There wasn't really a divide.
Mohammed (who wasn't a Jew or a Christian) lived in Saudi Arabia. He had a series of revelations from 'Allah' which form the basis of Islam. He claimed that 'Allah' was the same god asthat of the Christians & the Jews (who were both quite important in the region).
However the Qu'ran (his holy book) is inconsistent with both the Torah/Old Testament & the New Testament.
Most importantly he claimed that Jesus was a prophet & not the Son of God (something that is theologically impossible in Islam & Judaism).
From an Islamic perspective, God is Allah but from a Christian perspective he isn't.
