Except none of the religions you mentioned outside of Christianity actually worship the God of Abraham.
People in the Middle East before Islam worshipped a variety of gods: moon gods, sun gods, etc. Then Mohammed came along, claimed to have revelation from one god called Allah, and incorporated the polytheistic rituals of his contemporaries into his new monotheistic death cult. He claimed that this Allah was the same as the God of Abraham, but it’s fairly obvious from Allah’s words and instructions, plus the behavior of their followers, that they are not the same. Just because Mohammed claims that his god is the God of the Bible does not make it so.
The Jews have the same problem. You are correct that Jesus is Jewish, but that doesn’t mean that all Jews worship the God of the Bible. They claim to follow God, but have rejected His Son Jesus Christ. Therefore they do not worship the one true God, but a false idol of their own making that conforms to their own ideas of what their Messiah should be.
Lastly, the Catholics. They too don’t follow either Christ or the God of Abraham. They have invented their own doctrines (or adopted the practices and doctrines of the pagans around them) and set them up as the commandments of God. They preach salvation by works in direct contrast to the Bible, making Christ’s sacrifice of little to no effect. They take a man, call him the pope, then arbitrarily say that his words are God’s words. They encourage prayer and worship toward people. They preach a false gospel. They are Christianity’s version of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
These groups can all claim they worship the one true God all they want, that does not mean they do.
Your argument concisely is that they can’t be worshipping the same God (God of Abraham) because of how they practice/worship and their non-belief in Jesus.
Not because the God they worship (no matter how) isn’t the God of Abraham, which every religious text from the Torah to the Quran acknowledges.
How one worships (which is a completely seperate issue) varies even in our religion from different denominations and in different religions.
Jesus is the son of God, not God himself. Jesus was Jewish and He whom is his father is the God of Abraham.
Just because those religious texts say they worship the God of Abraham doesn’t mean they do.
Jesus is the Word, who is with God and is God (John 1). Jesus said that those who reject Him reject the Father who sent Him (Luke 10:16).
What Catholics, Jews, and Muslims have all done is rejected the God of Abraham and created a false idol that conforms to their own ideas. Then they insist that Abraham worshipped their false idol masquerading as God. Yet it is not so. If they followed the God of Abraham they would also follow the Messiah whom God sent, and they clearly don’t.

Things that are different cannot be the same.
