanding of or contact with (if any) Judaism and Christianity. It wasn't until afterwards that he attempted to make the connection with those Abrahamic religions in order to give his political efforts a religious backing. Therefore, it is an artificial connection and not based in any sort of scripture. Unlike Christianity which was born directly out of Judaism.
Of course, this all assumes you believe in the Abrahamic traditions.
