"But they think that god is only a 1400 year old entity ".
Umm, No.
The God of Islam is the same god as that of Jews and Christians, who call him YaHWeH. He is considered to be eternal, having always existed.
All three religions trace their beginnings to the prophet Abraham. For that reason, Judaism, Christianity and Islam are known collectively as "The Abrahamic Religions"
I wrote this in an earlier thread today, but repeat for you: Without exception, every religion reflects the society which invented it. Religions have never created hatred, fear, bigotry or war. Nor compassion, generosity or gentleness. As far as I can tell, all of those things are hard wired in human beings. Believers interpret their own religions in keeping with their own needs and preconceptions. It is common for such people to become teachers and religious leaders--Hindus call them 'gurus', Jews call the Rabbis. Muslims call them Mullas and Ayatollahs , etc etc, so it goes

"The Abrahamic religions, also referred to collectively as Abrahamism, are a group of Semitic-originated religious communities of faith that claim descent from the Judaism of the ancient Israelites and the worship of the God of Abraham. The Abrahamic religions are monotheistic, with the term deriving from the patriarch Abraham (a major biblical figure from The Old Testament, which is recognized by Jews, Christians, Muslims, and others)."[1]
