Why Jews and Christians do not adopt their original name i.e. Muslim?

As Adam, Noah, Ibrahim (Abraham), Loat, Ismaeel (Ishmael), Ishaq (Issac), Ya'qoob (Jacob), Yousuf (Joseph), Moosa (Moses), Haroon (Aaron), Dawood (David)0, Sulaiman (Solmon), Maryam (Mary) and Issa (Jesus) were all Muslims and their religion was Islam, why Jews and Christians today do not adopt their original name and follow the great and noble messengers? In that case there will be no fight and war on earth as Muslims share all their vlaues and believe in all aformentioned messengers. They perform Haj at Kabah which ws built by Abraham, They sacrifice in memory of great sacrifice of Ishmael (Thy only son, he was elder son) and rigth now Muslims are fasting just like Jesus and Moses from dawn to sun set. During this time they are not only supposed to refrain frm eating, drinking and smoking but also they must control their tongue, their eyes, their hands and their minds from evil thoughts. They have the final divine book; Quran which has protected all truth in previous divine books.

    real islam is the only thing they know is islam related to

    killing and chaos .muslims are liars thieves and bad people.

    in islam there are no groups or bands as they hear islam is the last message brought by (mohammad) for any age and anywhere

    Because they were here before Islam,Judaism is by far the oldest of the three and Christianity 2nd oldest.This is dumber than asking Muslims to call themselves Jews or Christians.Why don't all three religions call themselves Zoroastrians(now known as Parsees)as it was the first religion to come up with the concepts of heaven and hell and a day of judgment for men upon their death. There would be a lot less conflict in this world if all 3 religions actually obeyed the commandments of God or better still read a few good history books instead of spending all their time squabbling and posting inflammatory crap on yahoo answers.

    Alright, buddy. You have it all wrong. Judaism and Christianity preceded Islam by many years. Half of these, actually more, mean nothing to Muslims. Who was Moses? Who did he lead of Egypt? The Iraqis? I think not. The Quran is meaningless to both these parties. The one all accept is the Bible. You must open your eyes are read a little, stop convincing yourself everyone is Muslim and see what the world really believes and learn some real facts before saying Jesus is really a Muslim.

    I am sorry, but maybe i miss understand the Muslim religion, But isnt the first and formost tenant to belive "there is one god , alla, and muhamad is his proffet" (I am sorry i do not spell well)

    So if christians and Jews were to call them selves muslim they would have to belive that (and a couple more) tenants.

    On the other hand, we can define a new class of people. The race of the muslim. Because as we can see all of those people that you mentioned come from the same area, and are geneticly simular (some may argue differant about jesus). Thus those people are part of the "Muslim" race. But then people of modern day would not be able to call them selves people of the "muslim race", for many of them are of western decent, eastern decent, etc.

    By the same token of your argument, why don't Christans and Muslims call them selves Jews. The Jewish nation was the first to be classified. The christans and the muslims were just an off shoot (perhaps a more enlighted off shoot) of the Jews.

    Perhaps we can come up with a new classification, We shall call Jewish people jews, christans will be dubbed Jews of the first enlightenment (maybe computer programers will call them JEW++) and the muslims will be Jews of the second enlightenment.

    (I am sorry if this seems to be hostile against your veiw, I mean it to be hostile against your argument. You state that all people of the jewdayo-christian should be called muslim. This is clearly a biased naming convention. In reality i think it is absurd to classify this trinity of religions in to three classes, they are to simular to be separate [and i have no idea what the hell to do with the jews for jesus]. But then again it is just as absurd to classify the human race in to blacks, whites, indian ....)

    You could be onto something here. Suppose we dropped all other names and just used Human. That would take us back to a common heritage that preceded all presently existing religions, nationalities and politics. If we kept having wars, it would become too confusing to be tolerated. Whoever won, it would be us Humans. Whoever died, again us Humans. Racists would curse the dirty Humans while proclaiming the superiority of the Human race.

    Things might not get any better, but at least it would all be good for a final, dying laugh.

    You are a bit thick are you not?

    I do not believe in any religion,

    but even I know that the Christians were around about 600 years before Mohammed sat in his cave having his "visions".I also know that the Jews were around before the Christians.

    Muslims are a late entry to the game of religion.

    Have you read this book and what are your view or answers to the list below from this book?

    The Truth About Muhammad

    by Robert Spencer

    Meet the real Muhammad:

    Muhammad's bizarre reaction to his first "revelation": "I will go to the top of the mountain and throw myself down that I may kill myself"

    The heretical Christian who convinced Muhammad he was a prophet – and may have taught him his erroneous views of Christianity

    Islamic borrowings from Judaism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism – and Muhammad's enraged replies to charges that he borrowed material rather than received actual divine revelations

    The "revelation" that allowed Muhammad to marry his beautiful daughter-in-law

    The strange incident in Muhammad's life that makes it virtually impossible to prove rape in Islamic countries today

    The real "Satanic Verses" incident (not the Salman Rushdie version): how Muhammad's attempt to win over his opponents ended with his saying he had been inspired not by God, but by Satan

    How the Qur'an's teaching on warfare against unbelievers developed – with constant war to establish the hegemony of Islamic law as the last stage

    The first year of the Muslim calendar: not when Muhammad was born or became a prophet, but when he became a warlord

    How Muhammad used the graphic lure of Islamic Paradise to urge his warriors to fight furiously to extend his rule

    "Kill every Jew who comes into your power": why Muhammad became so angry with both Jews and Christians – with disastrous consequences that are still playing out in the world today

    The momentous command by Muhammad that led to good being identified with anything that benefited the Muslims, and evil with anything that harmed them --without reference to any larger moral standard

    Muhammad's child bride – and the terrible consequences his marriage to a nine-year-old still has in the Islamic world

    "This is the caravan of the Quraysh possessing wealth. It is likely that Allah may give it to you as booty": how Muhammad gave divine sanction to the Muslims' bloody raids

    "War is deceit": the permission Muhammad gave his followers to lie in order to gain an advantage over their enemies

    How Muhammad broke the principal treaty he entered into, again setting a pattern for Muslim states thereafter

    Muhammad's commands to his followers to wage perpetual war against non-Muslims, including Jews and Christians

    Muhammad on women's rights: women "are prisoners with you having no control of their persons"

    "If justice is not to be found with me then where will you find it?" Why Muhammad still stands for Muslims as the supreme model for human behavior

    "I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula, and will not leave any but Muslims" – and other statements by Muhammad that contemporary jihadists take very seriously

    Islamic tolerance? The onerous tax burden and other discriminatory regulations mandated for non-Muslims under Islamic law

    How Muhammad ordered the killing of apostates from Islam

    The massacre of a Jewish tribe by Muhammad that was invoked by modern-day jihadists at the beginning of Israel's July 2006 operations against Hizballah in Lebanon

    "Embrace Islam, and your lives and property will be safe": Muhammad's threatening letters to the rulers of the lands around Arabia

    Muhammad's frequent avowals that the Muslims would overcome the empires bordering on Arabia and one day stand as masters of the world

    "I have been made victorious with terror" – and other statements of Muhammad on his deathbed
