I wanted to add other religions to it but people didn't like that so I opened this one up

I think it should include the Bahai as well, since its a somewhat culmination of all the big three. and also because they built this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrine_of_the_B%C3%A1b its nice. i like it.

What is Abrahamic religions, and why is it called like that?

Abrahamic religions claim to trace their origin back to Abram. One of the reasons this is a big deal is that, in the mythos, Abram had two sons, Isaac and Ishmael, and Judaism and Islam make separate claims about which one was nearly sacrificed (and which one the ethnic group of each religion are descended from). That's one of many reasons there's always been tension between Israel and Palestine.

Why and when did Muslims and Christians fought each other? Considering the fact they both believe in the same god. This one always bugged me.

Because the Muslims had a lot of wealth and the Christians wanted it. In fact you wouldn't think it now, but the middle east used to have an almost endless golden age.

In spite of what you hear in the rhetoric that religion is the cause of all war... It usually is just an excuse for much more simple reasons.

[Orange Wizard]

Neonivek's actually about right with that one. The whole religion thing was pretty much an excuse for the Crusades.

I definitely wouldn't call them "the same god", though.

[Sheb]

Well, you also had fighting much earlier, with the Muslims creating one hell of a big-ass empire in what was once Christian land (As well as a bunch of other lands).

[10ebbor10]

Besides, having nearly the same religion isn't really helping. (Spanish Inquisition).

But still even that was done for other political reasons.

except, it definitely is the same god. Both faiths( 3 with judaism) worship the god of Abraham. The way they worship it in different ways and disagree strongly on prophets and messages. But they are all about the same entity.
