Let Your Light Shine.. Matt 5:16
I think all religions could start with people believing in the same God if they are generically considering the idea of God with pretty much complete ignorance in who he is and what to think, believe and how to act. It is when one is further "taught" or indoctrinated into who God is and what he expects of his followers that the "generic" god can splinter off to form all the gods that are worshiped. There are probably some Muslims that may believe in the same god Christians and Jews believe in but then one day they are taught more about Muhammed and Allah and then immediately they are left with a decision to either define or redefine their idea of God to match what is shown them (accept or reject). One has to in a sort broad brush people into a religion by its core beliefs because as those who adhere to it will over time fall further and further into these beliefs they will no longer be ignorant enough to possibly believe in God.
Do Muslims have the same God? NO, do some ignorant Muslims believe in God? Perhaps... but not because they are Muslims and have knowledge of Islam at all, but because either they have limited knowledge and/or reject that knowledge somewhat enough to somehow believe against Islam.
In time many who are in a false religion will be put on the line and forced to choose who they believe and in Islam belief in God can mean dire circumstances to the individual in some areas.
