It tries to legitimise itself as such by encompassing Christian and Jewish mythology while drastically changing it to suit it's own agenda.
And, as with other religions, it was and is used as an excuse to conquer.
Islam is also the one of the three in the Judeo-Christian triad to not properly evolve into modern times. Judaism has both Christianity and Islam beat in that regard. Christianity at least has Islam beat. It's just Islam that needs to stop living in the dark ages.
