And Jews and Christians are regarded as "People of the Book"
Yup. Know that. Heard about the Crusades, though? And recent problems between Muslims and Christians in, I believe, Indonesia?

They're all the same except that they all got different instructions and often like to kill each other.
A bit like claiming the USA and the CSA were all the same during the American civil war.

treated more respectfully than pagans.
Yeah. Being a pagan can be worth your life around Muslims. Worse even than Christians.

And Jews, Christians, and Muslim all claim descent from Abraham. As if the claim were worth anything in the real world.
