Particularly for the Inter-Faith-Hopers-For-The-Besters and for those who, quite innocently, are taken in by the smooth sounding terms "Abrahamic faiths" or "Abrahamic civilization," I am setting out some reality below.
It is all part of Islamic deception in line with the teaching of the prophet of Islam of Islamic Taqiyya, or sacred deception ....

1.3 Sharia Law
Sharia Law is readily obtainable in English. In applying Sharia law, or Islamic law, or Doctrinal Islam, or Muslim jurisprudence: NO Muslim can reject ANY part of Qur'an or the hadiths and remain Muslim (the alternative is becoming an apostate). Sharia is the EXCLUSIVE SOURCE of law for both Muslims and non-Muslims (the Infidel), and embraces ALL human activities - both personal and communal.
Sharia is understood as a series of duties and obligations; is not severable from Islamic theology; and as such it does not tolerate parties of differing opinion in its application. It exercises absolute and centralized control over ALL aspects of life. Islam does not consider itself to be the third Abrahamic faith, contrary to fond imaginings. It considers itself to be the only Abrahamic faith, the true faith of all the patriarchs and prophets, including Joseph and Abraham, and of which Judaism and Christianity are but falsifications and perversions. (Qur'an: 12:40; 48:28; 61:9; 16.52; 5:3; 9:33.) In other words, Islam is "the last religion".

Bat Ye'or explained the scam by Islam and it's apologists very well:
Today, the laws of the ideology market are well known, as are the ways in which their global dissemination function. The anti-Zionism market returned to the anti-Jewish themes of the 1890-1945 period, substituting the word "Zionist" for "Jew." As Jacques ellul had explained in his book on propaganda (1962), the myth "slips simply into the pre-existing mold and therein creates new beliefs."88 In this way, the themes of Euro-Arab anti-Zionist propaganda were grafted onto a reflex reaction, previously conditioned by antisemitism. "Propaganda merely uses the existent material. It does not create it."89
Just as the Judeo-Christian rapproachement was contested on the theological and political plane, the principle of a Judeo-Christian civilization in Europe had to be eliminated by producing and constantly propagating Judeophobia. Hamadi Essid, head of the Arab League Mission at Paris, and its permanent delegate to UNESCO, told a meeting in 1970: "For some time there has been a catch-phrase: "Judeo-Christian values". The slogan is directed against the Arabs" [sic]90. The Arabs reject the term "Judeo-Christian civilization and replace it with "Abrahamic civilization," because as Abraham was a Muslim according to the Koran, it follows that Western civilisation not only includes the Islamic dimension, but is Islamic in its essence.91

The inimitable Hugh Fitzgerald describes the fraud vividly as "that "three Abrahamic faiths" business":
Fitzgerald: More Blague from M. Cherif Bassiouni
[...]
One finds, unsurprisingly, most of the usual clich�s of Interfaith-Racketeering (Muslim-Christian and Muslim-Jewish Divisions) in M. Cherif Bassiouni's response. For example, his passing allusion to "the three abrahamic faiths" -- a phrase that tells us nothing, because of course the "Abraham" of Islam is completely different from the Abraham of Judaism and Christianity, just as the Moses of Judaism, and the Jesus of Christianity, are very different from the versions of them -- Moussa and Isa -- to be found in Islam.
M. Cherif Bassiouni, Distinguished Research Professor of Law Emeritus and President Emeritus, International Human Rights Law Institute, DePaul University, knows this perfectly well. And he knows just how deceptive that "three abrahamic faiths" business is, just as that business of all "three monotheisms" is deceptive, for it implies that there is some benign relation between Islam and the two prior-in-time monotheisms. But while Christians and Jews do, as "People of the Book," ahl al-kitab, receive special treatment -- they are allowed to stay alive, and even, under very onerous conditions of course, to practice their religions -- rather than being subject to immediate forcible conversion, or to death (as are those who are not "People of the Book"), their lives were, and obviously are, difficult under Islam. And that is why, over the centuries, many converted to Islam -- to avoid the difficult, and sometimes horrific conditions (which could include forcible mass conversions overnight, if a Muslim ruler took it into his head to insist upon it), including permanent physical insecurity, because a Muslim could kill a non-Muslim with impunity, and because, if even one member of a dhimmi community did not fulfill his duties -- say, did not pay the Jizyah -- the entire community could be punished.
The history of the non-Muslims under Islam, the history of the Dhimmi, has begun in modern times, thanks to the pioneering and lonely works of analysis and synthesis by Bat Ye'or, who recognized that this part of the history of Islamic conquest had been ignored. See, for example, the disgraceful scanting of the dhimmi in Bernard Lewis's "The Middle East: the Last 2000 Years," in which, in a volume of 400 pages, the dhimmi is mentioned in exactly three (consecutive) paragraphs, two of them exculpatory, with a great deal of vagueness about exactly what was demanded of the dhimmi (Christians and Jews under Islam, from ahl al-dhimma, or "the People of the [soi-disant] Pact").

But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.

This invasion of one's mind by ready-made phrases ...... can only be prevented if one is constantly on guard against them, and every such phrase anesthetizes a portion of one's brain.
Those who fall for the ""three Abrahamic faiths" business are obviously sufferering from the killer condition dhimmitude which of course includes having one's brain anethetized, ready for invasion.
