It's quite simple, they don't see each other as "brother against brother". That's the problem and I don't mean all of them but there is the ideology that they are guided and the others misguided or even infidels and that is worse to them than a Christian or a Jew. because to them it is rejection of truth after been given or seeing it. Instead of seeing each others as bro's/sisters it's infidels, rafidi's or whatever else.

People have become their own God in judging others.

6:159 (Asad) VERILY, as for those who have broken the unity of their faith and have become sects - thou hast nothing to do with them. Behold, their case rests with God: and in time He will make them understand what they were doing

42:15 (Asad) Because of this, then,  summon [all mankind], and pursue the right course, as thou hast been bidden [by God]; and do not follow their likes and dislikes, but say: ?I believe in whatever revelation God has be?stowed from on high; and I am bidden to bring about equity in your mutual views. God is our Sustainer as well as your Sustainer. To us shall be accounted our deeds, and to you, your deeds. Let there be no contention between us and you: God will bring us all together - for with Him is all journeys? end.?

Peace
As-salamu alaykum, I can see this logic if the issue was only between Islam, Christianity and Judaism, however what I don't understand is how and why Muslims are fighting and killing Muslims? They make a mockery of the Quran by doing so?

42:15 Seems prophetic rather than helpful to see the right path? It moves the responsibility to a future event?

Well some people only believe in their own version of "Muslim" and justify certain acts anyway not all people are like that.. also a lot of people inherit religion and grow up in a cultural-religious environment. so in a way inheriting a belief/practise doesn't help if one doesn't read or study the book.

We all have blind spots.
Follow your heart but take your brain with you.
ambiguity is there for a reason, why do you think?
We're all different, so how can we all be equal?

Walaikum asalam SarahY,

To me this means that there is still something missing in the creation from God and his will, after all it is the ones who study it that claim dominion over those that don't at all, calling them infidels and seeing reason to kill them.

Something is not quite right...
