DO Jews believe Muslims are closer to them religion wise than Christians ?

Your friend the"Rabbi"sounds a bit like an extremist and not to be trusted,Christians are the best religion-I do agree that Jews and Muslims are very similar and cannot understand why both religions nutters and the different faction nutters of the Christians cannot get on-Maybe if this happened we would have the perfect world but that's just a pipe dream there are too many extremist maniacs on the planet for this to occur
