Certainly Christians can work with other faith groups where there is a common goal and certainly we can be challenged by the zeal of people from other faith groups.Does it only work when Christians talk or with other religions?

All three of these major religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), have common roots and a common god although he has different names. I am personally much impressed by muslims who pray six times a day and wish for Christians too to do as the Bible says and pray seven times a day.
I just replied to a post similar to this post. I, for one, think it would be good to have dialogue with all religions, at least those who believe in a loving God. Keep in mind that there those who would like to see all Christians dead.Does it only work when Christians talk or with other religions?

.If you keep in mind there is only one God, then you should be able to interact with other religions as smoothly as Jesus did. Which was for the most part, quite well.
.Judaism, Islam and Christianity all worship the God of Abraham, so one would hope that common ground can be found. The problem is that Islam and Christianity both teach exclusivity in regards to salvation. However, Judaism does not, It teaches that those who abide by the Noahide laws, regardless of one's faith, will have a place in Heaven.

Absolutely it works with other religions. Judaism is the next closest to Christianity as it is out of Judaism that Christianity grew. John Paul II was a major proponent of interfaith dialogue during his life. In addition to reaching out to many protestant and Orthodox Churches, he embraced common ground with Muslims and Jews.

Allah (god of the Muslims) has no son.
So, if the true God, as revealed in Scripture, has a Son (His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ) and Allah has no son, is it true that Muslims worship the same God, but just by another name?

Do you really believe the god the Muslims pray to 7 times a day is the same God you pray to?
Was Muhammad a Prophet of the God you believe in as a Christian?
.
Do you pray 7 times a day, owing to the fact your so impressed with them?
If not, why not?
What do Muslims pray for, and who do they pray to?
Neither does the God of the Jews, Yahweh, have an son in the Old Testament.
We definitely give different attributes to God, the most notable of which is his triune nature.
Christians believe in the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jews don't believe in a triune God. Both Christians and Jews believe in one God. The Christians just believe that the one God is triune.
If you want to use God's son as a reason to say that Muslims don't worship the same God, they you also need to say that Jews don't worship the same God as the Christians.
If you say this, then you have to deny that the Old Testament speaks about the one, true God.
