It's all about who the most important prophet is, and anyone that disagrees is wrong and we hate them.
Religion is wild.

time to create a polytheistic religion with 3 gods; Adonai, God, and Allah... it'll unify those three religions into being confused and uncomfortable about my religion.
I call it the Tyrant god.
They don't all believe in the same God though. Jews and Christians sort of do, only in part. They at least share the old testament. Muslims have a totally different God though, and totally different texts.
they all technically believe in the same God, in one version said god has a son who sacrificed himself, then Muslims built on that as well.
even though the "vibe" and lore of each God is different, technically they are all the same entity.
Muslims built on that by saying Jesus was never crucified, and someone else died in his place. Christianity is based on Jesus both being crucified and being God. They all disagree on who God is, so they can't all worship the same God.
Three people all say they saw Santa Claus last night. They each claim they ate cookies with him. First person says Santa told him that chocolate chip cookies were his favorite. Second person says Santa told him peanut butter cookies were his favorite. Third person says Santa told them that Oatmeal cookies were his favorite.
1 none of them ate with Santa and are all lying. Or 2 only one of them ate with the real Santa, and the other two ate with fakes or are lying.
But they did not all eat cookies with the same Santa.

Wait until you hear about Christians' conflicts with other Christians! Also a lot of Islamist terror is directed at Muslims who follow Mohammed's teachings the wrong way.
Was flabbergasted when I found out that there was a straight up murderous hate between different sets of Christianity. You can tell the book is the perfect word of a divine being, since it spawned so many different mutually exclusive interpretations
I dont think any Christian who has a sliver of religious education considers the bible to be the word of God. For starters some of the Gospels that are canon already start with an explanation that this is a recollected account. Then there is other chapters like the letters to the Romans and so on. As for the Torah it is also clear that it is containing some revelations but also a lot of interpretation and chronicles.
This is fundamentally different to the Quran, which we Muslims believe to be the word of God as revealed to the prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) and preserved in full and in the original Arabic language. Also Muslims are obliged to treat Christians and Jews (people of the book) kindly and respectfully, unless persecuted or attacked by them.
There have been actual crusades inside europe against the 'wrong' type of christians
Honestly, God designed the bible, not so much that it would have many different interpretations, but that certain truths would be hidden from those that do not belong to Him. Just like when Jesus told parables, they weren't understandable by everyone for the same reason.
There are hundreds (likely actually thousands) of Christian denominations:

Gonna need a lot more arms.

Oh look, a circle jerk.
rELiGiOn bAD!
There's nothing Christians/Muslims/Jews hate more than slightly different variety of Christians/Muslims/Jews. The other 2 are far behind.

Christians believe Jesus is god and have a Trinity thing going on.
Jews and Muslims have an entirely different concept of god than modern day Christians.
There is at least one Christian religion that believes Jesus is below God, while believing he is the Messiah, Gods son, and much of the rest of the Christian beliefs (Jehovah's Witnesses). They don't believe in the Trinity. Holy Ghost/Spirit is just a tool like the force to them, not a distinct person
