Islam is Hebrew 3.0 Christianity is Hebrew 2.0, but even Hebrew is Canaanite 2.0. All three are the same god of Abraham and the Yahweh character that lead to the monotheism of all three are the same character and that character was a lesser god in polytheism before the Hebrews turned it into a monotheistic god.
Just like you will never get a Buddhist to admit that it is a spin off of Hinduism. No religion starts out in a vacuum. All religions get started like any new product does, competition. Someone looks at the old ways doesn't like it, incorporates some of the language/motifs of the old ways, demonizes the outsiders to compete.
There is nothing original about any religion. Humans make up all religions. Religion competes like Coke and Pepsi. Coke comes up with a cherry soda, and Pepsi looks at it and says "we need to get in on that", so they come up with their own cherry soda, give it a different name, and different color can.
