It's not like Muslims believe in a deity with radically different attributes than the one christians or jews believe in. There is only one exception and that is the trinitarian God of mainstream christianity. The two other Abrahamic religions believe in the same God. It's the details of how to worship the deity and what prophets to follow that separates religions and sects. Hinduism, on the other hand, doesn't have a clear definition of God to begin with.
Yeah, you are fooling yourself. Neither do you have a definition of God when you say that Islam, christianity and Judaism are the same except minor details which is belief in Trinity. Quran claims that Jesus was not son of God and did not resurrect which is not a minor detail for Christians, but utter blasphemy. And Christians don't think that Mohammed was a prophet, but a liar which probably isn't so negligible for Muslims.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
